Senator Ted Cruz is the controversial US Senator who held the US random for about a month during the Government Shutdown. As if holding the US ransom for a month he decided to take a jab at Nigeria by saying
You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately Cruz joked, according to the Houston Chronicle. They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website.
This was our Ambassador’s response;
I would to remind Senator Cruz that Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community in the U.S…
“There is no sphere of human endeavour that a Nigerian has not excelled in the U.S…
“Nigeria doesn’t deserve this unfortunate and unwarranted maligning of its people for a cheap political shot
But what the senator said was more than truthful and even at that he was economical by not including thieves in Nigeria government offices and BMW over inflated purchase price ministers and their likes.
The fact that he said “Nigerians” suggested he was referring to all of us. Don’t you think that is insensitive
