Lmao!

I simply called you out on our stupid post especially when you were labelling people who were all for the truth idiots..

The truth is this country is messed up and to try justify these evil by comparing with whatever mess happens in another country shows how stupid you are. If Indians are rapist, does that justify Nigerians becoming one? The funny thing is in our case, we had onlookers who preferred to video and enjoy such acts rather than come to the rescue of the little girl!

We have leaders, security men (Police and Soldiers) who are more or less crooks and corrupt and you dare compare that to the europeans? Exam malpractices and all sorts of crooks are found in our society even at a tender age and your foolish self is all about other countries that are equally messed up?

I won't be surprised if you're one of these crooks you champion! What a waste!

the article is very true because am a living testimony to that fact. the average Nigerian is always looking for a way to scam yoh no matter what it takes, thats not to say that they aren't good Nigerians its just the bad eggs have soiled the good ones so much. and to those saying that the guy is racist, pls we should try and tell ourselves the truth, the world does not trust us at all its so bad. in mg area alone they are about 40 yahoo boys and I stay at Surulere so whaf are we saying

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?

White Americans dont commit much crime. These crimes are done by african Americans. As a matter of fact the black race has the highest rate of prison incarceration in the united state. Dont leave the message and attack the messenger

But he is generalising. The truth is that people that give Nigeria bad images are in the minority, contrary to what many think. For every internet fraudster, there are hundreds of honest Nigerians!

Amberon:
This guy is not lying at all. While I lived in eastern Europe, I got to understand these things more. I met some guys who were internet scammers. All their Nigerian friends who lived there (and i mean all with the exception of none) were internet scammers too. Eventually one got arrested (he's probably still in jail now) and several others fled the country for fear of being arrested too. One ran to Ghana after he was caught withdrawing money from western union with fake documents. He was under strict investigation and fled the country using a fake passport (which is another crime). Apparently he would create fake bank websites that are identical to the original websites. Imputing your credit card details in those websites would result in him getting all your information and subsequently he would "wire" out every penny you have. I also got to know that they did a lot of online shopping with stolen cards.

We shouldn't play the"racism card". The op is 100% correct. This op isn't exaggerating at all. Nigerians have also destroyed the reputation of Malaysia. A cyber cafe was busted in Lagos for habiting fraudsters and the locals all came out to support the fraudsters.

We don't need to lie to ourselves, the op isn't saying that EVERY Nigerian is bad, he is simply saying that an overwhelming majority of us are bad and that is the gospel truth if we mean to be truthful to ourselves. Look around and you'll find that several of your colleagues steal office property when the opportunity arises.

Sebastine1994:
Hi sister
let us remember to keep our eyes on the call and not veer off-course. The matter at hand is that a whole country has been branded thieves and idiots even illiterates. We are trying to see how true such statement is. We are talking about our beloved country here not about black american. Most of these statements are true. But my patriotism to my country will not let me keep an open mind.
The thing is not to compare ourselves with other people but find a way to better ourselves. This is a problem sister. Problems are opportunity. So we should be thinking up solutions rather than whine about it

Sebastine1994:
My sister from another country who has never been to nigeria but identity herself as nigerian american. I was born a full nigerian and will die as nigerian. I cant change my country because it is bad.
As for the black america statistics you keep hammering about, use your phone. GO to google.com. You will see a rectangular box. That is the search box. Then type PEOPLE WITH HIGHEST INCARCERATION RATE IN AMERICA. LOL
you Are not nigerian sister but part of the problem nigeria has. I mean it. Stick with one country only. Dont be lukewarm

Nigeriadondie:
I am a Nigerian living abroad and I cam authoritatively tell u all that what the writer said is d truth. The criminal records of Nigerians here has really given us a bad image which also makes even the decent one to be potrayed as criminals limiting the oppurtunities we can get.
The present condition of d country is a testament of d criminal nature of Nigeria. I am living in one of the world's richest countries with d highest possible standard of living and I say it to all that if Nigerians wud be transferred here, this country wud be in total mess in less than a month. Nigeria is forever doomed and that is y i ran away as a sharp man. It is a very hopeless place that even d Devil has more hope than Nigeria

Sebastine1994:
Sister.
I am sorry if I was harsh before we are branded disrespectful too. Sorry again. If I may ask why are you suddenly taking interest in your Igbo heritage again?
Sister watch fared Zekeri for his analysis on black incarceration rates. Even the media is not sparing Black's. With all those negative stereotypes. Half of the black kids dont have a father because he is behind bars. We are all coloured folks whether from america africa or Brazil. This is not good. African american has the highest divorce rate and dropout rates. The only african american we see are rappers with sagging pant. These are no mentor. Ben Carson stands out. Obama too. We are proud of them

MZLady39:


Wow.....I guess you are being honest.

Nigeriadondie:

I forgot to say that I ve a neigbhour of mine a white woman a divorcee and in her middle age that was defrauded by a Nigerian. Though with my advice she was able to get d fraudster arrested by d EFCC and recovered her money but sadly she is still in debt as she is paying interest on the money she lost as part of it were with credit card. My sis if u ve the chance to travel out of Europe u will curse our leaders and their greed.It is here in Europe especially the part of the world i reside I came to see what difference it makes when there is no corruption and where such is punished. That there is more than enough to satisfy everyone. With a very transparent system, all benefits. I mean it when I say all. Not even as little as one person is poor cos of the social security for the disabled, unemployed or aged, free school at ALL levels, subsidised health for all but free for those who are unable to pay.
Not until I came here, constant power which will forever be a mystery to solve in Nigeria is solved as I am living for my first 3 years of my entire life without power interruption. Even I as a foreigner what I ve benefitted here in this few years I wud never get in Nigeria my entire life unless i am of the elite which shud not be.
I will say it again and again it is far easier for d Devil to make heaven than for Nigeria to progress. Our desire to make wealth without moral principles, greed will lead that nation to unavoidable ruin and misery it is experiencing. What baffles me is that we call God pass, here oyibo nonsend God. Infact if u come thier church u will ask urself why d need for a church building.
Some of us that may want to contribute our quota to do what govt suppose to do they wud be requesting for bribes can u imagine that.

I think its a "he". I also think this was informed by racism and hate more than anything else. There are too many generalisations. There are bad eggs in Nigeria, no doubts about that, but to say ALL NIGERIANS are like that? That's an overstretching of falsity!

Ishilove:
This is awkward...

An ignorant racist writes nonsense and some Nigerians are accepting it as gospel truth.

While we accept that Nigeria is a country bedevilled by corruption, this kind of generalisation has rendered the article nonsensical. How can you say 'every Nigerian is a scammer'? The most notorious scammers in history are Americans, Europeans and Asians. Every crook hiding in cyberspace can claim to be Nigerian because we already have a bad rep.

I dismissed the entire article when the silly writer inferred that Nairobi is in West Africa. I cannot take the thoughts of such an ignorant person seriously, whether black or white.

As for the Emmanuel who commented on the blog, he evidently belongs to that class of Nigerians in Diaspora who display their rock bottom self esteem and inferiority complex by being more American than the Americans.

Crap!
