Reacting to a 2015 tweet by a Nigerian man, who disclosed there's nothing great about Nigeria apart from its music and food, a UK diplomat who has been to 113 countries, took to same platform to tell the Twitter user how Nigeria is great and what is actually wrong.

Here are the tweets;

I hope it sinks into his flat head.

II think there is a vibe about Nigerians and the way we carry ourselves but the Government needs to do more, we need more innovative ideas to make Nigeria really great and make our passport better than Germany's

God bless this diplomat.

I love this country no matter what!
What exactly do you love about this country? That the system isn't working? You were born here and I believe you are above 20 yrs. Because a foreigner who has been here for 3 years mostly living in a highbrow area in Abuja think it's great doesn't make it great. Let the man with the entire UK bar the administrators move down here so we move to the UK and let him witness firsthand what we have been going through in the hands of our leaders for 30 years I bet he will think otherwise.

Bro, I love Nigeria because I have no other country but this.
That doesn't mean I don't feel the pains of our terrible system.

You loving it is different from it being great in its entirety.
With no disrespect to you, Nigeria has been known to like mediocrity that's why someone who has been here permanently since 1990 will think the country is great.

But the diplomat is not living in Nigeria or shopping in Nigerian markets or using the Nigerian health centers.

Basically, he is not wearing the shoe and does not know where it pinches.

I'm proudly Nigerian anyday but let's not deceive ourselves that it's easy being one.

Exactly. He isn't living on the country's minimum wage structure. He is one of those that our force men will chase it's citizens from a mall For because the diplomat wants to shop.

The diplomat does not have to stay in Nigeria. He has been groomed in a normal society where everything works and people think a certain way so he thinks it applies to every country. He is ignorant of the realities in Nigeria. If you disagree, please list five things about Nigeria that signifies a country that is normal or has the potential of reaching greatness. Be mindful of the reality. Plus, Nigeria was never great. I wonder where you get this idea from. How can a country be great when more than half it's existence has been under a dictatorial leadership, is dependent on only one source of revenue, has zero infrastructure, is corrupt to the bone, and dirty as phuck? Be truthful to yourselves and maybe you'll have a chance of being great one day. Just maybe. I doubt it though.

As You can see, the Guy that talked of Nigeria not being a good country is from that side.
But then, It is still the same side of Nigeria, that will protest when any one is to be investigated for Corruption.
it is them that will carry Placards and Protest forDasuki... it is them that will make noise online for Dokpesi after the later has confessed to taking money.. it is still them that will come all out to say that Methuh has the best right to not give back stolen money.
it is Them that will tell u, "what of Ameachi" when honest Nigerians ask " How did PEJ have 15billion in an account*


and it is still them that will export drugs everywhere.. giving Nigerians bad name and image, and it is still them that after doing all this they will call Nigeria a Zoo and Nigerians Animals..
but will still be the ones claiming victimisation and wailing over everything.

It About Time all Nigerians come together to ensure that we kick them out.. As an Akwa Ibomite and a Niger Deltan, I knw we here are ready to know kick them out...


IF ATALL WE WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING LASTING, WE NEED TO SEND AWAY ALL THOSE DESTROYING THE SMALL THINGS WE ARE BUILDING.

For Eze to be realistic enough to say Nigeria is a failed state and Ade thinks Nigeria is great I wonder who the real Mumu is.

Honesty though. This guy stayed in a pompom hotel, arranged transport from a to z, googled safe areas to visit and all. Everything was arranged to suit exactly what he wanted to experience.

Naija naija cheesy.
