I live and work in Sierra Leone. Nigerians have a very positive image here and there is a lot of love and appreciation to Nigerians for what we did to save the country during their civil war. Many big businesses are run by Nigerians and all the major banks are Nigerian (GTB, First Bank, EcoBank, UBA, Zenith etc.) 9 Likes 1 Share |

I have lived in the UAE and Qatar and most persons find Nigerians very loud. Loud in character and physicality. They think all black guy is Nigerian, so the ghaninans and other african nationalities certainly do not like Nigerians around lol. A nigerian can't live in an apt owned by a Ghanaian but the reverse isn't the case. It's just grace to exist amounts people who think negatively different about you 3 Likes 1 Share |

Lucas4903: What's your point exactly? Because Canada is diverse, every organization must have an African? Do you know the staff size of the guy's organization? The guy specifically said he lives in the most diverse city (he wasn't even emphasizing on the entire country), do you know if his office is in the same city? Do you even know the guy at all? If you had doubts, why not ask for clarifications instead of just coming online to call someone a lier based on assumptions just because you believe you have a fair knowledge of Canada? I have lived in Canada virtually all my life and yes, there are MANY organizations both in Quebec where I live and in many other provinces that do not have people from certain continents. It doesn't make Canada any less diverse. 9 Likes |

ablemachine: Mckore: Lol... you guys are really funny. The two expressions might mean the same thing but there's a slight difference. Let me explain on a lighter note: When one says something is not uncommon, the emphasy is on the fact that it is very common as against what people might believe. In other words, the expression "not uncommon" means "contrary to popular belief, they are common". But when one just says something is common, the emphasy is on that thing being discussed and not necessarily on any contrary belief. So I used the expression "not uncommon" as a way to emphatically invalidate or disprove the general belief that people out there always know one or two things about Nigeria. It was a carefully chosen choice of words, I wasn't just playing around. Nevertheless, sorry for any headache caused. 9 Likes 4 Shares |

I just sighed and said I don't know what is going about the numbers or the country. The last time, he spoke to me about the Turkish contractors kidnapped... That is Nigeria! 3 Likes |

I went to Sweden as an international M.Sc student. A lot of master's courses in Sweden are taught in English because, despite the fact that Swedish is their national language, they speak very good English. Ranked 3rd best in the world behind Britain, and Netherlands. Just as many suggested before, my classmates/lecturers were surprised that someone from Nigeria could speak English not to talk of fluently. This perception is mostly because East Africans (Somali, Ethiopia, Eritrea,Kenya and Uganda), who came here as refugees, dominate the African image in Sweden. Aswear, even we from Naija wey no too sabi English dey struggle to understand them, not to talk of Onyinbo. That said, Swedish people are easygoing, socially withdrawn and taciturn in nature. So they don't even give a damn about you as an immigrant. While you revel in the total freedom and personal dignity you are accorded here including their law enforcement, be rest assured that you could live here for a decade without making friends with a single native despite your proficiency in Swedish language. In conclusion, I don't want to rule out the fact that there are still some latent "microaggressions" (look for the meaning) which one can observe if they're the kinda people that pay attention to those. Which I don't have time for. E.g when you ask me did you say you're from (Niggar-ria) when I just told you Nigeria (Nai-ji-ria) I sabi wetin carry me come . So, I no dey look Uche face. 8 Likes |
