He called on the majority to do their best to ensure that the minority did not have their way in creating a bad image about the country.
“Nigerians are really good people it is only the minority few that are giving the country the bad image in other countries such as Indonesia.
“Nigerians are not as people perceive them abroad,” Purwanto said.

Speaking on Nigerians on death row in Indonesia, the envoy said they were convicted after all due legal processes had been exhausted.
He said their trial went through three stages, culminating at the Supreme Court, adding that they had access to judicial experts throughout their trail.

Don’t worry we all know those people spoiling the name of Nigeria abroad. They -the culprits too also know themselves. So there is no gain saying which Nigerian or tribe that is spoiling the name of the country in Indonesia.
We all know the majority of people taking drugs to Indonesia and where they are from.
If I mention a particular tribe now -this forum will be filled with this same tribe and its people accusing me of tribalism-bcos they are always in self denial of their own vices and atrocities .This tribe has an unwritten code of SILENCE and CONSPIRACY!- that is to stay quiet once a crime involves their fellow tribes- men. This tribe also will castigate any member of their tribe that dares to speak the truth-they would call that person a Traitor an Outcast.
This tribe CANNOT do NO wrong in the eyes of their fellow tribes men- even if the whole world says otherwise by calling them criminals.
This tribe and its people are very nomadic in nature and instead of them conforming to the laws of the land they travel to;they often commit all sort of crimes and atrocities in the land that they migrate to,and they even attempt to want to take over that land from its ORIGINAL indigenous people.
This tribe will always ascribe to themselves has being vey smart people and good business men, but not realizing the whole world sees them has CRIMINALS,DRUG BARONS and Mafia Gangs.
I will say “Well done! to this tribe”; but remember every day is for the thief- but one they is for the owner….continue to waste ur lives via death sentence in Indonesia.
