How Do You Think The Internertional Community Thinks Of Nigeria? by PStacks(m): 2:22pm On Nov 15, 2014
Please, most sincerely, no lousy answers, no joking, let's be about Business.

Let's ask ourselves..

Who's a Nigerian?


What does the International Community thinks about who is a Nigerian?

What exactly does it mean to be a Nigerian?

What's the Value that Comes with Being a Nigerian?

What is the Perception of whom a Nigerian is, in the international community.

The true question is, who are we?

What do we ascribe to ourselves.
What value do we place on ourselves?
What is our worth?


what do Other countries think of Nigerians.


Like, I get to JFK airport and an American is there to receive me and someone introduces me to the American that I'm Nigerian..

What do I think is on the mind of that American just on hearing the fact that I'm Nigerian..

I just want to have an idea what you think is going on in the mind of that outsider when she heard I'm a Nigerian..


You know, when u hear this guy is German, you have somethings prejudiced to your mind already about whom a German is..

If they say, this is a Spaniard, he's Spanish and he's From Spain.. U already have an overall view of what them all those spanish people should look like.

When they say he's French, you know he's from France and speaks french.

When u say someone is an Isreali, u have your expectations of whom an Isreali is.


I just want to know what you think about what people think about "Whom a Nigerian is"


Who is a Nigerian?

Please Answer without Malice.
Thanks.

In such racist world, it is never something good when blacks or Africans are thought about. Ask Eric Thomas Duncan

Americans also don't worry about what the International community "thinks" about them.

The question is... Is that whom we truly are? I kind'a like you objectivity and your response..

Who do people say we are..


Who actually are we?

Remeber when Jesus Asked Peter.. "Who do people say I am"

The jesus asked Peter again.. "Who do you say I am"?


So! Who do they say we are and whom are we actually?

But Dora Akunyili is a Nigerian. She could have turned a blind eye on fake drugs and gotten rich..

When u say A Nigerian is someone that does anything for Money, how about Dora Akunyili, is she a Cameroonian or from Senegal... Nooo, Dora is a Nigerian..

So, pls tell me something else.

Are you kidding meor you are dead serious..

i think i agree with you.


i think the more libral minded people would think we are capable of anything.
i think dey think we really dont have an identity.

if we are in UK we do as dey do.

if we are in Yankee, we do as dey do.

if we are in rome we d as the romans

but when we are in nigeria, there is nothing to do like.. just do anyhow and do anything you want..


Anything goes. Free for all.. its nobody's own. Nobody is responsible for her.

Why worry about the international community? Ask two Nigerians to narrate what they tell their international friends about Nigeria. The international community has more regard for you than you have for yourselves.

What a bunch of self hating negros

Its not about self hating negro. Its about National Identity. Its about whom we truly are. Its about whom people think we are.

I won't have an igbo man defraud someone in germany and when I fly into germany as a yoruba man, the germans would term me a nigerian remembering the igbo man nigerian that defrauded him.

Does it truly mean anything to be a Nigerian?

We don't have a National Identity whatsoever as far as I'm concerned.

You dare not compare me with a boko haram idiot that has an ideology to kill, because he is a nigerian and a boko haram doesn't make me the same nigerian with him..

We are different people.
We must accept Igbo people are not the same with Hausa people nd yoruba people.

We are far too different.
Our diversity is just too much.

We are used to the age long lie that our unity is from our diversity.. !!! For real shocked

Are we really united?

Not to talk of the source of our unity..

They say the source of our unity is from our diversity and I beg to disagree although I still stand to be corrected.

Unless you are trying to turn your thread upside down, the issue here is Nigeria/Nigerian. The German does not know Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani, Bini etc. The German knows Nigeria.

That is exactly what I'm saying.. If boko haram kidnaps a german.. It is reported that a german has been kidnapped but if a yoruba man commits a crime in germany, how does the igbo man absorb himself of a character generally associatable with only yoruba people..

Ok, Boko haram is not an igbo thing and not a yoruba thing, its a northern thing..

because boko haram is a northern Nigerian thing, how does southern nigerian absorb himself from being a boko haram?

If I travel abroad today, how do I tell them.. Ok I'm nigerian, boko haram is nigerian but I'm not boko haram nigerian, I'm southern nigerian and boko haram is a northern nigerian phenomenon..

I can't travel abroad and have people think because I'm nigerian, I'm capable of being boko haram. Its not fair to me.

Is not fair undecided Nigerians are blamed for crimes committed by other Africans. As people assume all blacks are the same, mostly in Europe. Other Africans also get the heat from issues caused by Nigerians. The people in Germany treat you in the same way and manner you treat yourselves. Blacks/Africans hate themselves, don't expect anything better from a German. Is not a yoruba, Igbo or Hausa thing. It would be a Kenyan, Togolese or Ivorian.
