Vixlot: The problem with most Nigerians is that they are greedy, they are never contented with what they have and they will stop at nothing to get it. Lying is embedded in their DNA. Also they don’t know how to follow rules and they are very arrogant and pretentious, always using religion to cover up. They lie for even the simplest thing like good morning. I have interacted with many other Africans and they are nothing like Nigerians. Anyone who is not contented with what they have will never be contented even if they own the world. These individuals then go on to be rulers and that’s why the country is in a big mess. |

If all London citizens migrated to Nigeria, In no time, Nigeria will become London.. If all Nigeria citizens migrated to London then sooner dan later London will become Nigeria.. |

duro4chang:What you said is very very correct. If the motivation for doing what is right is fear of punishment, not much can be achieved. But my dear, the stage Nigeria has gotten to right now is such that even the good ones want to see at least a quantum of justice done. Our kind of corruption is so brazen such that if it is said in saner climes it would be very difficult to believe. Because the syndrome has cut across all lines, syndicated kind of corruption has easily become the norm. It is as bad as that right now. Hence the institutions would need to be strenghtened to let people know that there are consequences for fraudulent acts. |

Vixlot:But of a truth, many other African citizens don't stress like Nigerians do, Nigerians are so worried , agitated, stressed and looses their composure cos of the need for money. I have met Namibians that are extremely happy with what they have. |

Are we still aware that we have many foreigners on this forum? The way we bring everything bad about us to the public is disturbing. Nigeria maybe bad but there are still a handful of sincere Nigerians. Even in that your Zimbabwe, there are still some bad people among them. Let's learn to keep certain things only for ourselves |

Everyone in Naija belives in street smartness and which has been our greatest doom even in our choice of leaders. Some people on this platform will even consider the Zimb guy as not street smart. That is why the name Nigeria holds no integrity to some foreigners just because of the atrocities of a handful of people destroying our reputation. |

euromilion: I disagree with you I have stayed in both countries for more than four years each. In South Africa if you overstay your visa it is a criminal offence. This is why zimbabweans have a high number of criminal offences in South Africa. Also if you look at it the last xenophobia attacks when they say 3 zimbabweans who killed did you know on investigation they found out their passports were fake and they found out that three of them were Nigerians with fake Zimbabwean passport. Just look at the the last xenophobia attack what started it , it was a Nigerian who shot the bus driver but with a fake Tanzanian passport. This is the problem in South Africa and southern African countries a lot of the Citizens committing crime in these countries including South Africa are not even from Southern Africa they are just using fake passports to commit crime |

I and my friends would do this selflessly except we chose to not help, but in as much we chose to help, honesty is the key. There are still many good Nigerians but just as the regular yoruba saying 'eniyan buburu ti ba eniyan rere je', indirectly could mean the bad ones have spoilt the image of good ones. |

[b]I have been suspected and severally interrogated just because I carried Nigeria passport. This has happened in unrelated places, not because of what I have done but because of where I come from. [/b] People with your kind of mentality are the reason why Nigerians are profiled abroad, did it occur to you that you just labeled Nigerians criminals on international platform such as Nairaland? people like you are the reason while other nationals see us as criminals, there are good and bad people everywhere, I have personally lost counts on Number of good Nigerians I have encounter in my life, a Nigeria woman just returned the sum of N14m mistakenly transferred to her account... |

jcross19:Our government at all levels do not come from another continent. Not from hell not from other countries. Are they not part and parcel of us. We elect them,we select them,we praise them,we insult people because of them. We kill and main because of them.Come to think of it, those who are in power today we're not there yesterday,this is how they were also saying about those who were in power yesterday. Now that they are in power are they doing things differently? If you also continue like this ,you will also behave like them when you get into position of authority. Stop blaming government and do your own part. 1 Like |
