Police have seized a total of 558 fake credit cards from three men from Niger at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

The three are identified as Yahaya Mahamadou Salao, 24, Maman Nalam Abdou, 55, and Halirou Abdoul Kadre, 44.

Pol Col Nitithorn Jintakanon, deputy commander of the Tourist Police Division, said officials were acting on a tip-off that foreign criminals would arrive at the airport with illegal electronic cards from Guangzhou, China.

Whenever I hear the names Nigeria and Niger I cant help thinking of another word used to describe the people.

My knowledge about Africa in general and Nigeria in particular are so low... that I call Nigerians... Africans. 

 

I never went to Africa and I am completely unable to differentiate between people of different African countries.

 

But I know one thing, however: Thais do not have favorable prejudice toward Africans.

You have aroused my curiosity.

 

I just do a little research and I just found out that there are two different countries: Niger and Nigeria. (I did not know! )

 

The people of Niger are called Nigeriens (plural) and the people of Nigeria are called Nigerians

One is French and the other is English for the people who live on the Niger river colonised in the north by the French and the British in the south.
