Not only in Nigeria, so is every part of the world. We are all guilty of one crime or the other, no saint.

fratermathy:
This post was made by a citizen of the US in his blog. I was really disturbed by it and thought to share here to see reactions. I'll also post some of the disturbing comments I saw. Please take your time to read it and comment on what you think. I have also boldened some of the important parts of the post.

OP: All i want to know is why you changed Lagos to Nairobi in the last paragraph. Nigerians, you are amazing people but you need to accept this is how the world sees you and understand that insults just serve to reinforce his point. All the best, guys

willibounce1:


Nor mind these people. The tag Nigerians all sorts of names because they live here. So there are no dirty and lazy people in other countries? As it is in Nigeria, so it is in so many other countries. There is nothing new under the sun. If you get scammed, you learn your lesson. You cannot be too careful to be able to avoid any form of scam from people. Make all man use him brain.

SSBN:


You are the biggest idiot in history . I am not a scammer, but these Nigerians you despise are doing nothing but surviving. They sustain their family and train the less priviledged to school. The peopme doing real damage to Nigeria are our crooked politicians. Rather than hold them accountable you make excuses for them and blame Yahoo boys. Did you know that the Nollywood movie industry which we Nigerians all have pride in was Bourne out of money made from Yahoo?

chiraqDemon:

Very true.
Also about the scammers, after the MMM era, then came that dead era. All sorts of ponxi schemes were opening up daily. Some would open up 6am in the morning and after successfully collecting an amount they feel comfortable with, just shut down before night sef and be gone.
These were nigerians doing this to each other. And those who participated did not care about the fact that they could be scammed, they would rush in and donate cash as soon as they hear of a new one so that they wiuld be among the first batch to be paid, as far as they weren't the ones the schemes closed down on then they were okay.
Looking back at it i realised that those ppl might say they are not scammers because they did not open or shut down the scheme, but they forget that they helped spread the scam fever. I can also say they were scammers cos they invited friends who came over and got scammed. These were all nigerians.

I do mot know what we can do to repair Nigeria's reputation if there is any left to even repair. The country is in a mess and we are the cause of it, that much is certain.

You're mistaken.
I didn’t attack the lady. I didn't even see the post. But now I get what you're saying. I've see shoe parts that had been branded by the manufactures .
No hard feelings
But I would've understood earlier if your comments were not laced with insults.

RosaConsidine:


Interesting. Pray tell, what brands did Adidas, Nike and other international brands rip off before becoming name brands themselves?

kpaminose:
The West is to be blamed for all the evils going on in Nigeria. starting from how they colonized and plundered our heritage to how they sowed a bad seed of animosity and discord in Nigeria. making sure the most corrupt and least qualified among us rule us to how they create and plan wars and crises. I'm one of the people that still think that all the problems in Nigeria and all Africa was and is caused by the Europeans. Our only offense is being weak and we're still weak and weakness is not an excuse.

hero2000:


Such wisdom from your comment!

armyofone:
Stayed away from naija churches here...carry the way they do things in your home country to your adopted country ha, the cycle goes on.

bishopkay:


Lol... Adidas and the brands you just mentioned were built by their founders to fit a purpose and particularly to last.

Did you read the last paragraph of the post you quoted because if you did, you would see where I listed what prompts people into going into business.

Maybe this would help https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adidas

Compare it with a young lady who probably reasoned she'd work in an oil company or in the banking industry and earn 6 figures after finishing school and Nysc only to come out and see the cold eyes of joblessness, hopelessness and hunger staring down at her.

That girl is probably just looking for a way out of hunger ;Dso you guys should please quit playing self righteousness on her

gypsey:
true! to repair nigeria nigerians have to accept that nigeria needs repairing, to find a solution to a problem the problem must be identified first.

a lot of nigerians are in denial of the fact that nigeria as a country is in a mess. instead what you read on here is oh! the Russian and the Indians are criminals also, why do people care about Indians and Russians or American crimes? let's repair our country and leave Indians, Russians and Americans to deal with their own criminals and fraudsters and concentrate on our own and how to resolve it.

And nigerians needs to dump this mindset of as long as it's not happening to me it's okay or its not my problem and look the other way atitude.

CookieBrown:


The West is to be blamed for all the evils going on in Nigeria ---> Aaah! Yes! The West is to blame for everything, you're very correct.

1. When you wake up at night in the dark with no power, it's the West that caused it

2. When you wake up in the morning with no power, it's the West that caused it

3. When you're stuck in traffic for 3 hours straight on your way to work, the West is to blame

4. When you eventually lose your job, the West is to blame

5. On your way back home, when the police beat and harass you for bribes, the West is to blame

6. When you finally get home and there's no food in the house, the West is to blame

7. While hungry and looking for food in the fridge, power goes off and you hurt yourself. The West is to blame

8. When you finally decide to become an armed robber to rob your neighbors, the West is to blame

9. Finally, when caught and sentenced to death, the West is to blame

Hm! I wonder who's fooling who in this country .

RosaConsidine:


So basically, you're all for survival by any means necessary, even if the means is illegal, fraudulent or harmful to society? If she had dreams of working in an oil company and that didn't work out, is there absolutely nothing else she could have done other than making and selling fake and substandard products and passing them off as name brand originals? I try to understand hustles people do to survive but to say that all of it is legitimate and right is basically doing society a disservice.

willibounce1:


And this one is still advertising scam here. I don't even know why the mods won't ban someone like this. If he was making so much money and winning the bets with his sure fixtures, will he truly let anyone know?

blackfase:

As weird as it sounds, I've never thought of things that way

That's quite an ideology, even when I first heard of intentional and unintentional racism

beautygboel:
Nigeria is corrupt we agreed. Before you remove log in someone's eyes check yours. show me a country free from corruption and I will show someone worst than a Nigerian.

We are bad, why are they flooding our country to do business? The other day I ran into a retail shop completely run by China men, I was like arg, what are this people doing here.

We are bad, most of our home video teaches Love but the so call foreign movies we see are all massive crime, killing, robbery, Internet theft, just mention it. It makes me wonder what kind of message are this people passing?

From my understanding everything bad we do in Nigeria we learnt from them because we copy everything from the white, name style, dressing, language, style, culture, evening the so white wedding that we Nigeria cannot do without again is not our culture.

Which people started Internet theft, where did the Nigeria learn to steal and use masters and visa card, who show us how to defraud people online.

We bad I begggg them worst. I love Nigeria God bless Nigeria, I don't tolerate anybody bad mouth my people. #ProudNigerian

SSBN:
Bleep what they say. I forever proud despite the problems. Can you imagine the level of carnage out society will be if Nigerian youths decided to sit by and wait for govt...like some welfare state. It will be Civil War 7 by now. According to a Portuguese researcher Pedro who visited Nigeria to see for him self

"Nigeria is the most entrepreneurial country in human history" Everything from Showbiz to Nollywood to our music Industry to Yahoo to .....anything is Bourne out of the need for survive. The biggest ponzi scammers in living memory is American....the Madoff scandal ruined millions. Drug racketeering and weapons is a bigger threat to Americans than Nigerian scammers. Illegal imigrant in a daily basis kill innocent Americans, you hear reports of 80 year old women been raped by Hispanic illegals.

.....yet Nigerians are the bad guys because of their affinity to date white women. Wtf. The head of the U.S military Drone program is Nigerian you dumb bleeps. It was a Nigerian doctor who inspired the movie Concussion...which by the way saved countless lives you dumb bleeps. I'm not saying Nigeria is perfwvt, but if you gonna generalise a whole nation then better get your fucking facts in order you dumb bleeps. Africans hate Nigerians because they cannot stand out drive to success, our confidence, our can do spirit *Which America once possessed* but have been lost to a stupid culture of Liberal decadence and debauchery where being gay anf transgender makes you a hero. America going down the drain because of this and somehow Nigerians are to blame. Bleep you modafuckers.
