I worked with a Nigerian who came to America for about 10 years to work and he was going to go back, he was a wonderful man. He was of the Igbo people, and invited myself to a thanksgiving type dinner late in the year. As a North American Caucasian I was very humbled and honored to be invited to such an event, to take part in the food and dancing to traditional music. The food was fantastic and the love was even greater. I was one of only 2 white people amidst dozens of native igbo people, and I felt so alive then. One of the best thanksgivings I’ve ever had. It’s been a couple years and my friend has gone back home now. I truly miss him and his funny ways of describing things or his big smiles. God speed Ben, I hope Nigeria can’t handle you!

Anyone who thinks that it means erasing your own self importance out from reality hasn't been through adulthood long enough. Self drive and the need to bring family and others close to you up with you requires pride. Maybe it's your own insecurities that make you feel that way about him. I see a genuinely mature, kind-hearted and talented dude.

@@chango21ful kind-hearted and talented? Definitely. Mature and humble? Not so sure about mature, definitely not humble. He's definitely maturing and mellowing into the role of being a star, but he talks a great deal of smack even when it's unwarranted (example: whittaker buildup, bragging after his fights etc.)

The "Nigerian" scam is actually lifted from the same type of scam that was used over SNAIL MAIL decades ago. It is actually called the "Spanish Prisoner" scam. Same deal only you receive a letter in the mail from a guy in a prison who says he is in jail for life or an incredibly long period of time. He says he has buried the ill gotten gains of his crimes somewhere. He will sell you the map for $XXX. Sound familiar?

reformed4ever0 what he said about the Nigerian school system is an absolute fact. Their curriculum is way ahead of America’s. There is a reason Nigerian immigrants come to America and almost always exceed because there is so much opportunity here that success is such a cake walk to them. The numbers don’t lie when it comes to Nigerian immigrants. There probably isn’t a more successful group of immigrants that come to America than Nigerians.
