You are not smart and you are not sensitive that's why you won't be caught doing time in that jail!
That was her last word to me before she hang up the phone.
What's my offence? I refused to help that fellow do scam -
I refused to profess love to any woman simply because I needed her to aid me get a visa -
This is a typical occurrence most times in distant relationships between the priveleged and the less privileged.
In my country, we call white people 'Oyibo' it means the word as white. But this word literally means 'an Ibo person' which was how the early westerners referred to my people(Igbo people)
Now the world, what else do you love about Nigeria? Apart from the stories you have heard or experienced. I will be here to clear the ground.

Hmm... Anna I am afraid I might think you have been a Nigerian once. You just gave it an amazing definition. The word Oyibo was coiled from Igbo language which still means "an igbo person" because of the way they referred to the people made the natives give them such name. What a twist!

@Doubleyou44 I thought it was a specific way to call white European. In North America they call Chicanos a person of Mexican origin or descent. There are specific words we use to define other ethnicity.

Ok, here it goes.
Nigeria is the most populated black nation in Africa and I guess in the world. It has three major ethic tribes which are Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Recently, Nigerian immigrants have topped the number of black working communities in the US. We are mostly rich in oil resources and with what tech is doing around we hope to take advantage of that to create more jobs for the great masses. Nigeria is known for their funny answers to every difficult situation, Nigeria is championing our kind of afro music which is taking over the international music scene.
We are so welcoming and at the same time very opportunistic!
We love beyond our colour and we are a growing economy.
We welcome business investors here because we have high number of active and robust market for different industries.
We love education and we practice all forms of religion. Our official language is English and aside that we have so many local languages. It's a free society, we are democratic!
