If you are a Nigerian, which i doubt you are then you are a criminal. Simple logic.
How can somebody classify a nation as criminals because a couple of people committed criminal acts.?
My message is clear.

Of course not every Nigerian is a criminal

I know Ted Cruz very well. He is cocky basttard who think he's smarter than a 5th grader.

If anyone of you is waiting on him for a direct, proper or open apology haha good luck waiting.

That was just a lame attempt of stupid not so funny joke from him. He should leave that to Leno. Earlier this year on Leno, she said I quote "American economy is so bad that Nigerian scammers don't send us emails anymore" ok we get that kinda joke especially coming from a real comedian.

Don't be stewpid there are actually more American scammers in the whole world but US will never talkl about it or make it obvious. We Nigerians are the stewpid ones to quickly wash our dirty linens in the public without shame.

It is always amusing how offended we get when others do to us what we do to each other all the time. Everyday on nairaland people make generalisations about each other's tribe. You hear things like this tribe is lazy and that one is full of kidnappers, blah blah blah because of the actions of a few. So why do we expect outsiders to think any different of us? The Senator is guilty of what majority of us are, judging a group based on the actions of a few.

This man would have long apologized if it were another national with worst criminal past, but hey! Since Nigerians are not brother's keepers, an a..hole senator who may have corruption as his family name will keep calling us out.

This must not die, pressure should be on him to eat his words, so others can learn to respect Nigeria

TheBookWorm: Of course Nigerian-Americans will want an apology. We believe in the American system and simply wish to be treated fairly and not generalized. Unlike some Nigerians back in Nigeria, we do not tolerate ridicule of our community from our elected officials. This is what it means to live in a progressive country like the US. The weak are able to speak their mind freely, and the strong have to listen. I know this may be a new concept to some of you, but the collective Nigerian community in the US has spoken.

cool

GustavoFring: Like I said before,

Where were these Holier-than-thou Nigerians when Olu Maintain was singing Yahoozee at Africa Rising in 2008?

Did they complain when Olu Maintain chose to glorify 419 scams at an event that had eminent world leaders in attendance?

Did they retort when Colin Powell was dancing to Yahoozee tunes?

These gaddem hypocrites wont let us hear word now....as if a lot of them in that Texas are not internet scammers anyway undecided

Shior!!

Use ur dictionary to look for these words:
Intention and Context.
Olu Maintain/Colin Power never intended to malign/insult hard working Nigerians, but Cruz was tactful in his message.. Nigerians are scammers and President Obama " comes" from that part of the world.. Black Africa. link POTUS and u get the picture!

Where is the apology?

Why don't you sit up and take a look as to how things are done, how things work, when people are proactive. A senator was insultive and progressive Nigerians will not tolerate such. Nigerian outrage has reached CNN, the Huffington Post, MSNBC, etc. Local news, national news, and international news. The Nigerian Ambassador to the USA has made his own statement. A public apology must come for his public abuse.
Stop your rants. The Senator spoke the truth.



You are not more patriotic than me. Hypocrite

Do you know how many Americans commit frauds? Maddorf stole over 50 billion us dollars. George Bush lied that he was sure there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The softwares used for frauds, are they programmed by Nigerians.Do you know how many top hackers are Americans.

American bankers wrecked the World's economy. Do we go about calling Americans bad names. There are more scammers in America than Naija. We are just labeled bad because we are behind in technology.

Those kind of misguided words coming from a senator is very wrong. It is not about patriotism but right and wrong.

By the way, China has over 300 million active users online. Do you think even one percent of them don't scam? That is 3 million scammers. Why aren't we screaming Chinese are scammers?

It is a pity that a 'white pig' will use such a word on a country of over 160 million. May be, there is no scammer in the US. The joke is very expensive that hardly will one be able to retrive it.
