Until you go to her country as a Nigerian and hunted down by a group of supremacist who want to kill you just for being African.

Nigerians are too welcoming and that's a sign of gulliblity.

Our white loving blacks only see beauty and innocence in whites but trust me , Europeans have been and are still trying to genocide the black races.
Be sceptical about Europeans...

During the reprisal attacks Nigerians were attacking Whites and Asians, you think we truly like Whites? think again

From the way Nigerians reason it will only take a few whites to recolonize them. Gullible, unaware, they will literally hand over all the resources whilst enchanted by whites, even though they the whites have shown for centuries that they don't consider blacks human.

I just don't get it, sometimes I wonder why my mindset is different and why I see white people for what they are.

Maybe it's because I've lived with them for so long and understand their psychology.

Once again be careful of Europeans they are the most selfish , pretentious , barbaric elements nature put on earth.
Two words brainwashing and white Jesus. Nigerians should visit Serbia and see how much of a welcome you get.

All these are unnecessary, every countries have their problems, but a little higher in Nigeria,but that do not say you should be badmouthing your country as if others are flawless.

That's why white people always surprise when ever they visited this country because the likes of you have fed him/her with lot of abnormalities as if it wasn't in his/her country.

It is a general knowledge that countries outside of the African continent receive very biased, skewed and limited information; and therefore, have inadequate knowledge about what life is really like here. The western world is fed with images of poverty, epidemics, crime, underdevelopment and just a glance of beautiful Safaris and animals.


When I decided to relocate to Nigeria, the unpleasant images dominated my expectation. To my greatest surprise, Nigeria demystified those stereotypes. The beauty of its complexity and diversity is enchanting and breathtaking. Nigeria has it all! Living here is akin to exploring several countries at once.

There is nothing you can’t find in Nigeria! From the ancient tribes living in huts to the lavish modern houses, the fanciest cars, the highest levels of education…Nigeria is endowed with mountains, beaches, rainforest, desert, amazing nature, and diverse people; Creative youths, the most beautiful fashion, nightlife, culture, incredible arts…Nigeria has it all! Nigeria is a country of contrasts.

I must confess that I was amazed at my first arrival in the capital, Abuja; what a beautiful city! It really is no different than any European capital or city in the United States of America. It is a place with opportunity for all. I am amazed to see how people from every part of Nigeria, ranging from different States, cultures, tribes, religions live in peace and harmony. I was also surprised that the city donned with so many architectural styles that you get overwhelmed with a feeling of traversing several continents at once. I learned that previous governments contracted western and local companies to design and develop the Abuja; Asians, Turkish, American and other nationalities equally contributed towards the creation of this first-class city.

My initial plan was to stay in Nigeria for a year, but I quickly became “trapped” by Nigerian “magic”. The stories of Nigerian history, tribes, culture, beliefs and languages lured and enticed me. The beautiful nature, amazing arts, and creativity have become a part of me. In Abuja, I get to enjoy arts, theatre, fashion shows, supermarkets, dining, and business but also still be part of Nigerian culture, traditions, and history.

What I definitely love the most about Nigeria are the people! Happy Nigerian people! The people are welcoming and have accepted me as their own and are always happy to help, chat, work with and interact with me. In their usual hospitable nature, they have given me a Nigerian name, a title and taught me everything about their customs and traditions. The resilient Nigerian people, who no matter what happen in their country, remain strong, positive, faithful and happy. The strength and resilience of Nigerian people are immeasurable; their tenacious belief is so fascinating that they can certainly teach other nationalities a thing or two about persistence.

I am often asked why I love Nigeria. How is one supposed to answer that question? It is just like being asked why you love your husband, or mother or a best friend. All the things we love have faults, but we love them despite. We see something in them that others don’t. We love the way they make us feel. I love the smell of Nigeria. I can’t explain the smell, but I know I love it. I love how green it is and all the incredible, unknown sorts of trees and plants that grow here despite the intense heat during the dry season. I love the laugh of its people, their songs and the way they dance even when there is no music playing. I love the colours of their traditional clothes as much as I love the colours of the sky above Nigeria- always new, unexpected, perfect blends. I love the loud and exciting way Nigerians celebrate God, full of faith, but are still afraid of “juju” magic. Nigerian people are warm, loving, caring and full of life. There are so many intelligent, creative and talented people here, it is amazing!

I have found a second home here. Nigeria and its people have given me so much and I always try to give back as much as possible.

Don't blame her. As a white in Nigeria, she thought she is human not knowing that Nigerians see her as God. She can even get full police escort if she understands how to play on the psychology of the "leaders" in her community.

Nigeria is not as bad as we Nigerians paint it. We assume everything about Europe is world class and anything Nigerian non-class.
Inasmuch as we there are flaws in the system which we criticize, we should also show forth the good sides.

Have you ever wondered why Ajazeera, CNN and Co., always show the poorest part of the country(slums) when reporting anything about our dear country and some other Africa nations?

Whereas, we have beautiful places in this great country they will never show to the world. Since I came to this knowledge, I have been thinking if there is a global conspiracy against this country and our leaders are handicapped.

Yes, we have good people in Nigeria including the witches in every family that don't want any good thing for her neighbours.
Yes police is not ur friend and u have to thank God everytime you come back home but ur life is at danger all the time and no safety guaranteed.
You wan travel out of the country,the airport bastard staff will be forming gods and want to frustrate your life b4 u fly because they know u r getting better than them and that u r not coming back.Everybody will harass u in the country because they think u r better than them,if u think not,ask DJ Cuppy and other yeyebrities.
Pls don't tell me Nigeria is a good country again because that will make ne very angry.In fact I'm angry reading this nonsense article.
Nigeria is a good country and her citizens will be ridiculed,molested and disrespected all over the world with no apology and no Nigerian govt interference?
God punish all the past and present Nigeria leaders.
My respect only to late Awolowo,late Azikiwe and late Tafawa Balewa and Baba Kekere Pa.Jakande.
