We have to hold them responsible coz for instance wen they campaign they neva fulfil there promises. Some tribe r superior here

Pavillon:

lool

you see, when you are talking about stricts and crazy armed forces in w/Africa, dont even talk about Francophone countries, esp if you dont understand French again, d speed at which dy will determine your case ehen

robinso01:
Like I do always say, government is not the problem of Nigeria, but individuals. There's no excuse to be a thief, a thief is a thief. I've seen a lot of situations where Nigerians scam each others, is the government also responsible for that also. Nigerians just have bad mentality, all we could think of is getting joy by making others cry.

Diamondniyi:

Who motivated the citizens?? Is it not your governments. 25years ago when we had better governments, is this how everything was? Trust me, main problem facing this nation are our leaders. 20% of the problems come from citizens

IMAliyu:
Well few may still exist in this country.

When you don't trust yourself, you will not make the mistake of trusting some random person.

I still meet old people at ATMs that will try giving you their cards and telling you their pin to help them withdraw.
I'm usually like Baba I will help show you how to withdraw, but please don't tell me your pin.

FacelessKing:
Nigerians are quite desperate people.

This desperation for success, though a good thing, is mostly badly controlled.

Every way na way for Nigerians.

That will be a free car my brother.

MUTERIKA:
Your last assertion though, the bad are not more than the good so to say, they are just very outspoken and popular due to the phenomenon called 'social media'

Stalwert:


We are a funny people. Nigerians blame government for Yahoo boys crimes. We lack the concept of taking responsibility for our actions.

It is so sad our value system has fully degraded. I remember back in Primary school where we read about village where people left their wares unattended to, just pick what you want and drop the money. Today such thinking will earn you derisive laughter.

Moneyboyz:


[s]I see people talking about yahoo boy crimes etc.

No one will engage in yahoo if there are jobs, many have ideas that can bring in millions but without financial backings, the banks will not borrow a NOBODY with ideas money, But the government can support.

Many have dropped out of school because there are no financial backings, whatever happened to student loan that the government cannot provide.

Also the issue of poor currency, we import everything which makes things worse, the 18 thousand minimum wage won't help anyone's situation now that a dollar is 450+ naira. If a dollar is around 10 naira below, no one will waste tangible amount of their time savaging for $100 chicken change cause by the time they bring it home it will amount to nothing.

Ogun state has quite a large amount of manufacturing companies and none is government owned except for ewekoro which I'm sure is under private supervision.
Workers are being maltreated in their own countries yet our black cow brain leaders and the labor union have done nothing about it.
Hunger and the reality that no future awaits if you do nothing in the country drives people to do crazy things.
I'm in no way encouraging crime, I'm just saying if resources are available for everyone, things will get better[/s]

It can never happen in West or East Nigeria.
Northern Nigeria shops are mostly not locked and yet those guys don’t rob the shops.


I used to work at the MMA and I discovered our mentality has a Nigerians is to steal and blame it on devil or government if caught.

Senegalese police will inform you to come to station yourself.
If I report someone to the police
They will give me a letter to give the person
Once the person collects the letter from me then the person must appear in the station
Failure not to appear can land you 3 weeks in prison without even looking at your case.

Many Nigerians have ended in Senegalese jails for useless crime and many so called big boy Nigerians have slapped or beaten up Senegalese police thinking they are dealing with Nigeria police officers.
They will not even look at their cases even through many were innocent but sentence to over 10 years in prison.
I hope it's not the northern Nigeria I grew up and still residing. Guy if you try it,boys will clean out your shop within a twinkle of an eye.so pls don't miseducate people.

Is the white man trust worthy ? ...is the Chinese trust worthy? Russians ? ...u need a bit of aggressiveness to grow really ...most Africans lack this except maybe igbos

The rules is meant to keep the weak man down ...there is no rule in this world ...it's a dog eat dog world

No country achieved growth without doing something bad .. except the few small country with large resources ...it's a matter of time they would soon drop too

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MARKone:


Nah, Nigerians are criminally minded. That is why Red flags are raised when you introduce yourself as a Nigerian in a foreign land, locally same thing, everyone is a suspect. Your narration, is not complete, did you see the phone repairer again, because that guy that confidently drop his phone, might as well have set the phone repairer up, you see Nigerians ehen, you need to be extra careful
