My Naija peeps,
Ever since the news broke on this Bernie Maddof's scam (Ponzi, Hedge - same difference), how many Americans have you called up to talk about America being a land of scammers and how afraid you are to even talk to them or counting your money near them?
What?
None?
Exactly. You don't go around calling people names and you know the difference between one person's greed and a people's aspirations. Your Mama taught you better than that.
I am so proud of you.
The next time some e.diot gets in your face and wants to talk about some 'Nigerian' scams or what not, just look at him from head to toe (you know how) and let out one of those famous long hisses or just pronounce him 'F-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-l' in your best Talab Abass voice.
Better still, you can just re-brand his face with a dirty slap.
[At your own risk sha]

lol @ rebranding someones face with a slap...

hahaha.
Exactly. I will apply your suggestion and let you know the result. Hopefully it won't be after they have taken a mugshot, sha.
Lol. Very well said. Nigerians would hardly ever talk down others except their own kin so I hope they take your advice.
@Kafo: First you are indeed. [Bell-o-blessings]. That's why there is a caveat. Many thanx for your comments.
@Speza: You think so?
@Chairlady: Real good memories too. I just had that voice in my head all day long. Many thanx.
@JustT: No go try am o.
@Sydelle: Abeg o! Before they now come and say Naija peeps are going round 're-branding' people. Well, I have put a caveat sha. Many thanx for your comments.
@Artsville: Of course, we too get 'home training' when it comes to outsiders but are so quick to run down our own, even without provocation. May GOD help all of us. Many thanx.
Well yarned,N.I.M.M.O.....
I guess thats why they'v decided to let the word-419-rest a bit...
"...some e.diot gets in your face and wants to talk..." unfortunately many of this class are full breed Nigerians themselves.
In that case, i would rather 'you not even dignify them with a response whatsoever'. They will be so shocked 'cos they simply will not believe.
By the time that happens a couple time, one of two will happen; they either stop peddling dishonourable thots about our dear nation or they simply go about celebrating the gospel of good moments (times & thing) of Nigeria.
lol. couldnt agree more, especially wit the re-branding bit
...lol...hilarious...too bad i don't even know what scams you are talking about...that's deep my head has been buried in the books!...sad, i know!...but i totally agree with you...
let the rebranding begin.
Not in your what?
LOL, no be small rebrand face with a slap. You know what's crazy cos my coworker just tried to talk about Nigerians, talking about he saw us on NBC Dateline. I said ehn, Americans kwa are GREEDY. How is someone gonna email you talking bout do this 3 million dollar transfer and you'll get $30,000 and you fall for that chit. That right there is Greed.
Make dem leave tori for tortoise.
lol! I love your straight-handness in this post. yes, my mama taught me better. Absolutely love this post.
