One single country with over 400 languages.They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.If you don’t blow your trumpet, no onewill blow it for you.#VIVA_NAIJA!!20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigeriansworld over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records.This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media.Listen Nigeria, don't let anybody woo youinto believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian.Nigerians are NOT criminals.You are NOT a criminal.You are topnotch; second to none around the world.I am proud am created a Nigerian, thank you God.Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go.Take out your Passport with pride.Be proud of our GREEN HERITAGE.Be enthusiastic of our FUTURE GREATNESS.
