Drama at Transcorp Hilton Hotel as Greece envoy, Wife label Nigerians thieves
The Greece ambassador in Nigeria, Mr. Haris Dafaranos and his wife, Haralambo, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, on Friday evening, labelled Nigerians thieves.
The couple were at the reception of the luxurious hotel when the wife found a wrist watch belonging to a customer of the hotel, Mr. Notore Kolagbodi, who had apparently forgotten it while checking out. The security personnel on duty at the reception then requested for the wrist watch to be kept for the owner but the woman would not entertain any such intervention from the personnel. Her reason for refusal, according to an eye witness, was that Nigerians are habitual thieves and so she could not trust the security people to hand it over to the owner. Even the intervention of the security manager on duty and several other guests could not persuade the ambassador’s wife to part with the wrist watch. While the altercation was going on, the owner, Mr. Kolagbodi, returned and wanted to claim his wrist watch but the ambassador’s wife stood her ground, saying that the claimant must show her proof of ownership before she could give it to him. At this stage, an uproar ensued as many exasperated Nigerians who had listened to the exchanges began to express anger at the affront of the woman who continually insisted that Nigerians are thieves. Sources quoted the husband as saying: “Nigerians are thieves. Can anyone of them deny that fact? What is the assurance that you guys did not connive to bring this fellow as the rightful owner of the wrist watch?” There was an exchange of hot words but eventually the woman was persuaded to hand over the wrist watch to the owner while the Nigerians present wondered why an ambassador and his wife could be so undiplomatic in their utterances. Greece and Nigeria enjoy close ties since Greece’ establishment of diplomatic mission in Nigeria in 1970 though trade between the two countries is imbalanced, with imports from Greece to Nigeria exceeding exports. Greek-owned tankers have an important role in shipping Nigerian oil and natural gas, its main exports. Recently, a Greek tanker was involved a dispute over crude oil smuggling. On March 25, 2009, Dafaranos stated that Greece will continue to explore new areas of co-operation and boost cultural, economic, scientific and technological ties with Nigeria. grin

Most of those emails are not sent from nigeria . . . its mostly from european countries
Re: Nigerians Are Thieves by mccloud224(m): 10:42pm On Jul 14, 2009
What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't allow these foreigners to keep down grading us like that and getting away with it.If this had happened in the US,France or even Korea, do you think they would have let the matter lie low?I don't think so.They would have apologized,promised to uncover the crime BUT he must take back his comments and apologize to the people of that country.Na so dem dey do am.As it, he was labeled the country as a whole as thieves (even if the whole country na thief, e no give dem right to yan dust.Are his people the most law abiding citizens in the world?)

Its the noobs that still do this from nigeria. . .
This whole AFF has been invented since the early 1980's. Nigerians based in nigeria doing this scam is nothing compared to whats going on in europe. How many internet connections did nigerians have before year 2000?
Pls just google and get more info on dis.
I never wrote anywhere that nigerians don't send the emails, all i wrote was that most of the emails are sent from europe
Re: Nigerians Are Thieves by Nobody: 5:44pm On Jul 21, 2009
she's entitled to her opinion.

She can call Nigerians whatever she likes- most of them (especially the males) wont mind as long as she provides them one of her countrywomen to date.
Re: Nigerians Are Thieves by Bastage: 7:03pm On Jul 21, 2009
Oh boy, I am laughing so hard.

The majority of Yahoo boys are European white kids?

The jails there must be full of them.
Re: Nigerians Are Thieves by IFELEKE(m): 12:18pm On Jul 22, 2009
It's not only about calling us thieves, these foreigners ridicule us in other worse ways.
Imagine the less than human treatment asians give to nigerians who work for them right here in our country.
What about the treatment we get in embassies and airports here and outside.
@Topic
We should take the blame for the insults we get.!
