Minister of Interior Capt Emmanuel Ihenacho yesterday said what other countries consume through the internet and other media is not the true picture of Nigeria as a country.

The minister said this yesterday in Abuja when he received the South African High Commission in Nigeria, Mr. Kingsley Mamabolo. The minister said many people used internet to portray Nigeria in bad light, adding that South Africa has so many things to learn from Nigeria in terms of its diversified cultures and hospitalities, politics and the way "we solve our problems".

He also said that Nigeria can benefit from the South African technology. Ihenacho called for collaboration between the two countries for the social, economic and political development of both countries. Speaking on the purpose of his visit, the South African High commissioner said he was in the ministry to find ways to strengthen the existing relationship between the two countries.

He said there are many Nigerians in South Africa who are doing commendably well, adding that South Africa has seen the good side of Nigerian nationals.
