Not surprised. Tell them to go to school, they wont. Most of them are illiterates fortunate to be born in a developed country. Africans are more learned that them.

What kind of image do we portray to them in our movies, news and online?

That's the kinda perception they would have about you.

Due to the high level of scam emanating from Nigeria, if you are proposing a business to a white man from Nigeria, the first thing that comes to his mind is, this could likely be a con man masqurading as a legit business man.

From that moment, his guard is on 24/7.

Africa, we are our own undoing

Yeah, you are right bro. Our scammers have made doing business with the westerners very difficult.

Most of the westerners are uneducated when it comes to learning anything related to other countries. I actually do believe that a majority of them still do think this way. You forgot one more thing, they assume that every African who comes to their country is a prince or from royalty.

Even till now bro. Goan watch videos on YouTube. What they think about Nigeria is even worst.

When J.Cole shared his Nigeria concert video, did u not see those his ignorant fans asking how come Nigeria have and be able to operate"'IPhones"... They don't know anything about Africa yet so they still use the old mentality to describe Africa. Nigeria own na bad pass... they know us as "Scammers, Criminals and Poverty"

That's their concern.

That is why you will gather Three Hundred and Sixty Naira (N360) to give to Oyibo to buy ONE Dollar ($1)
OR
Four Hundred and Seventy Naira (N470) to give Oyibo and collect ONE pound (£1)
-
You may think that it normal. But then again that is the level you place yourself. They think little of africans and we think little of our selves as well. Hence the ruthless exchange rate.

The American will Give One Dollar ($1) to the British Man and collect 77 Pence back (£0.77)
Almost 1 to 1 ratio

Because they value each other almost equally.

No No No No angry

A lot of economic indices are reviewed before you get the final exchange rate between economies.

Those number are not there by emotional sentiments

They might be right if they meant countries like Biafra, South Sudan, and other chest beating fantasy nations like that in Africa...








Igbo land is the least developed in Africa..


But ironically, they develop Amelica, Indoresia, Maraysia, Ragos, Chaana and so on...
