This was actually made public? Like seriously. What a huge insult. I know some may say we asked for it but majority of Nigerians abroad and home are NOT Con artists. This writeup if true, is not in any way acceptable and Nigerian should demand an apology from whichever diplomatic envoy immediately. ![]() |

bjims: I am presently studying at Cranfield University....You would be amazed at the level of Ignorance some "oyinbos" display as regards information relating other ethnicity. Classes has become more of me lecturing them about the true situation on the African continent including Nigeria. They always make their judgement often based on information from their press. we need a media in the like of Aljazeera to truly project the image of Nigeria.If I told you some of the stuffs my lecturers say about Nigerians you would wonder who is truly knowledgeable on world affairsWhat do your lecturers say about Nigerians on the highlighted statement? I would like to know about them. Thank you. 1 Like |

For those of you that are fired up and want to see a change in Nigeria you can start from here to contribute; http://ends.ng Also try to attend rallies and protests on ground. Remember all power belongs to the people there are over 150 million of us against 10000 known criminals and cabals in Abuja running our country into the ground. If we all come out en masse, how many of us will they be able to shoot? we must all try to work in one accord with a single purpose to reclaim our country. Meanwhile you can do your own: - stop tribalism, see every Nigerian as your brother no matter their tribe, religion or sexual orientation - stop bribery, don't give and don't collect bribe - stop nepotism, don't only give jobs or contracts to people you know, give them to the most qualified and capable applicants - stop the violence, learn to communicate clearly and effectively not with verbal or physical abuse ( I see a lot of you on this nairaland displaying the verbal abuse behaviour and it's shocking!) - last of all, be an advocate for change and the peace you want to see, check your self and your behaviours then adjust to see if you can promote peace, discipline, integrity and honesty all the time. Nigeria go survive, my country go survive, Nigeria go better! 5 Likes |

OYINBOGOJU: If what she wrote is true and if you a Nigerian then that means you are either a kidnapper or a pirate or a scammer or car jacker. Pick your choose!. OYINBOGOJU you think like them (the oyibos you think you are). You are suffering from complex. No matter how bad things may be in Nigeria, no outsider has the right to criticize us. With respect to criminally, Americans are number one. OYINBOGOJU, can you tell us which department in unilag run credit card fraud as a major? I will like use this medium to call on unilag alumnus and the community to rise up to the challenge and sue this lady for all her worth. If we continue to keep quite, this rubbish will persist as such we must speak up and take action. Am based outside Nigeria. Every time I go to work, on the streets, at terminals, I suffer prejudice for been a Nigerian. Guess what AM VERY VERY VERY PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN. OYINBOGOJU if you do not know the import of what she wrote, then I guess I have to educate you. She meant ALL NIGERIANS ARE CRIMINAL. and by extension you are a criminal.

What is offensive about it? It hurts us when other people tell us the truth. Why didnt they talk about Ghana like that. Can we deny any of the statements apart from the UNILAG tingy. U may say this is not a third world. But the features of a third world are present in this country. This morning, it was announced that 25 people were killed in fresh Boko Haram attack in Borno. Nobody said anything. It has become a norm. Abnormality thrives in this country. So what are we talking about. If we cannot tell ourselves the truth, let someone else tell us the simple but bitter truth. Unfortunately, I reckon that no amount of insult and truth from abroad will change anything because we are used to abnormality. The solution of Nigeria lies with YOU and ME. First decide to change yourself and vehemently reject the rubbish that our clueless leaders throw into our face. We must demand accountability and social justice. We must protest the lack of prosecution of corrupt officials. We must fight impunity. As long as we only complain about it and sit down and watch them do it, nothing will happen. God help us. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerians are more comfortable with insulting foreign messengers who are marveled and remind of our abnormalities.. Nigerians will also not fail to attack any Nigerian who also shouts out about our abnormalities (they accuse the person of also being a part of the rot and hence should shut up).. What Nigerians don't know is that no matter how hard we try to attack those who remind us of our woes, it doesnt change the fact that these issues exist... Every thing written in that article is a FACT... some dumbos will dwell on the UNILAG bit because their abnormality has temporarily switched off their ability to comprehend the use of hyperboles in emphasizing issues.. 6 Likes |

benbazus: [color=#006600][/color] The first step towards solving a problem is accepting there is a problem.. the bolded statement above is part of the genesis of most of our problems... #my neighbor has no right to scold my kids #my brother/sister has no right to scold talk less of spanking my kids #school teachers have no right to punish my kids Fast-forward a couple of years and the kids turn into monsters. If Nigerians must live in the US or anywhere else, then the citizens of that country reserve the rights to criticize us especially when we misbehave. 70% of mail scams in the world today originate from Nigeria or Nigerians... Coming up with the argument that scammers also exist in other parts of the world is absolute rubbish.. we are talking of statistics here... when a single country makes up a huge percentage of scammers worldwide, we have no choice but to accept it when they label us scammers... we ought to be ashamed of ourselves and look inwards to solve our problems or redeem whatever image we still have instead of picking on those outsiders who are bold enough to criticize us.. ...and to address ur claim that Nigeria isn't in the top 20 in cybercrime, I suggest u do a little research and educate urself on the categories of cybercrime that report talks about 2 Likes |

obailala: My Brother your reference to my reference is Non Sequitur. Diplomatically and otherwise another country be it their government or it's citizen do not have the right to criticize nor correct another country in anyway. It is only us (Nigerians) that reserve the right to bash ourselves and which we have been doing on this and other forums and we will continue to do. We have issues I agree but not to let somebody who has bigger issues to talk down on us. I challenge you to show us your source of statistics to prove that 70% of mail scams originate from Nigeria or are from Nigerians. Now which ever category of cyber crime you Google, American will always come out on top. Let me ask you a question. Which electronic crime on earth did not originate from US?. By accepting this labelling from this woman and by her assertion, you are a scammer, a car jacker, a kidnapper. 4 Likes |

It's funny how Nigerians can be so Hypocritical I guess we should all get a gold medal for never standing up for what is true. Pastors Lie Imams Lie Politicians Lie Parents Lie Children Lie What is so disturbing is that we are very quick to defend our own ''Hin na sharp guy'' ''everybody does it'' We have posted thousands of comments here attacking Ann Coutler calling her racist, it was unprofessional for her to have made that kind of dismissive submission about the generality of Nigerians but one thing is for sure her assessment are factually accurate. Their are two problems: Most Nigerians commenting have never been to the United States (I owe no one an apology, you have not been where you have not been period. It's not like the Yankee is even heaven once my people at Arik give me green light me I dey come house) Two major political figures have come out to bash our great nation in one week and we are here attributing it to simple racism. If those guys bring it up at all it's because they know it would get wide acceptance because majority of Americans already feel that way. Fellow Nigerians this Yahoo boy syndrome is killing us, let's not fool ourselves we did not exceed our Immigration quota the USCIS people just got tired of us and had us kicked out of the Diversity Visa Program and this is just a start Toefl and GMAT have gone in time we would not be eligible for some kinds of Visas I know this because I have been in an out of immigration court DHS causing me one drama or the other. There is no such person as 'Maga'. Maga is a hard working middle class American who was conned out of his/her saving by a scammer representing his or herself as a Nigerian prince. The painful part is Ghanaians and Kenyans would sit in their country and use the same trick but would not use their real nationality. Here we are taking blame for things we did not do. I get hundreds of those same e-mails and I send them curses, I'm sick and tired of Church members coming to be to advice them about a business proposal the got from a Nigerian. I'm sick of going to racetrack to buy gas and the Indian cussing at you cause he knows you are a Nigerian. A Japanese chic I was talking to asking if I knew anything about Yahoo Boys. One fool even sent Mitt Romney a scam mail. We can blame all we want but except we call a spade a spade and an noose a hangmans tool we would be committing the most unforgivable aberration: Fooling our own very selves. Millions of Dollars go out of this country by Western Union annually; the proceeds of fraud. Americans are wonderful people if they did to us what we did to them, we have kicked the whole lot to the curb, afterall what did the honest Ghanaian do to us in the 80's when we kicked them out? If you are in the group who attacked this fine young woman, go look yourself in the mirror what you would see is the face of a HYPOCRATE. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I feel so sad by this write-up all no thanks to the government of Nigeria. Corruption and stealing reign supreme from government officials to the common man on the street. Government officials loot the treasury at will and nothing is done. No justice, no jail term. A boy on the street will still a mobile phone and bagged 47 years jail term and those big men who stole billions of naira are given plea bargaining and asked to return peanuts. A serving minister is accused of receiving two amoured BMW cars worth $1.6 million dollars and nothing is done. We are here crying for a piece of article that was written about us as a nation. Clean the house called NIGERIA of corruption then we can be respected abroad. |
