How Smart And Skilled Is The Nigerian Worker, Actually?

My Uncle practised HR for most of his working life. He tells me a lot about stuff he learned by interacting with people as a HR person, over the course of his working life. He says there are two myths about Nigerians:

1. That they are very intelligent: My Uncle thinks this is a lie. He believes Nigerians are mostly tough talkers, and can talk their way into anything.

2. That they are very hardworking: My Uncle also thinks this one is a fallacy. He believes we are only 'mouth' workers, and hardly focus on what we are hired to do.

What do you guys think, House?
