The president of Nigeria already has 126k fans on facebook http://www.facebook.com/jonathangoodluck and 1700 comments for each of his daily posts.
That's impressive considering that his account is just a couple of months old.

Pointless jokes about silly stereotypes do not belong on forums where people try to discuss reasonably about things.
Delivered properly, these can be hilarious.
Millions of Nigerians work honest jobs to feed and educate their children. It's hard enough that they have to live through the negative stereotype caused by less than 0.1% who are bad guys.
Think about that for a second.
Jokes rarely are. It's a joke and as such it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Nobody is implying otherwise.
It's hard to appreciate the other party's POV unless you've lived through the stigma of prejudice that's perpetuated by jokes such as yours.
That said, it's okay. Your comment shows you didn't mean any malice so as an implicit apology, it is accepted.
You've had personal experience with stigma for being Nigerian because people you talk to think you’re a scammer? Willing to share/elaborate?
