That's not what "Charity begins at home" infers. Nigerians always think it has to do with parents training their child lololol. Always wanted to say that.

Interesting question. I don't believe there is one answer. These are some likely answers:

1. Nigerians do not love the country enough to die for it: Since I have come here, I have seen the fierce patriotism and Nationalism of Americans and noted the differences from Nigeria. It is the love for the USA that makes majority of Americans suspicious of government and willing to die for the ideals the country espouses. It is a kind of romantic relationship with the country. Their history, their war against Britain, their ups and downs from the past, all of these come together to make the country look like a lover to an American. This kind of love for one's country is not present in most Nigerians. Nigerians do not usually ask what they can do for their country, instead what their country can do for them. If their country cannot do it for them, they find a way to get it done, instead of fighting to make their country able to do it for them.

2. Nigerians are not united against "the government" as a foe: Where one man is complaining about lack of job, another is using his connections to corruptly get contract from the government. Another is feeding off his local government chairman by being a political thug. Another is thinking, "I just have to get out of this goddamn country." Another is like, "whatever." In essence, Nigerians have not been pushed to the point where nothing matters but to drive out the politicians from the country.

3. The Nigerian Factor: If a revolution is to start today, there will be many who will doubt it because they can never be sure. In Nigeria, seeing is not believing. Back in the days in OAU, whenever it was time to protest one school policy or the other, you will find those who will run to Lagos, hide in their rooms, or just show general indifference. Some are scared of getting expelled. Some believe that-and it once happened-some of the student leaders make deals with the school authority that the students do not know about. So this leaves them thinking, "Why should I risk my life for something that may just be empty?" Take a look at Femi Fani-Kayode. Did he not use to be an anti-Abacha guy before he came to join OBJ? Those kind of characters and Nigeria's history of these kind of political betrayals make it hard to want to join any sort of revolution. To put it simply, many Nigerians are not sure that the guy next in line to them during a revolution is not the one that will pull the trigger for their death.

As per nigerians being cowards i think the issue is nigerians generally do not care about nigeria but what they can milk get from nigeria

tom28:

To the creator of this i think you just making a side sweeping issue and u been biased calling nigerians cowards.If nigerians are cowards then how were they able to fight Sani Abacha and his goons to a standstill.Remember many nigerian journalists and private citiziens lost their lives trying to fight Abacha"s dictatorship.On the issue of the current leaders in power their rope is getting smaller and closer will come the day when most nigerians will tell them enough is enough.It has already begun in the niger delta and soon it will spread througout the whole country.

tom28:

To Nuzo
Nigerians were fighting Abacha with their bare hands but then Abacha was killing innocent nigerians and not fighting them with sophisticated weapons and ammos supplied to him by the American Govt.Remember how the Ogonis died and other nigerians died too fighting for the truth.Hell why i am even saying this to u since u one of those pampared rich nigerian kids staying in the diaspora and since its obivious u havent been to nigeria in the last 10 yrs.

@topic

The few weeks ive spent here have made me realize that 97% of Nigerians are not only cowards, but arrogantly ignorant. They think that the deep shyte they are in is normal. . . . and god help you if you tell them otherwise.

To beaf
I do believe its the responsiblity of every nigerian wether young and old to join hands together to fight this cancerious corrupt leaders in the corriders of power and it shouldnt be the job of the youths alone.

Beaf:

Those organising the demonstrations and speaking out are not youths. Unlike in similar times in the past (even under military regimes) the youth voice is disgracefully silent.
All over the World, demonstrations are powered by youth; the exception seems to be present day youth of Nigeria, they would rather cling to their mothers wrappers.
