Why abuse and haul invective at this woman for baring it the way she observed it? Let's all change and create a better Nigeria. It is so sad that we have become "threatened specie" the world over from xenophobic attack in South Africa to India even to our neighbor Ghana. It is a habit of many Nigerians to never want to "cook" but want to "eat", not wanting to manufacture but use, not wanting to build but import, not wanting processes and procedures but craving for miracles, not ready to take responsibility for our actions instead call on God to fix it as if God fixed America, China and Sweden with 80% of her population as atheists. Let us start from feeding ourselves...Let us build MotherNigeria. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

At the risk of sounding unpatriotic, I kinda agree with the Lindsay person and the other Nigerian guy that wrote an epistle. Go to the banks, we can't maintain ordinary queue! On the road n ko? Most people are in a hurry going to nowhere in particular. Even an ordinary sales girl in a small store is looking for a way to steal from her boss' small money! Not all Nigerians are corrupt, lazy, dubious and inherently bad, but let's be real, an extremely large percentage exhibit the traits. It breaks my heart when I see articles like these where they generalize, but I think it's about time we start changing our orientation as Nigerians. If most people in the world think we are bad, doesn't that show that something is wrong somewhere? The change begins with us as individuals. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

fratermathy:Let's call a spade a spade. Nigeria is a f*cked country, covering it isn't patrotism and we can't really blame these foreigners for this fallacious generalisation. Myself for example if I should hear of an Afghan or Iraqi citizen, first thing that will come to my mind 8s terrorism and this doesn't mean all of them are terrorists it is just what we have been known for. Nigerians are even disgracing the whole of Africa as a whole,Corrupt government at all levels , greedy youths. This is no racism. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Some of what the blogger said is true about Nigerians but I think Americans are more evil than Nigerians. I watch a lot of Investigation Discovery on Dstv and I can boldly say that Nigerians are better than Americans 3 Likes |

fratermathy: Minority you say. Ok. I don't think you understand the country you live in. Are we not talking about a country where a policeman can stand confidently in public and collect, nay, demand bribe in full view of the world and nothing happens? Try that shiit in Germany, the U.S, France etc and see what happens to you. You will spend a better part of you life behind bars. This culture can only exist if most Nigerians, if not all, are corrupt. This is a country where you are not respected unless you are a "sharp" guy which is why only criminals opt for public office. Guy, wake up. The OP knows knows what she/he is talking about. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

This article is painfully true. Every point she raised in the article and those from that Nigerian's comment struck their target with precision. Let's look at our local online shops for example... Why was pay on delivery introduced? Nigerians didnt trust the shops because everybody na scammer. Why was the pay on delivery method recently scrapped? The online shops were now getting fhucked on delivery. In a country where hushpuppi is a motivational speaker and someone like Saraki is the highest law making official in the land and even commisioning anti-corruption books... Nigeria is lost. Let us be brutally honest with ourselves. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

Lots of Nigerians are honest, hard-working people. Unfortunately their reputation has been tainted to a large extent by the 419 people. Once you step abroad, the green passport invites extra scrutiny, detention etc. Even a- times you pay for items and the cash you present are double checked for fakes! All manner of things meant to show you, you aren't to be trusted simply because of these yahoo people. And unfortunately within Nigeria itself, the Yahoo thing is seen almost as legitimate work. Except you get caught. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

The OP is 100% RIGHT. the best way to die in Nigeria right now is to ask a Nigerian business man (real or fake) to manage a procurement (budget) department. 99% of Nigerians will steal from their employers and even pay tithe on such criminal proceeds.. You can't even open a shop in peace again...hire as many as you can, they will always look for a way to rob you. I used to have a neighbor that own a bar.. the guy's business shut down in the 4th month cos the women he employed sold the beers and pocketed the money. I remember telling a friend back in the days to help me get a material.. He came back asking for N12k... I later discovered that same material was bought by him at N4500. That was the last time I spoke to him. It is really a difficult task finding trustworthy Nigerians. It is worst in the cities, while we still have a few honest persons, majority are criminals, and unfortunately, the majority always find their ways to the sit of power - main reason Nigeria may never GROW forever. Just few weeks ago, I made an attempt to contact a foreign site to learn more about a biz. What I found while still surfing the site shocked me. I had to bury the thought of going further to contact the admin. With evil tendencies and capabilities of unfortunate souls like these, what does the future holds for us? Nigerians will destroy Nigeria with their own hands. Blaming the whites for a collective crime majority commit is even stup!d to imagine. The last time I discussed the idea of a cyber cafe with someone, he told me to "settle" the police cos they always go after cyber cafe owners. He simply assumed I wanted one for yahoo biz. That's how criminal minded we are today. Don't Nigerians marry for green cards? Don't we steal from foreigners and locals with laptops? Aren't we always looking for a way to rob "expatriates"? Put on a white skin and land in MMA, and everyone, including the airport taxi guy would begin to look for a way to "chop and clean mouth". Truth is bitter, however, truth must be spoken! 28 Likes 2 Shares

I agree with most, a lot of generalisation in the article. but guys, let us all be honest with ourselves. We are one terrible people. 80% of us are guilty of these things mentioned. We lie, we cheat, we take advantage. Hell just try to build a house and you will understand. The politicians arer not even better. The sooner we accept this and start to do something about it, the better the country image will get rather than attack the person writting this (because some of these things in the article is what most westerners think anyway). 10 Likes |
