I And Other Nigerians Should Never Not Be Trusted - Princess Oseni

The comment, “When dealing with Nigerians, throw the word ‘trust’ in the bin,” unfairly generalizes an entire population. This type of statement not only reinforces negative stereotypes but also damages the reputation of countless trustworthy Nigerians who value honesty and integrity.

Such sweeping judgments create unnecessary barriers, making it harder for Nigerians to build meaningful relationships, whether in business or personal settings. It also diminishes the efforts of those who work hard to demonstrate reliability and uphold ethical standards.

By focusing on negative stereotypes, we overlook the good in people and fail to acknowledge the diversity of character within any community. It’s essential to promote understanding and reject harmful generalizations that hurt those who genuinely deserve trust.
