Nigeria has recently become the hub of trekkers. I will like to make a list of the beliefs that people have about the trekkers. I know that some of us will be guilty of one or two of these. These include:
1. The trekkers are jobless: we believe that it's only a person that has nothing to do will embark on such journey for days. A person can not just leave his job for days without incurring any loss.
2. The trekkers are mad: To some people, only a mad person will trek such distance. They then conclude that these trekkers are mad.
3. The trekkers are heroes: some take these trekkers to be extraordinary people doing extraordinary things to appreciate or make a complaint on behalf of a group of people and therefore, they should be praised for their courage.
4. The trekkers are poor: some people take these trekkers to be poor and cannot afford the transport fare to there destinations. They take them to be trekking under the pretense of appreciating or making a complaint but in the real sense, they can't afford the transport fare to their destinations and that what is making them to trek.
5. The trekkers are attention seekers: most people believe that the trekkers are just trekking just to gain cheap attentions, especially from the social media and the leader they are going to "appreciate."
6. The trekkers are liars: some of us still hold the fact that there is nothing like trek because no man can ever trek such distance. Many people are still doubting if these people are really trekking.

yeah, and I guess they need jobs

People do these things in other countries and we hail them, "chai oyibo are very brave", "oyibo second name na adventure"! Now, one or few of ours do it and they're labelled liars, poverty stricken, attention seekers, etc! For how long will we Africans continue to wallow in the 'put him down, oyibo na oga' syndrome?!

@OP... IMHO this is your own level of xenophobia! You and others who share your views!
