Nigerian stereotypes


Nigerians, like most of the people are misunderstood. What other cultures usually think about them is based on stereotypes. Among them it is often thought that they are poor, with poor education and scammers (based on the scam of the Nigerian prince). However, there are also some positive stereotypes, such as being open minded, hardworking, happy and proud. Basically those are the stereotypes that go through my mind when thinking about Nigerians, therefore in this post I tried to make a representation of these stereotypes with a drawing where is show the cruelest stereotype, poverty. But the reality is different, there is more than one story and the Nigerians are much more than that, since they have as many opportunities as any of us and enjoy their life to the fullest.
