7 Reasons To Believe In Nigeria by Novak(m): 7:45pm On Feb 11, 2013
Sometimes you need a reminder that Nigerians can do wonderful and great things.
1. Nigeria becoming African Champions
The story of this team is a legend. If we were to write everything about the super eagles of Nigeria, it won’t stop believe me, the players faced hardship when coming up, Victor Moses lost both parents at an early age, had to take charge and be the Man of the house, Mikel Obi faced much ridicule when he began his career, Nigerians have the mentality and courage to become champions in all fields, no matter the challenge, we always conquer it and come out on top.

2. The Fishermen That Saved A Nigerian Man’s Life
The victim, who was simplify identified as Oladimeji, was said to have lost control of his Toyota Sienna with registration number BB974EKY and veered off the bridge before plunging into the lagoon in Lagos Third Mainland Bridge. The fishermen could have decided to mind their own business and blame a rescue team for not coming but they decided to risk their own lives as that part was a very deep part, they ignored tribalism and rescued their Nigerian brother, love from the heart.

3. Disabled Man Becomes Breadwinner Of The Family
In 1982, Mohammed moved to Lagos with his parents, probably in search of greener pasture.

As he grew into a man, Mohammed quickly picked up ideas that instilled in him the need to survive on his own and to do so with dignity. Instead of going into the act of begging for alms, Mohammed decided to go into trading. He raised some money and bought pens. All along the Lagos Marina and CMS, Mohammed will, with his cargo of pens tied around his shriveled legs, crawl on the asphalt, weather it is wet or scorching hot. It didn’t matter to him if he made little or much, what mattered to him was that he made enough to feed and put a roof over himself and his wife and their child.

Fortune smiled on him, when one day, a passerby who has been seeing him ply his trade day in day out, felt very impressed and bought him a wheelchair.

Instead of Mohammed to see this as a tool for comfort, he saw it as a means of expanding his business. So from his meager savings he bought more pens and turned his wheelbarrow into a “Pens-on-wheels” shop.

4. A Country Of Achievers
The List is much…

5. The Story Of A Footballer
We all know the story of Kanu, all the trials he went through, the life trials, the football trials, how he battled with the heart problem and despite all the challenges he became one of the most decorated players in Africa, the story didnt end there, he set up a foundation to help people with heart problem and also an academy to help young Nigerians become better than him, what a generous heart, a Nigerian heart.

6. The Blind Man Who Has Produced Hit Music Tracks
Cobhams Asuquo didnt allow his eye defect stop him from becoming one of the best producers in Nigeria, this superstar producer is just 32 and an example to everyone who likes giving excuses.

7. A 15-Year-Old Nigerian Student Who Entered Harvard
Yeah, Saheela Ibraheem did it.

If in a land of hardship and violence, qualities above can be found, that shows that Nigerians are truly great people.
