If it takes other people to tell Nigerians how they are perceived by others and exposed them, let it be. I think the best thing for Nigerians to do is, see the flaws, work on it, learn, and improve, instead of been in state of denial,  which even makes it worse.Giving excuses like, other people do it, it&#039;s actually stupid, because you will never learn. The reason Nigerians will be focused on the most, is because the country has so much resources, and so much that they can do, but yet do nothing. Why do other Africans hate Nigerians? Well, Nigerians have so much potentials, but keep screwing up, and they are angry about that, because Nigeria should  be rising up and helping others out. Why will westerners focus on Nigeria? Because they see so much that can be done in the country, but see stupid things like greed, failed government, voodoo, not managing their resources, division,  and these are things that  makes them so far behind. Also, whites wants to let people know, maybe they are born to rule, because if they don&#039;t, these are the kind of things that will be happening. They are some good Nigerians out there, but they are some pretty bad ones, that give Nigeria/Nigerians a bad name, and reputation. The bad is starting to outshine the good. It&#039;s not a stereotype. To think about it, there&#039;s always some truth to every stereotype. It&#039;s like portraying black guys as thugs, rappers, etc. Does that mean every single one of them, no. But when majority of negativity starts to outshine minority, it becomes a problem. Nigerians, instead of been so defensive, some of these people, are probably part of your relatives, criticize them, and let them know, you are not in support, even if they give you part of the money. I&#039;ve always said, if you don&#039;t want people to talk about you, don&#039;t put yourself in a place or do things, that will make people talk.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About time, they blow the covers of Nigerians, always tryna act like they are so perfect, and innocent.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.bellanaija.com/?p=8656#comment-38570</guid> <description>Everyone needs to chill out. This movie is an international movie that was marketed all over the world. Think about it...most people in the Western World have no idea which country is which in Africa. Sad but true. If you asked a North American to name 5 countries in Africa, I would bet my last nickel on one of the countries guessed would be Nigeria.This movie is ludicrous, ridiculous, hilarious in some parts and entirely fictional. It is a comment on humanity and apartheid. The reason they named Nigerians is because the white South Africans already had their role, the black South Africans were portrayed to be be united against the &#039;prawns&#039; with the whites as a clear political comment. Lets look at the fact that none of the humans in the movie were painted in a good light.They used Nigeria because it is recognizable country that has more money than other African nations and considerably less conflict. The movie is also making a comment on stereotypes. It is a stereotype that Nigerians are cons and crooks who will exploit people for money.It is clear when one watches the movie that the &#039;Nigerians&#039; are not quite Nigerian. They look as if they are a silly Haitian witch doctor stereotype ...not really Nigerian. I believe that was done on purpose.It is a silly movie and all viewers with half a brain are aware of it. No worries, the rest of the world doesn&#039;t think that Nigerians are cannibals that want to eat our arms or steal money for weaponry and that is precisely why they named Nigeria.They couldn&#039;t named the Congo or Sudan because that would have made the movie about their wars and struggles. They couldn&#039;t named Zimbabwe or Angola because that would have made the movie about previous conflicts that South Africa has had with each nation. They couldn&#039;t have named the Ethiopians because they are too impoverished to get to South Africa (which is a stereotype, I know). They couldn&#039;t have named Moroccans or Egyptians because that would have made the movie about Arabs. They couldn&#039;t have named Burundi, Burkina Faso or Benin etc. because people outside of Africa simply know nothing about those countries.Take care humans. The movie was offensive to Nigerians but not as much as people are making it out. Chill out.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone needs to chill out.

A question was thrown to us; if what depicted of us in District 9 isn&#039;t what we watch on our Nollywood movies everyday. Part of the major problems that we have as a country is shying away from the reality. Nigerians should continue to pretend that everything is just Ok. I wonder how many of similar films I had watched, even depicting America in a similar manner, the truth is, an opinion poll of Nigerians on the film will indicate a total indifferent. What is an Alien film gotta do with a hungry, homeless man? We have accepted the grave yard kind of peace for so long. The result is just what we are witnessing; horrible things! Special attention should be given to Korede and Uzo&#039;s comments. We must be sincere with ourselves, we have been fooled by our leaders for too long. Without us accepting our failure I seriously doubt it if we&#039;ll know where to start from.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am particularly amazed that some so called Nigerians could say a fellow human being is Mad or a bastard, just because he feels strongly about what he believes in.

Say the word Mafia, and the first thing that comes to mind is Italy.
Columbia and drugs, brazil and samba, orientals and &quot;shakpanshoo&quot;.
By and large the activities of the citizens of a nation will define it.
When our ladies run to Italy to prostitute, and send the money home, do we admonish them? No, we say they are hustlers. We turn a blind eye and relatives and family, &quot;collect their own&quot;. When our people make money from scamming embezzlement and corruption, do we condemn them? NO! Instead we give them awards and titles, as long as the &quot;settle us&quot;. We have individually and collectively sold our birthrights, and the right to be angry when people call us name. Almost everywhere Nigerians go a large number (not all mind you) manage to entrench themselves in nefarious activities. Unfortunately human beings will always remember the bad and not the good. And it will always take more of an effort to redeem your image.
Apart from the alien factor, there is nothing in district 9 that is not a staple of our home videos.
Who are we kidding? 99% of our home videos dwell on prostitution, vodoo, using of a loved one for sacrifice in order to procure wealth or power. I challenge anyone to randomly pick any 5 nollywood movies and not find scenes equally horrendous. Oh! So we can feel shame? But only when it is someone else that says what we say to ourselves and know to largely be true?
I was ashamed when i watched the movie (in yankee mind you) but i had to be honest with myself. We all, including the silent honest and hardworking majority brought this on ourselves.
And until every Nigerian wholeheartedly and totally condemns every and any Nigerian when the err, regardless of our relationship with them, and the risk to our benefiting from their &quot;success&quot; we deserve whatever the consequences of our complacency may be.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Say the word terrorist, and the first thing you think of is an Arab,<br

I dont think there is a single country in this world that doesnt have it&#039;s downside even South Africa. But its kind of pitiful when someone throws dust in your face and the peps in your home say well there was dust there anyway. Economic development begins with nationalisim, thinking as one, if this is the picture painted of us by some movie and some Nigerians say it&#039;s Okey.... then i have to ask if they are really Nigerians. No matter how bad your country is....stand up and fight for it...that what makes the difference between us and developed economies. Who says they dont have their skeletons, but i dont hear them saying yes the do and it is okey for somone to insult them. Nigeria is not perfect but it is still my country and i have chosen to stand up for it for better or worse and if i die trying at least i am better than all those of you who havent done anything but complian. I support whatever actions the government takes against sony at least it a statement that we wont stand this kind of slander. To the person who spoke about Yahooze and and i go chop your dollar, if i can recall i go chop your dollar was ban not because europeans or americans spoke against it but because the government felt it was wrong. Also be reminded the financial crime is bilateral, you should read some of those scam mails and honestly tell me if the recievers themselves are not courrupt, knowing fully well that the content of such mail. Nigerians sell drugs to who and where.....? Because drugs are not that common in Nigeria however i cant say the same for South Africa</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i read most of the post and all i can say is little wonder the country is the way it is.
