What makes someone "Oyinbo" in Nigeria? Skin color?
This picture shows an Hispanic man, named Ramirez. He's most likely of a Mexican decent.
Most people like him do menial jobs in the US. You find them cutting people's grasses, working in kitchens at restaurants and working in plantations. So, what exactly makes him "Oyinbo" in Nigeria if not that his skin color is lighter than most Nigerians?

@bolded,

That's a form of stereotyping bro, you need to be mindful of your choice of words when referring to other groups or races.

There are also hispanics in high places in the US, we have them as doctors, engineers, lawyers, IT professionals, even in the US Congress & Supreme court.

So what are you all about?

No mind am..

Bro, not everybody on NL live in Nigeria.
I live in the US and I have first hand information.

My brother tell them o!.

The only countries that are Oyibo people are Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, USA and Canada. I can go as far as including all western Europe and Scandinavian countries. In fact, the name ''Oyibo'' is a name our ancestors used to call white people who came to Africa for slave trade, and also colonialists.

The other day, I was talking to someone and he told me a lady was married to a white man, and just as we were chatting the man drove in, and when he came out of the car he was a Pakistan man!. I just shook my head and asked him ''is this the person you call white man?''.

Lol. So, Pakistan man na Oyinbo for Naija too? Soon, Chinese and Indians self go become Oyibo. SMH.

I'm not being stereotypical in any way. You're correct there are Hispanics in high places too. That's why I didn't say ALL Hispanics do menial jobs. Look at the statistics and tell me I'm incorrect for saying MOST do menial jobs.

That's not intended to be ride in any way, these are jobs that someone has to do any ways, and I admire their guts for being so hardworking vs some that don't like to work at all.
Why I spoke up was because Hispanics are called 'Oyinbo' in Nigeria, which I think is weird.

@bolded,

every other skin colour apart from black is oyinbo to the average nigerian, even tunisians are oyinbo too in their eyes.

The American embassy could assist him with providing legal services, and the US government could also seek his extradition to be tried in the US under the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act".

However, I won't bet against the EFCC securing a conviction against this man.
