an average nigerian is either a scammer or will scam if given the opportunity
from traders to buyers, to the pastors , to native doctors , to politicians to everybody.

if you are not a scammer or wont scam if given the opportunity, tell me what you do for a living and i will prove to you that you are a scammer

yahoo boys are just a small but loud branch of the scammers

No... this is a very terrible stereotype on Nigerians. Because you are bereft of morals doesn't mean it's generalizable to the entire population.

Majority carries the vote.....the populace are even worst than Government officials.

It's in fact rather silly to think there's anything like an "average Nigerian", and saying so just shows a failure in maths.

I wonder what would happen to your self esteem if you lived abroad as a Nigerian.

But thankfully, most other countries don't see us Nigerians as the criminals you see us and yourself as, or they wouldn't bother hiring us to responsible posts.

Those opposing the op know exactly what he meant and truthfully so. He's not far from the truth at all. If you like lie to your self

So how does this line of thinking address the issue?

Or are you saying you can just throw out an assumption without evidence or solutions simply because you're an "average Nigerian"?

Where's the backing for this claim of yours?

Or perhaps you think you can just jump online and tarnish the reputation of 200 million people, plus mess with their visa approval chances, just because you're an "average Nigerian" 🤔
🚶‍♂️

Yes, even you

It's not a stereotype. What he's saying is the raw truth.

If you can get funding to run an experiment...I'll tell you to send 5k to 100 random people and call them to send you back the money that it's a mistake.

I doubt if 10 out of the 100 would return back your money.

We're extremely dishonest in this country.

exactly. we are also very untrue to ourselves as you can see in the comments. we hate the truth. tell an average nigerian the raw truth and you become his worst enemy.
you will see a businessman who buys a product for 100k, selling it for 500k, and he will tell you its business.

Maj196:
Yes, even you

he wont. truth is bitter.

Na the calling of God's name the pain me pass. You will see a criminal or olosho saying, "na God the run."

Grace kee you

That is why our political leaders and the clergy are looting in the name Jesu Krista. And no one question them because they call the name of God

exactly my guy. the thing is so annyong and its destroying us. olsosho wey dey go to drink multiple semen go dey pray to god. kidnapper wey dey go to kill go dey pray to god.
enter cell na, you go see criminals dey pray anyhow. i wonder who they are decieving.

. if you check the richest churches in the world, no naija church dey top 5 but when you check the richest pastors in the world na naija dey top am. if you check the source of income for those other churches, you will hear legit things like real estate etc, if you check redeemed, winners etc na tithes and offering you go see as source of income. how will a country go forward like this.

I agree with you.

I would agree with the op if they narrowed it down to Nigerian Pastors. Now that is not just an average, that is the totality of them. Either benefitting from a scam they have or are running or plotting new ones.

To an extent, yes. Yet, there are exceptions.
