The comments came after Stuart Baggs, a 21-year-old contestant, offered a money-back guarantee in the boardroom that he could achieve results.Lord Sugar replied: "I had an offer like that from Nigeria once and, funnily enough, it didn't transpire." This comment Outraged Dr Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, Nigeria's High Commissioner in London,
In a statement on Thursday he said: "Lord Sugar's remark on Nigeria is preposterous and spurious for a number of reasons."It was an unprovoked, damaging remark on a sovereign and independent state of over 150 million people, based on his alleged sordid and isolated deal with a Nigerian individual."It is indeed demeaning and unfortunate."A BBC spokesman said: “It is clear Lord Sugar was just making a reference to a perception about email scams.“It is clear what he was referring to and I don’t think it can be seen as a comment against the whole Nigerian nation.”
I get these email scams about 500 of them in my laprincessworld email and I even mess around with them,once I even asked one for $500 bucks to open an account to deposit all the money he was offering, but I get Scam emails from all over the world!!!U.K., Japan, U.S.A. and yes Nigeria...but I dont its fair that we circle out Nigeria as a lead, in this modern world, anyone can make up these emails and a fake name and I highly doubt all these emails are coming from Nigeria. Lord Sugars Comments might have been from personal experience but for people to sum up that the whole of Nigeria is invovled Fraud Scheme is just wrong, one person even said that the Nigerian Governement should work up the millions of dollars got through this scamming and pay back these people being scammed, remember that no such crime has ever succeeded without the so-called "victim" agreeing to participate knowingly in a crime so both parties were invovled, all are criminals if u ask me.
