I agree! I work at immigration office and I put my advert here for free about international passport waiver and fast tracking production, I'm grateful to all the Nigerian that had patronized me. Some even send the payment before meeting me in person. Indeed there are great Nigerians

You're correct. This hospitable gesture cuts across ethnicity and religion. Our leaders are our problems. They thrive in preaching divisive words. Nigerians are even more caring and hospitable abroad. In 2018 I travelled to Los Angeles. I was to go for my meeting but needed to get some snacks and keep in my.hotel before leaving. Down the street of Inglewood was a mall. I entered guess what? It was an ibo guy I met there. There's this natural features Nigerians exhibit facially, which could enable you identify them even without hearing them speak..maybe I'm the only one observing this. I walked to him and asked...are you Nigerian and he said yes, from the south east. We became friends. This guy drove me to Torrance, my meeting venue without collecting a dime from me. He said he was supposed to take a day off but he'd take me there.

That's how nice Nigerians can be. I was in Chicago some years back, same experience in a coffee shop. It was a lady this time. Back home, everywhere I go, I always receive warm.welcome. our politicians are our worst enemies. Vote wisely next year and all these nonsense will stop. God bless Nigeria
I told you bro Nigerians are so hospitable Home or Abroad even though we have some bads eggs but the good ones outnumbered them.

Stay in your village and be assuming things.

If you have travelled out of Nigeria, you would be proud to be a Nigerian. They tell you to your face that you are smart and brilliant people.
More reasons most African countries are envious of us. It is true some are crooks among us but Nigerians are smart and strong will people.

I have not travelled outside of Africa but I have travelled wide in Africa and I know what I am saying.

I took a Taxi drop in Gambia (Drop is called Town Trip in Gambia) The Driver said to me.
"Are you a Nigerian?"
"Yes," I said.
"You guys are smart and intelligent," he said.
"Why did you say so?" I asked.
"It shows all over you guys. Even in the way you walk. You are always in a hurry, You are never sluggish and you are mostly successful," He said.
"Wait I will show you a Nigerian in the crowd," he added.
We got to one of their busiest and biggest markets. Serekunda Market. As he drove he said, "look, look at that guy. He is a Nigerian. You see the way he moves among the crowd?"
I laughed so hard because he was right. The guy is a Nigerian. We know ourselves in the country. While other people in crowd were slow and sluggish, that guy was moving left and right, walking as if he was about to be late for an interview.

Several other instances I can't type here.

Young guy, be proud of your Nation. Naija is great. You won't appreciate until you leave the shores of Nigeria.

With good leaders, we will be a great Nation the Europeans and Americans will envy.

That's my piece of cake for you.

Working class Nigerians abroad are generally good people because they know the law works there, and they do not want to be caught up with immigration issues. The Nigerian in Nigeria are mostly nonchalant, heartless and selfish because he know the law does not work, and there are very few opportunities available.

My advice to you is to discard your antic of classifying people based on tribes, and deal with people as individuals. That way you'll see great people, rather than great Nigerians, or Ghanian, as this way of thinking comes back to bite.

But the problem with igbos is competition back in the home can push anyone too far, number of rich is very intimidating in Igbo land

Poor man no get say for Igbo land.
Haha? Must you always soil an otherwise good thread with your tribalism? Where, how and when did the O.P opine it's mostly or most especially Igbo? You people can be so boastful over inanities.

WORKING & LIVING WITH NIGERIANS ABROAD

Being a Ghanaian, I’ve had this bad impression about Nigerians. I grew up in Ghana thinking Nigerians were negative energies around anyone. I was literally brainwashed mostly by the media to see Nigerians as thieves, murderers, scammers, etc. But after 6 years of working and associating with Nigerians outside of Ghana, the following are what I’ve found and discovered about them. I’m writing this not because my best friend back in the UK is a Nigerian, and not because my senior manager and team lead at my present employer are Nigerians. This is my honest observation!

Arguably, if you put the average Ghanaian and a Nigerian under the same conditions and environment, the Nigerian would undoubtedly outperform the Ghanaian. They are bold, smart and have this relentless quest and effort for learning and perfecting their craft. What a Nigerian cannot do does not exist. I started a DevOps Engineering program for a career alternative and Nigerians especially their women from different career fields constitute about 60% of the class. I was scared to take this step—to move from risk management to pure IT but I was shocked to see Nigerians in nursing, HR, journalism, sales, etc here in Canada taking on the challenge. I quickly reached out to most of my Ghanaian friends but none seem to be interested. This is a fortune field in IT….and when I asked these Nigerians why many of them are here, they told me “this is the surest way to make money by doing less”. Truth is, if you’re starting anything abroad and there’s no Nigerian in it, just know that that thing has no promise ��. A Nigerian wouldn’t attempt what doesn’t bring any monetary gain or value to them!

I’ve noticed that a Nigerian wouldn’t lie to you unless they’re scared of you or stand to gain something exceedingly beneficial from doing so. This confirms why the most genuine and honest folks I’ve ever associated with outside of Ghana are Nigerians. When a Nigerian is sharing an opportunity with you, they disclose everything dito-dito. They withhold nothing—they tell you as it is. My people would give you a half information and still be all over the place saying that they’ve helped you. You have no idea how many Ghanaians have made themselves demi-gods out here because they’ve been here for ages and feel everything must be ran through them. If you don’t go their way, you’re a target for gossip!

A Nigerian sees an opportunity in every situation, and it cuts across. They’re mostly interested in building a sustainable business than for a quick profit. This explains why wherever there are both Ghanaian and Nigerian traders, the Nigerian merchandise would cost less than the Ghanaian—even if they have the same suppliers. I see that here in Calgary at the various African markets.

Show me any work environment or office without a Nigerian and I’ll show you a work that’s less fulfilling and rewarding. The energy around Nigerians is positive and motivating. Nothing scares them than failure so they work hard for success because success is greatly celebrated in their culture. Where I come from, if you’re making any progress, there’s 100% chance you’ll lose 99% of your friends—they’ll spread lies about you out of dislike. Some would also attribute your progress to things other than your personal efforts. “You see that girl, she’s being chopped by so so and so person. You see that guy, he’s an occult. You see that guy, he’s rushing in life. Etc”. Your own family would turn themselves into avowed enemies—praying to see you fail so that they’ll use you as a bad example like “you see that guy, he was rushing in life but see how he’s crushed like a fragile glass.” My people have a long way to go. They must know that it’s okay for anyone irrespective of age to be great at what they do. In fact, people can build a fortune at age 40 or less through genuine means. Let’s inhale some positivity!

We glorify timidity, ignorance and sycophancy as signs of humility but Nigerians encourage boldness, assertiveness and being daring. If there’s a Nigerian in your trade or profession, get closer, you’ll learn a lot from them. I’ve learned a lot from my association with them and I’m always grateful for having one as my direct supervisor at work!

What would be news was if he had discovered a Nigerian tend to be the most HONEST person in a room comprising of several nationals. That would be some NEWS.

Some of the supposedly hard working Nigerians are actually working against the overall betterment of the system, at least here in Nigeria. Work can be negative too, or too selfish to have any positive impact on the society.

But in reference to his experience, so far the Nigerians he came across have impacted positively on him, and that's the positive image we are trying to promote here. There are uncountable Nigerians working in all manner of works of life in diaspora that are having great positive impact on the system, economy of their host countries, i know of a surgeon in West Fargo, ND, a Nigerian, he's one of the best in Robotic surgery. They are all over the places bro, very honest Nigerians. Please let's change our mentality.
NB: Except you are non Nigerian trying to run us down as being a Nation of totally dishonest people.

Most of what this fellow said about many Ghanaians are true. I used to have one Ghanaian landlady, she was the most stupid old woman I ever saw, she never saw anything good about Nigerians, even when some Ghanaians committed offences back in their native Ghana, the stupid woman would say they were influenced by Nigerians. I used to argue with her until I learnt not to argue with fools like her.

Though I met some other good Ghanaians, however many of them envy and see Nigerians as bad people.
