I respect your POV. But I can only speak based on personal experiences.

That's not stereotyping. Nigerians are known for scamming. We all know this. That's why we get harassed at the airports, etc. Others may have more scammers but that's not what they're known for.

You are still making the same Mistake. You say Nigerians are known for Scamming as a general statement and then it makes me wonder why same Nigerians are some of the world leaders in Medicine, Science, sports etc.

Can you just stop this and start giving yourself the right Orientation by telling yourself and your kids (if you have any) that you are the best in the world.

Even you a Nigeria from your own comments thus far shows you are even racist to your own people because you got brainwashed by your Western slave masters.

Oga, Nigerians are known for scamming. It may not be our reality, it may be a misconception but that's the general mindset the vast majority of people out there have. I did not start and I do not necessarily agree with. Blame it on those spoiling your name.

I See some Young Kids Here,Smoking and doing Weed AS early AS 12.Children of nowadays are inquisitive ,u need to give them Close marking .When Parent are too busy and leave their responsibility to teachers,then whatever the teacher teach them ,its what they become .If their teacher teach them ,there is No God ,and you dont Tell them about God ,then they believe there is No God. If their teacher believe that everyone can decide to be Gays and homo and you dont Tell them its against Our culture ,then dont be suprise If they Turn Out gay.thanks for your contribution,i think behaviour of Kids raise differ from country to country.some Kids in Europe dont have opportunities like in canada or America ,some of them are discrimanated in school ,some are told in school they cant make be useful because they are black .If you are too busy to coreect this wrong Things they Tell them,then the child is affected negatively.God bless u

Poor analysis, A few bad eggs out of several millions. Your reasoning sha hmmmmmmmmmmm

Tetehjewels:


That is the general mentality of your slave masters which you bought into because they spoon-fed you with it.

Same way they would come here and make documentaries about our jungles only and every other ugly place and spoon-feed their people that Africa is a jungle and we live like monkeys. All just to paint Africa in a bad light

You clearly are blind to the politics at play in the world. They brainwash you into thinking you are the scum of the earth and that you live in a shithole and then dangle their carrot infront of you just to entice you to leave.

They use you to build their countries which is the grand scheme all along..

They say Nigerians are known for Scamming yet these same Western countries welcome you with open arms and because you now live there they hype you and change the narrative to NIGERIANS ARE HARD WORKING.

I wonder where the scamming tag suddenly disappears to in such times?

Well, see it as you may, that's the perception. Nigeria is not the only country in Africa, why point them out? All the scamming crimes out here usually involve one Nigerian at least. I keep defending them but they wouldn't stop. Americans may have high tech scammers but if fate has made it such that our low tech scammers are the ones easily caught and thereby creating a false impression that there are more scammers in Nigeria, I can't deny that the impression isn't there just cause I want to be loyal.

I'd gladly build any nation where I get value for it. You can keep building Nigeria, that's your choice.

PHijo:
Yes, however the parent would still have to raise their child. If they let the streets raise their child, their child in Africa may end up being worse than those in the western world.

Denrele, Charlie boy and Bobrisky all grew up here but their minds were probably elsewhere.

Tetehjewels:


Again wrong perception and wrong understanding.

Nigeria is the largest black Nation in the world and the leading African country and Western powers know that the only way to fully penetrate Africa is to weaken Nigeria thus the massive de-campaign against Nigeria which you have been brainwashed with

Why do you think that when a Nigerian who happens to be an American citizen, etc commits a crime he is immediately described as a NIGERIAN IMMIGRANT but when he does something note worthy of the press he is described as a citizen of their country?

A lot of African Nationals claim to be Nigerian in the face of crime and this is common knowledge.

Stop joining them to run down your own country. Rather be bold enough to speak well of her if indeed your brainwashing is not yet complete.

Godbpraised:
and what these percentages ?

Lol... Nigeria is known for scamming.

Whether Nigerians are scammers or not is a different thing. Whether the perception was planted or not is a different thing. But is true that the country is known for scamming as we speak? The answer is Yes. You wouldn't need to to speak well of Nigeria if there was no existing impression to correctly. Why would you be offset when I mention this existing impression? You can argue that's not the reality but that's still what the country is known for despite the works of great Nigerians out there.

There are other countries known for this too.

Why an adult alone? Why an elder? Why a boss? Why a superior? Any respect given to these kind of people are given cause of what people would say. The kind of respect artisans, employees, younger ones, and less skilled people get here, I've not seen in Africa. When I say fear, it doesn't mean anyone will be flogged. It's just that they worry about how they'd be perceived.

WoundedLamb:

I don't know where you get the impression that people don't love thier parents out here. Maybe it's a matter of the country where you live. An only child whose job involves traveling around has the option of getting a help for the aged parents or lodging them in care homes when he's not around. And people do both. Some age people don't have kids and the government takes care of them. These don't imply people don't love their parents. Family comes first everywhere.

WoundedLamb:

My grand point is, Africa isn't necessarily a better place to raise a child who will still live a good deal of his in America. Children are better of raised in the region where they'd live so that their personal experiences can come handy.

thebosstrevor1:


What sort of mentality is this.

Parents, the church, teachers and the environment all have a role to play in a child's life.

Children do not train themselves, they imitate what they see, if a parent is bad, they imitate that and that will become their reality.

The one on the left was raised in obodo oyibo. The thing on the right was raised in nizooria.

You don't need anyone to tell you that Africa produces nothing but animals.

Jaqenhghar:
You have cultists even in your secondary schools. The other day it was one girl with a gun. Then the other day it was how 15-16 year olds gang raped a girl yet some people believe Africa is the best ppace to raise a child.
Not saying oyinbo land is the best either but as a parent try do the best for your child
