2. Ronnie Otieno, a Kenyan man says:

“Nigerians have the best music in Africa. Sometimes I don’t get the lyrics but the beats keeps me dancing. Nigerians and probably many countries in West Africa have some serious scammers.

“Lagos is the most populous city in Africa. Some parts can be so good, rich and clean and some are slums. The slum built on water. Their accent is easily recognized.

“But their government doesn’t score high in transparency. Corruption is rampant.”

3. Sonkarlay Vaye had this to say of Nigerians:

“I have spent a lot of time around Nigerians. Judging from the ones I’ve met, this is my opinion. Nigerians are very entrepenureal. Of all the west African states it’s no surprise that Nigerians have built the largest and most successful indigenous companies.
