Yes indeed, most people here do not trust Nigerians because of all the scams, in fact the general feeling of them is quite incredibly low for that reason - they're all seen as scammers (I guess a lot of their activities on Hive prove it too). A demonstration of how people breaking other people's trust even those they do not know (like in cyber crime) has lasting implications.
This happens with companies, organisations, governments and so on, people lose confidence (trust) and the problems start, and it often endures.
All someone who has lost trust (and respect) can do is work towards being the right person and doing things better than before...I think the same goes for groups who have done the same.
I agree. I believe on Hive, It’s something we are working on to bring everyone together. The change we all seek starts from somewhere. I have been fortunate and I know there are some good ones out there. I have a hangout for Nigerians and maybe tomorrow the topic would be “fraud or cyber crime” let’s start the discussion here on Hive.
This topic sparks out a lot. Do you have Nigerians you know that are still abusing the Hive system and are unrepentant?
Like you said, people can work towards being or doing right. With the right leadership and counsel, things might change.
I want a community where We are not looked this way on Hive.
Hopefully you can turn around common sentiment however there's many still bad acting and it's, unfortunately for people like you, the many that will affect the few who try to do the right thing.
Yes, I recall your topics, I believe you copied my idea from 2020 and called it weekend engagement which, to me, seemed rather odd and inventive.
Yes I actually did copy your idea in 2022. But more like I’d say you inspired me to do it. Even on the post, I always make mention of “there are other weekend engagements on Hive” - I was referring to you.
I’m sorry if you found it odd. I maybe would have mentioned you or something. Not too late. I’d tag you when I write that every weekend if you don’t mind.
I understandinspiration, but don't prefer to see it take the form of direct copying. I actually don't call copying someone else's idea exactly as being inspired, that's just taking someone's idea and copying it.
I’m sorry, I felt if it’s just a single post it’s different from telling people to write and I also felt since I’m just limiting it to the Nigerian community, might be different.
I hope you understand now. And I hope you don’t mind me tagging you on our post. I can also urge people to write in weekend experiences and support their posts too.
I've continued to do my own thing and stay in my lane with it; what you do is your own business but, of course, I felt back then and do now that you could have thought it through a little more and come up with your own innovation.
You’re right. I appreciate you for having this conversation with me. Going forward, I’d give you credit when I write it.
Also I’d try to implement some change with what I do. Hopefully it will make some difference.
Thank you once again.
Thank you for not getting mad at me all this years and for still supporting me. In all honesty, I’m sorry.
For as long as i continue. I'd give you credit for the idea.
Yeah, I usually zero out accounts for doing this sort of fuckassery, you must have slipped under the radar at the time.
Thank you.
Moving forward, I’d give you 100% credit.
Promote the weekend experiences community
Tag you.
I appreciate a lot. And the past few weeks, I’ve learnt a lot from you. Thank you once again.
Also our government is so terrible, I don’t think that can change anytime soon :)
We can never trust them!
Take up arms and rise up and fucken kill them all then replace them with others. But then...I think greed and corruption is systemic so the replacements will do the same thing.
Go look at what the French did in the French Revolution (1789-1799), a good lesson.
Our president is 73 years old! Our previous president died three weeks ago from old age.
I really don’t think killing them works :) but I’d check the French Revolution. Thanks
