Much ado about nothing. Africa is unimportant to the West, why would they want to know about u? The inferior is the one that knows about the superior and not the other way round. We all know America, UK, Dollars, Pounds etc. How many of them know the naira? Abeg get real, we don't have any thing to offer them. We all know Dangote and Adenuga but do they know us? No, because we are irrelevant to them. |

A-town: True, I never knew anything bout the island apart from the bar beach until after my secondary school and I knew islanders who have never been to the mainland till after their secondary school. Fast forward to the UK, I have friends from Manchester that the farthest they have gone south in England is Birmingham. They have never been to London and these are men and women in their late 20's to early 30's. If I don't have any business doing in Azerbaijan, why would I want to know what language they speak or whether It's located in Europe or Asia. |

dayokanu: You need to watch a nollywood movie called "white hunters" on youtube. Very irritating movie, Indians were used as white men in that movie. An average naija sees no difference. |

Tolaaaaannni: Lol @ op eehya, pele o. Are you an F.O.B (Another word for JJC)? If yes, you will soon get use to it. I can remember the first time when I got one of this kind of ignorant question. I was shocked at first, but then like i have always done I came up with a witty comment from the top of my head. This shizz got me laffing like a jackal.  Yes, I'm still a JJC. |

If only you guys know how big America is, there are some really remote parts of America where some people are born live and die, a community of about 200 people. Shut off from the world, I heard of an American who's dream was to visit New York, but never saved enough t. Fare |

Well, an average American does not give a hoot about life outside USA. Not that they need to anyways. Most of them do not even have international passport(s). You can laugh at the ignorant lady all you want, but I bet she does not give a rat's a_s. |

MzFancy: Oga-ade pack well I see no biggie in what happend,so dyu wannaa tell me u knw all d countries and states,tke for example Asia!?it just luks weird cos u from nigeria.Local Wannabe Boisorry it had nothing to do with wanting to be or as u put it. 4give me, if I offended u with my comment. I didnt expect him to know all the countries of the world but to call Africa a countries twice after I had corrected him was a little too much 4 me. Or pls tell me, when has it being a problem to share a story that one relates to. I see u don't have anything better doing so u come here this early looking 4 someone 2 insult, just like many people do here on NL. I can understand if u don't have anything 2 share, but pls try to resist the urge to insult people that do have something to share regardless of if their story is weird. I don't even know why I am lecturing u now, I realy think its a waste of my time. I'll return to work. 1 Like |

Well let me quote a line from a movie i watched.... Do you has a man care about the life of an insect, why then do you think that we (gods) would care about about the life of men.. My point here is simply this, They believe they are the world super power and the greatest nation in the world and as such think all other nations are beneath them ....so they really don't think there is much to learn outside their borders. Secondly their media feeds them with what they want them to know and think........Its really not the fault of the average American, they are simple casualties/products of their society...JUST MY BIT, I MIGHT BE WRONG THOUGH 1 Like |

mayorteeny: TJ Mz, chill now. Mrs Chima & 'Omo to dun' started the name calling. No one enjoys his/her ego being trampled on nor derided. For one, the theme of the post was not what brought about the conversation but people started carving him that he attracted his likes. Therefore, we shouldn't talk to the so-called dredges of the society. I personally fault their response but then, for my pocket! Secondly, I guess what surprised Pdude was the fact that this lady is a scholar - a representative of an average American (the purported advanced man), as against the Primitives ( the inhabitants of hinterlands e.g the West Indies & the remote Central America). She ought to know. Despite our landmass size (which even is still not too small to be considered negligible), I guessed there's been a lot of ample events which had put the country on 'hotspot' enough to spur an average scholar to know about the country. I don't consider myself hot or brainy but I know small about the world, which a self-acclaimed advanced human being should. Meanwhile, her reported spoken English was even poor which most of us didn't spot from the written conversation. But I, for a person, don't care. In as much as I understand your message, no issues. How you dey? You just left your homecow like that! God dey ooo! @ OP, dem plenty die! And they abound everywhere. I remember a beauty pageant where a drop-dead gorgeous chick like that was asked who the Nigerian 1st president was, & guessed what she said? - Mr Sani Abacha! My informally learned grannie almost broke her neck from laughter. Goodmorning peeps!! |

InvertedHammer: Well, an average American does not give a hoot about life outside USA. Not that they need to anyways. My brother, they should care ooo. A measure of pride is essential for a normal human being & whither is thy pride without knowledge & no shame for thine aknowledgia? May be I personally do take an exceptional joy & pride in knowledge. I remembered vividly an encounter I had with a notable female personality (a striking beauty & a lawyer). She introduced herself & capped it all that she's from the home of River Zambezi. I replied she must be from Zambia. She nodded in a 'hell, no way!' manner. I blurted out Malawi. She nodded in disagreement. I again, in madcow persistence, replied Rhodesia. She scowled! Then I said Republic of Congo. She started shaking head. I then in my hapless down-to-earth resignation with added shame, surrendered saying 'your humbled & shamed servant knowest not'. Nna!!!, I was shamed for real that day. I felt I let down myself, my family & my country. I had poor sleep. Why?, because I felt as an average human being who is defined by knowledge, I failed. May be I did over-react but there are some things we should know & if we don't know, we should not take pride in ignorance for not knowing. NB : Trust me, as soon as they left, I grabbed my Encarta. I discovered that I even try small because the said river passes through 4 countries before emptying its content into the Indian Ocean. 2 Likes |

LMAO@me started the name calling for saying the chick was broke and dumb! America don suffer even if millions of people travel to America every year. |

It is sad people are giving excuses for the lady's failure to set things straight. It doesn't require traveling to know something about another country or continent. The worse in this case is that the lady didn't exhibit any sign of intelligent rather keep fooling herself just to guess right. She could have asked questions or admitted her poor geography education - there is nothing actually wrong about any of those. I am a little disturbed by the excuses people are trying to give here in support of her failure. If it were to be an African they would take it on the ground of primitiveness and stupidity, not ignorance. She really goofed! 2 Likes |

A-town:True. I met one online some weeks back. She said she is a student at LASU. We got talking she asked where I am. I told her I live in Onitsha. She asked where is Onitsha located. I told her Osha is in Anambra state. Can you believe she asked me where is Anambra state.WTF. I can understand if she do not know Onitsha but Anambra state. Common.

Didn't Sarah Palin, US vice presidential canditate in 2008 say that she can see Russia from her house. Or that Africa is a country, Not all of them are briliant. I do business with some white people (Britons precisely), you would be amazed how they construct their own English language and their level of comprehension. 1 Like |

I know a lot of Yoruba people refer to Anyone whose name doesnt sound Yoruba or Hausa as Ibo. Friends from Benue, Edo, Kogi, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers etc have been referred to as Ibos by a lot of Yorubas Ignorance is in every society even more common among us in Nigeria |

MOBBDEEP: My chairman I see you. pDude committed an ecological fallacy by his lame attempt to label all graduates of nigerian institutions philistines. Even if me i no sabi book i know say your erudite self na near genius. Anyway he has admitted he is a JJC in the States. May i point out that your sagacious self is also guilty of that transgression?. The average american is far from being 'advanced' or being a 'scholar' in the true definition of the word. |

when you are on top you dont need to know about those on the bottom - thats how the majority of americans reason - they have everything they need in their country therefore they couldnt care less about anywhere else in the world especially if that place is black africa (some of them do go on vacation to egypt and south africa) they get all the information they feel they need from fox , cnn, abc and nbc and if they really want to be adventurous - national geographic where they see africans walking around half nak.ed carrying spears and wearing grass skirts and bones in their noses, so why do they need to stretch themselves any further for information about a part of the world that no-one in the western world gives a fck about? the only time they will become acquainted with places like nigeria is when america decides to drop a bomb on it or deploy africom there to raze it to the ground in order to get rid of an evil dictator. |
