A European friend and colleague of mine referred me to this site bellow: infact, i once had a conversation with this Italian mate: " Why is the media usually saying negative or bad things about Nigeria (Africa), don't you guys have anything good to say?", i asked. The guy simply replied, " I'm afraid, i know NOTHING good to say about Nigeria (Africa)" " Nothing at all", i questioned. " Absolutely Nothing" he insisted. " OK, tell me one good thing about Nigeria (Africa) just ONE" He demanded. I thought for a while, i just couldn't imagine anything "good" about Nigeria (Africa), the few (if any) thing that i'D consider good in Nigeria are the things in which western countries excel at. Though it hurts, but i can see reasons with them for saying negative things about Nigeria. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVVbGEOoCM Now, Can someone actually tell me one, and i mean ONE good thing about Nigeria? |

The people don't sound literate, thorough education has to be initiated in such areas. I don't know why foreigners are the ones who bring these issues to the forefront of our minds. What do our tv stations do anyway?

When will we learn that supernatural powers are a figment of our imagination, the white man learned that a long time ago!
And to think that the churches are doing this in the name of God, all for that =N=

They moan about negative images of Nigeria been shown around the world and say why can't the 'better places' and 'good things' be shown instead. |

I agree with you, infact, i said the same thing to an Italian mate: " Why is the media usually saying negative or bad things about Nigeria (Africa), don't you guys have anything good to say", i asked. The guy simply replied, " I'm afraid, i know NOTHING good to say about Nigeria (Africa)" " Nothing at all", i questioned. " Absolutely Nothing" he insisted.

Some good things= I'm typing this from the comfort of my air-conditioned office with a mug of hot chocolate & from my wireless AMD processing laptop.
I can view from here my 2006 mob.
My investments on the NSE have grown 5 fold in 2 years overall & Abuja is every bit as cool as any city I've been around the globe/
All isn't necessary the way we hear it & bad news generally travels faster than good news.
Cheers,

This isn't news and why are you drinking hot cocoa in the hot African sun, ? Never mind, lol Some good things I would like to hear about Nigeria: Constant electricity for all The reduction of pot holed roads and the construction of new ones An advanced mass transit system in all major cities around the country Low unemployment levels Free nationalized health care Free world class compulsory education for every Nigerian child aged between 4 and 16. Free world class university education for every Nigerian citizen aged 17 to 30 who opts to further their education. The list goes on and on. I don't wish or need to hear about specific Nigerians bragging because they have managed to sit in an air-conditioned office drinking hot choc while the majority plods along in abject poverty and ignorance. |

Wise talk, EloSela. Yes, one "good" thing about Nigeria is the system of transportation, ie a bus never departs unless it is full with passangers or load and can barely contain the driver: no departure or arrival time. Now, i'm still waiting for someone to say one, and i mean ONE "good" thing about Nigeria? |

This is so sad. Not one thing? When last did you go to Naija?
@ Tegese, Nigeria is very rich - resource-wise. It's a sad thing we don't know how to utilize these resources. We're also blessed with brilliant and intelligent mind but it's a sad thing as well that all they do is put it to bad use. |

There are good things about naija. It's just that most of them have a "but". If we know how to curb these, we'll be fine.

One good thing about Nigeria that I've come to appreciate is the WEATHER! Okay - there is no but there for me. Environmentally, we are blessed with beautiful trees 
When you stay in Snow and humidity, you learn to appreciate the rain and the sunny days.
THERE! No Buts, no ifs, no maybes!  |

THERE! No Buts, no ifs, no maybes! Hey, what good whether is there to enjoy when the environments and air are polluted with dust and carbon monoxide smokes from scary vehicles and electric plants and generators? What beautiful trees are there in a forrest that is a nightmare to dare? To what benefit is the rain when there is no drainage to channel the erosion? How does the rain benefit the poor market women and children who barely earn a living by street trading? Well, i'm surprised that you are even talking about nature as the good thing in Nigeria, what about human achievements? Answer me Now, i'm still waiting for someone to say one, and i mean ONE "good" thing about Nigeria? |

Poor communicationepileptic power supply et allall u could think of is that dry annoying weather!!!!!!!!! A place where u can't put on what u like because of the harsh terrible hot!! sun? Lemme tell u. . . .Nigeria's weather is just a l.il iight with 2%merits and 98% demerits. . . Heres what i mean!! During the rainy seasonnearly all the roads are always in a mess!! dirt and stuffs errwhere due to lack or maintenance!! And during the dry season!!. . .there is always water scarcity. . . and that is the season their power supply is more unstable. I prefer snow and stuffs to that spastic hot weather condition in Nigeria. . . .anytime. .any-day. . If not because of A-C made cars and AC itself. . . do u think there would be any whitee in Nigeria? You want to suffocate them? C'montell me something else. . .

The weather has nothing to do with pollution. The pollution is horrible - i know.
You guys are killing me here. Nigerians are the most pessimistic people I've ever come across.
The thing is that we need to find a channel in which we could view our country in better ways.
If you know how blessed we are nature-wise, you wouldn't be this pessimistic about nature.
We have no hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones and other natural disasters.
After experiencing 2 hurricanes. I'D rather be caught in a flood than a hurricane.
Human achievements?
We have intelligent minds in that country. Wole Soyinka and them are making us proud every minute.
Some Nigerians abroad are very influential.
We are the envy of other Africans because we have managed to exert ourselves as a force to reckon with in Africa.
We haven't had a major civil wars in 40 years. We might have religious conflicts but when you look at countries like Sudan and Kenya - you thank God for Nigeria.
With the way Britain screwed us up, I'm surprised we are not totally in the trenches by now.
@ Sly - Roads are our fault and so is drainage. I stay in a place with crazy humidity and trust me, we are blessed with good weather in Nigeria. Whether you like it or not, you can find something good about Nigeria.
No one is dismissing my argument! At least not yet.

Wole Soyinka and them are making us proud every minute. Wole soyinka is making who proud? its most definitely not me kind!! What is the impact he has made in the countryi heard some Nigerians are making $1 dollar a day!! Imagine. . . .and you're here telling me about wole soyinka? We haven't had a major civil wars in 40 years You know how many white oil workers that have been kidnapped in the Niger-delta region? Imagine a state blessed with oil still got lots of people living in penury!!!!!!!! what u have to say about that? After experiencing 2 hurricanes. I'D rather be caught in a flood than a hurricane. Lagos-Ibadan express way is synonymous to hurricane. . . .do u by any change have any idea of the accidents that occurs. . . Along the road on weekly basis? be real sisteru still have no point here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some Nigerians abroad are very influential. Yes and self-centered as i have said earlier!!!!! Bottomlinethere is still nothing good so far about Nigeria The goverment bodies are filled with Stingy pot-bellied selfish power hungry self-centered bunch of Nazis!!!! Next!! One indisputable and impregnable good thing about Nigeria!!! not all these yada lada pin pinsavvy? |
