lafile:

Every Nigerian admires the beauty, orderliness, discipline and decency you find abroad. When someone tells us what it takes, our response is " how it take concern us for naija".

maclatunji:

So how does this affect you and I over a thousand miles away in Nigeria?

blink182:

I must say I'm shocked to see such from people who are not into Christianity religiousness

There are people from all religions/cultures who have admirable qualities.

10 things to learn from Japan :

                   
[b]1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.

4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

Strength of one's character is reflected in one's behaviour at the crucial moment.

Character of people is what makes the character of a nation. This is something that we should reflect upon and think about[/b]

EzeUche:

But Japan has unity culturally, linguistically and historically.

Where is Nigeria's unity? Not in culture, not in language and not in our many histories.

How  did you know all these things It was on the news that they didn't allow foreign media into certain places

Nigeria a country ruled by monkeys /greed - take all from the can /Sit on the can.  The leadership selection process in Nigeria is highly flawed hence the confusion - until you fix that process - the head remains rotten.  If the head is misbehaving the body remains confused.


Only God knows how to fix Nigeria -  With Nigerians still clamouring for PDP ( 12 years of misrule  -- i believe is enough clear evidence) - I dont know or how else to fix Nigeria  

mbatuku1:

Buddhuism is very strict and principled(not saying that christianity doesn't teach morality) when it comes to conduct.

I personally admired how moral conduct was highlighted when I  learnt about the religion, my only problem was with its doctrines.

EzeUche:

^^^

Our old religions were just as strict and principles, before we embraced these foreign religions.

Some Nigerians are always quick to point to successes in foreign countries, yet the very same people will be first in the queue to bash any fellow Nigerian with vision and ability.
This is another Empty thread that lists goals as usual, but makes no suggestion about how to get there. Its all about being loudmouthed.

If you really wish to help Nigeria, start by helping the local talent down your street and getting others to do the same. I don't want to see these lame-brained topics dotting the whole place. They only show up our national inferiority complex.

If you believe you can do it, you will and you won't have to point at the Japanese like they are from Mars.

@ Beaf, just like GEJ is doing for us now, eeehn,, abi no be so,

Certain places not the whole of Japan. Why have come out here to criticize even without reading properly?

@ maclatunji its such a shame that rather than pick some positives out of these actions all you can do is turn a blind eye to it all

okay if you choose to do so, I hope you do not have any Made in Japan products in your house and all your gadgets are made in Nigeria cos you sound like the most patriotic/never want to travel stay at home alone kinds citizen.

What a crying shame,

even the computer wey u dey use sef, no be made in 9ija, and u come dey do holier than thou 4 NL, ish,

abi u think the servers hosting NL forum are made in 9ija,

No need to do swagga like we are doing until we start to act the swagga,

Country wey no fit build car, in 2011 na so so so so so import this import that, even common salt we dey buy bulk of from india,

Fly 50 Cent/Pdiddy in pay him big money, pay home grown rubbish money,

yet you will be the 1st to jump on here about some 9ija artist collabo with some foreign artist, and call it progress

If want to do Pick and Choose, take off those foreign made shoes u have on and wear that Leather skin raw. in its native form

so many points and u could not find one to use in you everyday being .
