2010 I traveled on on official trip to Sao-Paulo Brazil. Out of the 9 black Africans that arrived on our flight, 4 of us were stopped and our passports taken away. We were all Nigerians.

I was the first allowed to go thru. I was warned: don’t act like the Nigerians here 😤
It might surprise you to know that Nigeria didn’t get its bad name abroad today. Many bad eggs have gone b4 us and created the bad feeling towards Nigerians.

So yes, be happy for your friends/family who decide to leave Naija, but beg them not to spoil your own chances out there.
