My question is: given that people from Nigeria have already taken the word "Nigerian" to refer to themselves, what do you call someone from Niger (in English)?

Yep. Absolutely the best excuse yet.

It's called "affirmative shopping" LMFAO

I worked in Nigeria for about 8 months and found the majority of people extremely kind and genuine. That other part was really rough bunch, and a crowded hard place to survive.

I'm not up to date here; what's cheaper, bullets or poison?

[ClutchClark]

Just think of the fun which has been created by the author's use of the word Niger rather than Nigerian. 

 

Who would have thought three little letters so important a distinction..."ian".

Who mentioned Nigeria?  These guys were from Niger.  However your comments still apply, even more-so from Niger than even Nigeria.  Maybe the first "tourists" ever (or at least this year from impoverished Niger and coming via China probably rang all the correct bells.

 

Below from Wikipedia:

Niger (ⁱ/ˈnaɪdʒər/ or /niːˈʒɛər/;^[8][9] French: [niʒɛʁ]), officially the Republic of Niger, is a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. Niger is bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria and Benin to the south, Burkina Faso and Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest. Niger covers a land area of almost 1,270,000 km², making it the largest country in West Africa, with over 80 percent of its land area covered by the Sahara Desert. The country's predominantly Islamic population of 17,138,707^[10] is mostly clustered in the far south and west of the country. The capital city is Niamey, located in the far-southwest corner of Niger.

Niger is a developing country, and is consistently one of the lowest-ranked in the United Nations' Human Development Index (HDI); it was ranked last at 188th for 2014.^[6] Much of the non-desert portions of the country are threatened by periodic drought anddesertification. The economy is concentrated around subsistence and some export agriculture clustered in the more fertile south, and the export of raw materials, especially uranium ore. Niger faces serious challenges to development due to its landlocked position, desert terrain, high fertility rates and resulting overpopulation without birth control,^[11] poor education and poverty of its people, lack of infrastructure, poor health care, and environmental degradation.

A few nutters with knives and swords

I don't know what the big deal is?  That is less than 190 cards for each of them.  You can never have too many credit cards.  What if you just happen to notice that perfect deal as your wandering around the stores.  55

[Mike264]

Correction FYI, the ATM CARDS aren't fake rather they have different names, This is what happens when African Governments impose strict Dollar Exchange rate withdrawal limits abroad. The Cards just has to be returned to the Banks and the individual deported that's all.

Hate to be the one to correct you, they are from Niger, not Nigeria, I also thought it was Nigeria for short, but Niger is apparently a country as well.

The accepted word is “Nigerien”—as opposed to “Nigerian,” for someone from Nigeria. It's quite confusing, though in speech you would say the former like it was French (something like nee-ZHER-iã) to distinguish them.

Did the Thai immigration guys consider the consequences of arresting these 3 guys with 568 credit cards, that's a lot of shopping money that could have been injected into the Thai economy for their relatives.

Did the Niger have a shopping list to accompany all these cards? 

 

It would be nearly impossible to remember all those details? 

 

A shopping list might support his claim...at the moment I am having trouble believing this was all innocent.

I would have assumed that they would have all wanted the same thing, Like the latest Rolex watch...lol

 

Pretty easy to remember.

[Xircal]

If the cards all had microchips, they'd most likely be reported stolen and blocked already.

By 'shopping' I guess they were referring to ATM withdrawals not physically buying goods.

[George FmplesdaCosteedback]

I have stood behind Thai people on pay day that hog the ATM and produce card after card to take money out.

Maybe they are some of the relatives?
