Computers / Re: Norton Antivirus Stereotypes Nigeria by cb917d: 5:43am On Dec 14, 2014
I contacted Norton support to bring their attention to this and the following is the conversation that ensued. I would like to read your reactions to this topic.

Computers / Norton Antivirus Stereotypes Nigeria by cb917d: 5:38am On Dec 14, 2014
I find this ugly marketing tactic used by Norton Antivirus (Symantec) disappointing, shameful and so 1990. Shameful not for my country of origin, Nigeria but shameful for an organisation as big and global as Norton to embark on such cheap and unprofessional marketing campaign to win users over subscription. I wasn't any surprised this issue had been previously raised when I searched online but surprised the company has chosen to ignore and keep pushing the renewal alerts on the computer screens of their millions of users for more than a year.

Just a few hours before this event and my posting this topic, I got a delivery and the delivery man, of Somali origin thought he could throw some cheap shots at me and at Nigerians in general because he had waited outside longer than normal for about 5 min before I answered the doorbell. My response to him is not worthy to appear here but he would wish he was never born.

Now my question is, why wasn't phrases like "Russian hackers", "Chinese spyware", "German virus" or the negative mention of these countries used? Obviously because they give a hoot about offending powerful countries as those and won't lose a wink of sleep when Nigerians or the Nigerian government gets offended. I see from the previous topic (similar outbursts which will most likely follow this post) that some let themselves and their country open to attacks, whether physical, verbal, or expressive, implied or explicit from foreign nationals or organisations and for that fact entertain stereotyping, not knowing that it only breeds further intimidation and discrimination. No one can oppress you without your permission. I hope Nigerians start becoming sensitive, reactive and at least fake some pride because monkey no fine, hin mama like am.

Attached: The renewal alert and previous topic.

dadaic: This is a huge shame,...You copied David Guetta's beat and claim you have done something for yourself.. You are just like your dad, you must have bribed Guetta for this beat, now i am wondering who is doing a video clip to show the world if Guetta actually denies it.

You must be very very deprived that is to say omo ko ri ola ri. Hater oshi. Why u no go attack Jimmy Jatt for remixing D'banj beat. Ignoramus!

Travel / Re: Visitors From Nigeria To UK To Pay £3000 Bond Before Entry by cb917d: 5:35pm On Jun 23, 2013
Alfa Seltzer: If you have 3000 pounds, please start a business in Nigeria. Any business. Don't go and waste away in England.

Don't be ignorant. It's a bond not a fee, of course you'll get your money back if you return home which you're expected to, hence you're not throwing the £3000 away. By the way, such system exists in South Africa alias repatriation fee. Imagine even our own African counterpart imposes such system on other African nations. No blame game, it is what it is.

Celebrities / Re: Fake Kim Kardashian Tweet Causes Uproar On Twitter by cb917d: 11:41am On Mar 27, 2013
hornipipe: The so called 'leaders of tomorrow' couldn't carry out a lil research to find out if she actually tweeted that before coming on here to insult her? undecided
The ignorance and stupiditŷ displayed on this thread is unbelievable.

Well said. Ignorant and stvpid people reply to this thread blindly. By your reactions on NL, likes, shares on FB, you're actually letting the initiator of this fake tweet realize his/her aim. And to your disbelief, you've earned her (Kim) even more followers, yeah just like that yeye boy that was assaulted by Hazard of Chelsea.
