Even in Italy, landlords are rejecting Nigerians. We as Nigerians also need to play our part by being responsible, law-abiding and respectful representatives of our country wherever we go.
The point is they don't want you there in the first place!!Then super under pay u are want hire u at all. So ppl turn to crime to survive! Just like in Dubai
Very good point and to be honest Nigerians do not have a good reputation ! This is what i have witnessed myself from many countries I have been. Very disappointing to see that we have amazing Nigerians out there
I had an experience here in the US, I found a wallet on a street in NYC, wallet had bunch of money, credit/debit cards, i.ds of all kinds, social security card. Obviously, it fell from the pocket of someone unknown to them, Cars were running across the wallet, I picked it, took to the police, they took my details and got in contact with the owner; owner was already going crazy. They invited him to get his wallet, he got there, he checked his wallet and demanded to see me so as to appreciate me in words and cash. I told the police to tell him that he shouldn't border about giving me something. I only told them to tell him "Am from Nigeria"..and that's how we do, I did it not to get appreciated but because it's the right thing to do. Wherever we find ourselves, let's try to promote this Nigerian brand.
God bless you. I am surprised nobody commented on your post. And they just gave you one like. Well, I am adding the second like. I cannot tell how many phones I have returned in a bank, in my office, etc. And money too. And yes, I am a Nigerian!
Nice one, it shows how contentment and good value system promotes lovely and livable society. I saw a Nigerian too that picked money in dubai and said na Almighty did keep it for him to keep.imagine !!! .Poverty worldview and lack of good home training. My view All the same u did well more by denying being rewarded in kind ,it still shows u have a perception that man's life doesn't consist in abundance of what he has .
Im an Algerian living in dubai , and some of the best friends I have here in dubai are from Nigeria , I remember once I had an accident and there were some Nigerian pedestrians arround and they did their best to help me stand back on my feet and took me to hospital and pharmacy , I will never forget their favour
I feel your pain Tayo. It's sickening to see Nigerians being stereotyped. The percentage of Nigerians in diaspora who do these wrong things are small, yet when people hear Nigeria, negative things comes to mind. I attended an engineering event yesterday in London and I was so shocked to see 90% of the speakers are Nigerians. These are Executive Directors and top managers in multinationals, yet it's the few percent of the bad Nigerians that the world sees.
Unfortunately the few rotten apples do enough damage to take attention from the good ones. It's not only in Dubai, people have this stigma across Africa and certain parts of Europe.
@@OlatundeAdegbola Yupp, I myself have had a few bad experiences with Nigerians but I'm also aware of that the vast majority are law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, once you've had that one bad experience you keep your guard up and when you hear about similar incidents it only adds to your prejudice.
I don't mean to offend Nigerians, but the problems caused by Nigerians are happening almost all over the world, for example in Japan, specifically in Shinjuku and Kabukicho, where a lot of Nigerians have been arrested because of burglary cases and riots. Another examples happenin a third world country, (Indonesia) where a diplomat was arrested for resisting immigration officials when asked for a report and riots occurred at the Nigerian embassy in Jakarta. I know not all Nigerians are like that but small things like that can damage the image of your country and your own people. I know your feelings styrotype by other countries like this I also feel it because I am a Muslim who is always styrotype as an terrorist
@@adiba9734 haha I happen to be Nigerian AND Muslim imagine that xD, I see all these narrow minded people doing all sorts of things for insignificant worldly gains and it sometimes affects me too even though i didnt do anything wrong but I just brush it off because I'm more focused on the hereafter. May Allah guide these fools ameen.
I’m an Emirati and I’ve met/studied with amazing Nigerian people abroad in USA. Unfortunately the incident you included is only one of many cases in Dubai. I don’t know how this came to be but a lot of workers coming from Nigeria or on visit visas would participate in gang activities and theft here in Dubai. As this issue progressed the government took that unfortunate decision of making it difficult for men of that age group to enter Dubai. On the other hand there is many Nigerian workers I interact with daily and they are hard working honest people and always extremely well mannered.
The issue is that some Nigerians don't know how to behave themselves and this is affecting others, u can imagine going to another Country and misbehaving. My bro got denied a Visa too and he was going for a football scouting in Abu Dhab, they also banned Nigerians from entering Abu Dhabi
Thank you for telling the truth. I love my dear Nigerian family. I am a Canadian/ Ghanaian and I know that Nigerians and Ghanaians are always together, but I will say one thing to Nigerians. Please you guys should work hard to make your country look good. instead of always disgracing the country. Your behaviour is not acceptable. Taking millions of dollars from innocent people will always make the country look bad. The majority of us Africans are very good and hard working people. There's no perfect country on Earth. There is no country that doesn't do bad things, but what you guys do is too much, you shouldn't be too greedy. Life is tough for everyone. Please let us make Africa and her people look good. That is my advice to us all.
@@lolaadetoki5741 exactly, this is what people don't understand. The ratio of bad to good In Nigeria is low. But the number is large. We have outstanding records also in the same countries where we are disrespected.
Unfortunately for good decent Nigerians, it's not just because of stereotypes but the actions of so many bad elements that wreak havoc and spoilt it for all Nigerians like it is here in SA. Anyway, Tayo is a good representation of what most Nigerians are really like and he loved and appreciated.
@@TayoAinaFilms Hey Chief... Change for the better or the worst? If for better, how?... What are the plans and strategy for this change?... Come to think of it do we even know the root cause of these behaviours from some Nigerians? Have a great day!
What I'm certain about is that the good Nigerians will not live amongst Nigerian neighborhoods in South Africa because of dodgy staff happening there..They won't even dare raise their children especially the girl child in those communities and that's how bad things are..Nigerians need to be honest in acknowledging the reason why other countries are not comfortable living amongst them without being in denial , defending themselves, blaming other countries giving them all sorts of names by pointing out the obvious problems.. The values , attitude and general conduct of any visitor xuld be acceptable and in comfort with the host..
Thank you for outlining our current situation (SA) so beautifully. The biggest problem is not acknowledging that the fellow brothers are really messing up other countries, it's only that day when a family member becomes the victim then they will understand. I feel Nigerians need to preach to fellow Nigerians because what the bad apples are doing is inhumane.
First off, I'm so glad to had come across this video. I'm a Nigerian Residing in Dubai, the stigmas and stereotypes placed on Nigerians here is crazy and unthinkable. Though there are valid reasons behind them, but as you said We not the worst people in the world, cause we have other nationalities committing same offenses Nigerians are committing, even worse. Unfortunately people see it differently when its coming from a black person, not to mention a Nigerian, then it will make the headlines. Racism still exist in Dubai. And its saddening. I worked at the just concluded event, EXPO2020 DUBAI, which i saw in the video. People get to enjoy my company and conversations and they'd want to know where I'm from which I'd tell them, I'm from Nigeria, then they'd stop talking to me. I then asked myself, even if we are the worst people on earth, at least meeting one good person from there shouldn't make a different? But seeing the way some of our people behave here sickens me. Mentioning some certain sets of people would be rude, I'm just gonna generalize it. Our people here lack courtesy and public etiquette. Even the ones employed misbehave on duty, not all though, some. We just need to educate ourselves of these things, cause we are so used to rough life living mentality that people still have to travel/migrate with it. Bringing cultism to another country is just way out of it, just to mention few. I was even planing on opening a Vlog on TH-cam here and also on TikTok. Just to educate our people in diaspora how to behave and adapt to their new environment/home.
Well all you said here is nothing but the truth. But let me start here, up till today I still believe that the bureau de change robbery by some Nigerians back then actually exposed Nigerians to these people, Arabians don't forgive easily. Then our people after then, hmmmmm Just like you said, trying to point fingers at some certain people can only make it worse because we know how we make defence in this country (religion, tribe, ethnicity, politics etc) Even in all the accommodations I have stayed alone, I see how these people do things and give the I don't care attitude, in a state where alcohol is illegal, you just see them litre everywhere with alcoholic cans and bottles right from the top roof to the first floor, selling hard 💊, abortion 💊, robbing Arabs of their valuables through prostitution, how many can we even mention, then "CULTISM" 😭😭. I have seen some grocery stores complaining of how our people spend fake money to them, seriously I don't understand how they go about all these things, even using fake plate numbers in the country like that. I notice we try to use the excuse of not being the only bad country in there, but the fact remains that they have better and robust relationship with these other countries especially Pakistan 🇵🇰 India 🇮🇳 and Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Some other African countries now claim Nigerian when caught in an act since they know that's the focus, only to get to know they lied after seeing their papers. I actually left the country when I noticed that's not the place for me, I am an easy going person but if care is not taken anyone can be implicated. I was lucky to escape a raid on my accommodation sometimes ago, all those found inside that day were parked and some never returned till I left. I still believe the best way to help us as a nation is for the UAE 🇦🇪 government to help punish culprits of any crime accordingly.
thank you, my brother, I feel you but there is much to this than the way people perceive Nigerians in Dubai, Dubai makes more money from Nigeria than the rest of the Africans, I can say if the problem is about bad Nigerians, the Dubai govt. knows them and they can deal with the bad ones separately, why deny the good ones work permit on the basis of what the bad ones did? why keep approving tourist visas if you don't want Nigerians? why return the convicted ones back to Dubai when they can deport them, why is our govt. not saying anything to the Dubai govt over this? i know we need to do better out there but enough of pointing all the blames on our citizen. first I will say people judge Nigerians based on the negative things they read and see in the media they don't care about the good ones. I also live in Dubai I noticed any bad news from a black man is attached to a Nigerian like we are the only black nation in Dubai. i feel that segregation is more in Dubai than the rest of the world which is a result of Arabs Racism. Nigerians still remain the best black nation here in Dubai but we are been quickly judged by the bad ones they see and forget the good ones also exist. is there any nation that doesn't have good and bad people? I can tell you the atrocities the Asians e.g. Pakistan and Indians commit here in Dubai are more than the Nigerians but they won't talk about it. I've seen videos and comments from the reasonable ones who get close to Nigerians talk good things and said we are still the best black nation so I'll hold to that positivity and leave the negative ones.
Am a Zambian TH-camr and i have lived with Nigerians in different Countries before, you are the best people that anyone can live with because i find you to be very very welcoming and helpful people! You welcome all of us and so we also welcome you! Nigerians are true friends! and friends forever!
Thank you so much for this comment, as a Nigerian it means a lot after seeing the hate this comment session is filled with coming from our fellow Africans. When Nigeria is winning everyone cheers one Africa but see how everyone is distancing themselves. Ruined my day but you just saved it thank you one more time
I don't think people realise how much that Hushpuppi situation has put a red flag on Nigerian travellers - even if you have dual nationalities the stereotypes and mistreatment is going to reach an all time high
But Americans arrested for loan scams, Russians arrested for hacking, Italians and Brazilians for drugs is not affecting their countries. It is racism! Racists need a reason to be racists.
Hushpuppi isn't the only scammer in the entire world. Why is what he did or didn't do affecting hundreds of millions of innocent Nigerians who had no part in his alleged crimes? America had a president who tried to overthrow the government of his duly-elected successor in a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. Does Dubai issue a blanket ban on white Americans coming to their country because of the actions of that one man? It is not a good excuse. Treat individual Nigerians individually, not blanket ban them for things they didn't even do!
@@jalabi99 THAT'S the problem it has made us the face of this fraudulent rubbish and its affecting the everyday traveller that just wants to go on a decent holiday and take a break with heir hard earned salary. Stigmas stick for a long time
I have been in South Africa for the last five years before making a decision to go back home to Malawi. Above 90% of Nigerians in South Africa are either selling drugs or doing online scams. Even a traffic officer advised me not to buy a car from any Nigerian Car Dealership because most of the cars are having criminal offenses that might get me into trouble. What you have experienced is sad because you had a good cause for going to Dubai. I just wish Nigerians could start behaving themselves well in other people's countries. However, there are more Nigerians that are doing bad things than those who are travelling for a good cause. I wish all the best Tayo. Blessings.
@@odochiohia those who have been to South Africa knows that I am telling the truth. Don't catch feelings here, many nations speak of the bad things Nigerians do. In South Africa its even worse.
When I think about Nigerians, I think about educated people, entrepreneurs and the entertainment industry. Nigerians are resilient and role models to not only Africans but the world. Much love from Ethiopia. 🇪🇹❤️🇳🇬
@@LJRoss-zv8hw That only mean that you don’t know any Nigerians or know what’s going on in Africa in terms of business, entertainment etc. You most likely haven’t travelled much either (outside the US).
I am a South African and I have a lot of friends from different African countries including Nigeria. I have also had the opportunity to travel to other African countries. Unfortunately some Nigerians here have really stained the reputation of hard working Nigerians especially with the drug dealing, prostitution issues. A lot of South Africans were understandably very upset when we lost our UK visa free status, which many attributed (whether justified or not) to Nigerians using fraudulent South African documents to get to the UK. It's really bad PR for Nigeria as much as Xenophobia is for our country. Hopefully someday all these stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Everyone should just behave accordingly and respect the laws when visiting or residing in other countries. It's not that difficult.
Same thing happened to Kenya. Our passport was highly respected. But Somalis and Nigerians fraudulently aquired Kenyan citizen. The end of visa free travel.☹️
@@MKL614 Whats your point because even SA passport is still the third best in Africa and above kenya passport? the point here is that, our passport were supposed to rank higher than this by now
This is a great idea, they have a TH-cam black in America but something is needed for Africans because black americans have had decades of media exposture and access to media.
I was so happy when I saw you on the same stage as casey it made me feel some type of warmth and urgency to start writting my script for a video , it's just crazy that being a creative filmmaker has taking you to more countries that I can count, I've always wanted to be a digital Nomad, but for a long time I felt that this dream was only meant for Americans but you have shown me that's a big lie. Infact I feel Nigerian creatives are one of the best in the world. Our country is a work in progress!!
This is really sad! However, it is fair and necessary for us (Nigerians) to look inward first and admit that we put ourselves in this condition. How are we treating ourselves in Nigeria or better still in Africa? Do we treat humans as humans? How are we being treated by our governments? A continent where the lives of human beings are not valued. The government of Nigeria should be ashamed. "Charity begins at home" According to Yoruba proverb " Akeregbe lo ma so ibiti a ma fi okun si lorun e". Hmmmm!
Yes true, I have nothing against Nigerians but they're also misbehaving here in Kenya. And you should also ask yourselves why your country has a problem with every other country in the world.
It is not a government thing. It is an African thing and Africans are in African governments. Before they were employed by the government they were already Africans, Therefore if you were in the government you would be doing the same thing.
In the early 2000s, there were no security patrols, it was said you could forget your bag and wallet on the bus or in a store, return hours even days and see your item intact. Now in Dubai or Dheira, theft is on the rise, Nigerians see jewelry stores, banks, no security and think it is easy pickings.
This is why Africa has to build for itself. You don't see Emiratis spending all their money and resources in Nigeria. Dubai was a desert 30 years ago and look at what they've done in that time frame. You had every right to attend this event Tayo.
You my bro , have said it all , that is nothing but an excuse to ban Africans from access into Dubai , Dubai is filled with mafia lords and sex traffickers , yet no one does a thing about it , only when it comes to Africa they are so quick to decide.
The only thing I would say is that it is easier to do so when you have a complete monarchy with a dubious human rights record and less than 2 million Emirate population and with pretty unlimited oil resources. That said all African countries should do the utmost to make sure that all African citizens can live a dignified and fulfilling life on our continent.
Dude @ 7:45 - why are you Blaming Poor Nigerians for the things that they do do in a land where they get no respect. Poor people never get respect anywhere in the world and guess which Demographic has the most Poor People.... a little HINT, Blacks, whether African born or Not!!!! Think as Socio-Economist / Historian BEFORE You Speak ON things you do not Understand. There is a reason why there are people who research and write books on this Topic. Be a Respectful Vloger, a regular Guy.
I don’t blame them as well, even Nigerians in diasporas don’t trust each other, because of this same bad habit. Their wrong doings go a long way that those doing great things
The problem is these Nigerians who mess things up for other Nigerians, they do stuff in other people's countries which they do in Nigeria, and get away with..You can't go to someone house and do what you do in your own house.. They need to change their mindset when they go abroad..
Nigerians are just bein stigmatized for no reason.true there are so many that are criminally minded,they are a handful.si many other nationalities too are involved in heinous crimes,but they won't hammer it ,it's only Nigerians that they stigmatize.it stems from the fact that the West finds Nigerians very intelligent, hardworking,and we also have enterpreneural skills which they don't want in any black man.they believe nothing good comes from a black man but Nigerians excel in all fields of endeavours so they are afraid of our country.they are the ones distabilizing our country so we won't move forward bcos they don't want it.but I tell you we will emerge again and they will be shamed .that is when we at home learn not to vote for mediocrity and bad leaders bcos of the bribe they will offer but vote for good and visionary leaders,not leaders who will say presidency is a life long ambition that they have been nursing.those type of leaders dont have anything to offer but failure. Let us shine our eyes this time. Nigeria ,my country is the best Country in the world despite her challenges.she will emerge again and she will overcome by the Grace of God Almighty.
Hello readers, I worked in Dubai few years and just returned home Nigeria. The mentality of quick rich syndrome and other criminalities among some Nigerians are frightening. Nigerians felt that u can't cheat or intimidate them which is good but they apply it in criminal acts. Other national especially Asians commit crime too but they value life of their victims. Some Nigerian criminals don't. Those in street deals kill with out thinking the potential consequences. Other national resent Nigerians mostly on account of wasting life , habaaa. This thing they call being smart atimes means to be criminal minded. Nigerians equally dupe themselves with reckless abandon. I was in a random questioning at my residence which has 98% of other nationals, police stated that Nigerians are troublesome when they got to know identity. My company going concern was badly threatened because a Nigerian surreptitiously hijacked the company and left . Our ladies too are not left out. In all sincerity to uae 🇦🇪 they are trying to descalate it before it affects the minds of potential tourist audience that dubai is infested with criminals. We.all know the huspuppy saga that put uae in bad light globally. However , we have many Nigerians that are sought-after in many fields because of their seriousness and dedication. Our problem starts from us and only us can effect a desired change . Be a good ambassador of Nigerian where ever you go.
Am still here, and everything you typed is true... But then I believe we are also very victimized bcos av seen a lot of other nationals commiting crime
@@Itsmeagain12345 wherever we are, let’s be more focused on those nationalities not committing much crime, and use them as our model. We shouldn’t use those committing crime as excuse. Crime doesn’t pay!
Nigerian government should do the homework properly. Government shouldn't allow criminals or people with criminal history to leave Nigeria. This should solve a lot of issues normal nigerian people are facing in other countries.
Will the Government follow Criminals to apply for Visas?.. I think rather that it's the individual Embassies that should do greater screening of potential Visitors to their Countries, and through a process of Interview, determine the suitability or otherwise of their Applications. The UK, USA & other European countries do screen before granting Visas!!
It's sad that some can ruin things for the innocent but the moral of the stories is not to give up, if you want something in your life you have togo get it
Greatness comes from small things and persistence. Ignore the stereotype and be the best version of yourself and in the process of being you. You represent Nigeria or any country you're from. Most especially we represent Afrikans. So we should stop stereotyping ourselves first. Change the image how we see ourselves and the world will see us how we see ourselves
Hello Tayo , my name is Joy and I’m a Nigerian who is currently living here in Dubai. Concerning the work permit it has been so for more than a year and and a lot of Nigerians have lost jobs or unable to get new jobs because of this and it is really sad. . So sorry you had to go through this stress to get your visa, but I’m glad you didn’t miss your summit . Keep doing an awesome job and I pray more of Gods grace over your life🤍🤍
Cheers for shedding more lights on the work permit issue. But why can't *some* Nigerians obey the laws of the land where they reside in? This is crazy!
is those useless cultist children's of devil .that Nigerian forces refused to handle instead they team with them thinking they are above the law is Dubai Nigeria I hate does cultists
@@wahabodusola6484 Here in Ghana it's even taken its toll on me because when I meet you and discover that you're a Nigerian, I also raise a defense system (like a resistance), because I'm curious to know where you're coming from and what you've come here to do. Yahoo Boys are here in their large numbers bruh and they keep increasing everyday, Hmmm, ...na wa O!!!
@@olatundeoladele5093 Governments are responsible for protecting their citizens from criminal elements. You can not blame governments for looking out for the interest of their people because someone is who not under their authority believes their are being stereotyped.

When we are outside of our country, we are not an individuals, we are statistics. And statistics are used for all aspects of policy-making, including risk identification. Everyone's action matters.
So true it doesn't take much to cancel Nigerians, infact it only take few Nigerians boys to cheat on girls abroad to hear the term •Nigerians men are Cheaters •Nigerians men are not loyal •This is why I Don't date Nigerians men.
I got rejected for a Tanzania visa few weeks ago. And I commented to a friend yesterday that I now understand why lots of Africans simply go to Dubai- the visa process is hassle free and nobody ever gets rejected. HAHAHA and then today I see that Tayo of all people got rejected for Dubai visa:):) Massive props to you bro for persevering and getting through in the end!!!
I have a nigerian tenant.not to hate but it's hard to collect rent to a nigerian tenant.and she's very agressive when u ask for monthly bills.and she leave without paying like 4months.since that incedent, i banned nigerian to my properties.
I had a similar experience a few months ago. The sad thing about these "blanket rejections" is that honest people with good intentions to visit a country and explore are being profiled and refused entry for no fault of their own.
@@mosesptallah3933 its easy to say this , the way the people protecting a country think is different from the way you think. silly as it maybe every country does this. when nigeria reject people which they do you wont see them screaming racism
@@mosesptallah3933 why do we always jump on screaming racism on any small issue? Nigeria is notorious for rejecting Africans visas, deporting Africans and so on but I refuse to call Nigeria racist; it’s a souverain country that has its laws and as a foreign you can only accept what they decide.
Why go to a place where one gets no respect... why go spend your Hard Earned Money? For what... to say that you have been there? Go watch Wode Maya's video on beautiful places to visit on the Continent and Help Develop Sub Sahara's Country TOURISM.
My heart goes out to my Nigerians out there, even on a regional scale (I'm from Benin Republic), many people view Nigeria and Nigerians under a bad light do to the generalization of negative things that have happened in the past involving Nigeria or Nigerians. I will nonetheless continue loving Nigeria and Africa as a whole
Visit South Africa and you will understand why Nigerians are rejected almost everywhere, their evil actions overshadow anything good that exist in the world
You just had to include that Xenophobic country into this. Why did your country have a high crime rate even before other Africans started living your country. The crime statistics even shows that Nigerians have lesser crime rates and arrests compared to most other nationals in your country. That got my wondering why your people only cry about Nigerians? Is there more to this allegation
@@Thomas-tr8mk the way South Africans complain about Nigerians, I had to look into it myself. Google says we are just 30,000 there and I couldn't believe it, even if you add illegals I don't think we would surpass 100,000 there and I thought we were like millions there, so this keeps me wondering what they have against us.
I am Zimbabwean , and I know a lot of good Nigerians . It's not just about that video you see that Dubai Denies Nigerian people visas . 90% of the time when there is a scam or crime that happens in Dubai there is a Nigerian , most of the ladies (street walkers) are Nigerian . This has damaged the reputation of Nigeria , Nigerians struggle to get jobs or even open a bank account . It's high time people see the true Nigeria , show some positive achievements , and everyone else should stop assuming
@@jyde50 My comment has nothing to do with going to Nigeria. I was only replying to your comment that the video was only for views and unnecessary since he got the visa.
It's quite unfortunate that Nigeria's reputation is so poor in several countries, hopefully our generation will change the narrative, glad you represented
It's this generation making this reputation poor. Jobless youth who get into crime. Cultism is worse than ever to the point that even the fba knows about the black axe. If we had jobs for youth and better economic opportunists the youth would not be doing crime.
@@sunnya4310 so If there is no change in corruption does it mean you should go and practice cult in someone country this is making the living for we the Africans outside are suffering
Too bad Tayo! I have best friends from Nigeria and I learn from them with shock how stereotypes about Nigerians even affect their ability to travel to fellow African countries. I’m really sorry about this. The world needs to do better!!! There are bad people everywhere. It doesn’t make the citizens of those countries bad people.
Please stop. Nigerian need to do better. If everyone doesn't want anything to do with you, then you're the problem. Most countries in the world don't want Nigerians in their countries. And this is based on thier own individual experiences with Nigerians. They need to start taking accountability for thier actions. Those who don't commit crime, enable it or don't condemned it. They need to fix themselves.
I think by now the stereotypes are global.. am from south Africa. Thank you for speaking up against those Nigerians that do bad things, but if we sweep the deeds of those that do bad "Nigerians" in this case we won't help the situation as it's now a global issue. If we speak up against it more and admit certain things... I think it will help the situation. The best way to cure, is to admit there is a trend and something needs to be done.
@@BroadwayBully1 That is true. I wish we can deal with the actual problem instead of blaming the Arab World. We as Africans we need to carry ourselves with dignity everywhere we go.
Wow! This is sad, how can they do that when you have a summit to attend. Traveling with a Nigerian passport is a struggle. I'm glad you were able to finally travel.
As an African American...it is because of you that I am planning to visit Nigeria! I have watched your many vlogs and interviews and I have fallen in love with the country! Im so sorry that you had to endure what you endured to travel. I know that you must've paid an astronomical amount of money to travel at the last minute like that! You deserved to arrive and be treated with the same dignity as everyone else in that panel. Please continue to share and do the work that you're doing. You are being watched and you are effective! More importantly, you are loved!
I have a saying. "Those who are determined to love me will see no wrong in me. Those who are determined to hate me will see no good in me." As African Americans...we also face stereotypes. One Black person can do something wrong and the whole group is expected to bear the burden. I remember speaking to a middle aged Hispanic woman once who told me she didnt like Black people because someone Black bullied her in elementary school. So for 40+ years she harbored that feeling toward Black people because of something one Black person did to her! Anyway...I think we have to develop the stance of Nehemiah (in the Bible). Keep doing the work. Keep working for change. Dont let the naysayers stop you from making your people...your country a better place.
I'm sorry you went through this Tayo, I'm glad you got to attend because you really belonged at this event, your content is stellar by any and every standard. I'm so proud of what you have done and doing, you're making Nigerians at home and in the diaspora so proud.
As sad as this is, I'm almost relieved that it's not only South Africans who don't see it for Nigerians. It seems Nigerians that leave Nigeria go out to cause chaos everywhere they go. Of course its not all of them, but the ones that do, they cause enough damage.
Unfortunately Nigerian have a terrible reputation. The ones that do bad, they do really scary and terrible things. Scary enough to not want any Nigerians around. Stereotyping is still wrong.
This is crazy and I feel your pain. I've been in the US for 9years now. I work as a sales rep in an international relocation company and I speak with prospective clients everyday and also doing on-site estimates due to the nature of my job. My point is this, most Nigerian put people like me and you in a bad place where people already have an opinion about us before we could even introduce ourself. Is like we are already guilty until we can prove otherwise, I have found myself telling clients that am from Togo just to gain their trust. Is a shame, how Nigerians are known globally for fraud. We need to change our attitude and represent the country in a positive manner. I'm glad you are able to attend the summit.
Well, i don't see mexicans in the USA being ashamed of where they come from....even when their rate of drugs and gang related crimes is at an alarming proportion in the USA...... just ask yourself why you have to be punished for the crime of another nigerian....it is deeper than you think
Lying about your identity is a case of low-self-esteem; stereotyping is a sickness resulting from ignorance. Your country is not bad because of its citizens but due to bad leadership. Diplomatically people are treated the same way they're treated by their own government. Nigerian authorities treat its citizens in more dehumanizing manner

@@willy7968 Tayo didn't say he was refused Visa bcuz of cultist; if that's the case countries should stop issuing visa to Arabs for fear of Islamic terrorism. It's not only UAE that treats Nigerian passport holders with disrespect.
Nigerians does not want to hear the truth, when other Africans complains about the behavior of nigerians in their countries, nigerians thinks we are jealous because they are hard workers and educated, E.g in SA
Yayyyyy you were one of the speakers at the event which is so inspiring,thank God you didn't miss the event🙏🙏🙏Some people has given a bad image to the good ones which is being used classify everyone. We can do better please.
Tayo am glad you keep pushing for your Visa till you get it, must always have a JUDAS not only in NIGERIA but everywhere glad you didn't miss the event. Congratulations for what you do and represent. Keep flying.
I am not Nigerian but very proud of the positive work and image that you and a host of other African content creators and professionals put out there. I am really sorry that you had to go through what you did. It should be noted though that it is the primary responsibility of these countries to protect their citizens at all cost( unlike most African countries). I am sure that their decision to target an age range of a particular country is based on data and not random. Their country is a tourism hotspot partly because of safety/security and nothing is going to impede that success, even if it means innocent people like yourself being impacted. The problem lies squarely on our brothers and sisters who choose a life of crime, caring less as to how it affects others.
That is very sad, but there is a bright side to it though, the experience led to the creation of this great video. I wish we do better as Nigerians outside and inside our country
Woooow Tayo, I am so happy you were able to represent Nigeria, you've always been an inspiration to me. God bless you. It is high time Nigerians began to represent us well😤😤
Its high time that some Nigerians worked on their reputations, in Kenya I had a chance of living with some of them in an apartment,The fights with other tenants were endless,the noises at night and a Rape incidence with an underage girl, since then my opinion on Nigerians changed
This was a very good and much-needed video. Nigerians need to reprimand bad behavior from other Nigerians because this ruins reputations. Today, it's Nigerian men ages 20-35. I will not be surprised if this is expanded to the Nigerian women who go over there to become escorts.
@@FishOnBroTv With South Africans, that's just a weird one. Sadly enough, 8 out of 10 times, when I hear SA talk about other Black Africans especially Nigerians, I'm jarred by the level of hate they seem to have. Of course, not all South Africans are like that, but I could go to a video about Nigerians - could be a video about food or music - and there will be those hateful comments singling out Nigerians with the commenter so proud to say they are Africans. The videos I've seen of the mistreatment of Black Africans in South Africa is also very disappointing. Nigeria has many issues that need to be tackled starting from accountability, but hate is not the answer.
I'm so sorry about the bad experience. It really breaks my heart when I think of the way some bad eggs from Nigerians keep tarnishing our image abroad. Thank God you met up with the event.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
There are so many things happening in the US and no one has ever used that to judge Americans. Everyone is so quick to stereotype Nigerians, especially some Africans. We could see the power tussle between the UAE and Nigeria. All what these people want is a timid and Nigeria is not ready for that. We saw UK placed like 8 African countries on COVID restriction until they added Nigeria and Nigeria retaliated. They should keep stereotyping us, make Dem continue. Na their wahala
You have said it all. This is more of a political issue between Nigeria and Dubai. Thank God Nigeria is not a timid country. This is why I wish we don't breakup as a country.
Very well said! We need our governments to stand up to these bullies..And I am happy Nigeria has stood up to UK and UAE..In UAE, they have many Nigerians with expired visas.. and especially in Sharjah..What is UAE doing about that? Why not enforce your laws? They won’t..they use most of them as cheap underground labour..but when they commit crimes, they come to complain..Hypocrites!!
I'm An African (Ugandan), I must inform you one thing! Dubai is a free city with an extreme multi cultural environment. However, you must respect the Emirati culture of peace and non violence. Avoid handling misunderstandings in a radical but rather in a humble and systematic way. Energy doesn't solve misunderstandings in Dubai. Also the mentality of yahoo boys and making quick money from the city is a no no. When high expectation of lies meets the harsh reality, people find it depressing and looking for options. It NEVER works in Dubai. Try learning the system first before u get dissapointed. All public have the nigerian stereotype because of NOT willing to adapt to the new system.
Our churches themselves are violent, if you listen to how they scream in husky voices when they preach. They are therefore gonna produce violent people. We do not wanna learn. It is not only Nigerians but the entire Africa.
Alot Nigerians here in kenya have run away with airbnb rent money. I am a victim. Lost money to a number of them that i thought we had created some sort of friendship since we are age mates. Not to mention their involvement in drugs and drugging naive kenyan ladies. They have really left a bad image here. Lots of complaints in police stations. But all the same i refuse to stereotype and judge all Nigerians as bad. I have met a good number of good ones. We still keep in touch months after going back home. One love Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤️
Sorry about that but I am glad you said there are still very good and honest Nigerians living in Kenya ,I feel so bad too when people judge me bad just because I am a Nigeria even when I don't do those things as crimes but you need to know there are some imposters in Kenya that are not Nigerians but hiding under that name to do evil . one love Kenya … But talking about the girls I will tell you that is done with their knowledge BECAUSE those girls take all manner of hard drugs and they do anything for the love of money let be honest here and its vs also for the guys ,even me I am still careful in choosing my friends irrespective of your nationality. because I know I have an image to protect which i will never allow anyone to destroy which involves been mindful of where you are coming from .
Look, there are bad eggs all over Africa. I've had bad experiences with Kenyans in Dubai as well but it's not right to generalize a whole nation based on the bad experiences you had with a few people. I know a Kenyan girl who told me that a Nigerian kept her in his apartment when she had no where to stay here in Dubai and never for once tried to touch her. He will let her sleep in the room and manage the couch in the living room just so she would feel comfortable. She claims he's the kindest person she ever knew. We just have to learn to separate the bad eggs from the good ones besides Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa we have more people i.e more good and bad. Let's embrace ourselves as Africans. I see a lot of Africans slandering in the comments as well as in real life and it makes me sad. Anyways I'm a rapper and a longtime messenger of one Africa you can check my videos. Peace brother
@@jyde50 you are sick, already showing what People think of Nigerians... pride, we might be poor but you will never see or hear a kenyan died trying to cross the Atlantic into Europe on a canoe on the contrary How many Nigerians perish each year trying to get into Europe?? Here in Nairobi soo many Nigerians looking for work...we might be poor but Nigeria calling Kenyan poor is like the pot calling kettle black. Kenya is heaven compared to Nigeria. Nigeria is a shit hole country
Same as South Africa. They have done the same things here and everywhere else they go. It can't be everyone else but you. If everyone doesn't want anything to do with you, then you're the problem. Nigerians need to start taking accountability for themselves.
I'm always amazed and annoyed at the same time when I see "good" nigerians being shocked why they are denied entry in other countries yet they know very well that the is a pandemic of Nigerians that are notorious for going to foreign countries and doing crime like selling drugs.Bad nigerians are not written in the forehead that they are bad,other countries don't want to take that risk.
Thank you! They know what their brothers and/or sisters are doing in other people's countries. While it might not be all of them, the ones that do bad things, they do very bad, unacceptable and intolerable things. There's no way of telling which ones are bad and which ones are not. So it becomes safer to just lock all of them out.
You’re right, it’s not written on the forehead and it’s good not to take such risks. But in cases where the visa applicant has no criminal record and is traveling for a very productive reason, denying them entry makes no sense. I believe there are better ways of handling the situation. In any case, as as a Nigerian, I believe it was our fault in the first place and we must be willing to clean our mess.
My friend was rejected 3 times. Still doesn't know why. He was told by the agent it was because of his age (22) & single. Also because he had never travelled before. After seeing your video I'm sure it was because he was a 22 year old Nigerian.
There has never been a generation as talented and enterprising as this. Thank God you didn't miss it. I am so proud of you and the African TH-cam ambassadors like Wode Maya, Miss Trudy, Vanessa Kanbi and co..
So glad you finally made it here. Trust me, the stereotyping is on another level. Nigerians are so many things bad in UAE, from doing drugs, to prostitution, scam and cultism. In fact, the UAE Government is tired of us. And sincerely, our wahala too much. These blockheads are just making things more harder for the rest of us. I pray our Government intervenes and gets this issue resolved asap. God bless Nigeria. 🇳🇬
At least your are honest about the fact and not getting into emotions to treat it. I'm from chad and also base in Dubai and just two weeks ago our fellows from Nigeria aggresse an Indian guy in Dubai industrial city and the camera catch them. I really felt ashamed and guilty for what's happened and as you may know even India they look down on us African here in the UAE. So it's days long before I was about to lift my head up.
Atleast ur telling the truth unlike others sugar coating things .some of them are the reasons Africans are put in one basket being labeled all sorts of names n the tribalism in them lol after doing crap thy still hv the audacity to argue like ooh am not ibo,ooh yoruba are blah blah ,Ausa are ths n tht etc the fact remains ur from West African tarnishing the name of the country

I almost got scammed and went do jail because of a group of nigerians in Dubai, . The stereotype about Nigerians is based on experience, that does not mean that all Nigerians are scammers or criminals, but i great number of nigerians in Dubai are... sorry! I´m glad you didnt miss that opportunity.

Oh that can be so frustrating, Sorry For that, I was also watching to see you, since I saw Wode Maya and others, I really enjoy the summit, but thank God you later joined . God's will keep protecting you. AMEN
It’s not a stereotype. It’s more like a reputation. Most Nigerians have a bizarre love affair with crime and criminals; from the leaders to the average man on the streets. There seems to be a mentality, a national mentality that sees crime and misdeed as viable means to an end. It is widely accepted for politicians and very accepting for the average people in the country. To be sure, Nigeria is not the only country with this program but countries have the right to protect themselves and if restricting the entry of Nigerians to their country is one of the ways, we can’t blame them for it. Nigeria has to do a lot of soul searching relative to our relationship with crime. Hopefully young and upcoming Nigerians can do that. At least create a national consciousness that makes it clear that crime is repudiated and criminals are seen as outcasts. Today the average Nigerian knows all they have to do is make it by fair or foul means and they have a place in the society, and the admiration of the populace. From politicians to civil servants, to yahoo boys to thugs and “spiritualists” shun them all and draw a distinguishing line between you and them.
Many Nigerians abroad have good jobs and work hard my uncles and auntie‘s for example a doctors and lawyers and very successful in the UK and US but when they do that the good to put a group together but when bad people do stuff the bad people group everyone together. We need to cheat people as individuals the bad people are horrible but exist and every society
I bet you your uncles and aunties have dual nationalities and only use their Nigerian passports when they travel to Nigeria. Nevertheless, that’s not even the point. We do have to change the way our Nigerian society regard crime and treat criminals. Right now we do more condoning that criminalizing. We seem to have blurred the line between law abiding citizens and criminals, and that’s not good for our national image.
Is very sad I am a Ghanaian married to Nigerian I am based in Canada 🇨🇦 and because of stereotypes is hard for him to get his visa to join me here they stressing him so much not fair 😢
The disenfranchisement from global opportunities for holding a third-world passport is not something anyone should have to go through. I hope countries can start making decisions based on personal excellence rather than stereotypes. We'll win.
Well, the stereotype is just one way to exclude 3rd world countries from gaining those opportunities and creating wealth..Basically, we are being tolerated..once you cough the wrong way, you are thrown out..Once one of us does something, they go after all of us..Africa needs to get her acts together otherwise we won’t get any respect…If our countries are strong economically and militarily, they will automatically know how not to stereotype..This is how the world works..Even if 99% of Nigerians or Africans behave right, they will focus on the 1% that is bad.. And yes, I fully support countries imposing 100% punishments on foreigners who misbehave..Crime is evil …
Well said Tayo, to add to that Nigerians have some of the smartest people in the world that contribute positively to make the world a better place. Like Doctors,engineers, content creators, architects, business men and so on can you imagine denying them visas because of some other person’s crime?? Not a solution in stoping criminals from doing what they do
Unfortunately, the world will continue to look down on Nigerians until Nigeria as a country gets it act together. We can’t expect outsiders to respect us when our leaders don’t even value the lives of their citizens.
I bet to disagree....everything negative about this country is attributed to Nigerians, we don't have to be great to behave ourselves wherever we go. Some little African countries have so much reputations out there because their citizens are well behaved. What on earth are they taking cultism to Dubai or any other foreign country for? Same with Italy, Nigerians are honestly the problem. I pray we change for good.
@@sidex4 fully agree. Go to Nigeria embassy in London and see them behaving like animals. Is Buhari there? In most countries it's "just a few bad eggs". In Nigeria, it's "just a few good eggs"
@@BroadwayBully1 i see people blaming the leaders all the time....see, if we haven't taken ourselves for granted I swear no mumu leaders would try to take us for granted....especially the diasporans, the way we misbehave is just too outrageous, after fucki.ng up and get arrested, we will start blaming the leaders for not bailing us out. Especially these guys in Dubai and Italy.
The fact is, a lot of your people get up to no good in foreign countries. Whether it's Africa, Europe, Asia, America or even Australia. You are not being targeted, countries just don't want to import more crime than they have already. Of course, no one can tell you anything because everyone is just being 'jealous' of your 'greatness'. Time to reflect and change. It's all your doing. Bitter, but that's the truth.
Okay, mate, you sound real bitter. Lost a job to Nigerian did you? Being shamed by Nigerians excelling your own low performing group are you? Sounds about right.
It's funny how they are denying the facts and calling people racist and crying discrimination. People want peace but unfortunately, a lot of their people don't. So the authorities of Dubai have to do something about it.
@@bubblegummm It's always other people's fault. Everybody else is racist, jealous, has no sense etc. It's never them getting to a point of reflection, trying to find out why almost every country they go to, the locals always complain about their criminal activities. In South Africa, they say we're xenophobic and jealous of their "success". So, as a sign of African unity, we must stand back and let them continue destroying our communities 🙂.
@@tallest4eva The only thing morally wrong here is your countrymen misbehaving wherever they go. Don't blame other people for the image that you yourselves have created worldwide. Countries have every right to be cautious when it comes to accepting Nigerians based on the reputation that you have built wherever you go.
I'm glad you finally got the opportunity to rep 🇳🇬 Hopefully the stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Let's keep being better people out there to the point the world can't deny us no more...
So sad to hear about your experience, but you are definitely a fighter. Most people would have given up after the first application was declined. With that spirit that you have you will achieve great things!!!
Im a Pakistani, I have respect fro Nigerians , they are respectful people but there are always bad people in community in Pakistanis also. Now what you have to do is all those who are bringing a bad name to Nigeria you should teach them a lesson and help/co-operate the guest country Italy, UAE etc to teach these bad people some lesson, evrything will be ok. The future is yours . Prayers for the Great people and land of Nigeria...
Nigerians must fix themselves, you can’t blame countries for not trusting you when you know your reputation, Nigerians are problem everywhere in the world, here in SA we don’t have the resources to deal with international criminals, they must just pack in leave our country. Respect is earned!
@@naciakoketso6636 so you think your xenophobia should prevent countries like Dubai from accepting your visa processes? You think your history of xenophobic so be a factor? This guy is TH-camr they could have atleast done a little research
I thank God for you bro. Congratulations!!! It is well with us and all.Amen. Let's keep changing the narrative in our best ways for good because it is saddening. Well done and well done bros mi.🗣👏👏👏
I love what you are saying, it's a pity that not everyone will agree with you, I'm 🇿🇦 and I would say this being open minded helps on all sides and I would say also coming into someone's space one has to learn to conform to certain things and would like to also add if your countrymen are seen as being in collusion with wrongdoers by not condemning criminal acts and instead telling locals your perceived history about them no one will have sympathy, having said all this Nigerians are hardworking and smart but unfortunately the darkness always overshadows the light.
The major problem is that most guys that always do that sheat are not working in Dubai 90% of them are tourist and they are between age of 20 to 35 years old. People that have resident and working in Dubai will never want to tarnish his or her image. Now it's affecting mostly good Nigerians now .
@Tayo, Glad that you finally got your entrance, am residing here also in Dubai and honestly some Nigerians are terrible with there behaviors and mentality.I got a heavy slap in my first apartment here in Abu Dhabi when my roommates were having a cult meeting and and i told them to reduce there voices so that i could sleep but the Slap i got from those guys is still fresh even after 5years.Moreso,some others African countries now crimes but are been attached under our names. Presently because of this horrible behaviors ,so many have lost there jobs, they are now scavengers because companies are not renewing for Nigerians at the moment. We are all hoping they lifts the ban soon before it becomes OSHODI because so many are now on the street and as the saying goes...####An idle place is the devil's workplace###. .........#THE STREET ARE GETTING FULL#
This is why we Nigerians should learn lessons. We can make our country great! Let's come back and fight for our right. It start with the youth guys.. I lived and worked in Dubai for over 10years. I saw the good the bad and the ugly. At a point I made up my mind to head back home where I belong. It's my country I cannot run away from it. Let's face our reality and better our country.
When I was younger in SA I always thought Nigerians are drug dealers. I was naive but that’s all I saw of those in SA sadly, then when I went to Europe I met so many amazing Nigerian people that opened my mind up to their country! I hope things change for the better! These rotten apples paint Africa as a bad place man. SA lost its visa free entry to the UK due to the same rotten apples in our country.
@@nokulungamadoda7615 Thank you for this, the problem in South Africa about Nigerians is, the government has allowed miscreants from Nigeria to enter South Africa, and they have nothing to give the economy than to start doing illegal stuffs... I am a good representation of a Nigerian in SA, went to a good University in Limpopo which I had a great time at... Nigerians in Canada are also a good representation of the country because most of them are making it big in the system in here and are doing great things...

As a South African, Nigeria is my favorite country in Africa. Never been there but planning to visit. It's unfortunate how things turned out in SA, but to be honest, these scum bags don't represent you well. But that hasn't change my perspective. Still love Naija.
Not all is lost, Nigeria is the greatest country in Africa, you have some of the smartest people in the world, your doctors, engineers, are all over the world, your IT sector is growing so fast that everyone in the world is amazed, companies like flutterwave are doing wonders, Aliko Dangote the richest black person is building the biggest oil refinery in the world, Nigeria thanks to Dangote is exporting fertilizer to countries like India and Brazil, Ngozi iweala is a global leader, let no Nigerian say they are embarrassed of their country, you should proudly shout at the top of your voice that you are an ambassador of a beautiful, powerful country made up over 200 million unique people, God bless Nigeria, much love from Kenya.
Well I'm not Nigerian, but I have a few Nigerian friends. Sadly...here in Malaysia, Nigerians have a very bad reputation and it affects all Africans as well. I have been denied acess to multiple places because somone thought I was Nigerian until I showed my id. The bad guys are more prevelnt and maybe solving the issue starts from Nigeria, if the government takes more proactive measures against these guys before they leave....
Tayo, you have a platform and i know have done this before, please encourage your Nigerian brothers(especially) to respect other countries laws. It can't be that the world is complaining about Nigeria and all Nigerians say is the it's just " a few rotten apples". And don't compare yourselves with others on bad actions, take accountability for Nigerians actions. If 1000 poisonous snakes out of 100,000 attack you, there won't be any time to check which ones are poisonous and which ones are not. You will kill anyone that approaches for your safety. So please, also understand the position those few Nigerians put the countries through. All the best.
A Nigerian engineer sent me his CV and I was very impressed so I invited him in for interview. A lot of people from his last company work for us including the person who would have managed him previously. I asked him (Ade) would it be OK to get a reference from his former manager who now works here and he said of course Mark will very nice things about me. On his CV he had worked for the company for four years which shows some stability. Long story short, he only worked there for 3 weeks over 18 months ago and was fired after learning his qualifications were forged and he did not have a masters degree in engineering.
Even in Italy, landlords are rejecting Nigerians.
We as Nigerians also need to play our part by being responsible, law-abiding and respectful representatives of our country wherever we go.
Good point
So true..
The point is they don't want you there in the first place!!Then super under pay u are want hire u at all. So ppl turn to crime to survive! Just like in Dubai
Very good point and to be honest Nigerians do not have a good reputation ! This is what i have witnessed myself from many countries I have been. Very disappointing to see that we have amazing Nigerians out there
Other Nigerians are get an enter to Italy.
I had an experience here in the US, I found a wallet on a street in NYC, wallet had bunch of money, credit/debit cards, i.ds of all kinds, social security card. Obviously, it fell from the pocket of someone unknown to them, Cars were running across the wallet, I picked it, took to the police, they took my details and got in contact with the owner; owner was already going crazy. They invited him to get his wallet, he got there, he checked his wallet and demanded to see me so as to appreciate me in words and cash. I told the police to tell him that he shouldn't border about giving me something. I only told them to tell him "Am from Nigeria"..and that's how we do, I did it not to get appreciated but because it's the right thing to do. Wherever we find ourselves, let's try to promote this Nigerian brand.
God bless you. I am surprised nobody commented on your post. And they just gave you one like. Well, I am adding the second like. I cannot tell how many phones I have returned in a bank, in my office, etc. And money too. And yes, I am a Nigerian!

I feel your pain Tayo. It's sickening to see Nigerians being stereotyped. The percentage of Nigerians in diaspora who do these wrong things are small, yet when people hear Nigeria, negative things comes to mind. I attended an engineering event yesterday in London and I was so shocked to see 90% of the speakers are Nigerians. These are Executive Directors and top managers in multinationals, yet it's the few percent of the bad Nigerians that the world sees.
Unfortunately the few rotten apples do enough damage to take attention from the good ones. It's not only in Dubai, people have this stigma across Africa and certain parts of Europe.
So saddening.
@@OlatundeAdegbola
Yupp, I myself have had a few bad experiences with Nigerians but I'm also aware of that the vast majority are law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, once you've had that one bad experience you keep your guard up and when you hear about similar incidents it only adds to your prejudice.
I don't mean to offend Nigerians, but the problems caused by Nigerians are happening almost all over the world, for example in Japan, specifically in Shinjuku and Kabukicho, where a lot of Nigerians have been arrested because of burglary cases and riots. Another examples happenin a third world country, (Indonesia) where a diplomat was arrested for resisting immigration officials when asked for a report and riots occurred at the Nigerian embassy in Jakarta.
I know not all Nigerians are like that but small things like that can damage the image of your country and your own people. I know your feelings styrotype by other countries like this I also feel it because I am a Muslim who is always styrotype as an terrorist

May Allah guide these fools ameen.
I’m an Emirati and I’ve met/studied with amazing Nigerian people abroad in USA.
Unfortunately the incident you included is only one of many cases in Dubai. I don’t know how this came to be but a lot of workers coming from Nigeria or on visit visas would participate in gang activities and theft here in Dubai. As this issue progressed the government took that unfortunate decision of making it difficult for men of that age group to enter Dubai. On the other hand there is many Nigerian workers I interact with daily and they are hard working honest people and always extremely well mannered.

@@TO-xm1vh it's narrow mindedness
What I'm certain about is that the good Nigerians will not live amongst Nigerian neighborhoods in South Africa because of dodgy staff happening there..They won't even dare raise their children especially the girl child in those communities and that's how bad things are..Nigerians need to be honest in acknowledging the reason why other countries are not comfortable living amongst them without being in denial , defending themselves, blaming other countries giving them all sorts of names by pointing out the obvious problems.. The values , attitude and general conduct of any visitor xuld be acceptable and in comfort with the host..
Thank you for outlining our current situation (SA) so beautifully. The biggest problem is not acknowledging that the fellow brothers are really messing up other countries, it's only that day when a family member becomes the victim then they will understand. I feel Nigerians need to preach to fellow Nigerians because what the bad apples are doing is inhumane.
Thank you for not giving up. This obviously a lesson we all need to learn from. To keep trying until we succeed.
First off, I'm so glad to had come across this video. I'm a Nigerian Residing in Dubai, the stigmas and stereotypes placed on Nigerians here is crazy and unthinkable. Though there are valid reasons behind them, but as you said We not the worst people in the world, cause we have other nationalities committing same offenses Nigerians are committing, even worse. Unfortunately people see it differently when its coming from a black person, not to mention a Nigerian, then it will make the headlines. Racism still exist in Dubai. And its saddening. I worked at the just concluded event, EXPO2020 DUBAI, which i saw in the video. People get to enjoy my company and conversations and they'd want to know where I'm from which I'd tell them, I'm from Nigeria, then they'd stop talking to me. I then asked myself, even if we are the worst people on earth, at least meeting one good person from there shouldn't make a different? But seeing the way some of our people behave here sickens me. Mentioning some certain sets of people would be rude, I'm just gonna generalize it. Our people here lack courtesy and public etiquette. Even the ones employed misbehave on duty, not all though, some. We just need to educate ourselves of these things, cause we are so used to rough life living mentality that people still have to travel/migrate with it. Bringing cultism to another country is just way out of it, just to mention few. I was even planing on opening a Vlog on TH-cam here and also on TikTok. Just to educate our people in diaspora how to behave and adapt to their new environment/home.
I think you should open that vlog. The world needs to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Well all you said here is nothing but the truth.
But let me start here, up till today I still believe that the bureau de change robbery by some Nigerians back then actually exposed Nigerians to these people, Arabians don't forgive easily.
Then our people after then, hmmmmm
Just like you said, trying to point fingers at some certain people can only make it worse because we know how we make defence in this country (religion, tribe, ethnicity, politics etc)
Even in all the accommodations I have stayed alone, I see how these people do things and give the I don't care attitude, in a state where alcohol is illegal, you just see them litre everywhere with alcoholic cans and bottles right from the top roof to the first floor, selling hard 💊, abortion 💊, robbing Arabs of their valuables through prostitution, how many can we even mention, then "CULTISM" 😭😭.
I have seen some grocery stores complaining of how our people spend fake money to them, seriously I don't understand how they go about all these things, even using fake plate numbers in the country like that.
I notice we try to use the excuse of not being the only bad country in there, but the fact remains that they have better and robust relationship with these other countries especially Pakistan 🇵🇰 India 🇮🇳 and Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
Some other African countries now claim Nigerian when caught in an act since they know that's the focus, only to get to know they lied after seeing their papers.
I actually left the country when I noticed that's not the place for me, I am an easy going person but if care is not taken anyone can be implicated.
I was lucky to escape a raid on my accommodation sometimes ago, all those found inside that day were parked and some never returned till I left.
I still believe the best way to help us as a nation is for the UAE 🇦🇪 government to help punish culprits of any crime accordingly.
Nigerians own re insane so u the good ones should talk about it and educate ur people Simplicita
thank you, my brother, I feel you but there is much to this than the way people perceive Nigerians in Dubai, Dubai makes more money from Nigeria than the rest of the Africans, I can say if the problem is about bad Nigerians, the Dubai govt. knows them and they can deal with the bad ones separately, why deny the good ones work permit on the basis of what the bad ones did? why keep approving tourist visas if you don't want Nigerians? why return the convicted ones back to Dubai when they can deport them, why is our govt. not saying anything to the Dubai govt over this? i know we need to do better out there but enough of pointing all the blames on our citizen. first I will say people judge Nigerians based on the negative things they read and see in the media they don't care about the good ones. I also live in Dubai I noticed any bad news from a black man is attached to a Nigerian like we are the only black nation in Dubai. i feel that segregation is more in Dubai than the rest of the world which is a result of Arabs Racism. Nigerians still remain the best black nation here in Dubai but we are been quickly judged by the bad ones they see and forget the good ones also exist. is there any nation that doesn't have good and bad people? I can tell you the atrocities the Asians e.g. Pakistan and Indians commit here in Dubai are more than the Nigerians but they won't talk about it. I've seen videos and comments from the reasonable ones who get close to Nigerians talk good things and said we are still the best black nation so I'll hold to that positivity and leave the negative ones.
@@sourcestvghuk9897 keep quiet all Nigerians know that Ghanaians is enemy of progress no solution only hate

When Nigeria is winning everyone cheers one Africa but see how everyone is distancing themselves. Ruined my day but you just saved it thank you one more time
Chachine!!!!!!!!!
I don't think people realise how much that Hushpuppi situation has put a red flag on Nigerian travellers - even if you have dual nationalities the stereotypes and mistreatment is going to reach an all time high
But Americans arrested for loan scams, Russians arrested for hacking, Italians and Brazilians for drugs is not affecting their countries. It is racism! Racists need a reason to be racists.
Because your black, anti black racism
Hushpuppi isn't the only scammer in the entire world. Why is what he did or didn't do affecting hundreds of millions of innocent Nigerians who had no part in his alleged crimes? America had a president who tried to overthrow the government of his duly-elected successor in a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. Does Dubai issue a blanket ban on white Americans coming to their country because of the actions of that one man? It is not a good excuse. Treat individual Nigerians individually, not blanket ban them for things they didn't even do!
@@jalabi99 THAT'S the problem it has made us the face of this fraudulent rubbish and its affecting the everyday traveller that just wants to go on a decent holiday and take a break with heir hard earned salary. Stigmas stick for a long time

I have been in South Africa for the last five years before making a decision to go back home to Malawi. Above 90% of Nigerians in South Africa are either selling drugs or doing online scams. Even a traffic officer advised me not to buy a car from any Nigerian Car Dealership because most of the cars are having criminal offenses that might get me into trouble. What you have experienced is sad because you had a good cause for going to Dubai. I just wish Nigerians could start behaving themselves well in other people's countries. However, there are more Nigerians that are doing bad things than those who are travelling for a good cause.
I wish all the best Tayo. Blessings.
Thank you for telling the truth ❤❤❤
So because of a few bad people, you stereotype thewhole country.
Above 90% of Nigerians you say?
How did you come up with your statistics?
You can do better with the stereotype.
@@odochiohia those who have been to South Africa knows that I am telling the truth. Don't catch feelings here, many nations speak of the bad things Nigerians do. In South Africa its even worse.

@@ambessashield9360 Nigerians should make Nigeria great. You can't do that by leaving to get government benefits elsewhere.
I am a South African and I have a lot of friends from different African countries including Nigeria. I have also had the opportunity to travel to other African countries. Unfortunately some Nigerians here have really stained the reputation of hard working Nigerians especially with the drug dealing, prostitution issues. A lot of South Africans were understandably very upset when we lost our UK visa free status, which many attributed (whether justified or not) to Nigerians using fraudulent South African documents to get to the UK. It's really bad PR for Nigeria as much as Xenophobia is for our country. Hopefully someday all these stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Everyone should just behave accordingly and respect the laws when visiting or residing in other countries. It's not that difficult.
Same thing happened to Kenya. Our passport was highly respected. But Somalis and Nigerians fraudulently aquired Kenyan citizen. The end of visa free travel.☹️
@@catherinenyoro3953 Honestly a very upsetting thing.

@@TayoAinaFilms I have recieved it sir and provided the necessary information, waiting for your response soon. 🙏❤
This is really sad! However, it is fair and necessary for us (Nigerians) to look inward first and admit that we put ourselves in this condition. How are we treating ourselves in Nigeria or better still in Africa? Do we treat humans as humans? How are we being treated by our governments? A continent where the lives of human beings are not valued. The government of Nigeria should be ashamed. "Charity begins at home" According to Yoruba proverb " Akeregbe lo ma so ibiti a ma fi okun si lorun e". Hmmmm!
Yes true, I have nothing against Nigerians but they're also misbehaving here in Kenya. And you should also ask yourselves why your country has a problem with every other country in the world.
have a look Dr John Henrik Clarke on African Narrative: th-cam.com/video/EnJtYDNIui8/w-d-xo.html
It is not a government thing. It is an African thing and Africans are in African governments. Before they were employed by the government they were already Africans, Therefore if you were in the government you would be doing the same thing.
Stop blaming your government
In the early 2000s, there were no security patrols, it was said you could forget your bag and wallet on the bus or in a store, return hours even days and see your item intact.
Now in Dubai or Dheira, theft is on the rise, Nigerians see jewelry stores, banks, no security and think it is easy pickings.
This is why Africa has to build for itself. You don't see Emiratis spending all their money and resources in Nigeria. Dubai was a desert 30 years ago and look at what they've done in that time frame.
You had every right to attend this event Tayo.
You my bro , have said it all , that is nothing but an excuse to ban Africans from access into Dubai , Dubai is filled with mafia lords and sex traffickers , yet no one does a thing about it , only when it comes to Africa they are so quick to decide.
The only thing I would say is that it is easier to do so when you have a complete monarchy with a dubious human rights record and less than 2 million Emirate population and with pretty unlimited oil resources. That said all African countries should do the utmost to make sure that all African citizens can live a dignified and fulfilling life on our continent.
Dude @ 7:45 - why are you Blaming Poor Nigerians for the things that they do do in a land where they get no respect.

#NigeriaWeMove
Nigerians are just bein stigmatized for no reason.true there are so many that are criminally minded,they are a handful.si many other nationalities too are involved in heinous crimes,but they won't hammer it ,it's only Nigerians that they stigmatize.it stems from the fact that the West finds Nigerians very intelligent, hardworking,and we also have enterpreneural skills which they don't want in any black man.they believe nothing good comes from a black man but Nigerians excel in all fields of endeavours so they are afraid of our country.they are the ones distabilizing our country so we won't move forward bcos they don't want it.but I tell you we will emerge again and they will be shamed .that is when we at home learn not to vote for mediocrity and bad leaders bcos of the bribe they will offer but vote for good and visionary leaders,not leaders who will say presidency is a life long ambition that they have been nursing.those type of leaders dont have anything to offer but failure. Let us shine our eyes this time.
Nigeria ,my country is the best Country in the world despite her challenges.she will emerge again and she will overcome by the Grace of God Almighty.
Hello readers,
I worked in Dubai few years and just returned home Nigeria. The mentality of quick rich syndrome and other criminalities among some Nigerians are frightening. Nigerians felt that u can't cheat or intimidate them which is good but they apply it in criminal acts.
Other national especially Asians commit crime too but they value life of their victims. Some Nigerian criminals don't.
Those in street deals kill with out thinking the potential consequences.
Other national resent Nigerians mostly on account of wasting life , habaaa.
This thing they call being smart atimes means to be criminal minded.
Nigerians equally dupe themselves with reckless abandon. I was in a random questioning at my residence which has 98% of other nationals, police stated that Nigerians are troublesome when they got to know identity.
My company going concern was badly threatened because a Nigerian surreptitiously hijacked the company and left .
Our ladies too are not left out.
In all sincerity to uae 🇦🇪 they are trying to descalate it before it affects the minds of potential tourist audience that dubai is infested with criminals. We.all know the huspuppy saga that put uae in bad light globally.
However , we have many Nigerians that are sought-after in many fields because of their seriousness and dedication.
Our problem starts from us and only us can effect a desired change . Be a good ambassador of Nigerian where ever you go.
Am still here, and everything you typed is true... But then I believe we are also very victimized bcos av seen a lot of other nationals commiting crime
@@Itsmeagain12345 wherever we are, let’s be more focused on those nationalities not committing much crime, and use them as our model. We shouldn’t use those committing crime as excuse. Crime doesn’t pay!
😨
Nigerian government should do the homework properly. Government shouldn't allow criminals or people with criminal history to leave Nigeria. This should solve a lot of issues normal nigerian people are facing in other countries.
So what is the incentive for the Nigerian government to spend money to keep the criminals from leaving? 🤷🏾♀️
Will the Government follow Criminals to apply for Visas?..
I think rather that it's the individual Embassies that should do greater screening of potential Visitors to their Countries, and through a process of Interview, determine the suitability or otherwise of their Applications.
The UK, USA & other European countries do screen before granting Visas!!
It's sad that some can ruin things for the innocent but the moral of the stories is not to give up, if you want something in your life you have togo get it
Were you there as well? Or you still travelling South America ?
Ace the man
Ace we want you to explore the continent bro!

Greatness comes from small things and persistence. Ignore the stereotype and be the best version of yourself and in the process of being you. You represent Nigeria or any country you're from. Most especially we represent Afrikans. So we should stop stereotyping ourselves first. Change the image how we see ourselves and the world will see us how we see ourselves
Hello Tayo , my name is Joy and I’m a Nigerian who is currently living here in Dubai.

I had a similar experience a few months ago. The sad thing about these "blanket rejections" is that honest people with good intentions to visit a country and explore are being profiled and refused entry for no fault of their own.

Visit South Africa and you will understand why Nigerians are rejected almost everywhere, their evil actions overshadow anything good that exist in the world
You just had to include that Xenophobic country into this. Why did your country have a high crime rate even before other Africans started living your country.

Too bad Tayo! I have best friends from Nigeria and I learn from them with shock how stereotypes about Nigerians even affect their ability to travel to fellow African countries. I’m really sorry about this. The world needs to do better!!! There are bad people everywhere. It doesn’t make the citizens of those countries bad people.
Nope! Nigerians need to let go of the victim card mentality and call their own citizens to order.
Please stop. Nigerian need to do better. If everyone doesn't want anything to do with you, then you're the problem. Most countries in the world don't want Nigerians in their countries. And this is based on thier own individual experiences with Nigerians. They need to start taking accountability for thier actions. Those who don't commit crime, enable it or don't condemned it. They need to fix themselves.
I think by now the stereotypes are global.. am from south Africa.
Thank you for speaking up against those Nigerians that do bad things, but if we sweep the deeds of those that do bad "Nigerians" in this case we won't help the situation as it's now a global issue.
If we speak up against it more and admit certain things... I think it will help the situation.
The best way to cure, is to admit there is a trend and something needs to be done.
Well said
My question becomes how do you deny someone based on the actions of a few. Most of the Nigerians I met in Abu Dhabi were hardworking individuals.
They are crazy, I don’t even like those Arabic countries

Wow! This is sad, how can they do that when you have a summit to attend. Traveling with a Nigerian passport is a struggle. I'm glad you were able to finally travel.
As an African American...it is because of you that I am planning to visit Nigeria! I have watched your many vlogs and interviews and I have fallen in love with the country! Im so sorry that you had to endure what you endured to travel. I know that you must've paid an astronomical amount of money to travel at the last minute like that! You deserved to arrive and be treated with the same dignity as everyone else in that panel. Please continue to share and do the work that you're doing. You are being watched and you are effective! More importantly, you are loved!
I have a saying.
"Those who are determined to love me will see no wrong in me.
Those who are determined to hate me will see no good in me."
As African Americans...we also face stereotypes. One Black person can do something wrong and the whole group is expected to bear the burden.
I remember speaking to a middle aged Hispanic woman once who told me she didnt like Black people because someone Black bullied her in elementary school. So for 40+ years she harbored that feeling toward Black people because of something one Black person did to her!
Anyway...I think we have to develop the stance of Nehemiah (in the Bible). Keep doing the work. Keep working for change. Dont let the naysayers stop you from making your people...your country a better place.
Yay! You’re welcome to Nigeria anytime, come feel the hustling spirit of my people and take it back home ❤️❤️ thank you for this comment
It is sad, unfair and unfortunate but our fellow Nigerians spoiling it for the rest of us truly don't give a damn. That's the hard truth.

As sad as this is, I'm almost relieved that it's not only South Africans who don't see it for Nigerians. It seems Nigerians that leave Nigeria go out to cause chaos everywhere they go. Of course its not all of them, but the ones that do, they cause enough damage.
Unfortunately Nigerian have a terrible reputation. The ones that do bad, they do really scary and terrible things. Scary enough to not want any Nigerians around. Stereotyping is still wrong.

This is crazy and I feel your pain. I've been in the US for 9years now. I work as a sales rep in an international relocation company and I speak with prospective clients everyday and also doing on-site estimates due to the nature of my job. My point is this, most Nigerian put people like me and you in a bad place where people already have an opinion about us before we could even introduce ourself. Is like we are already guilty until we can prove otherwise, I have found myself telling clients that am from Togo just to gain their trust. Is a shame, how Nigerians are known globally for fraud. We need to change our attitude and represent the country in a positive manner. I'm glad you are able to attend the summit.
Well, i don't see mexicans in the USA being ashamed of where they come from....even when their rate of drugs and gang related crimes is at an alarming proportion in the USA...... just ask yourself why you have to be punished for the crime of another nigerian....it is deeper than you think
Lying about your identity is a case of low-self-esteem; stereotyping is a sickness resulting from ignorance. Your country is not bad because of its citizens but due to bad leadership.

I am not Nigerian but very proud of the positive work and image that you and a host of other African content creators and professionals put out there. I am really sorry that you had to go through what you did. It should be noted though that it is the primary responsibility of these countries to protect their citizens at all cost( unlike most African countries). I am sure that their decision to target an age range of a particular country is based on data and not random. Their country is a tourism hotspot partly because of safety/security and nothing is going to impede that success, even if it means innocent people like yourself being impacted. The problem lies squarely on our brothers and sisters who choose a life of crime, caring less as to how it affects others.
That is very sad, but there is a bright side to it though, the experience led to the creation of this great video. I wish we do better as Nigerians outside and inside our country
Woooow Tayo, I am so happy you were able to represent Nigeria, you've always been an inspiration to me. God bless you. It is high time Nigerians began to represent us well😤😤
Its high time that some Nigerians worked on their reputations, in Kenya I had a chance of living with some of them in an apartment,The fights with other tenants were endless,the noises at night and a Rape incidence with an underage girl, since then my opinion on Nigerians changed
This was a very good and much-needed video. Nigerians need to reprimand bad behavior from other Nigerians because this ruins reputations. Today, it's Nigerian men ages 20-35. I will not be surprised if this is expanded to the Nigerian women who go over there to become escorts.
@@FishOnBroTv With South Africans, that's just a weird one. Sadly enough, 8 out of 10 times, when I hear SA talk about other Black Africans especially Nigerians, I'm jarred by the level of hate they seem to have.
Of course, not all South Africans are like that, but I could go to a video about Nigerians - could be a video about food or music - and there will be those hateful comments singling out Nigerians with the commenter so proud to say they are Africans.
The videos I've seen of the mistreatment of Black Africans in South Africa is also very disappointing.
Nigeria has many issues that need to be tackled starting from accountability, but hate is not the answer.
I'm so sorry about the bad experience. It really breaks my heart when I think of the way some bad eggs from Nigerians keep tarnishing our image abroad. Thank God you met up with the event.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
I truly agree with you on that,
I must say crypto is the future and with the way Bitcoin is climbing so high it's really advisable for people to invest now.,
Some people are ignorant of profitability in forex investment and that has been the major issues limiting their investment.

We have acculturated criminality. We relish and celebrate corruption. That is the issue.
There are so many things happening in the US and no one has ever used that to judge Americans. Everyone is so quick to stereotype Nigerians, especially some Africans.
We could see the power tussle between the UAE and Nigeria. All what these people want is a timid and Nigeria is not ready for that. We saw UK placed like 8 African countries on COVID restriction until they added Nigeria and Nigeria retaliated. They should keep stereotyping us, make Dem continue. Na their wahala
Thank you.. Na only you get sense for here..
When Nigerians succeeds u hear the same African preaching that we are all Africans stuff they are hypocrites
You have said it all. This is more of a political issue between Nigeria and Dubai. Thank God Nigeria is not a timid country. This is why I wish we don't breakup as a country.
For over 10 months now they are not giving Nigeria working permit it a pity nobody is talking for us
Very well said! We need our governments to stand up to these bullies..And I am happy Nigeria has stood up to UK and UAE..In UAE, they have many Nigerians with expired visas.. and especially in Sharjah..What is UAE doing about that? Why not enforce your laws? They won’t..they use most of them as cheap underground labour..but when they commit crimes, they come to complain..Hypocrites!!
I'm An African (Ugandan), I must inform you one thing! Dubai is a free city with an extreme multi cultural environment. However, you must respect the Emirati culture of peace and non violence. Avoid handling misunderstandings in a radical but rather in a humble and systematic way. Energy doesn't solve misunderstandings in Dubai. Also the mentality of yahoo boys and making quick money from the city is a no no. When high expectation of lies meets the harsh reality, people find it depressing and looking for options. It NEVER works in Dubai. Try learning the system first before u get dissapointed. All public have the nigerian stereotype because of NOT willing to adapt to the new system.
Our churches themselves are violent, if you listen to how they scream in husky voices when they preach. They are therefore gonna produce violent people. We do not wanna learn. It is not only Nigerians but the entire Africa.
Alot Nigerians here in kenya have run away with airbnb rent money. I am a victim. Lost money to a number of them that i thought we had created some sort of friendship since we are age mates. Not to mention their involvement in drugs and drugging naive kenyan ladies. They have really left a bad image here. Lots of complaints in police stations. But all the same i refuse to stereotype and judge all Nigerians as bad. I have met a good number of good ones. We still keep in touch months after going back home. One love Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤️
Sorry about that but I am glad you said there are still very good and honest Nigerians living in Kenya ,I feel so bad too when people judge me bad just because I am a Nigeria even when I don't do those things as crimes but you need to know there are some imposters in Kenya that are not Nigerians but hiding under that name to do evil . one love Kenya …
But talking about the girls I will tell you that is done with their knowledge BECAUSE those girls take all manner of hard drugs and they do anything for the love of money let be honest here and its vs also for the guys ,even me I am still careful in choosing my friends irrespective of your nationality. because I know I have an image to protect which i will never allow anyone to destroy which involves been mindful of where you are coming from .
Look, there are bad eggs all over Africa. I've had bad experiences with Kenyans in Dubai as well but it's not right to generalize a whole nation based on the bad experiences you had with a few people. I know a Kenyan girl who told me that a Nigerian kept her in his apartment when she had no where to stay here in Dubai and never for once tried to touch her. He will let her sleep in the room and manage the couch in the living room just so she would feel comfortable. She claims he's the kindest person she ever knew. We just have to learn to separate the bad eggs from the good ones besides Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa we have more people i.e more good and bad. Let's embrace ourselves as Africans. I see a lot of Africans slandering in the comments as well as in real life and it makes me sad. Anyways I'm a rapper and a longtime messenger of one Africa you can check my videos. Peace brother
kenya of all place????? kenya is a very very poor country, nigerians dont go to kenya.
@@jyde50 you are sick, already showing what People think of Nigerians... pride, we might be poor but you will never see or hear a kenyan died trying to cross the Atlantic into Europe on a canoe on the contrary How many Nigerians perish each year trying to get into Europe?? Here in Nairobi soo many Nigerians looking for work...we might be poor but Nigeria calling Kenyan poor is like the pot calling kettle black. Kenya is heaven compared to Nigeria.
Nigeria is a shit hole country
Same as South Africa. They have done the same things here and everywhere else they go. It can't be everyone else but you. If everyone doesn't want anything to do with you, then you're the problem. Nigerians need to start taking accountability for themselves.
I'm always amazed and annoyed at the same time when I see "good" nigerians being shocked why they are denied entry in other countries yet they know very well that the is a pandemic of Nigerians that are notorious for going to foreign countries and doing crime like selling drugs.Bad nigerians are not written in the forehead that they are bad,other countries don't want to take that risk.
Thank you! They know what their brothers and/or sisters are doing in other people's countries. While it might not be all of them, the ones that do bad things, they do very bad, unacceptable and intolerable things. There's no way of telling which ones are bad and which ones are not. So it becomes safer to just lock all of them out.
I don’t understand why they don’t understand lol
You’re right, it’s not written on the forehead and it’s good not to take such risks. But in cases where the visa applicant has no criminal record and is traveling for a very productive reason, denying them entry makes no sense. I believe there are better ways of handling the situation. In any case, as as a Nigerian, I believe it was our fault in the first place and we must be willing to clean our mess.
This is a lesson to most Nigerians. Nigerians have a change of heart please where ever you find yourself in the world.
Sad to hear that but it's not like we Nigerians haven't earned some of these stereotypes
Why aren’t other white countries with crimes stereotyped. Racists need reasons to be racists!
Nigerians are also the most prosperous in Africa aswell though 🤷🏾♂️
we...who?
@@Brewsterman No its not . It has the 2nd highest poverty rate in the world .
@@boxmanfrm nigeria is by far richer than your country
My friend was rejected 3 times. Still doesn't know why. He was told by the agent it was because of his age (22) & single. Also because he had never travelled before. After seeing your video I'm sure it was because he was a 22 year old Nigerian.
There has never been a generation as talented and enterprising as this. Thank God you didn't miss it. I am so proud of you and the African TH-cam ambassadors like Wode Maya, Miss Trudy, Vanessa Kanbi and co..
So glad you finally made it here. Trust me, the stereotyping is on another level. Nigerians are so many things bad in UAE, from doing drugs, to prostitution, scam and cultism. In fact, the UAE Government is tired of us. And sincerely, our wahala too much.
These blockheads are just making things more harder for the rest of us. I pray our Government intervenes and gets this issue resolved asap. God bless Nigeria. 🇳🇬
I have Nigerian friends but it seems a small group are the ones tarnishing the whole country’s name
At least your are honest about the fact and not getting into emotions to treat it. I'm from chad and also base in Dubai and just two weeks ago our fellows from Nigeria aggresse an Indian guy in Dubai industrial city and the camera catch them. I really felt ashamed and guilty for what's happened and as you may know even India they look down on us African here in the UAE. So it's days long before I was about to lift my head up.
Atleast ur telling the truth unlike others sugar coating things .some of them are the reasons Africans are put in one basket being labeled all sorts of names n the tribalism in them lol after doing crap thy still hv the audacity to argue like ooh am not ibo,ooh yoruba are blah blah ,Ausa are ths n tht etc the fact remains ur from West African tarnishing the name of the country
@@nellymatalanga5033 Correction: The fact is there are from Africa, period.
@@jeffyusuf328 I agree bt re read my comment I meant whn u see them #Nigerians defending themselves saying it's is a certain tribe doing ths n that but wht thy forgot it's nt about tribe bt painting the name of Nigeria or Africa as a whole look bad .
So many lessons to be learned from this video. Thank you for sharing.
I almost got scammed and went do jail because of a group of nigerians in Dubai, . The stereotype about Nigerians is based on experience, that does not mean that all Nigerians are scammers or criminals, but i great number of nigerians in Dubai are... sorry! I´m glad you didnt miss that opportunity.
Same I was working in Abu Dhabi, visit my friend without knowing something happened in the building I visited, with my emirate I.D and legally working but they took me along deported me without any crime , bcoz am black , and African
@@missvirgo801 stop saying bcoz am black and african this is so stupid, nigeria and india they have the worst image in the whole world, your problems will never get fixed bcoz you still blaming the skin color
TRUE
Oh that can be so frustrating, Sorry For that, I was also watching to see you, since I saw Wode Maya and others, I really enjoy the summit, but thank God you later joined . God's will keep protecting you. AMEN
It’s not a stereotype. It’s more like a reputation. Most Nigerians have a bizarre love affair with crime and criminals; from the leaders to the average man on the streets. There seems to be a mentality, a national mentality that sees crime and misdeed as viable means to an end. It is widely accepted for politicians and very accepting for the average people in the country.
To be sure, Nigeria is not the only country with this program but countries have the right to protect themselves and if restricting the entry of Nigerians to their country is one of the ways, we can’t blame them for it.
Nigeria has to do a lot of soul searching relative to our relationship with crime. Hopefully young and upcoming Nigerians can do that. At least create a national consciousness that makes it clear that crime is repudiated and criminals are seen as outcasts. Today the average Nigerian knows all they have to do is make it by fair or foul means and they have a place in the society, and the admiration of the populace. From politicians to civil servants, to yahoo boys to thugs and “spiritualists” shun them all and draw a distinguishing line between you and them.
Can you just keep quite?
Many Nigerians abroad have good jobs and work hard my uncles and auntie‘s for example a doctors and lawyers and very successful in the UK and US but when they do that the good to put a group together but when bad people do stuff the bad people group everyone together. We need to cheat people as individuals the bad people are horrible but exist and every society
I bet you your uncles and aunties have dual nationalities and only use their Nigerian passports when they travel to Nigeria.
Nevertheless, that’s not even the point. We do have to change the way our Nigerian society regard crime and treat criminals. Right now we do more condoning that criminalizing. We seem to have blurred the line between law abiding citizens and criminals, and that’s not good for our national image.
@@icedheart610 why should he ? Everything stated here is factual !
@@dorino9057 are u sure u have Doctors and Lawyers as Uncles and Aunties? cause this your english be suspect oooo...lol
Happy to see you made it Tayo. By God's grace we would change the narrative of our country.
Is very sad I am a Ghanaian married to Nigerian I am based in Canada 🇨🇦 and because of stereotypes is hard for him to get his visa to join me here they stressing him so much not fair 😢
I pray he get it soon
It is really sad 😞
What stereotype? Visa requirements are clearly laid out. He may have trouble meeting them.
The disenfranchisement from global opportunities for holding a third-world passport is not something anyone should have to go through. I hope countries can start making decisions based on personal excellence rather than stereotypes.
We'll win.
Well, the stereotype is just one way to exclude 3rd world countries from gaining those opportunities and creating wealth..Basically, we are being tolerated..once you cough the wrong way, you are thrown out..Once one of us does something, they go after all of us..Africa needs to get her acts together otherwise we won’t get any respect…If our countries are strong economically and militarily, they will automatically know how not to stereotype..This is how the world works..Even if 99% of Nigerians or Africans behave right, they will focus on the 1% that is bad..
And yes, I fully support countries imposing 100% punishments on foreigners who misbehave..Crime is evil …
We love Nigerians... everything abt them is unique 💯lots of love from Kenya ❤️
Well said Tayo, to add to that Nigerians have some of the smartest people in the world that contribute positively to make the world a better place. Like Doctors,engineers, content creators, architects, business men and so on can you imagine denying them visas because of some other person’s crime?? Not a solution in stoping criminals from doing what they do
Contribute to make your country great Frist
@@aos5929 they are contributing in their country already. Nigeria has the highest tech hubs already in Africa and more startups and Unicorns.
Unfortunately, the world will continue to look down on Nigerians until Nigeria as a country gets it act together. We can’t expect outsiders to respect us when our leaders don’t even value the lives of their citizens.
Very true 👌
I bet to disagree....everything negative about this country is attributed to Nigerians, we don't have to be great to behave ourselves wherever we go. Some little African countries have so much reputations out there because their citizens are well behaved. What on earth are they taking cultism to Dubai or any other foreign country for? Same with Italy, Nigerians are honestly the problem. I pray we change for good.
you are not a Nigerian, no African country have it together, so what’s your point
@@sidex4 fully agree. Go to Nigeria embassy in London and see them behaving like animals. Is Buhari there? In most countries it's "just a few bad eggs". In Nigeria, it's "just a few good eggs"
@@BroadwayBully1 i see people blaming the leaders all the time....see, if we haven't taken ourselves for granted I swear no mumu leaders would try to take us for granted....especially the diasporans, the way we misbehave is just too outrageous, after fucki.ng up and get arrested, we will start blaming the leaders for not bailing us out. Especially these guys in Dubai and Italy.
The fact is, a lot of your people get up to no good in foreign countries. Whether it's Africa, Europe, Asia, America or even Australia. You are not being targeted, countries just don't want to import more crime than they have already. Of course, no one can tell you anything because everyone is just being 'jealous' of your 'greatness'. Time to reflect and change. It's all your doing. Bitter, but that's the truth.
Okay, mate, you sound real bitter. Lost a job to Nigerian did you? Being shamed by Nigerians excelling your own low performing group are you? Sounds about right.
It's funny how they are denying the facts and calling people racist and crying discrimination. People want peace but unfortunately, a lot of their people don't. So the authorities of Dubai have to do something about it.
@@bubblegummm It's always other people's fault. Everybody else is racist, jealous, has no sense etc. It's never them getting to a point of reflection, trying to find out why almost every country they go to, the locals always complain about their criminal activities.
In South Africa, they say we're xenophobic and jealous of their "success". So, as a sign of African unity, we must stand back and let them continue destroying our communities 🙂.
Stereotypical is morally wrong though! Judging people based on the actions of a subset of them harms all the innocent people like Tayo here!
@@tallest4eva The only thing morally wrong here is your countrymen misbehaving wherever they go. Don't blame other people for the image that you yourselves have created worldwide. Countries have every right to be cautious when it comes to accepting Nigerians based on the reputation that you have built wherever you go.
I'm glad you finally got the opportunity to rep 🇳🇬 Hopefully the stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Let's keep being better people out there to the point the world can't deny us no more...
So sad to hear about your experience, but you are definitely a fighter. Most people would have given up after the first application was declined. With that spirit that you have you will achieve great things!!!
So glad you made it to the summit. Lets have the conversation regarding how the world views Nigeria. I believe it would be an eye opener.
Im a Pakistani, I have respect fro Nigerians , they are respectful people but there are always bad people in community in Pakistanis also.
Now what you have to do is all those who are bringing a bad name to Nigeria you should teach them a lesson and help/co-operate the guest country Italy, UAE etc to teach these bad people some lesson, evrything will be ok.
The future is yours . Prayers for the Great people and land of Nigeria...
But paxtanis sux a$$
Nigerians must fix themselves, you can’t blame countries for not trusting you when you know your reputation, Nigerians are problem everywhere in the world, here in SA we don’t have the resources to deal with international criminals, they must just pack in leave our country. Respect is earned!
They want it for free
your xenophobia is really bad

I thank God for you bro. Congratulations!!! It is well with us and all.Amen. Let's keep changing the narrative in our best ways for good because it is saddening.
Well done and well done bros mi.🗣👏👏👏
I love what you are saying, it's a pity that not everyone will agree with you, I'm 🇿🇦 and I would say this being open minded helps on all sides and I would say also coming into someone's space one has to learn to conform to certain things and would like to also add if your countrymen are seen as being in collusion with wrongdoers by not condemning criminal acts and instead telling locals your perceived history about them no one will have sympathy, having said all this Nigerians are hardworking and smart but unfortunately the darkness always overshadows the light.
The major problem is that most guys that always do that sheat are not working in Dubai 90% of them are tourist and they are between age of 20 to 35 years old. People that have resident and working in Dubai will never want to tarnish his or her image. Now it's affecting mostly good Nigerians now .
Will you have the time? After you've worked your ass off from your job
@Tayo, Glad that you finally got your entrance, am residing here also in Dubai and honestly some Nigerians are terrible with there behaviors and mentality.I got a heavy slap in my first apartment here in Abu Dhabi when my roommates were having a cult meeting and and i told them to reduce there voices so that i could sleep but the Slap i got from those guys is still fresh even after 5years.Moreso,some others African countries now crimes but are been attached under our names. Presently because of this horrible behaviors ,so many have lost there jobs, they are now scavengers because companies are not renewing for Nigerians at the moment. We are all hoping they lifts the ban soon before it becomes OSHODI because so many are now on the street and as the saying goes...####An idle place is the devil's workplace###. .........#THE STREET ARE GETTING FULL#
This is why we Nigerians should learn lessons. We can make our country great! Let's come back and fight for our right. It start with the youth guys.. I lived and worked in Dubai for over 10years. I saw the good the bad and the ugly. At a point I made up my mind to head back home where I belong. It's my country I cannot run away from it. Let's face our reality and better our country.
I'm happy you made it to the summit at last... keep the fire burning bro
You speak naturally. It's simple, engaging and content loaded.
But why would you be surprised?
Because Dubai accepts EVERYONE
Rejection rarely happens
When I was younger in SA I always thought Nigerians are drug dealers. I was naive but that’s all I saw of those in SA sadly, then when I went to Europe I met so many amazing Nigerian people that opened my mind up to their country! I hope things change for the better! These rotten apples paint Africa as a bad place man. SA lost its visa free entry to the UK due to the same rotten apples in our country.
I was also surprise to see Nigerians in the UK thriving making a living out of respectable and dignified way, compared to the one's that reside in SA.
@@nokulungamadoda7615 Thank you for this, the problem in South Africa about Nigerians is, the government has allowed miscreants from Nigeria to enter South Africa, and they have nothing to give the economy than to start doing illegal stuffs... I am a good representation of a Nigerian in SA, went to a good University in Limpopo which I had a great time at... Nigerians in Canada are also a good representation of the country because most of them are making it big in the system in here and are doing great things...

As a South African, Nigeria is my favorite country in Africa. Never been there but planning to visit. It's unfortunate how things turned out in SA, but to be honest, these scum bags don't represent you well. But that hasn't change my perspective. Still love Naija.
Not all is lost, Nigeria is the greatest country in Africa, you have some of the smartest people in the world, your doctors, engineers, are all over the world, your IT sector is growing so fast that everyone in the world is amazed, companies like flutterwave are doing wonders, Aliko Dangote the richest black person is building the biggest oil refinery in the world, Nigeria thanks to Dangote is exporting fertilizer to countries like India and Brazil, Ngozi iweala is a global leader, let no Nigerian say they are embarrassed of their country, you should proudly shout at the top of your voice that you are an ambassador of a beautiful, powerful country made up over 200 million unique people, God bless Nigeria, much love from Kenya.
Well I'm not Nigerian, but I have a few Nigerian friends. Sadly...here in Malaysia, Nigerians have a very bad reputation and it affects all Africans as well. I have been denied acess to multiple places because somone thought I was Nigerian until I showed my id. The bad guys are more prevelnt and maybe solving the issue starts from Nigeria, if the government takes more proactive measures against these guys before they leave....
Tayo, you have a platform and i know have done this before, please encourage your Nigerian brothers(especially) to respect other countries laws. It can't be that the world is complaining about Nigeria and all Nigerians say is the it's just " a few rotten apples". And don't compare yourselves with others on bad actions, take accountability for Nigerians actions. If 1000 poisonous snakes out of 100,000 attack you, there won't be any time to check which ones are poisonous and which ones are not. You will kill anyone that approaches for your safety. So please, also understand the position those few Nigerians put the countries through.
All the best.
It’s good that you’re sharing your story. Thank you. People need to hear this.
A Nigerian engineer sent me his CV and I was very impressed so I invited him in for interview. A lot of people from his last company work for us including the person who would have managed him previously. I asked him (Ade) would it be OK to get a reference from his former manager who now works here and he said of course Mark will very nice things about me. On his CV he had worked for the company for four years which shows some stability. Long story short, he only worked there for 3 weeks over 18 months ago and was fired after learning his qualifications were forged and he did not have a masters degree in engineering.
It's their culture. They think lying is okay.
