News of Japan officially designating Kisarazu as the hometown for Nigerians willing to live and work sparked many conversations. While some welcomed it as an opportunity for growth and cultural exchange, one negative comment stood out: “Now watch as the standard of living of that city drops to near zero.” This statement unfairly stereotypes Nigerians as a burden, ignoring the skills, resilience, and contributions they bring wherever they go. Such remarks are harmful because they reinforce prejudice instead of recognizing the potential for positive impact. Nigerians, like any people, can uplift communities when given the chance.
