I think one of the things that is bringing Nigeria to the spotlight of the world presently is our Magnificent Entertainment industry, especially music.
Starting from the afrobeat king Fela Kuti to very vibrant modern-day sensations like Wizkid , Burna Boy and Davido, our music is making waves worldwide, we are always topping the Chart for our Musical Presence,
And what about our vibrant Nollywood, honestly Nollywood keeps getting better and better breaking box office, Nollywood has back churning out movies that are captivating audiences everywhere around the world.
I can to showcase how magnificent Nigerians are But, on the other hand, it so heartbreaking that we have a reputation that is preceding and following us : scammers.
Most of all the youths that engage in this criminal mind, have that believe that They are collecting back all the European colonizers carried from us years back, a very wrong mindset, the use such excuse to justify their reasons for their illegal acts. Some many youth engage in questionable online schemes Like 419 scams, the romance scams, the whole nine yards. It's embarrassing, to be honest.
Right now I'm reminiscing when I was younger, I usually tell people which I met online that I was from Nigeria, and they sometimes stop chatting with me or they sometimes immediately raise an eyebrow. They will be like : *"You're from Nigeria? Oh, okay.
It really feels like they were expecting me to ask them for money or something. It really hurt sometimes many of these scams can cause a lot of people to loose their jobs, some of them got their visa, some people loosed their jobs just because of the Stigma.
But the truth be told: We Nigerian are not all scammers! ,Most Nigerians are hardworking, honest people trying to earn something for them and their family,
Many Nigerians are entrepreneurs ( Big Business MOGULS), engineers, doctors, and artists who are contributing positively to society.
If only our Government can carry out their responsibility and Do their Jobs, I want to really believe all this scams, some of our young people are usually pressured to do will trust you,
I also believe that once youth stops glorifying scams, which I also see as one of the major challenge.
We need more Innovations and Jobs that can engage the youths.
Also the country is facing high level of Economic challenges that can was as a result of the fuel subsidy that was removed immediately the new government can to power, if all this above issue have been sorted out then the youths will no more be interested in Scams.
Like the Saying: Naija No dey carry last Meaning that Nigerian will always strive be the first and best, this is so true with our Relentless success story all around the world.
We really need to shift the narrative, and focus on the good stuff in Nigeria.
