Who fed you with such kind of information that most Nigerians are scammers? Are you saying this from a fact point of view or you're just relying on what you've seen on the Internet to make this kind of statement?

Yep I got scammed by a Nigerian where I bought stuff online a but it never arrived and he just ignored any correspondence afterwards but thankfully the idiot left his gps coordinates on the photo of the item he had for sale so I managed to go fetch it. They only make up a tiny fraction of the population here also so what were the odds? I also worked with a Nigerian once and he was the worst rat on the planet going behind my back and telling the boss everything we were talking about in the canteen. Treacherous little spy he was.

You are judging a whole country based on your personal encounter with two of it's citizens that scammed you, I think it's very unfair. So what will happen if you perhaps encounters about ten Nigerians that are very pius, will you give the country a pass mark for having the most sincere people? If you carry out a proper research about Nigeria, you will find out that it has a population of over 200 million people and they can't all be scammers, as a matter of fact most Nigerians are sincere and hardworking people. If you talk about bad governance then I will agree with you, our leaders like the leaders of most countries are corrupt, so corruption is not limited to the Nigerian government alone.

Nigeria, is the giant of Africa, but truth be told, the country is presently a sleeping giant, thanks to it's leaders, not the average hardworking Nigerian.

Good evening. You have made a response that is out of context because I have not accused all Nigerian people of being scammers. I simply asked why are so many Nigerians scammers? A question is not an accusation and also asking why so many are does not imply that all are.

I could also ask why Romanians have a large amount of pick pockets roaming the streets of Europe but I am already aware that is part of Roma "culture" that is "culturally enriching" our European cities but I am curious as to how so many scammers originate from Nigeria?

This does not suggest or imply that all people from Romania or Nigeria are scammers.

Here let this be just one example of many that gives one explanation :

,but it does not give the perspective from a person who is Nigerian so I thought I would ask here instead unless it is off topic of course and then the moderator could decide.

Do you understand?
