tonychristopher: Honestly, it's not even about the bold but there's a place and time for everything. Even most of the scientists and leaders today in first world countries had fun growing up, and a lot of them did indulge in all kinds of vices. Go to top unis around the world and you'll be shocked, with the amount of pots and booze the top students(the future scientists and leaders) indulge in. However, the only difference is that: when it's time to get serious, they do so effortlessly. As for Africans(including Nigerians) we're innately not just the serious type and we're also very insensitive as long as it doesn't affect us directly. And also very selfish as well. We prefer hand-outs rather than working hard to achieve greatness Most times we dream big, and expect hope based on faith to see us through. And even when we work hard(probably once in a blue moon), we don't work smart. I got back on twitter recently and I decided to follow a few Nigerians that I've seen around while doing certain scholarships on the internet. And more time, these folks just post idi.otic memes all over my timeline retweeting tripe. And when they're not doing that, it's about e-activism protesting all over twitter, despite living in the country. Trust me, these folks are not serious and it's more or less a vicious cycle of perpetual intellectual clowns with huge noses like pinocchio. 3 Likes |

my brother you see when life knock you down, just stand up face it with your middle finger pointing to him, and tell him that he hit like a shit, so you have to stand up package yourself, head up, fake laugh and move on, not all circumstances you had to way your self down in deep thought, if you don't stop being unhappy now you will just die a pain full death. so all about this Ebola joke has been warming some people mind like me not to worry, so let's die being happy or you die as a sadistic |

Feraz: Education?? This same education that made our graduates believe that Ebola has a particular time frame of operation; that believed Ebola ended operation at 5am; that made people take to social media to write about salt and water solution and its potency in the prevention of Ebola instead of looking up articles online to verify? So do you suggest there should be NO education or do you prefer we work on the QUALITY while ensuring all children are educated What is your preference? 1 Like |

patrickmuf: OP, same question lingered on my mind some time ago till i had to question my dad during the protest in Egypt, why Nigerians couldn't do same...He's reply was that Moubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30+ years and all it took was just a moment he never envisaged and boom he was out...Relating his response to our plight in Nigeria, i think one day the masses will shock the political elites holding us back... I really do not see that happening. Nothing wrong with being optimistic though. Nigeria citizens are too laid-back and the only thing they spend their heads thinking about is money and living extravagance lifestyle. A Nigeria with an average monthly pay will not participate in protest against bad leadership. He is ok and there is no need to risk his precious life over protest 1 Like |

Abeg Mods change the title of topic to something...not sth that suggests that it's already a fact that Nigerians are unserious. You aint doing our image any better. At least ask '' Why Are Nigerians Seemingly Unserious'' They are two different questions altogether. |
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Unserious?!? by Nobody: 10:10pm On Aug 10, 2014 |
@ Op,Lemme just tell you the reason. Like it or Leave it,na the truth i talk. When you live in Hell,nothing can scare or bother you again. You cannot scare a man who survived a crocodile attack with a dog.. You cannot scare an ifa priest with small local juju. Due to the hard life we've endured since the creation of this Entity,nothing shocks or scares us. Its so ingrained in our system that Boko Haram attacks,Plane Crashes,Accidents and so on don't bother us again.. Whatcha expect us to do? Worry about death and other trivial stuff when Hades is our home? You should even be happy we have the mental strength to forge ahead and smile through the suffering we are forced to endure |

God bless u olushowunm: @Op... When I saw this post, I thought you will talk about our general attitudes to work, society and ourselves... But I was surprised to read about one aspect of our unseriousness. Nigeria to me still have a long way to go, most of our youths believes in civil service jobs and thinks when you have it, you are made for life. People have stop dreaming, our people have wrong ethics to work, life and everything. All of us wants to wake up a Billionaire like Dangote but we are never ready to pay the price. We all want a just and equitable society but we are always not seen when the time comes to ask for those rights. In short I have come to to tagged Nigerians; "Cowards, lazy and Bloodsucking corrupt people"... |

LarrySun: I'm not surprised; since our verbal communication has often remained badly ambiguous; we blame the government for everything evil. No one is ready to take responsibility for the defects of the society; instead, we make asinine (even evil) jokes to mask our discomfort. The first sign of headache can be a neckache. We may suddenly wake up one morning to find out that these unserious fiends are candidates for straitjackets who'd escaped the confinements of their mental asylums.Obahiagbon junior,How ya papa? |

tonychristopher:There is a point in that. The case with Nigerians to me sounds like a lot of people have been psychological abused for so many years that they are so used to the corruption and mismanagement that it's part and parcel of their lives. That's why I give the Nigerian people benefit of doubt. Wonder why anyone would be happy with the way things are being run in the country. 1 Like |

Thanks OP. That was what made Fela sing Shuffering & Shmiling many years ago. Nigerians aren't just unserious, some of the dumbest people in the world are in this country. When you listen to people rationalizing totally stvpid things, you'd be scared. I wish every one of the 160m Nigerians can be given the chance to live in Europe or North America (or even Middle East) for just 1 month each, it'd probably reset their brains and let them see that they're actually living like lower animals in this country. 1 Like |
