Have any of you ever been to Nigeria or know anyone from Nigeria. I know it's all in fun but some of you posts seem rather immature and uninformed.

It only hurts when it strikes too close to the truth.

I concur, I just get the feeling alot of these posts are knee jerk reactions from people who have had fleeting interactions and anecdotal experiences. I just think that sometimes there are people and organisations trying thier very best to change certain things, and it is very frustrating when things like this happen.

I happen to know a number of Nigerians who are neither prostitutes nor con men. This is not to say that all of them are like that, but one should never encourage stereotypes.

Steretypes are always rooted in truth, and while its commendable for the Nigerian government to try and change its image, part of that process of change is learning to accept criticism and embrace free speech.

I'm probably being a bit insensitive btw :P
