fuckerstard:Scammed? Nooo! Because I buy Rice stallion for N23k from Park N Shop and I go to another retail shop and see it for way less don't mean Park N Shop scammed me. You need to do your market research and negotiate. It's if you go back to the shop and find out that the guy who sold it to you pocketed the extra and gave the owner just N20k then wahala dey. But the writer got valid point and to be honest I can't disagree but the writer did not say all Nigerians nor only Nigerians are guilty |

enimooko: Your life must be very miserable, but take heart, that you can't survive without engaging in criminal does not make you a victim of the "white thief", it is your lack of creativity coupled with an enabling environment that makes you think that way. It is not your fault, if the police had been doing their job, who knows where you will be by now. 1 Like |

banmee: I'm guessing you are white.. Scratch that, I know you are white. And I'm not saying anything is wrong with that but I can tell by your F*ucked up way of reasoning you have a personal vendetta against Nigerians. Whoever wronged you is to blame not 180 million Nigerians. Some of us know the problem and are working hard to fix it. We are not all the same. Don't come up here trying to act like you know every single Nigerian cos you lived here. By the way, the world sees us the way we are because of people like you. You see a problem and you magnify it. Went through some of your posts, and I can't but ask What exactly did that Nigerian do to you? That said.. We see our problems and some of us are working towards making the country a better place. So, stop with the generalization. Unless you are racists, then your true plights will be understood. 2 Likes |

Except you are in Nigeria or where ever trying to do your bit to make things better, if not... please shut d f up. Even some are in diaspora typing shit and dont even have legal docs for their stay yet they are supporting trash.... Nigeria will get better irrespective of what. What we are going through now is transitional and trust me will pass....it will surely pass...Martin Luther King dreamed of the America you all enjoyed today, they were the heroes of the free system you all ran to. Someone has got to pay the price, in that light, for the few Nigerian who are not scammers but are branded as such we are offering our bit. Trust me we can flee ds country too, but then again we thought it through we are still here, we will remain here and things shall turn good for our kid's kids....that's the good news. 2 Likes |

fuckerstard: I don't care whatever anybody says about Nigeria. That's their perception and they may be right or wrong. However, if we are to analyse the issue of corruption in the country, we can trace it back to US, UK, Switzerland et al. I mean how can they encourage our leaders to invest stolen fund meant for the development of Nigeria in their countries and they have the gut to say Nigerians are corrupt. If we are then they are worse because they took our national wealth to develop their countries. Till tomorrow, Shell, Cheveron and others still steal our oils and help these corrupt elements to launder the wealth of our country. Shame to all of these countries and their citizens should stop criticising Nigerians because they are worse. On the other hand, they came to Africa and took our people away and turned them to slaves. They were chained, brutalised, killed (many were thrown in the atlantic for fishes to feed on). They have not apologised to us for all these atrocities against Black people rather they will say Nigerians or Africans are corrupt. The turn our people to what they are now and they should just keep quiet because they don't have moral ground to critisise us based on corruption. They did the same to China. I mean, what is the justification for dropping chemical weapon that killed thousands in Hiroshima during one of the world war. They should just keep quiet because they are worse. I am a victim too so I know what am saying. I was once scammed by a company owned by a Briton few years back and no one is helping us to recover our funds from this criminal. They want to be seen as saints but some of them too are as wicked as the lucifer. 1 Like |

InvertedHammer:While the statistics asserted by the writer is a fiction of his imagination, the point he intended to make is that Nigerians are as bad as they come and he is correct. Apart from the popular crimes such as drug dealing, scamming and armed robbery, the average Nigerian is criminally minded. Even those that are engaged in supposedly legit businesses use deceptive means to swindle their customers. The case of someone using the back of a tin to measure a cup of garri is one of such criminal activities. Collecting some sort of bribe and even giving is also a criminal act. These are some things that are very hard to live without doing in Nigeria because of how degenerate the country has become, so someone will not be wrong to say most Nigerians are criminals. 5 Likes |

Efewestern: Yes I totally agree that there are so many bad eggs in Nigeria.... Nd why are you rebuking the guy that said most of this acts were copied from the whites... Plz answer me is it a lie... Nd don't say "few white do fraud"...its a lie so many of them do fraud.... We are not stuck in this together... Aint u seeing that the easterners are clamouring for secession from this contraption call NIGERIA.... Bt the leaders are afraid because they won't meet their needs again...They keep shouting one nigeria like Nigeria can be one...#Mtchew Nigeria can never live as one peaceful entity...NEVER!!!!.... The whites are the same problem of Nigeria...They unified Nigeria because of a deluded business orientation they had using their machine and inflence to tie this country for over 55yrs now....And their stupid,, unreasoned decision has from inception plunge this country into diverse turbulence that will keep mutilating this nation till time immemorial...... We want to separate,,,everybody has the right to self determination...isn't?... Then why is the nigerian govt coveting its realisation,,why is the british themselves vehemently derailing it actualization..... IF they believe in no separation,,why then did they leave the european union.... Nigeria has expired as a country... We have to come together to dialogue if we can continue together or not...#PERIOD... |

whizpa: Ile Yoruba niwon tI to mi even though my parents aren't yoruba. I know the way you think because I lived there for a while. The simple truth is you don't understand the country you live or you are just a denialist. If you live in Nigeria you are corrupt. There is no ifs or buts about it. It is not really your fault because society forces it on you. You have a car and need to get to point B from point A but a policeman stops you and insists you give him bribe. Are you saying yout have never done that? I have seen where occupants in a bus heckle a bus driver to "settle" am make we go joo. Guy, wake up. The first step in solving a problem is recognizin that you have one. In 2080 you all I'll still be wondering why you are not moving forward at this rate. Smh |
