I grew up in Nigeria and I went to school with igbos, so I know what I am talking about. My
statement is not premised on third party hear say as in your case.

Just because you hear people say things about other tribes in Nigeria does not mean they
hate the tribe. Yoruba people talk a lot; even amongst their own ethnic group.

An abeokuta man can say things about an oyo or ijebu man, such that, you would think he
doesn't like them, but abeokuta, oyo and ijebu are all yorubas.

If you think you know all there is to know about this based on what you hear people say in
Germany, then go ahead and preach the word okay.

even here in America people from the North think those from the South are dumbos and they make fun of the southern accent and the southerners think those in the North are hostile, unfriendly,stuck up,less family oriented,more worldly etc.

It is everywhere.
I bet if you found yourself in the middle of no where,any black man even from the jungles of papua new guinea will become your buddy buddy.

GermanLady.

It is not hatred its more of a rivalry thing. The same thing obtains in europe , The french dont neccessarily like the english and i think the germans are the most hated anywhere in europe (due to world war two).
Re: West African Countries Hate Nigerians? by Free(f): 4:35pm On Sep 17, 2006
aha

the reason why most west african countries may hate
Naija is becuase of "Ur We all better than U attititude" that U guys have

Oh please, we are defitely confident, people may misineterpret it as arrogance, but you know what we dont give enough headspace to others to think we are better, we are inward looking.

My friends, its others who always like to compare themselves to us all the time, especially Ghanaians. Its because they can be very insecure people, even with eachother, they front so much.

I'm telling you, be around a group for half an hour, the conversation will go from the weather outside, to Nigerians, lol, not all of them mind, some are just great. I used to go to a Ghanaian salon, they would diss us, then watch our videos all afternoon, I just laughed, its jealousy, visit Ghana forums you will see it.

Part of our bad reputation was created by us, even if others front, believe me, I work in the legal field Ghanaians are just as criminal as Nigerians, they just pretend butter wouldn't melt.

For the record we have a bad reputation absolutley everywhere, my sister came back fromj Thailand we have the same bad rep, so really its up to us to remedy it.

@babyosisi

Please don't say that - it's too insensitive. That lunatic - Foday Sankoh was the mastermind behind
the whole killing.
Re: West African Countries Hate Nigerians? by mukina2: 10:40pm On Sep 25, 2006
Babyosis thatz my country you're talking about here.
we had a very painful civil war , most of the killers where young boys from ages 7 to 15 who were drugged,
its a very painful topic for me so i'll apprecaite it if you'll just drop it,

sierra leoneans do love nigerians, go to freetown today you wont be able to distingush nigerians from sierra leonean,
Re: West African Countries Hate Nigerians? by GNature(m): 10:44pm On Sep 25, 2006
@mukina2

I live here in the U.S. and believe me, Sierra Leoneans more than love Nigerians. Infact,
I know two Nigerian guys that are married to SL ladies and they very happily married.


Long Live Nigeria !!
Long Live Sierra Leone !!

Your profile says you 're in Australia,millions of miles from home,so you dont seem to know what the whole thing is all like down here.Never believe all what you read as news on the internet about naija.That's the mistake most people make,they know nothing about naija but believe everything they see/read on dailys or magazine, grin

But I think the topic states West African Countries Hate Nigerians, and i believe that situation is more clear abroad than in Nigeria, when i was in nigeria, i didn't experience any dissings or see any dissings by west africans, except for what i was told, M.O.M, the case is worse abroad
