Hi, Nigerian
Is the pretense necessary? Do we continue in this manner? Will there be no generations after you? Admittedly, there shall be generations after you. When those generations become men, will there ever be a thing of pride for them to celebrate?
Consider the following instances:

1. A legit Nigerian internet marketer that hopes to attain a universal presence requires a VPN. The essence? He can't go farther without faking his identity. If you think it's a bluff, try universal market places like Fiverr. A Nigerian profile may be earning, but running a profile with the identity of the least productive country will fetch double the earnings a Nigerian account can.

2. Hardwork hardly enjoys recognition in Nigeria. You keep misplacing priority. You direct your energy at something irrelevant; something that soils your already soiled identity. Why?

There are a couple more instances, but settle for the above mentioned; you do not want an epistle that will bore your interest.
Is the message vague? There is no better way to describe the situation, unfortunately. Just understand that you, a Nigerian, basks in a soiled identity.

Regarding the essence of this thread, can we erase just a quarter of the taint? Can we? If we can, then let's pull resources and make amends.
Meanwhile, is it possible to contact the dictionary developers regarding their definitions of Nigeria?
The definitions are disappointing. Ask yourself, who would feel comfortable dealing with a Nigerian when dictionaries have painted the identity evil? Who?
