Because of where it is located on the Map of Africa. Another reason is the favorable weather here in Nigeria. As for our leaders they are a bundle of criminals except our President and a selected few.

Monkey no fine but ehn mama still like cam ..

Well folks , am grateful to God being a Nigerian ( i don't pride ) though periodic times i kinda wish was never one . however for some infinitesimal or infinitude reasons 9ja is a place to be .

though honestly speaking , if most us that claims to be Nigerians & are proud of being one , had /have opportunity to fly out to Uk /Us or any other European country given an employment with nice house & school or some will not even mind any of these . as far as they in America , Shikenah , magana ya kare ( Yankee.com) after roll most of the basic problems we're battling with over here , are solutions already over there . likes of power-outage , inadequate appropriate incentives for schools & research for industries , for clinics & health workers e.t.c .

But c'mmon people , lets be realistic here . enough of emphasis on the problems rather on possible lasting solutions .

God help /bless Nigeria
long live ye
long live the federal republic of Nigeria.

NIGERIA , GOOD PEOPLE , GREAT NATION .

eduxerxes: I'm proud of Nigeria cos of the following reasons:

1) EBOLA Virus that we can't control

2) Corruption

3) 419'ers every where

4) Bribery at all levels

5) Brutality of law enforcement agencies (police, army, even LASTMA)

6) Strike action every month...even doctors, one day e go be prisons officers on strike.(Wonder why dem neva still go strike till now)

7) Suffering pensioners every where complaining abt the same thing...non-payment

cool Exam malpractice has become a norm...

9) No electricity

10) No pipe-borne water!

Finally, I provide electricity for myself (I pass my neighbor), provide shelter with my meagre salary, provide water for myself (my bore-hole), provide security for myself (Musa my gate man), we contributed money to grade our roads here... etc.

What does the government do? And u tell me to be proud of this country of shyt? Damn!

Any way, I STILL LOVE MY COUNTRY because WE STILL SURVIVE and are Happy DESPITE THE BULLSHIT WE SEE EVERYDAY!

I think you are a very stoopid person. Get the phuck out of Nigeria and never come back. Ediots like u turn my stomach.
Re: Why Are You Proud To Be Nigerian? by lionduke(m): 11:30am On Aug 15, 2014
I am proud to be a Nigerian because in mist of the all our troubles we still keep our heads high hoping and praying for a better tomorrow, despite our differences we still unite and support our super eagles and other sportsmen who always put there best to make us proud finally am proud to be Nigerian Co's even if our politicians no do anything, with one bag of rice and #1000 (stomach infrastructure ) they are sure of our votes.

Clap for your self. Now my question: Are you still in that 'shytehole' called Nigeria. If not, Are you planning to return to Nigeria at any time in the future. If you answer yes to any of these questions, YOU ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE OF ALL. Most of you people who spew this garbage are just waiting to earn enough money to return and settle in Nigeria. Some have been trying to do that for more than 15 yrs.

Remain proud of all that was listed. I think your comment could have waited until you grow some intelligence and are able say you are proud of any of what I listed.

Return to Nigeria to be brutally murdered by your ilk who put vain wealth before their souls? Tufiaakwaa!!

Proud to be Nigerian? What is there to be proud about? High unemployment rate,insecurity,Boko haram,massive corruption and the monumental farce you people call elections. It's not until the average Nigerian travels abroad that they find out that there is no sense of pride being a Nigerian. I am an Igbo man and a proud Biafran,I don't know anything about this 'tragedy' called Nigeria.

Not proud of being Nigerian, I'm proud of being Biafran, because we Igbos are Jews, the chosen people of God. God will surely honour us and humiliate our enemies. Igbos will one day be able to return to our homeland, the land of Israel.

You are second class outside your state and tribe bro. I have contributed so much in Lagos by the massive tax i am paying here, and although i have spent so long and even have a house, everyday i am reminded i am not a son of the soil. All i have done is pay for a land and build on it, some cretins will still remind me that i am from the East (as if i dont know whereas i travel there more than 7 times a year). Forms still ask for State of Origin even for people who have only known the state where they were born and have probably never visited wherever their parents came from. Go to the North and tell them you are not from there and see how soon the almajiris decapitate your head in the slightest confusion, and it just goes on. There is no feeling of belonging in any state outside your regular state of birth.

With the exception of Lagos State where Nwabueze has been recognized and given an opportunity to showcase his talent and brilliance, tell me where else Non-Indigenes are accorded any form of political recognition. Can I as an Igbo man contest for election as the Chairman in a local government i have spent all my life in Lagos? Meanwhile Nigerians become Mayors in Counties abroad. Infact what you buy in the market is affected by price once the seller knows you cannot speak a particular language. This country is fvcked. I have lost faith, i swear.

It does not mean i dont make my living here, it is just that we could have been much better than what we are and where we are now.
