Why Nigerians are NOT Scammers!
Manage episode 383152748 series 3527886
Our guests on the couch, identified as Nigerians, address the global perception that Nigerians are notorious scammers. They humorously acknowledge the stereotype and attribute it to their perceived intelligence, claiming that being a scammer requires being smart. The speakers discuss the influence of Western movies on their perception, citing Al Capone as an example and suggesting that they learned scamming from such portrayals.
They argue that negative stereotypes about black people in general, including Nigerians, are perpetuated globally, and they highlight the differences in crime rates between Africa and the West.
The speakers emphasize that the concept of scams, like "419" (a reference to fraud), is not inherent to Nigeria but was introduced by external influences, and they reject certain email scams as ineffective compared to more personal methods.
