RE: Twitter Ban follow-up

In as much as I understand the message, there was a part of it I think you don't know what it means.

scams (Nigeria scam emails)

By typing the above, you meant anything and everything the word 'scam' represents in that context is Nigerian. And the whole of what is inside Nigeria. More than 200million of us.

Do I mean there are no scam emails emanating from Nigeria? No. Does that mean I support those scammers? Of course Not. It hurts, there are thousands of us trying to make it legitimately.

I have seen those type of scams on twitter as well. Asking people for example to send 0.002 ETH for 5 ETH.

Do well to be fair to some of us among the over 200 million Nigerians, we are not all that bad.

Sort:  

Do not take it personally, and is not a generalization, we are talking about a normal type of scam, unfort. is known as Nigerian email scam, even when some of those are not necessarily from Nigeria.

I believe there are many people doing good, and I see it in Steemit where there are many users from there adding value to the community.

I noticed that too. Generalizations have a way of shadowing the (important) message. I'm not Nigerian but I've met pretty decent ones.

Thank you. One thing I noticed with proof, there are some criminals (on cyberspace) from within Africa, not Nigerians who disguise as Nigerians. They use the name of this country to commit criminal offenses.

I believe you, and I understand the struggle you honest ones have to go through to actually land a gig. That's probably something that won't change any time soon, but I'm wishing you the very best as the legit Nigerian you are.

And oh, most of them are not even within Africa.

Thanks for the encouraging words and I wish you the best also.
