Dear recruiter,
We (Nigerians) will strongly appreciate if you put it boldly on your website that you can't hire Nigerians.
So it make it much easier for the hard-working folks to avoid less trauma due to some crazy stereotypes. I am a Nigerian, proud of my country.
Thanks✌🏾

The fact that someone tweeted this shows little or no knowledge of the dates. Or maybe because of the dynamics of what some Disney princesses envision dates to look like😂😂.
