From this write up i supposed,the man in question have seen for himself the friendly atmosphere here in Nigeria. No country is without the bad edge but its high time we stop giving a bad image of our dear country or over emphasizing on the bad areas.else foreigners will be hurling insult to our dear country.on this note we must accept the fact that no place is like home.love people,loveAfrica,love Nigeria.

@op, i think your caption is actually the opposite of Hayward impression. In as much as there are bad examples in Nigeria as well as elsewhere in the world. He was pleasantly surprised at the level of hospitality he received and his preconceived impression erased.

Obviously, most of you guys did not read the article.
SUMMARY FOR DUMMIES:
The oyinbo was mis-informed about Nigeria being a bad country, when he got here, he realized that it isn't as bad as he was informed.

This just proves that some people just read the title of a thread and go straight to posting comments.

@OP and MOD, please save yourselves the embarrassment and properly caption this thread.

@topic, am I the only one that is enjoying this Brit's narrative style?

The guy wrote that caption to get the attention of people who can not see anything good in Nigeria. I hoped that the thread would get to the front page because I wanted to see how many people will comment without reading the article. I was not disappointed. smiley

A lot of people did not even bother reading the article before commenting? That's actually very silly of you.

The title may "sound" misleading but you will notice that it is in quote which suggests that you SHOULD not conclude based on just the title.

This man seemed to have enjoyed his stay in Nigeria. Just like most white people do (except those unfortunate enough to get kidnapped). It is unfortunate though that most residents don't get to enjoy Nigeria the same way foreigners do.

The dumb Op or Mod should change the title na, totally misleading
Re: "Nigeria Is A Country Of Kidnappers & Corrupt Politicians” – David Hayward by naptu2: 2:24pm On Sep 17, 2013
The title reflects the advice he got.

The advice fell into two camps:
a) Don’t go, you’ll get kidnapped or catch malaria. Either way, you’re going to die

b) Nigeria is a nightmare. When you arrive, you’ll be swamped by hustlers trying to rip you off, steal your luggage and all your money. If they don’t get you, the corrupt police officers and officials will.

MOD's Please for the sake of your credibility I advice that you change the title of this thread. This article has gone relatively viral. I personally have read it in other newspapers and websites. The title of the article is in contradiction to its content and I think that is an irresponsible misrepresentation.
Re: "Nigeria Is A Country Of Kidnappers & Corrupt Politicians” – David Hayward by naptu2: 2:27pm On Sep 17, 2013
I hope that they do not change the title. The title is appropriate.

Someone might do a google search about Nigeria and this headline pops up, not everyone will have the time to read further, what image of Nigeria will such a person have? Remember Nairaland has a very strong Google presence. The title should be changed!

Anybody who does that is already dumb and I don't think anything will be able to cure the person's problems.

just like this poster above me, 90% of the people that commented on this thread didn't read it. Why is it so difficult for Nigerian youths to read? Nawa oo. Oga go back and read the thread again..... The title is slightly 'paradoxical' to ignite your curiosity and get your attention.

When journalists caption stories, they do so in order to grab the reader's attention at the shortest possible time, hence the writer's caption. I'm sure the caption was what drove most of us to this thread, expecting to read gory tales about Nigeria but we were spectacularly disappointed.

Its a very good technique, obviously.


PS: Some people commenting didn't bother to read the full article.

The briton man spoke well about nigeria, but he didn,t come up with a good topic about nigeria. Because not every nigerians are kidnappers and not all politician are corrupt.
