i think he's right if you come to the u.s you'd understand that the akatas(black americans) are lost between the western culture and their roots. They believe they are americans because they gained citizenship by birth which is fine but what's your definition of culture when you have nothing to show for it? the funniest thing is they have hatred for africans so much. I don't know if it's some gender stuff but the hatred is there

Originalsly:
Bro...don't get it twisted!....Buhari's statement made as much difference as if you add a barrel of water into the ocean. How many people ever did listen to what he had to say? How many people even know him?...try doing a test in your workplace... ask who is Buhari and I can guarantee you at least 70% will have no idea. Like you said earlier.... Africa is seen as a country but then again..... Nigeria is in a league of its own...there is Africa...and there is Nigeria.... negative Nigeria.... either a bunch of crooks ...always scheming to scam people's money...or.... as a guy... always trying to marry for papers and always having a wife and kids back home waiting. That has been and still is the perception of Nigerians abroad....nothing changed when Buhari said what he said. Tell people you are African.... they'll be pretty much cool with you. ... tell them you are Nigerian... and you'll see the difference. Nigerians...scammers.... all other Africans... hungry and starving....you will never hear of Nigerians as hungry and starving! That's the reality.
On Culture..... of all the groups. ..Whites have no Culture..none. The Akatas have been intentionally stripped of their culture during slavery...but still... have some left within. Do you (not personal) ever realized that of all the religions.... none... not one was founded by Whites? They have no Culture period.
In all... I do like how you are really questioning whether we are the ones that are promoting the negative image of ourselves....and how much NL is a platform for promoting self hatred.

. He is saying the truth uncle Fishbrain

bencarson007:
. @Konfused, God bless you... I just wonder why some funny youths just come here to support some racists comments about us because of the sins of a few... Yes let them try Indians and Russians in scamming or italians in drugs and violence related gang matters... Haba... Nigeria is a country of a 180million persons with 99.9% hardworking and honest individuals who want a government that delivers for them and allow them get on with their lives... I hate it when at the mention of the name NIGERIA, the first thing some fish brained and narrow minded individuals think of is corruption... What a pity

Naimolawale:
Very true, more reason why i keep my bad behavior within my community and not exposing it out to public. When will Nigerians learn. Even the person running this site does not have the best interests of the country at all. In every comment on this forum, it's insult, racist, religious attacks, political attacks, tribal wars nd so on. And yet nothing is done to cub the situation. But he doesn't care because he's making his money. By now his priorities ought to have shift because Nairaland is already famous but causing more damage in the country nd outside.

kpaminose:
Life is not always as straight as you just made it seem. Every society don't deserve the kind of leaders they have. Do you know about imposition and manipulation? Nigerians were great people before the Whites came and introduced some new concepts to us. I appreciate some of the good things they did but in the process they planted some really bad seeds. How they made sure they amalgamated NOrthern and Southern Nigeria despite knowing it will never work to how they made sure power went to the North despite knowing they were least qualified. How they caused division and planted corruption from the foundation of NIgeria. These seeds germinated into some unqualified people ruling over more educated and literate people which gave rise to hatred and animosity. Which later gave birth to crisis and corruption. corruption gave rise to people trying to form new method of adaptation. When the system is bad, humans will naturally try to formulate new ways to adapt. All the problem of NIgeria can be traced to the Europeans. Read the history of Bini and you will see how sadistic the Europeans are. or better still, that of Jaja of Opobo. All blames still lies on the Europeans. Our only fault is our weakness which I agree is a very big offense.

kpaminose:
You are a very shallow thinker that looks at symptoms. But I'm not a straight like thinker like you. I look at root cause. Nothing happens for nothing. One thing leads to another. Foundation is what matters most. When a bad foundation is laid from the onset, it's very hard for a building and it's component to stand together. Think about it

kpaminose:
I don't defend anything. You need to be in their own society to appreciate what you have. they wrote about Nigerians not training their children and many nonsense. Go to America and you know the meaning Juvenile delinquency. GO to America and see how all of the have turn to nihilists, gays, transgenders, weirdos, suicidals and any evil thing you can think of. High majority of them are addicted to drugs. All the societal ills are very high in the socalled First World countries. You'll appreciate what you have when you see what others have turned into.

sEGXY2:
Americans are so good at profiling others of what they themselves are guilty of. Our yahoo boys are learners where they are, talk about hacking, fake credit cards, fake receipts et al were all cons started by their own citizens. They've(Americans) now upgraded to pinching millions in the stock market by cloning while naija boys are pulling credit card scams.

Let's not also forget that up till now America is still exploiting Africa particularly oil producing countries even making Africa a dump site when their stupid innovations get rejected by Asians

I can perceive her hurt from her write up, she's probably been a victim of yahoo boy, cry on baby. 180 million people are also victims of your government's mass exploitation

SSBN:
Bleep what they say. I forever proud despite the problems. Can you imagine the level of carnage out society will be if Nigerian youths decided to sit by and wait for govt...like some welfare state. It will be Civil War 7 by now. According to a Portuguese researcher Pedro who visited Nigeria to see for him self

"Nigeria is the most entrepreneurial country in human history" Everything from Showbiz to Nollywood to our music Industry to Yahoo to .....anything is Bourne out of the need for survive. The biggest ponzi scammers in living memory is American....the Madoff scandal ruined millions. Drug racketeering and weapons is a bigger threat to Americans than Nigerian scammers. Illegal imigrant in a daily basis kill innocent Americans, you hear reports of 80 year old women been raped by Hispanic illegals.

.....yet Nigerians are the bad guys because of their affinity to date white women. Wtf. The head of the U.S military Drone program is Nigerian you dumb bleeps. It was a Nigerian doctor who inspired the movie Concussion...which by the way saved countless lives you dumb bleeps. I'm not saying Nigeria is perfwvt, but if you gonna generalise a whole nation then better get your fucking facts in order you dumb bleeps. Africans hate Nigerians because they cannot stand out drive to success, our confidence, our can do spirit *Which America once possessed* but have been lost to a stupid culture of Liberal decadence and debauchery where being gay anf transgender makes you a hero. America going down the drain because of this and somehow Nigerians are to blame. Bleep you modafuckers.

MedicMan1role1:
Young man.

He is power hungry alright, but his reign has made Zimbabwe one of the most self sufficient country in Africa, despite all the embargoes, bad media and suppression by the west.
You are just following the western narrative. Zimbabweans do not need money, and this has made the state the most crime free oasis in Africa. What is there to steal? i was in Zimbabwe and I marvelled. Very simple life and the people very happy and communal. Real African paradise.

The west don't like him cos he kicked them in the arse off their lands , so they have been sabotaging him economically and funding oppositions against him.

Robert Mugabe is tough, Africas greatest Black president. He has always secured his power democratically .. If we had more leaders like him in Africa, Africa won't be getting raped in the arse by western corporations.

Quote me when u have attained his age and still can articulate

Gaddafithe2nd:
Well, most of the things he said is the truth, but the problem I have with this article is the generalisation. Several times I have been attacked on social media especially international news platform when I make comments. The next thing they will say is, "keep shut you fraudster from Nigeria" or "your country is filled with corrupt politicians". Most of these comments are disheartening but it doesn't weigh me down.
Nigerians both home and abroad should represent the country well. Nigerians should stop worshiping money and wealthy people.

Ishilove:
This is awkward...

An ignorant racist writes nonsense and some Nigerians are accepting it as gospel truth.

While we accept that Nigeria is a country bedevilled by corruption, this kind of generalisation has rendered the article nonsensical. How can you say 'every Nigerian is a scammer'? The most notorious scammers in history are Americans, Europeans and Asians. Every crook hiding in cyberspace can claim to be Nigerian because we already have a bad rep.

I dismissed the entire article when the silly writer inferred that Nairobi is in West Africa. I cannot take the thoughts of such an ignorant person seriously, whether black or white.

As for the Emmanuel who commented on the blog, he evidently belongs to that class of Nigerians in Diaspora who display their rock bottom self esteem and inferiority complex by being more American than the Americans.

Crap!

Soknown:
Someone called us, Nature's spoilt brats, Nature's prodigal sons and daughters, unfortunately we always live up to that tag. Shameful, the minister mentioned it like it's just a clerical error whereas it is a criminal negligence of duties, those culpable should face firing squad. #MYTAKE

Zulu212:
I biliv they wer illiterates or semi literate....Lugard amalgamated for convenience sake nd the leaders signed either by force or becos they had no choice

Zulu212:
But is it a crime to be a Nigerian? Same question i ask me sef everyday......May Amadioha strike Lugard and his descendants were ever they are for this fraud...

SalamRushdie:
Nigeria is a special kind of wicked place ..Nigerian Doctors and pharmacist turned free HIV drugs into business where they expected those who the drugs were donated for to pay upto 45,000 monthly to gain access to the drugs ..Many who couldn't afford to pay the extortionist were left to die ...We always shudder when we hear someone beheaded another for money rituals but in reality 70 percent of Nigerian professionals are also money ritualist

win2kwire:
Therein lies the problem of the naive and subjugated Nigerian pleb.
I have no appologies for you, NONE! Once I see you are a bystander, appologist and an ignoramus on the issue at hand I will wipe the floor with you.

Over 50 years ibo people have soiled Nigeria for their mess of porridge, over 50 years ibos engaging in drug dealing and crimes globally to advance their so called business reputation and there is a dum.b Nigerian making silly childish appologies!

There are millions of Nigerians abused, humiliated, deprived and intimidated at global airports and cities for a reputation caused by a small section of the country and your solution is what EXACTLY

ibo people pride themselves of being able to start a small chemist business, shop or trade ONCE they return from a single or multiple DRUG trafficking trip abroad and they have been doing it over 50 years, dumb Nigerians slept through the whole thing and now that the world have more sophisticated detection equipment all of a sudden these criminal mon.keys are called Nigerians and all of us have to suffer for something we did not do or benefit from!

And you want to do what exactly, use sweet fancy words and god dey mentality

p1ss off pls!

Emmacj19:
See nairaland advisers, perverts everywhere. If you are about 50 years above, single, childless and happy please come and advice this op. Not when when you are with your wife,gf ,bf ,husband and be typing Nonsense on nland. See them

Jarus:
The handle is JarusHub, not Jarus.

JARUSHUB:
Make the most of what you have in Nigeria. Do Dangote, Otedola or Innoson beg for Visa before they travel?

weedtheweeds:
sorry for Africa. Were are we heading with all these copi-kats? speaking Igbo or pidgin on American flow cannot make it African. na madness go make me buy fake for the same amount way dem day sell original? Abeg Flavour better pass all these things. The song weak pass rotten plantain.

Amarabae:
stop defending him.
The black woman has been relegated to the back seat in the international world of celebrity dating.
How many white or Asian celebrity guys do you see rushing to date black girls?
Why are black male celebrities abroad always running into the hands of white ladies?
#SELLOUTS!

BrutalJab:
See them funny creatures







Were it to be Davido or Wizkid abi any other Nigerian based celebrity, you guys would have started cursing them.

Talk of double standard... Hypocrites

tonychristopher:

He's childless. How can he plan for the future of France when he does not have anyone who will be part of that future?

Vickiweezy:

Na bad thing to hustle? At least they're not in the streets robbing people with weapons and besides nobody forced those women to pay. They didn't complain and surely they wouldn't lack. Because someone who decides to give you a certain amount of money knows how much they have at their disposal.
Leave Yahoo boys.




To those quoting me, It's a shame that y'all have such mentality. It was the same white people that enslaved our fore fathers, they came to our own land and used us or rather scammed us officially and no one uttered anything, the same people that were contemplating in a room if blacks were humans or animals, the same people that have intimidated us and use our God-given resources like it's theirs. Believe it or not, yahoo has done more good than harm to Us. To every hustler out there, keep scamming those white people as it's our turn, they've had theirs to use us as slaves now it's our time to use them.
