You may want to watch the show again be cause Oprah Winfrey did not claim that all Nigerians are fraudsters. The show simply showed fraudulent acts being carried out by some Nigerians. Not one time did Oprah, nor her guests said anything negative about anyone except about those committing fraud. You can really get yourself in trouble publishing blatant lies...]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2008 00:52:33 PST http://www.trifter.com/Africa/Nigeria/Common-Misconceptions-About-Nigeria.65949#comment68689
capt. thanks for your comment but i think that is another misconception. Nigeria is not a muslim country.The larger pecentage of the citizens are Christians and a lot of the states have almost equal population of muslims coexisting with christians peacefully. Sharia law is muslim law and not generally practiced. It exist in only about 4 states out of the 36 states and these are states where almost 80% of the population are christians. Besides the law applies to muslims alone. No christian or foriegner would be jugded or molested by it.

also take note that almost 90% of our women have adopted western style of dressing so it is not a spectacle to see a woman in western dress. Nigeria is quite liberal.]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:14:17 PST http://www.trifter.com/Africa/Nigeria/Common-Misconceptions-About-Nigeria.65949#comment67678
By this I assume you mean Sharia Law. Perhaps while you are claiming that Nigeria is safe you should include the caveats: unless you are a woman in western dress, or unless you are openly homosexual, or unless you do anything else that might offend the sensibilities of the local mullah. ]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 20:07:13 PST http://www.trifter.com/Africa/Nigeria/Common-Misconceptions-About-Nigeria.65949#comment65683 ]]> Tue, 11 Dec 2007 10:15:02 PST
