EbolaParasite: But if you look at the rate at which Nigerians travel compared to the USA, that's is if you statistically even the population Nigeria rate is higher. For example in the USA you don't even need to travel out of the country to have fun u have everything you need in the country..lol |

Even some so called journalists are guilty of this. I always shake my head whenever I read -- mostly on Goal.com -- something like "...the African player scored a few goals for his club..." But then, Goal's notoriety for absurd journalism is becoming something we all have to live with. |

jossi994: White peeps think that Africa is one big country with mud huts everywhere. Whose women expose their breastices and whose men hunt elephants with spears..Pls let's be factual. You really can't blame them for the misconceptions overtly . When your Nollywood would mostly use locations with mod and thatched roof houses in their films. When our head of states, presidents and politicians will make foolish decisions all the time by of greed and will usually want to stay put in government even when the citizens are clamouring for them to quit due to obvious miss rules and bad leadership. Worst of all Africans seeking asylum abroad claiming all sorts of disgusting reasons such as inter tribal war, religious clashes, genital mutilation, genocide etc. We Africans are guilty of misleading them. 4 Likes |
