unapologetic: This reminds me of the first time i volunteered for a cause abroad, the people were surprised because they thought every Nigerian is bad and can't be found helping the less priviledged. have even heard some people saying they know that the Ibo's are the bad eggs but i told them that every country has it's own share of bad people and this does not exclude Nigeria without pointing to a particular tribal group. i am Yoruba and i know that every tribe in Nigeria has it's own share of constituting to our bad image. People actually say that Igbos are the bad eggs of Nigeria? I'm sorry I would have to agree with the OP if this is the case. There is no way that outsiders won't point fingers at us unless we abet by spewing half truths to further various agendas. Although the ACTS of our bad eggs (which equally cut across various tribes) speaks louder than our words 1 Like |

@Thread starter, its not just Nigerians who spread these derogatory posts on Nigeria, many are made by people of other Nationalities who claim that they are Nigerians. If Ghanians call us their Noisy Neighbors then Nigeria is surrounded by Slimy Neighbors. Take the thread about Cameroon killed 29 Bokoharam for instance, do you really believe all those posters calling the Nigerian army names are Nigerians? Especially those ones obsessed by the Giant of Africa title? No, they are not Nigerians, many West Africans live in Nigeria and have accesses to the Web, these people don't have the open mentality of Nigerians, they're sneaky and two-faced and see nothing wrong in this personality trait. I also have first hand experience of this. When i was much younger and filled with that stupid Nigerian notion of One Africa and not yet open-eyed and because people did not know that i was African and thought that i was Caribbean, many Africans would confide in me their hatred of Nigerians. Much of the time these hatreds were based on what could only be jealousy. A point i would like to make and one that i have made many times is that Nigerians have to get away from this Notion of "Bad Image" because it is a subservient and unproductive posture. All nations are in competition for scarce resources one way or another and they're all to one extent or another disgraceful. This obsession is a hangover from colonial times when the relationship between the West and Africa was one of Master Servant or Parent and child. It is informed by the need to please the White master in return for approving pat on the head. Ghana people are obsessed by this need to please in return for approval and they have infected us with it. Once, when we were Nigerian-like, our soldiers would have damned international opinion and retained their weapons when they crossed into Cameroon recently. But in our obsession to be "respected" by international opinion, look what happened, we went and behaved like obedient good boys and gave them our weapons and the same international community are laughing derisively at us. There is no Omnipotent nation out there sitting in judgement of Nations whom we most please. No Nation is god-given or has divine rights. The potential of Nigeria and the attitude of Nigerians, their carriage, will upset those that have a set notion of how they want their Africans, which is subservient, needy and deferring. As long as Nigerians carry themselves as equals internationally they will be subjected to sanctions aimed at curbing their behavior and changing it to that which pleases them. The chief sanctioning tools of any behaviorism is demonisation. 4 Likes |

Come to think of it, I have been told to my face about the corrupt and horrible state of Nigerians and bad reputation of Nigeria. I noticed this in my travels to the UK and various parts of Africa. At times like this I wonder why God decided to label us 170 million unfortunate souls with the triple whammy: Being Black (in an anti-black world), being African (from a continent largely disparaged and ignored by the rest of a vibrant world). And, (To garnish our cosmic insult), being Nigerians. What a calamity...the fates must be busting their asses, laughing at our misfortunes. |

[quote author=Justcash] I like you, the reason i like you is that you have been able to identify a problem, though in an attempt to solve it, you failed to fix culpability where it rightly belongs. 1: BOKO HARAM: The rise of Boko haram from a mere group of boy scouts to a full blown terrorist organization is Infact aided by the support and free propaganda executed by Nigerians. Boko haram is mainly concentrated in a small area of Nigeria, and they have been able to fight persistently. The rise in their morale is a result of the support that Nigerians unknowingly give to them through telling unconfirmed stories about their exploits. Let me start by reminding you that every continent in the world can boast of at least two serious intelligent agencies, it means that Nigerians even on a broader scale are not in a position to inform or misinform serious countries, any country who decides to rely on twitter updates has herself to blame. During the days of Yusuf who was murdered in cold blood by the Nigerian security operatives with the video going viral on you tube, the International community condemned that mistake and warned Nigeria of the consequences, as usual, the Nigerian authorities denied every complicity and went about their normal business, Amnesty international took it further to warn about the human rights abuses committed by the Nigerian forces in the fight against boko haram, as usual we denied it. Today, that series of denials has metamorphosed into an armed group who initially was seeking for justice attacking police, military and immigration installations, it wasn't enough for the Govt to budge, the govt held senator Ndume by the Jugular as sponsor of the group and heavily politicizing it that the non discerning minds were left with confusion and despair, till date most Nigerians believe IBB, Buhari and co are all boko sponsors, do you blame them? The United states (housing the best intelligence agency in the world) have told us that Boko haram is bigger than what the Govt is thinking, invariably telling us that these APC guys the PDP are crucifying may not have a hand in it, but the Nigerian govt till date has refused to accept that as a fact and work with it, after the UN bombing in Abuja, a foreigner Mamman Nur was identified in connection with that, even with a foreign Identity, the former security adviser Azazi (who should be a reliable source of info by the way) was drumming that PDP is BH, BH is PDP, where does it leave the Nigerian people? When AIT, NTA, Channels etc have no single correspondent on the ground in the NE states, our local media rely on anecdotes and foreign media for information on an event happening in their backyard, shameful huh! every information I get on BH, the one from the foreign media quickly add up while the ones from our local media and govt remains a contradiction. Make no mistakes, youvonne Ndege has slept for three days in Chibok, giving daily updates for Aljazeera network, are you still blaming the Nigerian people? Boko haram was not bloated by the Nigerian people, the failure of the Nigerian press did, culpability will be fixed on the Government who capitalized on the failure of the Nigerian press politicizing the BH threat, partly to hide their incompetence. It leaves minds like mine with the option of BBC and Aljazeera. 2: EBOLA: Nigeria was Ebola free before Patrick Sawyer arrived with it. Few people that took care of him got infected before he died, and the LSG in collaboration with the FG struggled and contained the disease. Nigerians blew Ebola out of proportion. Some Nigerians kept spreading rumors about Ebola findings in states that were free of it. As expected, the fictitious news about how fast Ebola was spreading in the country was grabbed by the international news media, and it created panic in foreign countries. With less than 10 deaths from Ebola, Nigerians have been quarantined most at the entry points into foreign countries. This happened in HongKong, Singapore, Malaysia, US, UK etc. Of recent Nigeria was kicked out of the youth Olympics. This is the product of the way Nigerians self-destruct themselves. Again you miss the point, rumor or not it creates awareness, On the streets of Ivory coast, who by the way have not recorded a single case of Ebola, have bill boards warning citizens of the potential threat, do you call creating awareness over hyping? I disagree with you. The primary contacts of Patrick sawyer all died of ignorance resulting from lack of awareness, it is not enough to listen to doctors like Phantom who tell us they handled Sawyer with great deal of suspicion. If they were following the WHO bulletin from August 2012, they will know that in less than 1 month, Ebola has ravaged three countries in other words, the suspicion should go along side with quarantine if the doctors had any idea what they were dealing with, to suspect and lose your guard is the reason all of them are National statistics, now this is a fact that emotions cannot change. I was impressed last week hearing my mechanic talk about Ebola, it gives me the confidence that the awareness has gotten to the grass root and that is the only chance we have in fighting this epidermic, you may not appreciate that but seeing how the Virus spread in Liberia and sierra leone, hoping you read about a fake healer who have died of Ebola in sierra Leone who claimed he had cure for Ebola prompting a mass migration of Ebola through the two countries. In my opinion, we have not made enough noise about Ebola, we need to do more so we don't spread the virus, the doctor who recently died in PH, leaving the family on death row if that is not ignorance, what else is it? nurse Justina traveling to Enugu to share her cut, is it not ignorance? As of Sunday, the health care system in Liberia has collapsed, hospitals are closed, foreign doctors are leaving, people are dying on the street, how did it get so bad? Ignorance, from fake healer, to attacking health workers, to going to break Ebola centers to steal supplies, to "rescuing" Ebola patients from clinics etc. If we keep quiet on Ebola, believe me, the Most populous black nation in the world we be extinct, that i can assure you. 3: NIGERIAN MILITARY:The Nigerian army was respected and seen as one of the strongest in the world. This is an outcome of the years of conflict resolution at home and foreign countries. Of recent, the rise of Boko Haram has created a new challenge for the Nigerian army. Unlike in conventional warfare across borders, the enemies are within and can easily blend into the civilian population without being noticed. It is actually a difficult conflict especially as the military will have to avoid killing innocent citizens. I don't know about you but the last time I checked, four years ago, fire power rated Nigeria 4th behind Libya in Africa, at a time when BH was still a boys scout movement, can you guess where they are now? below SA, Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia. I am not surprised you mentioned the acclaimed success of the Nigeria army, that largely depends on your level of enlightenment, as for me, I know they are not who they said they are, it is not my fault that you were f00led by the propaganda of our military. During the Liberian war and pockets of military skirmishes at the time, due to the lack of internet infrastructures at the time, the awareness was not there, reason they returned and gave us half truths of their successes, the Onus is on you to research and get your facts right. For me I have, and the evidence point to gross indiscipline and over hyped success, I encourage you to do urs and come out with a subject worth discussing, Operation Barras was shame enough for the much touted Giants of Africa. Are Nigerians really demoralizing their armed forces? I don't think so, what I think every well meaning Nigeria is saying (though not with one voice) is give us results not stories!!. you mentioned that Cameroon or even Chad will be emboldened to breach our sovereignty because of what we say, naaa, it doesn't work that way, have you forgotten that all of them meet, and serve in different missions through out Africa under ECOMOG, AU or UN on a bigger stage? they already know our During the Malian intervention, an article was written that the French soldiers have refused to work with the Nigerian Without any significant input of the NA, the battle was won, country handed over to the deposed president while our boys stayed back doing stop and search, now this event was just a few years ago. If Nigerians like you asked the right questions then, perhaps, we may not have lost Gwoza to terrorists, why will the French prefer the Chadians over their Nigerian counterparts? that pertinent question you never asked was the reason you never realized that our last line of defense is long broken, Gwoza was just a confirmation of my long fears. When the Gov. of the bH epicenter lent his voice to the armed forces, the PDP mad dogs termed it politics, the man must have honestly wanted to help by making it public that our PDP with his agents of evil have a task to mask Nigerians in ignorance, people like you, Sincere9gerian and Gen Buhari must have fallen for their gimmicks, in the Health section, Sincere9gerian is regaining his senses, next is Gen Buhari, until we fix culpability where it belongs and eschew all forms of politics, this nation will fail faster than we expect. We have a nation run by thieves and Liers, where official press release doesn't even add up, do you know that while the Israeli govt was declaring victory over Hamas, majority of her citizens were demanding total annihilation of the Alqassan brigade, what does it tell you? the citizens know the depth of their military. 4: FOOTBALL AGE ISSUE: The issue of football age has become a big problem in soccer. However, the way Nigerians trumpet about the cases involving Nigerians makes it to look as if Nigerians are the biggest age cheats in soccer. As soon as a Nigerian age grade team wins a major tournament, Nigerians take to the social media and start tainting the image of the teams by making unverified statements about the true age of the members of the teams. Unfortunately, these allegations, though mostly unverified, are noted by the members of the international community, and it reduces the respect that the teams have brought for the nation. On the contrary, we strengthened our youth development with those accusations. Pius Ikedia would have served this country longer than few games had we discovered his talent early, the accusations have brought in the MRI technology still, the Nigerian youth have remained on top. I don't see anything wrong in it, constructive criticism shapes every system to make it better. May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians of course 3 Likes 1 Share |

I'm not one to blame our leaders for all of Nigeria's problems. The average Nigerian is part of the problem. However, you cannot discard the place of leadership in any of this. Where there is no leadership, things will collapse, be it in a nuclear family or at the national level. So that which you call BS is actually not crap. Leadership doesn't refer just to the President. What example does the average Nigerian set in his place of leadership? Now should we keep quiet and act like ostriches with our head buried in the sand? Hell no.

Allohrandy: do you know what is wrong with Nigerians like you? We don't hold our leaders accountable. This is the reason our country is in a mess up state. I am privilege to live in a western country and I see how their goverment treat their citizens with respect. when GEJ was running for office he promised to reduce crime, protect the life and property of every Nigerian, improve the standard of living in Nigeria. I would have to blame him if he fails to deliver on the promises he made to Nigerians. I feel compelled to reply you after seeing how articulate reasonable in your post. Let me make it abundantly clear here that I do not sing praises for GEJ but it is a pity the way people have turned to blame him for everything negative about this country. Let us blame successive governments right from 1960 because the story has been the same since then. Which among them did not promise but see where we are today. If we had gotten it right before, Ya'radua and GEJ wouldn't have found platform in the first place. Many SAINTS who post rubbish here would jump boat if they see any form of inducement, while some will be far worse than him if they are local council chairman. Call them to come out to protest, you won't see them, ask them to sit at home to frustrate the government, they will tell you they will die if they do not go out a day, ask them to come out and vote out the corrupt man, they will be at home watching home video.

Instead of screaming blue murder simply because we have bad leaders in the seat of government and wasting energy and time saying things and making so much noise that is not going to change anything, why don't we spend that time improving on ourselves and actually become better leaders in our own small areas of life. If everybody did that diligently instead of bickering and just talking, in no time at all we would have an army of people who stand for all the virtues of a well managed society - Justice, fairness, transparency and accountability.

jpphilips: Bro, it really is disappointing, very frustrating and highly saddening to see any Nigerian proffer the argument Samplegirl does because it implies we still have citizens who abet misrule due to how they do not understand the role of a leader and end up making excuses for leadership failure and mediocrity. As you stated, I just don't see the same type of thinking anywhere else in the world where polities, without excuses, expect leaders to deliver solutions as the leader promised he/she would !!! An electorate does not elect a leader only to say "we forgive you if the problems you said you can deliver solutions to have now proven to be beyond your capacity. You are free to carry on for another ten years dancing around our problems ". Every leader takes office fully aware of the problems he/she stakes his leadership on delivering solutions to. Even as samplegirl does not appear to be aware of it, there is an implied contract of problem-solving performance between the electorate and the leader they voted in to deliver solutions to the headache of the electorate. A balanced, ambitious and politically sophisticated polity will not waste time rehashing the problems. Rather focus must be on current efforts to address the problems. When current efforts is currently very poor or, in our Country's case, leadership is even worsening the problems then citizens will 'bad mouth' Nigeria. 2 Likes |

jpphilips: MissMeiya: Gbawe: samplegirl: I quite agree with you guys on one thing. Blaming the past for the woes of the present does not make sense. Afterall, the past only serves to point out out mistakes so that we dont make them again in present and not have to cry in future. A government comes into power fully aware of the issues at hand and its granted that they have a game plan aimed at tackling the issues. That said, Samplegirl did raise a valid point which we shouldn't miss. How many Nigerians can truly stand up for what is right in the Nigeria of today? How many people will actually stand up to fight against the vices in the nation. How many Nigerians have not wished in the inner hearts to be on the seat of power so that they can get their own share of the infamous "National Cake"? (Men that cake must be pretty large) How many Nigerians in public offices have not used their power of office to satisfy their own selfish desires? How many Nigerians can truly say they have neither received bribes nor given bribes whether willfully or otherwise? (Guilty) How many Nigerians have had the courage to stand up to the police force whenever they are oppressed? (Me ke! For where! I no wan sleep for cell ooo) How many Nigerians will lay down their lives to defend their country? How many Nigerians even have the willpower to change? How many Nigerians will put the interests of the stranger standing next to them before theirs? How many Nigerians will not face one way in a traffic when they are late for work? ( I am very guilty of this one ) The questions can go on and on. If we cant find good answers to any of these questions, then how then can we fight and change what is ruining us? If a president comes to rule Nigeria and gives out all his salary to fight some cause in Nigeria and solid evidence proves that he did not steal, manipulate or misuse funds and he eventually leaves office without enriching himself, these same Nigerians you see on Nairaland today, who are forming most holy, will cause him and call him a fool because he had a chance to enrich himself and did not. How many of us will not become oppressive monsters when they become wealthy or become bosses or CEO's in their various companies? Very few if at all there is any. So what then are we saying. I think what we need is a whole paradigm shift. Everybody including the babies need to be taught the principles of true leadership. We have to begin to imbibe the virtues of accountability, transparency, and fairness in all we do. Each and everyone of us can start at our own very small level. On an individual basis, that effort might be insignificant, but imagine if everybody did it. In no time at all, we would have a mighty army of people who are accountable in all things. And when you have that, our voice begins to have power because we then have a moral backing to demand the same from our leaders. If we are true to ourselves we will be able fight for what we know is right. No one will be so scared to speak up because we have the power of solidarity backing us up. |

I'd like to add another aspect here. While I agree that Boko Haram etc. (don't forget 419!!) dont do much for naija's image, I think much more of the negative image comes from personal experience people have with Nigerians. I can only speak of what I have seen with my own eyes though. In Europe, for example, 90% of Nigerian immigrants behave TERRIBLY. 1) they present themselves as asylum seekers which invariably includes a zillion lies, but they actually know that they have no chance to be accepted as refugees. As long as the procedure is running they benefit from the asylum system which was set up for real refugees and costs taxpayers millions and millions every year. Sure, there is often no other way to get in. But do you really expect the taxpayers to like this? 2) then they sell cocaine everywhere on the streets. 3) at the same time they are after countless women in order to get married because they know they will not be accepted as refugees. 4) While there is nothing wrong about getting married as such the things they do to these women are bad. They don't even see them as humans but as a ressource that needs to be exploited to the max. I guess you all know the game. In the end most find a woman who is willing to marry them out of love (from her side, whereas from his side he only pretends to love her with lies, lies and more lies). 5) once they are married they change and show their real ugly colours. Many of those wives do everything for them, but still they treat them like shit. 6) as soon as they have papers they abandon their wives (and often children) who have fought for them, but only after having cheated, beaten and betrayed them a million times. 7) they very rarely even make a minimal effort to learn about and to adapt to their host country and its mentality 8 ) they commit too many crimes abroad, some of them in order to live up to the expectations of a greedy family at home that refuses to acknowledge the realities about life in Europe Such behaviour is a main reason for the increase in xenophobia in many European countries in the past years. Brothers have told me that women would run away screaming if they told them where they come from. Seriously. I don't think our image will improve if we don't improve. As long as we only try to have a good image without actually living up to it it simply won't work. 1 Like |
