Shameless individuals transferring their hate to the president rather than admitting the increasing shame and bad name their criminal Blodas are giving to this country - oh, I forgot; they are not Nigerians but Biafrans.

I just don't know how to make Nigerians see how stupid it is going around talking about people given us bad name. What the Bleep does that mean? Wake up morons Nigeria is nation not a small boy looking to please some adult by appealing to their good side. And this is being kind, if truth be said we are being really Coonish. Nigeria ows no one any fucking apologies!!! We still would not owe anyone any apologies if every freaking Nigerian abroad was a crook!!!

Do you people know how difficult it has been for black pressure groups to get any form of apologies from white Nations that participated in the slave trade, which resulted in the deaths of millions of African people and today's ongoing backwardsness and humiliation? Has South Africa apologiesd ones publicly to Nigeria for the murder of Nigerians by babarick South Africans? Has Italy appologised for Mafia crimes in the America, has Russia or any Eastern European nation appologised for cyba Crimes?

No freaking Nigerian is giving Nigeria any freaking bad name!!. What fucking bad name to whom on behalf of what Aaaashh; how stupid. In fact the nearest anyone comes to bad name giving is when moronic numbskulls talk of 'they are given us bad name' the president is given us bad name, going about toadying to the world apologising for his stupidity and not recognising that they laugh at him behind his back for such childishness.

Youthleader22:
The question I keep asking myself is what name and image is Nigeria protecting? The image of corruption by the government or bad roads, insecurity, poor power supply. Everything bad that has been eliminated by even smaller nations is what Nigeria is fighting for. A country that still celebrates road construction. Shameless leaders. You people are the ones giving the underdeveloped country a bad name and not the youths thriving abroad because of the problems in their country.
You will live long..
The president and his team keep talking what they no nothing about

How are we failing the most elementary lessons in the art of navigating life?

Lest say you have a gang of kids, in a rundown neighborhood, that specialise in robbing supermarkets and the gang members are 3 Croatians, 3 Romanians, 2 Cameroonians and 1 Nigerian. The gang members are juveniles so that whenever they are cought they are usually only given stern warnings. They however have built up a reputation for criminality, with people in the neighborhood often talking of how those kids would never amount to much in life. In other words, so far, they are known and thought of collectively as bad kids in the neighborhood. If however, the Nigerian parents of the one Nigerian in the gang, being well meaning people with good values that happen to have had thire child corrupted by virtue of living in the rundown neighborhood, then went about apologising to people in the neighborhood for the behaviour of thire child, the result will be that very soon thire child will become the face of the gang. He'll be the Nigerian one, he'll become a reference point....

Thank you my brother, you too know book!

International relations and diplomacy is one of our biggest problem as a Nation. Why do we always need to apologize to the world? Or blame it on other ethnic groups? Why

For every one bad news about Nigerians, we need to go out there and search for the fact. Most countries just blame Nigerians for crimes committed by other Africans, this has got to stop.

We should learn to celebrate our country's achievements nationally and globally rather that dragging it down. Nigerians are presently doing a whole lot in impacting the world positively, far more than any other African country and most European countries. Most of these never make it to the pages of international papers. Only the negatives

Every country has its bad citizens.

Buhari is very stupid for saying that....very very stupid.
Re: Buhari – Few Nigerians Abroad Are Giving Us Bad Name By Engaging In Crime by Litmus: 12:22pm On Aug 31, 2019
Two points:

Point 1, Leading On.

Nations have always existed in the world in a competitive reality. This has worsened because of the addition of globalization. You have now young people, companies, business, professionals and so on able to compete for jobs across state boundaries. What a nation should not do is provide competitors with the excuse or advantage they need over your product. I use the term products here to cover human as well as the other inanimate resources such as businesses and industries. One of the ways in which Nigeria disadvantages her products in the competitive international market is by "Leading On" for want of a better term. In boxing parlance this would be called Telegraphing. Although telegraphing doesn't quite match what I mean. Let me give an example. I just read an article by someone that may be a Nigerian ( will find and post link). This writer is obviously influential so his article is going to be widely read around the world. He wrote outlining how and why the FBI fraud indictment of those Nigerians damages Nigeria. He wrote on how Nigerians are now going to have more Nations apply tougher Visa restrictions on them. He made staments on how there are no longer going to be sectional opinions about Nigerians since the minds behind these recent scams are well educated Nigerians and not just barely literate Yahoo type boys. He mate staments on how international firms are not going to want to employ Nigerian graduates. And made statements on how Nigeria is going to become s paraya state. Imagine the stupidity. Now this writer is not the only Nigerian who has written articles along these lines. In fact, and this is the crucial point, all articles, statements of this sort habeb been by "Nigerians'. The West were not thinking along such lines, (evident by there being no similar output by them) but now they are because these so called Nigerians put it in their heads. If or when the president of Nigeria makes comments that endorses this line of thinking, the point is crystallised.

Point 2, Racism.

Nigerians are not sufficiently awear of the social politics of Racism. This is both a good and bad thing. It is good when because Nigerians are not fully aware of racism, it enables them to strive for success unburdened by self doubt. it is good because Nigerians are inadvertently changing the world by going out and doing things in the same terms as other races. It forces others to come to terms with black people as normal humans living in the world with same expectations. In another sense Nigerians are just what the world needed. Where it is a disadvantage for Nigerians not understanding Racism, and relevant to this discussion, is when Nigerians fail to factor it in when dealing with the outside world. Nigerians do not understand or underestimate just how ingrained it is outside Nigeria in the West. Nigerians do not understand just how woven into the fabric of Western society racism is. The West lives and breathes racism, it is a philosophy, ideology, indeed a culture. So when those Nigerians write and say XY and Z Western Nation dose this to Nigerians because Nigerians did A,B and C, the don't factor in Racism. And they don't factor in how what they say will be seen or and taking by the West as a clue of just what they can get away with doing to Nigerians since Nigerians expect some penalty where none was going to be forthcoming because of laws and fears of being accused of Racism. But now Nigerians have given us the excuse we need to disadvantage them. They expect this so we will do it to them.

In short, what the writer, to whom the link above leads, has done, is not explained what has happened to Nigeria and Nigerians, he is, by theorising, in effect telling the world what to do to Nigeria and Nigerians and providing alibies.
