First of all I would like to point out that I don’t condone spamming of any sort here on steemit by Nigerians or persons from any nationality at all, we should all do our best to
Discourage spamming on the steemit platform.
Having said that, it is absolutely wrong and outright rude for anyone to single out a particular nationality on steemit as the spammers of the steemit community.
A spammer is a spammer and shouldn’t be adjudged a spammer based on nationality.
I got to see a post by 
Hive account@alex-icey that clearly depicted the Nigerian community on steemit as spammers (screenshot beside), I already responded in comment on the post but still I feel obliged to respond to it and nip that notion in the bud.
I have had spam comments on my post also and I never cared to look out which nationality the spammer hails from because that would be borderline racism, I would just ignore such comments since I don’t have the steem power to take on spam comments on my post, I am sure everyone here on steemit has at one point or the other had spam comment that didn’t come from a Nigerian spammer.
Just so you know, the Nigerian community has already contributed a great deal (and will continue to do so) to the success and growth of the steemit platform. We have notable authors like 
Hive account@ogoowinner 
Hive account@ogochukwu 
Hive account@ehiboss 
Hive account@oluwoleolaide 
Hive account@fisteganos 
Hive account@onequality 
Hive account@lucashunter just to mention a few, you can check out their original, articulate and well written posts, use it as a sample of what the Nigerian authors are capable of and tell me if it was right of you to libel Nigerians as spammer on your post.
Funny thing is you had 
Hive account@cheetah commenting on your post and that only happens on a spammy and plagiarized post.
So now who is the spammer ?
You Hive account@alex-icey owe the Nigerian community an apology and I hope you are man enough to do so,knowing that you don't have proof of the allegation thrown at the nigerian community on steemit, how did you know the spammer was a nigerian ? did you get to see his international passport or any other government approved document that proved he is a nigerian? it wouldn’t be cool to be seen as having racist tendencies on steemit and henceforth you should realize that you have to be mindful of your choice of words in your post because steemit community represents the world and the world is watching us all.
In ending this post, I would like to join 
Hive account@destinysaid and 
Hive account@gbenga to call on our Nigerian community to desist from spamming, we all know how it is, any negative thing we do gets mostly blown out of proportion. We all have a part to play to protect our integrity on steemit.
I AM NIGERIAN AND I AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN. LONGLIVE THE NIGERIAN COMMUNITY OF STEEMIT
RESTEEMS would really really be appreciated to get this seen by all of steemit
