But you know all na freedom of speech. I personally think the ad is pretty funny and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Sony weren't intending to be malicious or anything like that.
Back in the day, Nigeria was popular to most of the west for Jay Jay Okocha and the Super Eagles to name a few lol It's not Sony's fault that Nigeria is now mostly knows for stuvs like 419 scams.
I'm big on gaming and can't wait to get my hands on the new playstation 3 slim
i can see that games has affected ur brain that u cant see what that insult can cost ur nationality wich is ur identity how hold are u?, i think this is problem of joblessness..

It is sad that Sony a well-known company had done this. Nigerians have bad reputation and to enhance it in this commercial only make the matter worse. I have been taken to task whenever I spoke about my Nigerian boyfriend. Every friends I have here on the internet and in Jamaica are against it. The Government of Nigeria need to sue Sony because it will become a norm for everyone who is making a commercial. I agree that every countries have corruption but the Government of Nigeria is not looking after their citizens. Also the bad apples are making it even worse by constantly doing the things that are creating a disgrace. Jamaica was once at the stage where Nigeria is now where no one trusted us but it was overturn when the good ones tried and make positive impact on the world stage. Nigeria can rebound if Nigerians really want this to happen. Stop marrying foreigners and leaving them as soon as you gain citizenship. Stop scamming unsuspected persons etc. All of my Nigerians friends are nice persons and it will take you all to work together to bring back the integrity of your name.
Godly WISDOM is to Fear God. His UNDERSTANDING is to resist the devil.

. Video interview of Mike Wallace saying Nigeria is probably the most corrupt country in Africa and probably even the world. Louis Farrakhan does not hesitate coming to Nigeria's defense and finishes Mike Wallace right there and then in the interview...pretty awesome:
. Popular Nigerian artist Okpechi releases a song titled "I go chop your dolla" that in the guise of being funny actually glorifies the act of 419 and pretty much advocates scamming dumb westerners. The track is a hit in Naija and probably left a lasting impression on young Nigerians:
. With emails being sent around the world about Nigerian princes needing help laundering money out of the country, Nigeria becomes synonymous on a global level with the infamous scam to the point that Hollywood is even thinking about making a movie about it:
. SONY releases a funny ad for the PS3 slim that briefly references the scam, seeing that the Nigerian Letter has become a lasting meme in internet culture.
It's been quite interesting checking out all the reactions to this. Now lets see what the Naija govt and us Nigerians do to take responsibility for making a positive change in Nigeria besides throwing tantrums when a commercial states the obvious and making songs praising 419.
Wonder what's going to happen if Ben Stiller actually makes that 419 movie...don't think it will even be half as bad to how District-9 portrayed Nigerians in South Africa.
Wetin?

I think that Nigeria should sue them. We cant let Sony talk sh*t about Nigeria. If they don't act then other countries will think that they can do the same thing too.

hayjay75, there is no need to call each other uncomplimentary names. The fact of the case is that, The Minister who is talking now, is she not part of the people who let this kind of advert to happens in the first place? without SONY, go to the internet engine, either google, MSN or any of the engines and put SCAM, Nigerian name will come up more than any other country in the world, so what the Minister need to do is to look at the ways that we Nigerians behave, everybody, there is SCAMMING everywhere in Nigeria, on the road, in the office, Hospital, etc, and as I am writing this now the whole of Government are scamming us. Imarging the CBN governor printing 420billion naira with 100billion naira, when these banks are not yet distressed and they can still meet their obligations, this is a country that most Nigerian can not get 1000naira in a day. If these cash 420billion is shared among Nigerians (150million), you as a person will get more than 20million, that is how much the money is, and yet the government can not provide anything for us the citizens, is that not part of scamming, so leave SONY alone and let us find a way of changing our image for better, through our deeds and behaviours, fighting SONY will not change our image in the world, Nigeria is the centre of scamming in the world, the world knows this man, nobody can be deceived, so be real.
