Nigeria as Brand in the Diaspora


#Nigeria

#Diaspora


Nigerians in the diaspora have a big war to fight which is what I call the "image" fight. If you're outside Nigeria or you have ever lived outside Nigeria then you will understand that our image outside Nigeria has been conterminated badly and that is why it is a war we Nigerians have to fight. In August,2019 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicted eighty people for what it described as “the largest case of online fraud in U.S. history.” Seventy-seven of them were Nigerians. Separately, also indicted for computer and wire fraud. This crime's has affected most Nigeria's living abroad.There is little question that Nigeria is damaged by its international reputation for fraud. It contributes to the reluctance of international investors to acquire Nigerian partners. 


On the other hand, Nigeria has a population of about 200 million people, most of whom are poor and struggling to make a living. They pay a price for the criminality of a small class of privileged people involved in fraud. You may want to ask, what the giant of Africa needs at this kind of time, struggling with insecurity, incessant kidnappings, Boko haram which is popular worldwide as one of the deadliest terrorist in the history of Nigeria today. And most of this situation hinders international investors coming into this great country to invest and which has caused a high rise of unemployment and the federal government of Nigeria cannot provide job for every graduate which has caused alot of young people searching for greener pastures elsewhere and it has also caused the rise in insecurity in the country. The Federal Government has declared that no fewer than 17 million Nigerian are currently living in various countries of the world, while report also showed that about 36,000 Nigeria immigrants arrived Europe by sea. 
We have a reputation to build outside Nigeria and also an image war to fight. Please Nigerians in diaspora let's fight this fight and win this "image" fight, stay away from fraud, drug's trafficking and what ever illegal deal that will affect hard working Nigerians in the diaspora.

Please share if you love your country 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Can peaceful coexistence be achieved in Nigeria

Nigeria is a nation blessed with so many cultures, traditions and it's the most populous black nation on earth. One will wonder how the nation survive with numerous languages and also way of communication. English has been classified as the number one language accepted by Nigerians for communication but one will also want to know if the whole population of Nigeria(180 million)  can speak English fluently for communication but I will rather say only 53 million Nigerians can speak English. One might say difference in language has not affect the effectiveness of business. But looking at other African countries enjoy more of peace and tranquility than Nigeria, because having different religions and traditions put a treat to peaceful coexistence in a country. Looking at the 36 state in Nigeria, only the state that are situated in the north suffer religions crises because most state that experience this challenges are having Muslims 50% and Christians 50% or a little difference in the pe...

Stop jungle justice and save an innocent soul

Jungle justice has emerged as the most acceptable means of passing out justice by mobs in Nigerian different cities, could this be the best means of purnishment? This brutal act has sent so many innocent citizens to their early grave because you won't be giving  the opportunity to say what you know, whether you're innocent or not you stand the chance of been burnt alive. But one may ask if the Nigerian government is in support of that barbaric act, as a nation the paramount duty of the legislature and judiciary has been abused. Talking of guiltiness of a particular crime, the persecutors(mobs) are also guilty of some hidden crimes or is it because their crimes haven't been brought out to lime light? You don't have the right to kill, even in the olding days they have the judges who will try you and see if you're guilty or not and you will be hanged when found guilty, but people behave like animals in this 21st century. Can the Nigerian government take this cas...
