VIDEO: Identity Guard’s Latest Commercial Playing on Nigerian 419 Fraud Stereotype: Good Advertising? Cheap Humor? Witty? Good or Bad for Nigeria’s Image?

Nov 9

Posted by Staff Writer in News | 14 Comments

This commercial begins with a lady, supposedly from the US, placing an online order for Houte Sandals.

The commercial then proceeds to Lagos, Nigeria where it shows what is a apparently a Nigerian man (and potential 419 fraudster?) reading “New Activity” online detailing the lady’s order, contact details, and credit information. This man then hands off the details on paper to a boy who then runs quickly to hand off the paper to another man who goes on to “process” the details …

The whole time, the video is obviously playing on the image of the stereotypical 419 fraudster from Nigeria.

Watch the video to see the punchline … Any opinions on this? Witty, tasteless, or just cheap humor?
