Kenny, you are wrong with you comment, saying no Naija works in office or reception, I know a Nigerian,who is my best pals,who works for a multinational company in Milan as a consultant and i can prove this to you 100%, so stop the misinformation.

I agree, there are few jobs these days in Italy but i would like to ask yourself one question, Have you thought of improving your education,where you stopped to better your prospect? I am in the process and i can tell you that at the moment, i am a full Emergency Response Assistant at the Red Cross gaining some knowledge on how to give First Aid.

Please lets cut the crap of trading the blames, 80% of us in Italy want to emigrate to the UK and other countries, but i ask all the time,Do we have the qualification of getting a decent Job in those countries?

If, we don't build ourselves up,the Italian people would not force us. My advice is this,get a training in any of your field of interest and in 2years,you would get a certification and if you don't get a Job then,you can complain of Discrimination or such.
I know presently 2 women with 2kids each and are going back schooling to get a recognized certification.

Fell free to contact me through this forum and i would give you the guideline ,even if you don't have paper.

No. But our image is so tainted right now because of the acts of a few number of people that those in the western world'll always generalize and think the rest of the country's a certain way -when it isn't. I've watched way too many comedians poking fun of how we do yahoo yahoo in Nigeria. After Oprah aired that show last year and NBC aired theirs (they actually went to Nigeria) about fraud, schemes and other things in Nigeria and did some crackdowns in the U.S on some Nigerian men frauding people, things haven't been the same. And I'm always getting emails about Mr. So and So, the President of Blah Blah Blah in Nigeria who wants me to forward money to him for whatever the reason. I know these are made-up emails...there is no President of BYB Bank or some ish like that, and it doesn't mean they always come from Nigerians (but they sometimes do), anyone could do that and make it seem like it's coming from a Nigerian. And these emails are being sent to a lot of random people, not just me, of course, which makes things even worse -because people are always going to think it's always Nigerians doing this when this may not always be the case. It all started with us or maybe I should say "a few people" in Nigerian, and because of that others are taking advantage of the situation. And we're still doing this in Nigeria, which doesn't help in any way either. There're people who don't make generalizations nor judge, and I have met many, so not everyone sees us in a off-putting light. No one has ever called me any names of anything like that, but I often no longer feel free to tell people I'm Nigerian just because of the assumptions and negativity a lot of people associate with it. And I'm not even talking about the Mutallab bombing. That was the act of one single person (and problems existed before that unfortunate incident), and I think a lot of people do understand this and we all know we ain't no terrorists in Nigeria, so I'm not even worried 'bout that. But it's whatever. I still say where I'm from when asked. I'm Nigerian, hate it or love it. We have problems, yes, but the good far outweigh the bad (even though it's sometimes hard to see) and we have made a lot of progress in many ways, and these are what a lot of people in other parts of the world do not see. It's up to us to make things right and renew our image. But I guess I should say that because we should be concerned with "renewing our image," but renewing Nigeria first of all. I'm not so sure it it can be done, but nothing's impossible.
