excuse me sir, how did u get the statistics of 85%? is it by perception? this is a public forum and i think that we should be sure of certain claims we make or information we post for public consumption? nigerians are good people. true, we have some bad eggs, but, i doubt if all 85% in diaspora are bad

@ Poster, I do not understand why you choose to be too conservative with figures. I think the correct percentage is in region of 98% or there about. Do not mind them after defrauding the whites, they use the proceed to buy cars and send back home posing as genuine business men. Expose them the more I support you 101%.

Want to View this Topic from another Angle.

85% of Nigerians in the Diaspora definitely can't be Crooks.

Most work like or more than workaholics to survive.(40-45%)

Some very poor that even when they wish to be back home, can't afford the ticket.(10-15%)

Some do legitimate businez and make good money in Millions of Dollars(5-10%)

Some are very corrupt than corruption itself (30%)

May be we should say 30-40% are crooks

But still these are speculations not yet substantiated.
Re: 85% Of Diasporean Nigerians Are Crooks by tpia5: 12:32pm On Oct 28, 2010
so what are we saying here?

that 85% of nigerians abroad arent crooks?

where then do the media and naysayers get their stats from?

after all, if nigerians see nice photos of nigeria somewhere they always insist that's not the true state of the country, and slums, gutters, etc are how 95% of real nigerians live. Therefore shouldnt the same apply to other matters.


and these days to get a visa all you need to do is show up at the embassy, so what's stopping scammers and 419ers from becoming diasporans?

Dude, ure just upset at your situation in life, thats what I see! Deceive urself all u want, your miserable financial situation is killing you and ure upset that those "Fuxcking Yankee Dudes" come home all the time and snatch up all those gals that wont even spit on u even if u paid them to splatter your face with slimy phlegm!!! Crazy talk like yours is not limited to only you, trust me; I've heard similar from my mom's family memebers . . .  . I guess its a "Third World Bitterness" thing! People upset that their nephews was born in the United States instead of under some coconut tree in Buena Ventura.  LMAO!

Dont worry, I bet once your visa application to Tahiti gets approved some of your anger will dissipate. . . . at least u'll get to eat from McDonalds /invisible  i think u ar upset,,,,,,

you're so bitter and almost want to take over the thread as if na only you see am.

are you one of the crooks being discussed or why the matter dey pain you so.
Re: 85% Of Diasporean Nigerians Are Crooks by LeMoor(m): 5:44pm On Oct 28, 2010
Why is this even an issue? OP is probably correct with his 85% figure. If you read what he said, he said he took the figures from the people he knows.

Invisible, all i can tell you is, you need to change the circle you run in. If 85% of the folks you know abroad are crooks, might actually be telling us a lot more about who/where/what you are than it says about Nigerians abroad.

Using the same logic, 85% of Nigerians in Nigeria are crooks, shikena.

I do not see how OP is not correct, let's be real, universities in america have classes on the corruption of nigeria and nigerians, CNN runs special hour long segments about corruption of nigerians in the states, hmm go figure

Another way of putting it is 85% of Nigerians are crooks.
If I think of the policemen who cant help but tax you, the conductor who wants to cheat, the artisan who wants to make a fast buck off you, your neighbour who is planning to rob you, politicians who want to starve you, the producers of pure water who want to dupe you, the list is endless.

Point is corruption and "crookedness" is almost a way of life in Naija. You can almost cut it with a knife!

The yahoo boys, credit card scammers, robbers, drug dealers, forgers, car jackers, hackers, health insurance frausters, assasins and money launderers are all based abroad. They come back and recruit lietenants.
Senator Nnamani is an example of a foreign based imported crook.

First and foremost, Google's pricing is simple: it costs companies $ 8 per user per month to save

their application on Google App Engine, each with a maximum of $ 1,000 apply. Gold for

WOW Gold on Google will also support SQL databases - and

better management capabilities - which drew a cheer the crowd. Amazon is thought the company on

application developers if they want to Buy WOW Gold this type of

service. Google thinks a partnership with VMware, there is an edge, so that Google App Engine

customers of VMware virtualization technology in Aion Gold,

use for their Lotro Goldin a number of different forums, rather

than just within Google services. undecided
