Anywhere you are and find these things happening, be rest assured you are in naija:

1. It is only in Nigeria where ordinary stealing is not corruption.

2. It is only in Nigeria where a former president who distributed Ghana-must-go bags to the lawmakers to fund his aborted third term agenda will later turn back and say the lawmakers are corrupt.

3. It is only in Nigeria where lawmakers or lawbreakers jump fences to defend democracy.

4. It is only in Nigeria where a sitting governor of a state disappeared or was kidnapped.

5. It is only in Nigeria where a professor said "Ewedu" kokoros olitoris cures Ebola.

6. It is only in Nigeria where citizens believes a terrorist (Shekau) more than the Military.

7. It is only in Nigeria where it only takes a political criminal to switch party to become innocent.

8. It is only in Nigeria where only 7 out of 26 members of an elected House of Assembly can impeach the speaker.

9. It is only in Nigeria where a criminal who escaped from the UK would still come out to contest for the senate.

10. It is only in Nigeria where hunters attacks bokoharam while our Military surrender there armory and run into neighboring country for safety.

11. It is only in Nigeria where a religious law like sharia supersedes the national constitution in some part of the country.

12. It is only in Nigeria where 2 old former leaders with only 1 vote each will stay in the farm in Ota and decide how to move the nation forward.

13. It is only in Nigeria we celebrate absurdity

The list is endless. Please add yours.

Re: Things That Can Happen Only In Nigeria by lilflipnerd: 10:46am On Nov 28, 2014
I saw this Article here on NL. I just want the world to see it. Pls Support by Rebroadcasting
Mubi,the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day
Boko Haram descended on them and the people found themselves running for their lives.
The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape
jumped into any available car to run to safety.
Christians,Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion,
jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town.
Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved,
hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills.
In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody's religion
or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive.
It was a community of people, united by their desire to
escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination.
Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed
together, helping one another stay on their feet
as they all tried to survive.

The most interesting part of the narrative is that
the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi.
It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family
members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way,
is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day,
someone from Mubi would have boasted that
the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town.
But on the day that it mattered the most, he
evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate.
It means he had information of the Impending attack and
as the most senior military commander,
he did not fly into the town to lead his men to battle to defend his community.
He quietly saved only his family and left even
the soldiers without an inspiring commander to
motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend his community.

One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this
story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home,
you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not
there to help you. Why then should you continue
to fight your neighbour because of a man or
woman who cares only about his own family?
Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us,
but time and again, they have proven that they do not care.
We have been fools, killing one another on the
basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay
united across all the divides and plunder our wealth.

The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our biggest common enemy.
The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods.
What now will the people of Mubi boast about as
the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people
who live in excruciating poverty!
There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers,
parliamentarians and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence.
The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state.
Stella Oduah bought two cars with 120 million Naira while there are people in her home town
who can't afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day.
The time to throw away the sentiments is now!
Support only a man or woman who has a just
heart and will serve everyone and every community regardless of if they come from there
or not. The moment anyone begins to talk to
you about religion or ethnicity, reject him.

summarily!
We need leaders who will unite us because our shared humanity is greater than any differences between us.
And if someone does something wrong or fails in governance, do not support them simply because they're your own

I'm not sure you read the post. Before you start pointing fingers and witch-hunting, the problem is with our society.
Let the change start from you.
