Nigerians are tagged bad probably out of fear of Nigerians. Nigerians are feared because, they are black and because they are progressive. Anyone who seriously believes that Nigerians have a predisposition towards crime is ignorant. Before Nigerians came along, African Americans were tagged bad and predisposed towards crime.The western media always demonizes any set of black people who look as if they may buck the comfortable notion that black people are timid, dumb and servile.

Look at history and you'll find that any black nation, people or individual with any sort of independence of spirit, culture and tendency to be creative without white influence, are always demonized and destroyed. From Toussaint Louverture, Paul Bogle, Haiti, Mohamed Ali, Malcolm X Jamaica to Nigerians!

Demonizing and stereotyping people are the most powerful tool that white people have at their disposal to affect control over a people whom they wish to control or destroy. Quite apart from creating a universal climate of persecution for the people whom they wish to control and eventually destroy, demonization and stereotyping has the peculiar and effective characteristic of changing the people on whom it is used on. In other words if not watched and fought against can become self-fulfilling.


Black is a political term. If you notice Nigerians have become like the New Black. Once you'd find that[b] African American[/b], the old Blacks, were prescribed with the worst of everything. For instance, African American were the most prone to everything, diabetes, Heart Disease, fibroid, high blood pressure, Stupidity, Violent Crime, Venereal Diseases, Cancer, Economically most deprived, Educationally most subnormal etec. The list went on and on. Suddenly from being a people thought to be genetically superior because of the selection process that went on during slavery, African American went on to be ascribed the worst of everything. This was because African Americans during the so-called BLACK RENAISSANCE of the sixties were becoming a real threat to World Establishment.




Now its happening to Nigerians.

As you are here deceiving yourself trying to deny the obvious thousands of Nigerians are languishing in prisons around the world, some in death-row, saying that Nigerians are tagged bad abroad is an understatement, its a known fact by any right thinking human being.

Thousands of Nigerians languishing in Jails all over the world, huh? verified by Justwise no doubt.Can i by the way, out of interest, get the figures for Nigerians languishing in foreign jails compared to nationals of other countries.

In Britain for instance, the Daily Mail -that quality, racially even-handed news paper - recently quoted the figures for foreign nationals in British Jail. And they are as follows: Nigeria 727, Irish 681,Poland 642,Vietnam 596,Pakistan 440, Somalia 433, Romania 380, China 364. If you take into account the Population of Each of those Nations + the number of those nationals that reside in Brittan you'll come to the conclusion that Nigerians in British jails are relatively minor.

In fact there are more Somalis, Irish, Polish, Vietnamese, Romanians and Lithuanians in bristh jails by ratio than Nigerians. Even the relatively low Nigerians figure are further weakened if you take into consideration that many West Africans fall under the umbrella "Nigerians".

Now could you please get the figures for foreign Nationals languishing in Jails in the US, France and all those nations in which you believe Nigerians form the majority inmates and consequently- in the manner of empirical evidence- convinces you of Nigeria people's innate criminality?





An old US census:

NCJ Number: NCJ 147034 Find in a Library
Title: U.S. PRISONS CONFINE OVER 42,000 FOREIGN INMATES
Journal: Corrections Compendium Volume:16 Issue:4 DatedsadApril 1991) Pages:6-12
Author(s): S P Davis
Date Published: 1991
Page Count: 7
Type: Surveys
Language: English
Country: United States
Annotation: This survey provides data about the numbers and nationalities of foreign nationals incarcerated in United States and Canadian prisons.



Abstract:


A survey of United States prisons in 1991 found that of the more than 738,000 prisoners, an estimated 42,800 are citizens of other countries. This information is based on data provided by 50 United States correctional systems. Hawaii and Oklahoma did not participate in the survey, and although Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee did respond, they could not provide information about the nationality of their prisoners. Mexicans account for the greatest number of foreign nationals in U.S. prisons. Other countries with significant representation in U.S. prisons are Cuba, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Germany, Canada, England, grin Vietnam, and the Philippines. The largest number of foreign nationals are incarcerated in the Federal prison system with California and New York having the second and third most. The survey also encompassed the Canadian correctional system. Ten of Canada's 13 systems responded to the survey with eight able to provide the requested data. The largest numbers of foreign nationals in Canadian prisons are from Jamaica and the U.S. The presence of foreign nationals sometimes causes language problems in most of the prisons. Information is also provided about release procedures. In 39 of the systems, the foreign nationals may be turned over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service upon release while other systems simply discharge them into the community.

Re: Why Are Nigerians Tagged "Bad" In Most Foreign Countries. by justwise(m): 6:46pm On Jun 29, 2012
Its actually funny how you managed to make fool of yourself without knowing it.

Now tell me this. . .how many Nigerians are living in the UK compared to China, India, Pakistanis, Somalia, Romanians etc? How come there are more Nigerians in the prison in the Uk compared to other countries with higher population in the UK?

There are more Nigerians in the UK than Irish, Poland, China, Pakistan, Romanian?
Re: Why Are Nigerians Tagged "Bad" In Most Foreign Countries. by justwise(m): 7:12pm On Jun 29, 2012
In the whole of Britain figure by 2001 shows that there are 320,767 Pakistanis in the UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/born_abroad/countries/html/pakistan.stm

Compared to 88,105 Nigerians.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/born_abroad/countries/html/nigeria.stm

In London alone there are 78,000 Chinese nationals, http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2005/05/27/chinese_london_feature.shtml

In 2007, Indian population in London alone is approximately 491,300 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_community_of_London

So how come there are more Nigerian criminals in the UK prison even with lesser population compared to other countries?

you're lying, where did you read me stating that there are more Nigerians in Britain than Pakistanis or Chinese ?

My actual statement are quoted below:

my statement:

In fact there are more [size=13pt]Somalis, Irish, Polish, Vietnamese, Romanians and Lithuanians[/size] in British jails by ratio than Nigerians. Even the relatively low Nigerians figure are further weakened if you take into consideration that many West Africans fall under the umbrella "Nigerians".

and yes the Nigerian population is larger than that of Somalis,Romanians,Vietnamese and Lithuanians and i believe Polish- the polish population situation is complex, it grows and wanes. You only have a point with the Irish mistakenly placed there.


Now could you please get the figures for foreign Nationals languishing in Jails in the US, France and all those nations in which you believe Nigerians form the majority inmates and consequently- in the manner of empirical evidence- convinces you of Nigeria people's innate criminality?

Each time you post you come up with another warble, Romanian, Lithuanians and Poland does not need a visa to come to the Uk, so obviously there will be far more Romanians Lithuanians,and Polish in the UK than Nigerians since those 3 countries joined the EU. You don't need anybody to tell you that

Since you are struggling to come up with anything meaningful go and read up on those facts and prove me wrong.

Before Nigerians came along, African Americans were tagged bad and predisposed towards crime.The western media always demonizes any set of black people who look as if they may buck the comfortable notion that black people are timid, dumb and servile.

Look at history and you'll find that any black nation, people or individual with any sort of independence of spirit, culture and tendency to be creative without white influence, are always demonized and destroyed. From Toussaint Louverture, Paul Bogle, Haiti, Mohamed Ali, Malcolm X Jamaica to Nigerians!

Demonizing and stereotyping people are the most powerful tool that white people have at their disposal to affect control over a people whom they wish to control or destroy. Quite apart from creating a universal climate of persecution for the people whom they wish to control and eventually destroy, demonization and stereotyping has the peculiar and effective characteristic of changing the people on whom it is used on. In other words if not watched and fought against can become self-fulfilling.


Black is a political term. If you notice Nigerians have become like the New Black. Once you'd find that African American, the old Blacks, were prescribed with the worst of everything. For instance, African American were the most prone to everything, diabetes, Heart Disease, fibroid, high blood pressure, Stupidity, Violent Crime, Venereal Diseases, Cancer, Economically most deprived, Educationally most subnormal etec. The list went on and on. Suddenly from being a people thought to be genetically superior because of the selection process that went on during slavery, African American went on to be ascribed the worst of everything. This was because African Americans during the so-called BLACK RENAISSANCE of the sixties were becoming a real threat to World Establishment.




Now its happening to Nigerians.

Fellow brothers and sisters we are all feeling the burden of that name Nigeria regardless of what comments are being posted here cos at the end of it all ,the onus lies on everyone of us. Our attitude needs a drastic change me inclusive cos I'm sick n tired of questions whenever the name Nigeria is propped up feels like a bomb coming out of my mouth anytime I'm being asked of my origin ,its not funny shed tears ,depressed etc as a Nigerian ??but I'm not deterred cos my inner strength lies within me always head up!! So pls let's not lose sight of how the battered image can be redeemed.. in our little corner we can make d light shine positively just with words being tools for others to make use of ....we don't need to insult ourselves rather stumble heads together and shed that bad toga to shame..God bless us all!!
