The Definition Of A Hero The Nigerian Way by olawaleroc: 3:57pm On Apr 06, 2015
Weekend digest from my facebook Wall:

THE DEFINITION OF A HERO THE NIGERIAN WAY
The real definition of a hero is someone who does something or performs an act of extraordinary. A hero in Nigeria is a person who does the (normal) thing his counterpart in the civilised countries will do when faced with the same situation . With this definition, it is very easy for you and I to obtain the status of a hero in Nigeria. How? Just perform any of the below normal duties.

1. Give to the less privileged or the poor
2. Return a lost item to the owner
3. Obey traffic lights and zebra crossing
4. Refusal of bribe
5. Provision of basic amenities to the community or group you are in charge of
6. No record of theft or mismanagement in the department or government you are heading
7. Handing over of power to a successor who actually defeated you fair and square in a poll

The list can go on and on but the good news for you and I is, to acquire this esteemed status of a local, state, or national hero in Nigeria we can just practice one of those civic duties required of us by common propriety law to completion without any act of deviation or compromise. These principles to heroism in Nigeria can be applied by individuals, organisations and finally by the Government to 100% success rate.

Nigeria did not qualify for 2015 nations cup. But Nigeria return the trophy she won in the last edition. Using the same standard for praising GEJ "heroic" action for conceding defeat in an election he lost, Nigeria should be given CAF award for returning the trophy she didn't qualify to defend. Very silly to say the least grin grin grin
