Do All Nigerian Critics Suffer From Joshua Complex? by lagosapple: 11:55am On Aug 28, 2012
I read this interesting piece suggesting that all critics suffer from Joshua complex. It defined it this way:" He is suffering from the disease of every critic - double Joshua complex – the desire to see the sun and the moon stand still until Nigeria is transformed and the desire to march around the wall of Aso Rock blowing trumpets until it falls."

I read the Joshua complex to mean critics' refusal to accept that change does not happen overnight and their willingness to keep making noise until the thing that connects us falls. I may be wrong. What's your take?

Yes, again average Nigerian always blame somebody for anything that happen just because we all want to tranfer our greviances on some one else, gov, boss, wife etc it is not that things are okay but we have to make constructive criticism acknowledge d good and point out the bad not blame game (Nigerian type) If rain fall too much it is gov, you dump refuse infront of your house and now flood it is gov, every thing is gov. No we have to know everybody's duty (you, i, and goverment) in the society. When last have u dischage ur own duty properly to the society.

What a sad excuse for incompetence and greed!!!

It is probably best to force a standstill & reverse when your driver is speeding towards an on-rushing train without a "damn" smiley
