Most Europeans are likely to have an impression of Nigeria that is tainted by negative attention in the media. News about Nigerians in Europe often focus on prostitution and attempts at e-mail fraud. Reports from Nigeria have focused on violence or on the widely publicized Shari’a sentences of stoning women who have had children out of wedlock. The pride felt by many when Nigerian Agbani Darego was crowned Miss World in 2001 was quickly overshadowed by the violent riots that caused the following year’s Miss World Final in Abuja to be moved to London. All this negative attention causes Nigerians to be confronted with considerable scepticism. This can make their integration experience in Europe particularly challenging.
