It doesn't matter how Nigerians behave abroad, if that's how they behave at home.... the apple cannot fall away from the tree, therefore, unless Nigerian start to behave properly AT HOME, we can't expect them to be any different when they go abroad (unless you believe that foreign interactions is more important than our own)

Obeying simple instruction is not in our gene; A pedestrian bridge at Ojota, Lagos was divided in such a way that those coming down the bridge have a rail that divided them from those going up. In most cases when their side is busy you see guys/ladies using the other side.

We are not use to obeying laws

You are spot on. The same with leadership, so long as as we do not stand up to the pathetic level of leadership in the country, younger people would go into politics largely for the wrong reasons...(looting)

We have got to recalibrate our altitude in all facets.

If I should go to Germany, Paris and London to see what Yorubas have turned them into. Then, I'd go to Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, India, Kenya to see what Igbos have done. It goes both ways. But if you think otherwise, that's your business.

P.S. I'm Igbo.

You just messed up a perfectly good post with bigotry.
Too bad.

The usefulness is lost.

There's what is called perception and this plays a great role in how Nigerians are viewed outside the country. If a particular set of people commit certain crimes continually in a particular place, then the residents have every right to view these individuals in whatever way they like. Prior to 2006/7, Nigerians could go to Singapore visa free but when there was an increase in drug related crimes perpetrated by Nigerians in Singapore, she stopped the visa free policy and adopted stringent policies towards visa issuance to Nigerians. According to you, Singaporeans are insensible.

Black people are at the bottom of racial groups worldwide (believe it or not) and the last thing to worsen how others see you is to commit crimes or behave brutishly or become loud mouthed. Unlike so-called Nigerian intellectuals who make asinine comparisons to Russians or North Koreans for cyber crimes, I condemn them in its entirety. Why? Nigerians are black people and that's a leverage lost. So because Switzerland has criminals doesn't mean they will be treated like Nigerians. It sounds unfair but that's how the world is and is ridiculous to worsen the situation.

My advice stands: whenever a set of people who behave brutishly and are loud mouthed reside, it's best to disassociate oneself from them irrespective of national or ethnic links. I'm not the one who started the thread neither I'm the one who controls the perception of how Nigerians are viewed in Vietnam, China, Malaysia, or Cambodia. I'm not the one who makes asinine and inane comparisons to other countries' citizens when I know the leverage I have. I'm not immigration officials who set Nigerians at airports from other citizens for further investigation. I'm not the one who doesn't condemn crimes but rather blame unemployment even in the US. I'm not the one who export cult activities to foreign lands. But hey, whenever I see these people, I should associate with them.

Sadly, they care less about bad governance and looting, and they would only go to the street for Xenophobia in SA or when a certain pastor is accused of rape by some yeyebrities OR for some BS show called BBN.

Misplaced priorities.
