Kim Kardashian went to Nigeria to promote a party. Stop, we can feel your eye roll from here. That said, we were wondering what her reception was like and (surprise?) it appears Nigerians dislike Kardashian as much as most Americans do—but for completely different reasons. The reason Kardashian was there was that she was co-hosting something called the "Love ... Like a Movie" event with an R&B singer who isn't as famous her—and she stayed all of 45 minutes. With that, we present how well her visit went over in Nigeria and African media: Never mind that there are rumors of that Kardashian was paid $500,000, at least one Nigerian newspaper sees Kim as the sign that Nigeria is a draw for the rich and famous.

Kim Kardashian Is Scamming Nigerian Scammers

"As the disgruntled tweets flowed out on my timeline, I thought of Special K, comfy in her jimjams, the plane rising gradually above the Atlantic, safe from all Lagos harm, smiling to herself that she’d actually 419’d the 419ers," writes Jeremy Weate for the Africa Is a Country blog. There's a tad bit of explaining here. The 419ers he's referring to is the slang for the Internet scammers from Nigeria who send us all those emails with elaborate stories that promise us riches for just a little cooperation (and money). By getting paid a ton of money but only staying at the event for a little while, Kardashian had pulled off a bit of a scam herself:


Who Is Kim Kardashian?

Is she a reality show freak? An A-list celebrity? Perhaps the most knowing Kim Kardashian responses were the trolls on the Nairaland Forum—which sort of seems like a Nigerian version of Reddit, where they played a simple game of "Who Is Kim Kardashian?"

Apparently, she "419'd the 419-ers". and Nairaland was quoted in the article.

Amazing!!!
Lol @ 419-ed the 419ers
Chei!!!!!! Naija don suffer no be small
I don't know wether to laugh or cry


"So essentially, Kardashian swindled the people wealthy enough and dumb enough to spend a lot of money on tickets to see her, the way Weate believes wealthy Nigerians have screwed the poor."

Nigeria Is Not Impressed by Kim Kardashian

Ever wonder what our nation looks like to folks from afar? In this feature, Home News From Afar, we look at how a uniquely American story--the kind of news we have trouble explaining even to ourselves--is being told overseas.

Kim Kardashian Is a Lot That's Wrong American Morals

The rumour was that she’d been paid 500,000 Benjamins for the honour of mixing with the petro-class. She arrived on Saturday evening (on Air France), and left within twenty-four hours (someone Instagrammed her back at MMIA). Prole class tickets were apparently N100,000 ($640), although quite a few got in gratis on the guest list.So essentially, Kardashian swindled the people wealthy enough and dumb enough to spend a lot of money on tickets to see her, the way Weate believes wealthy Nigerians have screwed the poor.

Kim Kardashian Is Why Nigeria Needs to Foster Homegrown Talent
... Why waste so much fund in bringing the almighty Kim K to Nigeria when we have better, finner, sexier, funnier and more intelligent celebs here? Was she worth the money spent in shipping her to Naija? I seriously doubt. SMH...anyway as soon as I can lay my hands on more pics, I 'll definitely post them.
