Then there was the case of a Nigerian woman fired for robbing from a store in Dublin where she worked. The case ended up in court. Not with her being charged…. silly! No, she brought a claim of wrongful dismissal against the store on the basis that it was the Nigerian ‘culture’ to, well, rob from where you worked. Here was a rare instance of a Nigerian telling the truth. The ‘learned’ judge was impressed. He ordered her to be reinstated to her job, and paid I think it was €30,000 in compensation for ‘humiliation and distress’.

Old Africa hands are well aware that Nigerians are natural thieves and not much different from other Africans such as Zambians and Zimbabweans (personal experience in those countries bear this out). But to think that this can be used as an excuse in an Irish courtroom beggers belief. So will some kind hearted person please tell me that the story is untrue.
