Siga: ....Bro...docs need to be verified...banks need to be called...all these take time....if u apply here or any trusted country...no one calls any bank...I remembered when I applied for US visa when I was on work permit (after study)...no one called any bank...even when I sent an invitation for someone in Naija....no one called my bank here nor my broker...so...believe it or not...Canada no trust Naija documents...plus..our boys go come here dey do fraud and mess up all our reputation....

Honestly, the Nigerians that go out and drag our country's name into the mud are part of the whole problem. that being said, our presido who gives amnesty to an international fugitive and corrupt ex gov who happens to be his godfather isn't helping us at all. The world is smaller now. The rest of the world is well informed on what is happening here, the same way we watch them too.

Its really sad.

I currently came across a paypal customer forum titled NIGERIAN SCAM MAILS. this was a thread dedicated to informing users of paypal of scam mails for NIGERIA. Guess how many replies i saw there? 4900+ with different poeple posting various examples of mails from Nigeria. On there i saw several Nigerian addresses and names which really made me feel bad. Imagine the negative publicity we are getting at the moment as a result of that..

Unlike the 90's, the world is different now. A single thread/ headline / news is propagated almost 1000x faster than before with far more wider reach. Even those in eastern europe have access to such bad publicity.

These are some of the reasons why it is hard for lots of our people to get visa . . . Cos which country in the right senses will wanna give visa to nationals that they would have to teach how to speak and write english?

....It will...thats why anyone I come across in Canada, I always ensure to make good impression...to the point one silly oyinbo told me he couldnt believe I am a Nigerian...imagine...a friend of mine that works as one of the Investments Managers of a billionaire for Canada had to prove himself and the man called him...telling him he took a gamble about him, people warned him not to hire him...but he took his friends advise (the guy who referred my friend) and never regretted it....that he is a different Nigerian...so...if we all can do our part...bit by bit...they will know every country has good and bad people....its not a Nigerian thing.....

As per ur books....from Yankee right?

Honestly i kinda hope i would have the opportunity to change the bad impression on a larger scale. Cannot imagine someone being prejudicial to me just because i am Nigerian.....unfortunately it is virtually inevitable.

Unfortunately, if you register an account on PayPal, in the nationality column, Nigeria is omitted. We keep giving ourselves bad reputation day in day out.

USA population = 300m : 3weeks
India =600m :6 weeks
China =1b :4 weeks
Nigeria = 150m : 18 weeks

Corruption is the answer.

India is 1.2bn
Chins is 1.6bn
