    The Sony PS3 ad - anti Nigerian, derogatory

    The petition
    THIS IS AN ONLINE PETITION FOR NIGERIANS AGAINST THE SONY PS3 AD THAT IS CURRENTLY AIRING ALL OVER TV AND INTERNET!

    DISGRACE DISGRACE SONY DISGRACE!

    THE UPROAR COMES FROM THIS EXACT QUOTE IN THEIR AD..

    "YOU CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR ON THE INTERNET OR I'LL BE A NIGERIAN MILLIONAIRE BY NOW"

    WATCH THE DISGRACEFUL VIDEO LINK

    YouTube - Playstation 3 Slim New Commercial...

    QUESTION TO SONY: SO EVERY SINGLE NIGERIAN IS TRYING TO SCAM & DEFRAUD PEOPLE?! IS THAT WHAT YOU FOUND OUT FROM YOUR RESEARCH FROM ALL NIGERIANS??!


    THE AUDACITY TO INSULT NIGERIANS AS A WHOLE WITH YOUR LOW STANDARD OF ADVERTISING. NIGERIANS CONTRIBUTE A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF SALES AND BRAND LOYALTY TO YOUR PRODUCTS.

    THIS PETITION IS TO HAVE SONY PULL OR CHANGE THE AD WITH THE NEGATIVE REFERENCE TO NIGERIANS!

    SIGN THIS PETITION AND FORWARD IT TO EVERY NIGERIAN YOU KNOW!

    WE ARE LOOKING TO GET OVER 100,000 SIGNATURES AND IT WILL BE SENT TO SONY'S PRESIDENT. LET'S EXCEED THAT GOAL!!

    I have learned so much from God
    That I can no longer call myself
    a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
    The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me
    That I can no longer call myself
    a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure soul.
    Love has befriended Hafiz so completely.
    It has turned to ash and freed me
    Of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

    I was planning to actually write Sony last night. I saw this commercial like 2 days ago. These born-fool know nothing about marketing before making commercial that could affect their market base. If Nigerians stop using their products do they know what an impact it will cause to their business?

    Ignorants.
    NAYSAYERS YE SHALL ALWAYS HAVE AMONG YOU. CYNICISM IS THE RUIN OF OUR DEVELOPMENT (ESPECIALLY NIGERIA). 2 Kings 7:1-2.
    ONE THING CONSTANT IN MAKING CHANGES IS RESISTANCE. DON'T PLAN TO MAKE CHANGES, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE STRATEGY OF FACING/ELIMINATING RESISTANCE.

    am sorry....but it was sure funny to me......either sony says it or not, the whole world knows that a lot of nigerians are in the yahoo yahoo business and they also know that a lot of nigerians are also reputable, trustworthy , honest, hardworkers, successful and good........so i do not see what the biggie is.

    Thank you my Sister, God bless.

    Same people that danced to Nkem Owoh Song..the Nigerian 419 anthem.

    419 no be thief, it´s just a game
    Everybody dey play am


    Now Whiteman don say something, we start crying wolf..Kokolette Rita dont talk am "to change the country's image, we have to stop doing jazz, everybody does jazz, even yahoozee people do jazz" However she way she phrased it...

    BTW, he never said all Nigerians..he said "I'd be a Nigerian Billionaire by now" which mirrors those ridiculous, annoying and unrealistic emails we receive every second day.

    Damn, this PS is Pretty cheap, with recession, who has time to be boycotting the original because he made a sarcastic comment about Nigeria. Somebody is getting this for Xmas...xmas shopping here I come.

    Widelife is synonymous to Kenya.
    Kangaroos are synonymous to Australia
    Drug wars are synonymous to Mexico and
    419 is synonymous to Nigeria....

    Lets just stop doing jazz and improve our country's image.

    I need your grace God to be a better ME..for the present ME needs work.

    Great product...bad spokesperson!

    No excuse, that man should be fired.

    EDIT: That's a full-blown ad. Now I take offense!

    I saw that bull shit the other day, and i was WADAHELL!!!????


    I am tempted to start a war on that through my OPNI (Operation Positive Nigerian Image) group! But, this is fashion season, and I have lots of shows to get ready for at the fashion weeks events!......I dunno......this is where passion for career is clashing with love for naija.....but on the other hand sha, everyone knows that yahoo emails are mostly supposedly from naija, 'supposedly' because I have gotten emails signed by Femi and who original email address when I followed the Path and Origin showed me it was written by a Xian Wu!
    So, what to do....let me think.....
