Nigerian Image Abroad....

Its about time Nigerian embassy and we all here try to make effort to reduce all these rubbish they say about Nigeria! NOT ALL OF US ARE BAD!! AND WHOMEVER IS DUPED ala 419 is also a GREEDY PERSON!! Kapish!!!

Its about time we all start bombarding CNN, Oprah and the likes that are painting us with dirt with protest emails!!

In fact, we should cut the time we spend on facebook and other Online forum into half and use the remaining half to send thousands of emails to all the popular media emails addresses to stop these rubbish!!! They will definitely think twice!!!

Its about time we stand up and be heard!!
No one would dare write trash about some other races and tribes because their people will call/.email/ and use protest placards to bombard the office of the perpetrators!!

BUT we, Nigerians, when we see it, all we do is just hiss or move on! And the rubbish keeps sticking on it!
How many of us business people have been denied a financial transaction just because we're Nigerians?! Not fair at all!!!..

I saw a post by someone on Facebook about what Oprah said about Nigerians. I love Oprah and I truly hope she didn't make such a Stereotypical comment about Nigerians in general! Because not all of us are 419ers!!

Sure, some people dupe others via 419, but the 'dupees' are GREEDY too, or they wouldn't have been duped in the first place! How does someone tell you that his father was the horrible dictator and embezzling former president of Nigeria who stashed away millions of naira somewhere and he needs to launder the money to US and need your bank account to commit this federal crime and you willingly give them your bank account to help them dupe Nigeria!!! Duh!!!! And they ask your to send them some money from your account to 'test' your account and you really do so!!! Double duh!!!! How gullible and stupid!! And for the women that are promised marriage from across the Atlantic ocean and truly agree!!! C'mon now!!!!!! The man you see face-to-face from across your street is dubious and you really have to look well to make the relationship work, so, how do you imagine that the man you talk to on the phone who is desperate to relocate to USA loves you?!!!

In as much as I detest the 419ers, I laugh sometimes at the stupid stuff they entice people with, because even common sense and self-defense should alert some people that some things are JUST NOT REAL!! If it is too good to be true, it probably isnt! Kapish!

I have been doing my research to find out what Oprah actually said and am yet to discover it. Other than the Punch article, there is no mention about the statement, only bloggers and online outlets have discussed it.

Oh well. Nice blog!
