Why do we Nigerians have such a bad reputation? Do you think it is justified? Have a look at this article and what it says about Nigerians.
Is our bad reputation of our own making or an unfair generalisation?

But ghanains don't have this reputation, it is just us. I remember a time when Ghanaians were the ones trying to get into our country and we would be complaining that there were too many of them in our country, now it's the other way round and Nigerians are the ones trying to get into their country, and they are complaining about us. How things have turned around!

Do we deserve this bad reputation? Or is it one that has been created for us by some bad Nigerian eggs that have
"spoiled the road" for everyone else?

I think Nigerian reputation is very bad in the eyes of the rest of the world and we Nigerians should be very worried about this. It affects the way people treat us.

So how come Nigeria has such a terrible reputation in the eyes of the rest of the world?
When you send e-mail from a Nigerian IP address, it automatically goes to spam.
As far as I'm aware, Nigeria is the only country whose IP addresses have been relegated to spam category.
I don't know of any other country that has been relegated in this way.
So where did the terrible reputation come from?
