Nigerian-American journalists and public commentators join issues with a challenged writer.

Why did Ann Coulter choose to attack Nigerian-Americans? That is the question that must trouble anyone who read her recent article.

Entitled To speak to a Nigerian prince about health care, press '1', the attention-seeking political opportunist simply could not exercise a little bit of self-control!

It would have been unnecessary responding to such an unserious work by a careless writer. But the article relished in a number of factual errors that simply questioned her commitment to truth as a known voice in the public place.

For instance no one reading this curious piece would be able to reasonably accept her claim that every level of the Nigerian society is criminal or that you can major in credit card fraud in the University of Lagos!

These are incredible, ridiculous and outlandish claims. They are not based on facts, but merely wild allegations that can never be substantiated and should really make Ms. Coulter ashamed of herself, short of her overriding lust to embrace publicity of any kind!

Of all the names that she recounted from Justice Department press releases of people convicted of criminal activities, only one name sounds Nigerian, out of the long list. That list represents a broad outlook of differing ethnicities and nationalities present in America and beyond. But Ms. Coulter chose to only malign Nigeria, exposing her crass appetite for the spotlight.

We are not unaware that Coulter was following in the footsteps of Senator Ted Cruz, from Texas, who had earlier spoken rather carelessly about Nigerians in his bid to crack a joke over the Obamacare rollout controversy.
