Only those that have been scammed by Nigerians care to know about the country just so they can avoid people from here. Much of the world have better things to worry about than a banana Republic in the midst of nowhere. We have NOTHING to offer the world so no one gives a damn about this failed country not even our next door neighbours- Chad, Cameroon, etc. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

Well, mine is off the point but related. Some of my goons came to Africa and by extension Nigeria for the first time, during one of the video calls to their friends back home one asked " but you said you were in Nigeria" ? And the question was because he saw nice houses in the background and sweet green trees and shrub, they even said they were not expecting to see Asphalt ![]() ![]() 44 Likes 2 Shares |

Having stayed 5yrs in Florence in Italy i figured out that the people are cautious of your place of identity the city houses many other nationals but the moment a black man is spotted there is an aura that flows so you have to do well to conduct yourself and project Positivity then you can earn the respect that would give you acceptance 37 Likes |

Caracta: Sorry ma'am. But as a Nigerian living in Nigeria, highly exposed to Nigeria (been to all 36 states, lived, schooled and worked in the west, north, middle-belt, south-south and south-east for a minimum of 6 years in each location) there are a few misconceptions you carry and some spot on. First of all we are financially morally deficient across board. (generations, classes, demographics, all) Yep, we are loud, boisterous, apt to speak, slow to listen and ruminate. Our cultures are ultra expressive. But no ma. Till now we do have animals all over the place. In cities, towns and villages domestication of animal husbandry is still part of the DNA of the average Nigerian. I visited an apartment building in a highbrow part of Abuja and was surprised to see poultry birds hoping up and down the staircases. You must be all too familiar with the farmers/herdsmen crises which is symptomatic of a cultural belief in the rights of animals to civil liberties. Till now human beings are still sacrificed for mystical powers and spiritual interventions in all parts of Nigeria, north to south, east to west. From grave robbing to kidnapping/murder for rituals, cannibalistic practices, underwear harvesting, and so on which are clear indications that ancient traditional occultic beliefs still hold sway. The human cadaver may not be sold at the high street supermarket or over the internet today but the statistics and incidents clearly point towards a strong underground belief. Finally and personally, I do agree with your friends that we not only eat too much, but eat very badly. What you described you ate is not just unhealthy but unsustainable and I do sincerely hope you begin to modify your diet before it becomes a habit/lifestyle. Cheers. 31 Likes 6 Shares |

Like some people have said, a lot of people don't know anything about Nigeria. However, I have met like 3 persons or so that have bad opinion about Nigerians- one of them has a cousin that her boyfriend (a Nigerian) used her account for fraud, another was a victim of online scam. The third attended college with some Nigerians and in her opinion, we are very competitive and loud. But overall, most don't even know where Nigeria is. But I think it may not be so in US and UK. Nigeria seems to be more popular in those two countries. 11 Likes |

11Anonymous: Lagos is not a great destination for R&R. Little to see, lots of negatives. Its like visiting New York or Mumbai for holidays. It takes a certain kind of tourist to do that. Lagos lacks ambience and tranquillity. 25 Likes |

I don't really care what they think about us, abroad, is where i get to learn, and develop, and remain focused, don't look for trouble or make any. Some say I look so black, one woman made such comment, ( the people there with me, were amused by her comment). Some don't know about Nigeria, but in conversations, i don't tell them i am Nigerian, unless they asked first. Some look at you weirdly, or call you black, i don't even pay attention, my mind is on development, Nigeria experiences has made me have a thick skin. Some misconceptions they may have probably we are all scammers, we are living in the stone age, they are amazed i look handsome ( but i don't care, i am here to develop, not about looks). 44 Likes 3 Shares |

I reside in the US and it’s been an awesome experience, my city happens to be a sanctuary city and shares boarder with Canada so we pretty much have a diverse group of people from around the world. So from my personal experience a lot of people really don’t care where you from, when they hear my accent nobody really cares to ask but some friendly ones go a lil over the board to ask where you from I just reply Africa, cos fr you don’t want to waste your time teaching them Africa is not a country but a continent. At my work place they had this perception of Africans been less fortunate and when we come over here all we did was work work work and send money back home to build huts and feed our village people who they feel are uneducated. Cut long story short, at my workplace a staff had told me some of my colleagues don’t like me cos they think I’m too quiet and not smart, but God pass devil only 6 months to joining this company I received a nomination for best staff and eventually won my nomination, this came with a good check ($$$) and my people you really had to see how my name went around, these same people who have been working with this company for over 6-10 years acting like they know too much never even got close to winning a nomination came to me asking how I did it. And I said it was God. I sha can’t forget this one...so on one special day while the office was quiet and everyone focused on the television someone tuned into the Dr. Phil’s show and this had to be my most embarrassing day at work, on the show came up this episode where some set of American women whom had all been scammed by Nigerian prince came for help cos family members knew they were being scammed and acting delusional....omo come see the way all eyes � come my side... had to tell them yea, we have scammers but it’s our politicians who made things go that bad that people gna have to lie to earn a living, and quickly my close friend supported me saying they have a lot of American scammers which they never talk about so he wouldn’t point no fingers, it’s was a lil bit relieving but I don’t think it changed anything..... So personally I like to keep it real simple working with them, no long conversation, most friends I make are hi and bye... and I strongly believe my hard work is beginning to change the mindset of my colleagues toward the way they see Nigerians. 108 Likes 11 Shares |

I interact with couple of them in the past Had a connection with this great people in the present Then I still got lot to work and have fun with in the future So far... They don't really talk about nigerians generally because they only speak on what they see... But as for me... Different race reviews on me... Whites, Dominican, Spanish, Italian, Canadian, Chinese and the Indians has been great so far... They love me.. They love the kind of man I am.. And they wanna keep hanging around and working with me... But when I ask... What do you think about Nigeria and Nigerians They say "Nigeria is a very popular black nation with lots of population and different culture.. Nigerians are funny people.. They are hardworking and can be romantic... They come here with porpose and can endure pressure... I Love My Country and whenever I hear this I'm so very proud of my Country God bless Nigeria.... 18 Likes |
