I don't know why people can be this dumb... This article says Niger and not Nigeria...

 

The news is always full of headlines about Nigerian scams so its easy to understand how the confusion occurred.

Vietnam doesn't let them in. They learned their lesson a few years back.

Just read all the way through from post one to the last.

My calculator battery went flat while I was counting the posts about the difference between Niger and Nigeria.

no one seems to mind the parading of suspect black guys before the press. no complaints mr general? re enactment around all the major shopping centers to follow. police will collect all goods purchased and cash withdrawn during the re enactment. suspects post bail. case closed.

It's not like there's gonna be a lot of Nigerians complaining - as a matter of fact there's probably not gonna be a lot of black people complaining in Southeast Asia in general. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see that Thailand has a problem with their police officers hunting and shooting black kids as trophies. As to the ending, bail accepted in the form of 568 credit cards, which might just happen to turn up again in another bust

That would sound like 'Nigerian' in a French accent... So I now wonder how Francophones refer to the people of Nigeria...

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.

Some posters need to check their geography before making silly posts.

Fact is though, they are much the same as they were once the same.

Nigeria, and possibly Niger too should be among the richest countries in Africa, but the money seems to disappear.

Correct not racist, it is a fact that Nigerians are renowned  as international fraudsters and scammers.

In parts of Nigeria the Native residents can't walk through town without paying tolls to gangs.

The place is alive with gangs and fraud, so bad that probably everyone is involved in some sort of scamming.

Why the government here has not put severe visa restrictions on them is beyond belief.

Not to mention the other players in the fraud gangs from other countries, Russia being one that stands out.

Thailand is a Hub for scammers and criminals worldwide to operate in.

 

It is very sad as the place is becoming more and more dangerous by the year.

The government picks on the wrong people in their crackdown on expats staying here, instead of increasing background checks and stringent passport/ visa examination.

It's making the place hell and uncomfortable for the innocent that have been here for years have a family and contribute to Thailand's economy.

I'm going to go back home next year to live and only come here for three to four months a year.

I will still contribute as I keep my house and pay rent and support family.

I would not want my young son to be educated here or grow up here anymore.

It is a shame to see what was a very nice country turned into a sewer of madness, corruption and crime, drug running, meth usage and lunatic suicidal drivers.

Not the only country in the world that is bad for this , the problem is escalating world wide --- where are we going?

 

Wrong. 

 

To say all Nigerians or west Africans are criminals is racist.

No it's not. 

Yes, shouldn't this deliciously hilarious and wonderfully subversive article be titled: -  "Nigerien men caught at Suvarnabhumi with 568 credit cards tell cops: We're just shopping for our relatives!”

 It might as well have been written:- "3 Nigers caught at Suvarnabhumi with 568 credit cards tell cops: We're just shopping for our relatives!

Although in the plural tense I believe the three men would be Niggers, not Nigers. No racist connotation intended.

Why be so obnoxious??  He made a mistake, or may not be really knowledgeable, OR just perhaps the press got It wrong, reporting Niger In lieu of  I Nigeria.  He may have read elsewhere they were Nigerians?  Life's too short to go on the attack on a triviality.

He also named Russia and Thailand as being full of criminals so his post was not racist. The knly racist comment was the guy who only quoted the portions of his post that would make him sound racist.

 

I am deeply offended at the amount of offense you have taken.

He said that Russia, Thailand & Nigeria are full of fraudsters & scammers. You added West Africans. You omitted Thais & Russians in order to make him sound racist.

 

Is that baiting or flaming or the like?

No. The post he was quoting and said wasn't racist said

 

"I do not understand why Thailand allows some these African Countries citizens to enter The Kingdom to start with !!"
 

I pointed out that this was indeed racist. 

 

Perhaps you should follow a thread more carefully.
