Doesn't matter, CM. You'd consider it unfair if all Brits were tarred with the same brush as the boorish drunks that infest charter flights to the Med at this time of year, so why do we have the right to do it to the Nigerians?
I don't think anyone on this thread has attempted to portray all Nigerians in the same light; just to point out the reality of despicable leadership, arrogance, comtempt and thievary that are commonplace in an oil-rich nation with no independent checks and balances.

Many Nigerians are perfectly normal and nice; however, following the example of their leaders are most people in any country do, there is a larger than normal proportion of utterly arrogant, despicable idiots in the poplace as a result.

To describe the above as racist bigotry is quite frankly PC tosh, particularly when as pointed out, people next door in Ghana of the same race are perfectly gentlemanly.
