The Best Thing About Nigeria Is..... by ferdvict2(m): 7:24pm On May 23, 2015
Nigerians often complain about the negative
portrayal of their country in the
international media which often focuses on
corruption and violence.

So the BBC asked residents of the
commercial capital, Lagos, what they
thought was best about living in Africa's
most populous nation and what they
wanted the rest of the world to know about
Nigeria.

Here are their 10 favourite things.

1) Nigerians are happy
Emeka Iluchukwu, visual artist:
Okocha Jude, businessman

2) Nigeria is a land of opportunities
Vanessa Iloenyosi, brand executive:
Abayomi Usim, TV producer:

3) Nigerians are resilient
Alesta Wilcox, chartered accountant:
Paul Oseh, graphic designer:
"The greatest thing I think about we
Nigerians is that we are wonderful
people. We are so resourceful despite
challenges that comes our way and the
political tussle for power. In one nutshell
Nigeria is a wonderful place, we're
creative and imaginative"

4) Nigerians are problem-solvers
Damian Nzeka, teacher:
"It's not really a peaceful country but we
bless the name of God because we're still
here today. When we are positive with
our minds we work something good out.
We want things to go well for us, we can't
run away from our home; this is our land
we have to make it work"

5) Nigeria is diverse and specialist
Iluore Loueth, fashion designer:
Donatus Ezeji, IT specialist:
"We are special because if you look at
Nigeria - each time we have problem, we
usually solve it at the last minute - we
have been avoiding crisis. When we get to
that point, we always sort it out - instead
of going to war or something like that"

6) Nigerians are hard workers
Orji Micah, builder:
"The Nigerian people are industrious, they
work hard, they're not lazy - and they can
endure whatsoever hardship, they can
survive it any place"


7) Nigeria has great weather
Moses Onyibe, mobile photo trader:
"The weather of the country is better
compared to other countries and we have
the biggest river - the River Niger - in
West Africa region - so I enjoy my country
basically because of the environment - it's
very conducive"
Chinedu Ugochukwu, businessman:
"The weather is beautiful all year round
and this is just the beginning of good
things to come... the people are friendly,
very welcoming. You can't beat it, it's a
lovely dynamic country, every day new
things are coming up, new ideas, [and
Lagos] it's a city that never sleeps"

cool Nigeria has freedom of speech
Akpofure Tony Tegar, hotelier:
Stanley Osiaku, trader:
"You are free to talk to anybody - no
matter how big or small the person is. We
have freedom of speech to have a
dialogue with somebody. Or if somebody
offends you, you are free to say it out"

9) Nigerians have a great sense of humour
Chukwuma Nwana, beauty salon general
manager:

10) Nigeria is hospitable
