Wow, Blacks hating other blacks on a Black board?
I believe so much of the bad blood here is borne out of ignorance
1 in 4 Africans is a Nigerian (Nigerians in the African continent are approx 150million)
1 in 5 blacks in the world are Nigerian

Its like China but Black. Imagine that. So you have a lot of black sheep. But you cant judge Nigeria by those guys.
BTW if you are African -American or Carribean , you probably have West African roots and are probably either Ghanaian or Nigerian ancestry. Because slave trade was with only Western Africa.
Is Nigeria a corrupt country? Of course.
But they are also among the most educated black people everywhere including here in America. According to the UNDP back in the 90's there are about 20,000 Nigerian medical doctors in the States.
Before 419, Nigeria led the Apartheid struggle and paid the entire bills of the ANC. They also were considered the beacon of light for the Entire black race
If the military in Nigeria damaged the country for our black brothers in Africa, blacks whould be asking "How can we restore her to her pride and position". Not spit on her.
Peace.
