Its high time we start telling our selves some home truth because i believe dat we are giants in Africa for the wrongest reasons,like high rate crimes and corruptions among our Government and its agencies,A country dat can not boast of somany things in terms of production and even distribution of its wealth should not be regarded as giants in any thing.just remove oil from the nigerian, her economy is left with nothing.Giants indeed.........................................? 2 Likes |

omo ale anambra ni e! Why spew so much hatred towards your own country....without a doubt some NIG are arrogant but some just have a sense of pride. If you think we should be looking down on ourselves because of our many vices....then charity begins from your home. As for me i look up, shoulder high, chest own and walk with a who dey there attitude because when i was in gambia the local people could not tell me enough about the mega star osoufia, as i ate my meal they played dbanj & gongo aso.....same in ghana and in the Uk at a party talking to other Africans students they said hey see you NIG just clear all the courses...mad ass intelligence. So despite all our vices I am queen because i am NIG. When you reach your base..tell them there that actually we are not all that.....O ba e lo.....the britons sing we are born to rule the world and my arrogance never reach their own. Our govt may be Bullsh*t but my fellow NIG are holding it ddddoooooooowwwwwnnnnn! 1 Like |

olayinka1987: talk about ignorance...Mexico is not in South America, K! Mexico is the poorest country in North America!! ...this poverty is attributable to the vices you mentioned. stop talking about facts you make up, the poster has his points and the only relevant fact as he has stated is that Nigeria is one of the poorest nations on earth, hence no need to feel superior to fellow Africans and...by the way, this is the reason some of us say we are from Africa as the name Nigeria is a drag on progress even outside of its shores!

In ur dreams. Perhaps the older generations. We went to school with those whites and remember our country has more human rights than any other. So we don't get bull shit from whites as much as u would like to believe other wise. We can play the racism card and they know they're fuc.ked! |
Re: I Hate The Arrogance Of Nigerians!!! by andrewza: 5:40pm On Apr 06, 2012 |
Black people do not fear whites. Maybe a few of them but those are the older folk who do not know they are in charge now the young and middle aged do not have fear. Actually there are more whites afraid of blacks than blacks of whites. Racism is nothing but a form of fear. And how come Nigeria is known for scams and not the so called sneaky Ghana. |

You are of sound mind and i take off my hat to you sir.I don't have much to say but i agree with your comments 100%.I live in South Africa and i know how much South Africans hates our guts because of our vices and arrogance.95% of the Nigerians (men & women included)living in South Africa behave like jungle animals ,they are extremely barbaric.You have to see them to believe it.They bring disrepute and shame to the rest of us 5% who are trying to live here in peace.They are loud ,arrogant,boastful,disrespectful,criminally inclined and mildly put disgusting. 1 Like |

In response to your 2nd thought, foreigners LOVE going to Naija. Why? 1) Culture 2) Food 3) MOST IMPORTANT: Large business oppourtunities Yes Naija has its problems, but it's still a place people love to visit. American celebrities enjoy going to Nigeria. Once you go, you're hooked. |

I read an article today, in which an American Billionaire was interviewed. As he sat admiring the picturesque view from his pent-house window, he calmly said "Someone was meant to enjoy this view and God Chose me". The point being Nigerians are Nigerians because they are Nigerians! Some race was meant to be arrogant and God chose us. When walk into any institution we immideatly begin to analyze the route with least resistance to the Bosses Chair! Can you honestly say that you have never thought like that? go ahead and lie. In our hay days, we were powerful imperialist, look at the great and power empires we created. If not for the arrival of oyimbo man, our own betrayal and our greed, the entire continent of Africa will have been our playground. Dang here I go sounding arrogant again, I must be an authentic Nigerian, the rest of you are all diluted or Made in China" |

Re: I Hate The Arrogance Of Nigerians!!! by Nobody: 6:59am On Apr 07, 2012 |
I can't believe Nigerians actually posted most of the rubbish up here. I agree that we are no longer the so-called giant(a mere title ), but what the hell are all these insults about? Is everything about Nigeria negative? Has any one even cared to reason out the positive things about Nigerians that make them rock as compared to the other Africans? Keep the negatives aside and you will see many things about typical Nigerians that make them rock. Whether you agree or not, they are certainly one of the most HARDWORKING Africans you can ever meet. If Nigeria's political system were good, can you think of any thing that will hinder it's development as compared to the so-called 'better' African nations? If with the present state of things in this country, people still continue to work hard to make ends meet, then there must be something about Nigerians that make them tick. I don't play these games of comparisons though. People should also not forget that many people post comments that they do not actually mean just to stir reactions here on Nairaland. Saying Nigerians are arrogant is very incorrect! This is an online forum and people can say whatever they want even if they do not mean it. |

Your submission is way off the point brother, Nigerians are not in any way more arrogant than any other people elsewhere. Do you have any problem with people who are very confident of themselves and will take no shit from anybody, black or brown? Check the meaning of arrogant and tell me how it relate to our attitude? i think your problem is psycho influence by the opinion of other nationals and you desperately try to make sense out of it, but alas you gaffe. Sorry, if you thought you made any point, because the truth is, you have said nothing sensible bro. you no try, you Bleep up big time... man.

Re: I Hate The Arrogance Of Nigerians!!! by stunna2(m): 3:02am On Apr 08, 2012 |
Please stop the accusations and counter-accusations...and list the source of our unwarranted pride(!) as you see it! While attempting to do so, pls don't betray ur ignorance with claims like Mexico is the best country in South America...no, it's in North America! Don't tell us the African Americans have not contributed to the advancement of America, yes they have- and greatly so! Don't tell us that nigeria is the Giant of African or better or richer or otherwise than any other African country...it's very similar to the rest of Africa n poorer than most n more corrupt than most! Keeping the above in mind, tell us what we r so proud about? Why n how r we better than other fellow Africans or humans in general at that...?? Simply put, what is the source of our pride - this pride that is said to come b4 a fall Once someone - anyone provides us with a viable answer for the above, then let someone take a stab at finding out why the rest of the world is going in one direction n Nigeria is heading on the opposite direction of mediocrity n stagnation, k! again this is not an invitation to bone heads to come out n declear their ignorance to the whole world, right.

Obi1kenobi: I’ve observed Nigerians are incredibly arrogant and I’m often left wondering what makes this conceited posturing justifiable. I was reading a thread yesterday enquiring as to why South Africans and Ghanaians hate Nigerians and the predictable response from several delusional people was the usual rhetoric about how everyone envies us and what not. I think many of us have to start appreciating a few home truths:So are you arrogant cos I aint are U?? |

Re: I Hate The Arrogance Of Nigerians!!! by Litmus: 2:16pm On Apr 18, 2012 |
I've noticed that people from different Nations perceive arrogance differently. For example, Nigerians would consider a person Arrogant if that person boasts and struts in a cocky fashion over what he does not have or what he has very little of. So to Nigerians, Ghana people are very arrogant because Ghana people tend to make a lot of noise over what they do not have or what little they have achieved. The English tend to casts people as Arrogant if the people are boastful of what they have achieved. Most Nigerians will tell you plainly what they have achieved and often what they say they have achieved is truly what they have achieved but the English would view this as Arrogant. So far so good. But here comes the dangerous part if you're a black person. In the none black world,there is a tendency, which is in itself arrogant, to label a black peron Arrogant if she or him is not self-effacing,subservient or differing. The term used in America for such black people was Uppity . I believe that it is in this European/American fashion of viewing black people who look White people in the eyes and rub shoulders with them on equal footing that the world view Nigerians as arrogant. Unfortunately black people and Asians, to a certain extent, are informed by the white worldview and Nigerians suffer on account of it. As far as I'm concerned, any black person who calls Nigerians arrogant, that person is a COON. As far as I'm concerned, if you're black person and you're called arrogant by a white or Asian person you're probably doing something right. 1 Like |
