konfused:Well said but they're right kind of. Nigerians are not to be trusted. Seems you've not been scammed by a Nigerian, you'll curse the day you were born cuz they're very good in criminal acts. Biko pray not to have an encounter with them. Its suicidal. 9 Likes |

Indians and Bangladesh are the world's best scammers and fraudsters. But you won't see the mainstream media banging on that because of the trade relationship they have we them countries. Nigerians fall my hand big time. 2 Likes |

Amberon: "Thorough research"?? Are you kidding me?? The whole article is filled with so much ignorance and wrong info. Of course there are scammers in Nigeria, same way the Americans have drug pushers, murderers, perverts/peodophiles, serial killers, etc. But do you see us paint every American with the same brush despite the fact that the criminals among them a just a few? So why's that done to Nigerians? And what's the crime in Nigerians dating white or fair skinned women? As long as the intention isn't to scam or gain the green card via malicious means, I say go for it. Aftersll Nigerians are known to be daring/risk takers. 1 Like |

MajorGomwalk: Biko, did I mention the nationality of Charles Ponzi, I only stated that the fraud was done in America by a guy named Ponzi. What's the misinformation there?

mansakhalifa:When it comes to geography part, most Americans are illiterate. The most annoying part is calling Africa a country. Africa that is bigger than the North America Continent. There was a survey carried out by New York times. They asked about 1700 Americans to indicate where North Korea is located more than 50% chose wrong continent. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

bishopkay: Let's not defend what's wrong. What's stops her from giving it her own brand name? Because she wants to ride on the popularity and uniqueness of Gucci. And that, just like someone selling other fake products-is a crime because she's not a Gucci distributor. When you go to Alaba international you'll people selling fake LG, Samsung and Sony logos. They bring substandard electronics from China and brand it original LG. They know what they were buying from China is fake but people like us don't until we start using it. Same as that lady. Someone can come and buy her shoes in large quantity. The person knows he's buying fake Gucci. But he takes to to a fancy boutique and sells it a original Gucci price. And a novice like me that wants to wear Gucci for the first will go and buy it. 14 Likes 1 Share |

This one weak me sha! My sense of patriotism, no matter how small and battered it is wanted to shout these murrafukas down, but it's sad that almost everything written on that blog is true. Our leaders have so raped our dignity and minds, that criminality now seems to be legality in this country. We have been so mentally decimated in this country with poverty by our leaders that we have lost all sense of morals. Our leaders make the vast population poor so that we will have to beg for the little crumbs that they handout to us during election season to keep them in power. We can't fight back, because they have divided us with tribalism. May the Lord save us all. 6 Likes |

fratermathy: Let's be truthful to ourselves as Nigerians...Most of what he said is true...he didn't just have to generalize alot as he did.... We are very vain and fanatic people, who cover our problems in religion and tribalism... We are not ready to move away from our colonial masters and develop ourselves from within...rather we are close minded and celebrate alot of criminals in this our country...alot of us are psychopaths who can't stand for any just cause..it must always be about money, fame,women and sex in our country.. No one is selfless... no one can work truly from his heart for the good of others. our problem ain't our leaders or our politicians..our problem is our individual families that has refused to imbibe virtues in us...our problem is Me and you... we just need to change ourselves ...our country will never be better...peace. 19 Likes |

mzabbie: Even at that, how many articles has he written about America's crime. The murder rate of only Detroit in America surpasses that of the whole Nigeria. The number of scams being perpetrated by Americans are more than its done in Nigeria. wetin sef, its high time we start defending ourselves else all these negative stereotype will stick to us.

Amberon: How can the OP be right ? There are officially 15 million Nigerian expatriates around the world. If the overwhelming majority are bad then approximately 10million are scam artists. Does that tally with reality? Do you also know that many west Africans to avoid being deported to their countries claim to be Nigerians when arrested ? Finally, fyi, Americans, Germans and East Europeans take more money illegally out of the system than Nigerians do. 2 Likes 1 Share |

So much truth in that article. That's the average mindset of a Typical Nigerian. You see the average Nigerian always think they are way smarter than the next Joe. If they have opportunity to meet anyone slightly richer than them, they will either turn a liability,beg or just expect u must help them e. g Tonto Dike's Nanny. If they meet a white person they will suck up n 'Oga sir' them up n down. Then eventually come up with a sob story so they can get money or try to take advantage. I won't even start with the girls. We as a people need to look inward and realise than we are our own problem. It's easy to say our politicians are corrupt blah..blah.. blah. But our politicians are a reflection of us.In the words of Simon Sinek "Our politicians are mirror raised to us". A typical Nigerian would rather leave behind money as his/her legacy rather than a good name or a life impacting initiative that will better the lives of his immediate environment. The way our society is turning out should tell you we are losing a fight for the dignity of our beloved country. When a fresh graduate sees a job of 30k rather than examine how that job can further elevate him with more hands on experience n skills, he is bothered about how that salary befits him as a graduate. Remember he just might be a politician some day. What kind of politician will he be? The type that really wants to better the lot of his people or just wants to grease his pocket? If we continue this way we will keep getting the politicians we deserve; We will keep getting insults and scorn from the rest of the world. 8 Likes |
