Some call it resilence others never say die, and yet others enterprising spirit. I call it born hustler. Naija too much. Goodluck Nigeria

@Afam4eva That some of our leaders are corrupt is not enough reason to detest our GOD given country. Even the nations we admired were once in a mess. it's better a hoping and striving Spirit than a defeated spirit. At least we have good reasons to be proud of who we are. As long as you keep doing something for yourself.
@ITbomb You can say that again and again. Naija too much
