Is Nigeria just a country full of scammers?

Question

YOU DONT HAVE TO READ THIS PART

i tried to sell my psp with 4 games on ebay, the starting bid was $45 and it got all the way to 137.50 and i was pretty excited seeing as thats a great start on getting money for my first car, anyways my brother is getting ready to ship it and he sees Nigeria, and he told me if anyone in nigeria tries to buy never send it unless you have the money in your hand because anything with nigeria in it, is a scam, anyways later on in the day we still dont receive payment.... Nigerians suck (at least the scamming ones, if theres nice nigerians reading this, thumbs up)

Answer 1

Of course not. There are some god people in Nigeria.

Answer 2

Not exactly. Just know your buyer.

Answer 3

Don't base a whole country of people one one negative experience. That would be foolish.  

Answer 4

Thanks for the thumbs-up part. it's unfortunate that's how some Nigerians come across, but most of the scamming Nigerians do so out of desperation for something better and out of spite. I mean, Nigeria is just like anyother country: it has it's responsible people living in the semi-good parts of the country and then there are the people who live in slums and real ghettos. Just gotta take the good and do your best to avoid the bad.

Answer 5

No not all Nigerians are scammers but of course when dealing with them on the internet, you best be careful because most I have come into contact with is scammers.  

Answer 6

Nigeria is a country of 140 million people out of which a few(2,000) might be scammers, if all 140 million nigerians were scammers the world would really be in trouble.
