Americans are so good at profiling others of what they themselves are guilty of. Our yahoo boys are learners where they are, talk about hacking, fake credit cards, fake receipts et al were all cons started by their own citizens. They've(Americans) now upgraded to pinching millions in the stock market by cloning while naija boys are pulling credit card scams.

Let's not also forget that up till now America is still exploiting Africa particularly oil producing countries even making Africa a dump site when their stupid innovations get rejected by Asians

I can perceive her hurt from her write up, she's probably been a victim of yahoo boy, cry on baby. 180 million people are also victims of your government's mass exploitation

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 .

I don't defend anything. You need to be in their own society to appreciate what you have. they wrote about Nigerians not training their children and many nonsense. Go to America and you know the meaning Juvenile delinquency. GO to America and see how all of the have turn to nihilists, gays, transgenders, weirdos, suicidals and any evil thing you can think of. High majority of them are addicted to drugs. All the societal ills are very high in the socalled First World countries. You'll appreciate what you have when you see what others have turned into.

You are a very shallow thinker that looks at symptoms. But I'm not a straight like thinker like you. I look at root cause. Nothing happens for nothing. One thing leads to another. Foundation is what matters most. When a bad foundation is laid from the onset, it's very hard for a building and it's component to stand together. Think about it

kpaminose:
Life is not always as straight as you just made it seem. Every society don't deserve the kind of leaders they have. Do you know about imposition and manipulation? Nigerians were great people before the Whites came and introduced some new concepts to us. I appreciate some of the good things they did but in the process they planted some really bad seeds. How they made sure they amalgamated NOrthern and Southern Nigeria despite knowing it will never work to how they made sure power went to the North despite knowing they were least qualified. How they caused division and planted corruption from the foundation of NIgeria. These seeds germinated into some unqualified people ruling over more educated and literate people which gave rise to hatred and animosity. Which later gave birth to crisis and corruption. corruption gave rise to people trying to form new method of adaptation. When the system is bad, humans will naturally try to formulate new ways to adapt. All the problem of NIgeria can be traced to the Europeans. Read the history of Bini and you will see how sadistic the Europeans are. or better still, that of Jaja of Opobo. All blames still lies on the Europeans. Our only fault is our weakness which I agree is a very big offense.

Why won't they say this? Since of these are racists who hate anything that isn't white, but some are saying the truth.

I was attacked in a thread for saying an Igbo woman shouldn't make fake gucci and versace shoes. They were mad at me because to them it is okay to make bootleg items.

With trash like that why wouldn't Nigeria be backward.

That Blogger is a fool. A big fool, I wonder the type of things that comes out of their mouth, so almost 180 million individuals are scammers and all Americans are saints?. The worst is when fellow Nigerians support such trash. Americans have the highest rate of con artist in this world. Ponzi is actually the name of an American investment Banker......imagine the level of scam you must have done for a scam to be named after you. Nigerians are learners where Indians and Russians are when it comes to scam.

I have been scammed by a Macedonian before but that won't make me to label them all as scammers.

Bunch of racist umu ndi ara

What is this one saying

Naimolawale:


Very true, more reason why i keep my bad behavior within my community and not exposing it out to public. When will Nigerians learn. Even the person running this site does not have the best interests of the country at all. In every comment on this forum, it's insult, racist, religious attacks, political attacks, tribal wars nd so on. And yet nothing is done to cub the situation. But he doesn't care because he's making his money. By now his priorities ought to have shift because Nairaland is already famous but causing more damage in the country nd outside.

. @Konfused, God bless you... I just wonder why some funny youths just come here to support some racists comments about us because of the sins of a few... Yes let them try Indians and Russians in scamming or italians in drugs and violence related gang matters... Haba... Nigeria is a country of a 180million persons with 99.9% hardworking and honest individuals who want a government that delivers for them and allow them get on with their lives... I hate it when at the mention of the name NIGERIA, the first thing some fish brained and narrow minded individuals think of is corruption... What a pity

Ugosample:

There his no smoke without fire.
Except you want to live in denial, a good percentage of Nigerians derive joy in scamming
Look at the guiders at mmm; the proliferating of ponzi schemes, exponential increase in young boys nationwide dabbling into fraud, even the idiot on this forum that keeps posting "fixed matches" for sale?

What of the evil "visa agents" that we have, or the nicompoop that advertise that ne can upgrade jamb scores

What of the scammers that say that they do data reselling; or the scammer that says that he will get you redeployed to your state of choice, and then eat the money.
I will not go on and on, but I do not delude myself, scam is rampant in this country

At the risk of sounding unpatriotic, I kinda agree with the Lindsay person and the other Nigerian guy that wrote an epistle. Go to the banks, we can't maintain ordinary queue! On the road n ko? Most people are in a hurry going to nowhere in particular. Even an ordinary sales girl in a small store is looking for a way to steal from her boss' small money!

Not all Nigerians are corrupt, lazy, dubious and inherently bad, but let's be real, an extremely large percentage exhibit the traits. It breaks my heart when I see articles like these where they generalize, but I think it's about time we start changing our orientation as Nigerians. If most people in the world think we are bad, doesn't that show that something is wrong somewhere? The change begins with us as individuals.

Which truth?

That Africans like to sell their birth right for bones for hundreds of years or what?

All these exploiting they do with connivance with our idiot elite, why don't they do same in Middle eastern countries too? Like say Qatar, Saudi or Oman? or UAE?
BP was close to bring kicked out of Abu Dhabi because of a minor thing; that they would have gotten away with here.

A lot of scan foreigners do here is because we have Nigerians who benefit from it.
Look at the government agencies that should check standards? They are all compromised

It's a sad thing to see that in 21st century, Africans still reason this way

Thank you for pointing out that error. I accept the mistake as mine.

The Nigerians who agree with this post are the idiots amongst us who always want to believe Nigeria has it worst in all ramifications.. a random survey is using the commentators here as models for statistics, how many of us here are scammers?.. what percentage are scammers?.. yet you are okay with a nuisance calling your people scammers.. so all those people at oshodi every morning are going to where they will scam someone on the internet too... Have you been to America where they sell you fake insurance, do you ever wonder why americans habe cancer all the time and which country's citizen is benefitting from the huge medical bills?.. this credit card scams they talk about are openly bought on the internet from American and egyptian hackers yet its 180 million Nigerians that are all scammers... Have u ever seen a Nigerian hacker as good as the russian and egyptian hackers?.. you said all Nigerians are scammers have you met indians on the internet?.. the royal prince wanting to get an inheritance scam is done mostly by kenyans and still you want to agree with a white fool that all your people are scammers... They there they seek validation from a ehite man you are better than because you have the i dea that everything from your country is the baddest

Will shut up your thrash?

Just look at many threads on Nairaland and see how evil perpetrated are being supported on regular basis. The sad thing is most kids/youth visit this site and accept that these bad things are the norms when they see a lot of people supporting the acts.

Were you living in the cave when a case of some secondary boys raping a young girl while their other friends on the sideline cheer them up as well as adult around the place doing nothing but videoing the acts instead of interfering until a woman eventually came to the rescue of the girl? Is that one a society?

A society that supports looters and corruption? A society that supports domestic violence? A society that supports sexual assault, paedophilia and other nonsense? A society that supports malpractices in every form?

You better shut up your thrash if you have nothing to say than to pour out stupid excuses from your end. Our duty is to condemn such acts and let's try to salvage the country if it can still be saved.

thawgy:
maybe u are an idiot, i dont know but i know that u lack understanding.. we are not the best yeah but neither are we the worst.. will we say Nigeria of 180 million people are scammers when we have less than 500,000 people in the trade.. they there dey allow white man tarnish ur image, u hear rape every where in India and have you ever come out to call indians with over a billion people rapist country?.. you came here simply to throw insults without logic meanwhile exposing the fact that you are a daft fellow.. if you eant a holy country you can go and start your own country somewhere isolate

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!
