Um, no. The line between extreme stereotype and fiction is a strangely shifty one, but you cannot say that D9's Nigerians offer a true representation of either Nigerianness or reality. It's the exaggerated, distilled, unbalanced view of Nigerians as monsters from an extremely xenophobic viewpoint. I don't know if it's a fiction, exactly, but it's certainly a construct cobbled together of disparate extreme instances. There's more going on here than an "exceptional individual."
