They believe that Nigerians go through hard drives to get their passwords to scam them. Can you imagine!! But is that true?
That's not true, and no Nigeria scammer even use all those African prince format, most of those scammer are actually whites, one was caught some yrs back, he uses Nigeria name n all but when he was finally caught he was a white guy pretending to be Nigerian and scamming people.

To be honest every country has their own issues ... they just look down on us as black and Africans. If I was the one they invited for that dinner and they talk like idiots their view of Nigerians will change ... let me explain. PLEASE GUYS ABROAD THIS SHOULD BE YOUR REACTION TOO!


"I was once invited to a friend’s house for dinner and I was asked by her mother, ‘what is Nigeria known for’. I was about to mention food, music and movies but this friend’s younger sister blurted out ‘corruption’. Everyone else on the table laughed. Then the father started talking about Nigerian prince scams and all other nonsense. I was told apparently that the sister wrote a paper on Nigeria and corruption.

I will laugh even harder, while listening and shaking my leg ... then I will say "this food taste great is this chicken (even if it doesn't) ... then say but Australians are known all over the world as pedophiles, I read an article that 3 out of every 5 Australian children have been sexually abused as children, so def one or two people here have been sexually abused as a child, I just hope it's not your younger sister who thinks Nigeria is known for corruption then I will laugh ... HAHAHA "OH! SO YOU GUYS WONT LAUGH WITH ME AT THE TABLE TOO?!?!? " then I will explain that CNN BBC talk say pedophiles 90% are from Australia and U.K.

Simple truth here don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

This, without doubt, is one of the most sensible posts I have read on NL. A lot of ignorant folks say a lot of spiteful things about our dear country just because the don't like the president or hate a certain tribe not knowing that they are doing themselves great disservice. No matter what you do or say, you are still a Nigerian and that's how the international community sees you. The earlier we understand this fact and stop acting like morons the better for us.

God bless
shut up! just because we are all born in Nigeria does not mean we are one. Nigeria is just a name, and so for someone like me, it remains an unappealing name until she gains my respect. I ain't doing no shitty patriotism for a shithole. blind patriotism will not fix did rot of a country. Fix it n get my respect!

Na Nigerians ain't that smart, to be honest Nigeria is a baby in internet fraud business.

Countries like Russia is the king but you'll never ever hear their media reporting such news even USA.
I don’t support fraud or any of it but the reason why you see Nigeria is portrayed bad is because of their loudness. Instead of using the money to do better things back home they will rather buy properties abroad and show off. If you have followed Narcos keenly, you will see that Nigeria is child’s play when it comes to drug but see how Pablo was liked, he even dared contesting the presidency position. Are there no Mafias in Italy. Do they make noise? See the MMM guy, did lavish wedding, louded himself. Do you know if Marvodi the founder is still alive or dead?We are too loud, loud in everything. Even the ones practicing cultism are loud. They show theirselves everywhere, home and abroad. so what do you expect when you loud yourself, the media will “louder” you.

yes.the negative view about Nigerian are being propagated by the media and also the people of Nigerians.some European countries are much more poorer than Nigeria but you will never see them talk about it on their media.in Germany,you see alot of people sleeping outside in the cold with no home ,you will not see it on their tv.alot of people are in the europe with no source of living and hungry.you don't hear it on social media.Nigeria is far better than some countries thou many may not believe it.The problem is that we are our own problem.The opposition party sees it as a duty to tell the outside world that nigerians are suffering,the government go out to seek aid from international bodies that their people live in poverty ,hungry bloggers are used by politicians to spread bad news about nigerians. foreigners learn everything they know about nigerians on social media.you will never see our Nigerian media proclaim something good about nigeria .80% of what they do is negative.when you ask an average nigerian about nigeria.they tell you nigeria is a bad place and some people even call Nigeria a zoo.when.you call your country a zoo,then what do you want others to call it.every country has got its own bad side,right now we are dealing with corruption ,corruption is a big problem in Nigeria,it was handed over to US and it will take years to bring to a minimum level.it may be very hard to eliminate corruption but it can be reduced.the negative view people have about nigerians is also displayed abroad,some nigerians living abroad engage in very bad activities and bring bad reputation to the country .so the problem is not only with the government but also with the people itself.

if you will be truthful to yourself.the negative name that people have about nigeria did not start now.you seem to be biased.i love to say the truth.nigeria had a very bad reputation before Buhari came unless you are not truthful.some of this negative view is even caused by nigerians living abroad.in malaysia ,nigerians are not rented house because of their nationally.they are known to be scammers and people are afraid if them.we blame everything on government.the truth is that the whole system in nigeria is corrupt.a situation in which people believe that it's ok when politicians steal and nothing is wrong provided everybody is enjoying.a situation in which people even defraud members of their own family.i will say that corruption starts with the ordinary people and in the home and escalates in to the everyday life and government.there is corruption in every country in the world but the level of corruption is very low as compared to that in nigeria
