I've met very nice people from Nigeria. My closest friends are from there, they are all educated and well employed here in the US.
Their political system is similar to any country with tribal /sectarian influences, but the citizens on the whole are family and educationally oriented. They are enterprising with extra-ordinary aspirations to succeed.
Thousands of Nigerians live in the NY area, you can tell what their basic philosophy is by what you hear of those living in this country.
What have you heard about them? What do you know about them?

I have the impression that it is a very impoverished place with good, strong, spiritual people there. I have friends that are Nigerian and I'm always taken aback by the closeness they seem to have with one another--although they may be from different tribes and never met before coming to the states.
I got the impression ( from them ) that it is a place where family and honor mean a great deal. A place where one bad deed from one family member can bring shame on the entire family and sully the name.
I believe it's a place where people share their good fortune with one another instead of hoarding it for themselves.
I also imagine it to be a country of political corruption which takes from it's citizens to pad the pockets of the bureaucrats.

No idea about the place coz I've never been there but I met a Nigerian on the net a few months back and he kept asking me for money. I thought our friendship was getting along great and he does this all of a sudden. After I start ignoring him, he sent me offline cuss messages a lot and I mean a lot. The question would be, are other Nigerians like that guy?

Unfortunately parts of Africa are experiencing growing pains. There is a price to pay for not having a decent political and economic structure in place. I didn't like what I saw and read on the news.

used to be positive; negative now because it's been tainted by all the computer/money scams originating there.
