so you just woke up this morning and decided to come one here and slander Nigerians in diaspora right? Just because you live in ivory coast doesn't give you the right to judge nigerians in diaspora. Go back to your shitty country Nigeria if you can't cope with Igbo and yoruba abroad. Get a life too because I see you committing suicide soon if you keep up with these level of hatred.

Am sorry, you don't have to blame me if your parents didn't have money to take you to school to learn how to read and understand. But be that as it already is, try as much as possible to educate yourself properly in a way that your could live a humble and respectful life. Trust me it will take you a very long way. Please try as much as possible to do this before you clock 40years because I believe you might have heard a popular saying about something at 40 that remains that same thing forever.

Oh please save that cliche for unexposed cavemen and women that are here,not Me!
Even for Europe men still dey buy Benz,even whites and Japanese dey buy Benz steady.so enough with the neighbourhood BS.
I know better,trust me.
Besides my question was generic,not directed at you.
Why do Ivorians drive 25+ year old cars as standard if their lives were so better and glamorous?
Simple!it is very expensive for very poor people like them.Na constant light na there life end?
Bros,I am no grass to grace you hear?so save your sanctimony.
If I show you a little of my "Grass" like you claim,you fit humble las las...

I can bet you stay in CIV as well

Back home it's worse ,some of us liter the street and even disobey traffic light .I was inside one ' keke' one day the driver drove pass while the red light was on...I tried to let him know it'was wrong.He was angry and some people inside supported him that he's not the only person that do that.

You see am?

MrBrownJay1:


So because other nationalities (or some Brits) may be doing the same, we shouldn't state a fact about what most NIGERIANS who emigrated do?!?!?! Come on bro....

What I am saying is that everyone who is new to a country act a certain way until they climatice with the norms of the new society. Speaking loud isn't a crime last time I checked and everyone excuses that lil differences in culture, those who are tolerant.

You're runealistic, and going by your impression, Nigerians are a problem to society (UK) and I'm telling you they're not and the other guy is telling you they're not. And we looking in from the outside.

Your comparison is unfair because people of other societies who are "new" are also guilty of the petty accusations you're making.

Fraud was the biggest problem and that was dealt with and is still dealt with anything else is social issues and those change with time as you already admitted.

You claim Ivorians lived right and life is so good there.
So I asked why they drive ancient cars na,no be so again?
The car that killed ARAFAT driven by a journalist was a 23year old cheap,knockdown ford focus.
Can you see a Nigerian journalist drive that?
Electricity is not everything my friend.
Stop making this about you.
Crime?It is impossible for you to buy and run a Benz in CIV.We know it will cost you ×3 of what it will cost you in Nigeria to buy and run it,that's why you don't have it,not because you don't need it.
ABI you be monk?

Ok

Trash!!

You ran so you didn’t get a chance to actually be the calm guy and prevent the situation from escalating

I don’t blame you but that’s what we all do but do you think about how things may have changed if you didn’t run? He probably was not legal and didn’t have an ID the fact of the matter is upbringing goes a long way . This is not to say we will not get angry once in a while but it’s to say it will not let us feel to pompous to realize our mistakes.

Have you followed up? called to see if he’s okay it’s easy to tell the story but way harder to change the narrative and you could have by staying.

I’m a proud Igbo woman and I will not slander anyone because life generally in Nigeria or anywhere in the world has its challenges. I will not say based on what I hear a particular tribe is guilty of this behavior it is judgmental to me on OPs part it’s one experience.

I don’t think people willingly commit crimes or decide to be deviant its a test from God honestly will you get it the tried and true way or will you get it the dubious way. The choice is always yours

OP, You Want Me To Read This Epistle

Buhari is right after all. Lazy youth!

safarigirl:
Some complaints here are petty and unnecessary

The fellow that did not want to give his ID probably had valid reasons you are blissfully unaware of, for not giving that ID. Just because you decided to be a good little boy and sit on the ground for thw police doesn't mean everybody should do same.

And this one you came here to report all the ethnic groups in Nigeria from the abroad, you, what are the negative traits you have equally exhibited there? It is easy to report others, while parading yourself as an epitome of a law-abiding citizen.

You are a potential menace the guy is talking about. Show your ID first, and then, claim your rights. And u don't claim your rights by shouting like a market woman, file a formal complaint.

AgreatMan:

Who was shouting? Were you there?

Some of you will just come and read one random explanation from any random person and run with it.

The guy that is talking is a potential menace to himself and those around him. I hope he has found a place to stay, rather than hopping from one foreign country to another and looking for Nigerians to feed him, after which, he will come online and accuse them of all sorts of things, so that people like you will make conclusions based on one-sided stories.

I have complained numerously of the terrible behavior Nigerians have in general, but I have enough sense to not take everything I see on the internet as gospel. This OP's post is for gullible minds to digest and feel smart for three minutes.

The sheer amount of vitriol in that post is nauseating. How can he say "I'm sure he must have been deported by now.....blah blah blah"....OP sounds like a pained hater half the time, who can't understand why these poorly behaved Nigerians are doing better for themselves abroad, than his law-abiding self.

armyofone:
You talk well, stay blessed.
You have to be level headed and calm to live in western countries. There ain't no room for defensiveness, jaguda and agberoism. May we be filled with calm at all times.

nothing in his post says he was ever in any Western country.

As for me what the OP said is at least 90% true , Nigerians living abroad are terrible people and it's so annoying what with their Braggart characters .

I read a lot of comments of the foolish igbo guys here blasting the OP cos they don't like hearing the truth which can be a very bitter pill to swallow.

Moreover, how do you know that they are doing better than the OP,? nothing like vitriol in his writeup, fact remains that you guys are terrible abroad.I am pretty sure your one of them loud mouthed people.

Ndigbo,Yorubas and any other Nigerian living abroad should be humble and obey the laws of their host.

It's as simple as that.

UjuJoan2:
That's how one hospital in Texas started rejecting Nigerian mothers coming for childbirth. 'Big women' talking to nurses rudely because they came to give birth on America. Nobody told them that American nurses are not hungry and unprofessional like Nigerian nurses. By the time they were all blacklisted their eyes opened.

Yeye people!

Wait! Shouldn't that make them more humble?

Being privileged to give birth in a country with good healthcare. Na wa

blackmantis:

He mentioned BOTH that way nobody can accuse him off anything

I don't know why it's difficult for some Nigerians to obey simple instructions...

TempleHouse:
Most Nigerians home and abroad are guilty of grandstanding and it's quite a national epidemics, to be honest.
Bragging, boasting and showing off is a national embarrassment to which most Nigerians are fond of.
The Yorubas living in London are the worst culprit I have seen Yoruba men and women speaking inside the public Buses boasting about Babalawo and Sexual capabilities inside the buses with a loud voice with absolute disregard for other people.
Maybe, it's a way of getting attention that they're no longer illegal immigrants after so many wasted years.

Lol how do you know they aren't illegal immigrants? Those loud mouths are often illegal.

YorubaNinja:


Chai... Okoro man, so typical of dem. Just imagine dis one?

He is saying the truth.
Listen to 2 or more yorubas converse,you'd thing they're quarreling.

This is one of them

A wise man once said just because you can swim does not mean you should jump into the Atlantic on a cold winter night . I read the epistle and all I can see is a person of limited exposure claiming to have seen it all. First of all, what do you mean by host citizens? Majority of these countries are nations of immigrants, this means immigrants represents majority of the population. So who's the host? As long as you've gotten your citizenship, you have every right as non naturalized citizens. Please let's stop this behavior of generalization, why is it that Nigerians are experts in putting their own people down? Why is it that you ignore where Nigerians are contributing meaningfully in the space of science, Engineering, Medicine and so on, the positive contributions far outweighs the negative ones if you truly look at it from an economical perspective.Don't let your experience shape you into thinking the world is as far as you can see, it's much more bigger than that!

frosbel2:


I live in the UK , outside London , and ALL the Nigerians I know behave very well. There are cases of Nigerians behaving loudly in London , but[b] this is the exception rather than the norm.[/b]
