What do you love about Nigerians?

Me?
As a Nigerian, I love our indomitable spirit, our survivor skills, our sublime self-confidence, our love for family, and our biting sense of humour.

Most important, I value our inherited will to excel.

The food, the humour(esp. Edo/Urhobo folks), the hustling spirit of the men(and the ability to make something out of nothing reminiscent of the biblical turning of water to wine), fashion sense, love/passion for education and being educated, and Super Eagles of Nigeria....

Erhm...sis, were you trying to post this here or politics section?
Meanwhile I've asked and no word exactly on when the preview will be back. Sawwrry.

@topic, why we love Nigerians? the richness of culture, the diversity of people (though that seems to be the greatest weakness), the FOOD! lol, the fantastic, colorful native attire etc etc...plenty to love about naija.

yes, i guess i wanted it here. wanna make something of it, sis!


i really didn't know where was best for my purposes. but i figured it could pass muster here if i worded it 'internationally' enough.

you are free to move it, jesweet.

Our street-smartness.
The never say die attitude..
The unity in some of our diversities. (forget what NL politic section says)
The hard-work


Oh,how can i forget our parties(music and culture entwined)!
Nothing beats a proper "owambe" with our sky-high geles shaking what mama gave us to good fuji/juju music.

Okay, you may move it to Politics section. More appropriate there.

Live long and prosper.

P.S. And you can move this to Foreign section if you're able.

Done! handfuls are more fun . More length and constrast to your shadow sister . I'll ask the politics mod to help move the other thread here.

I love warri boys, calabar girls and Nigerian home grown weed

The food. I want some pounded yam and egusi right now, this minute!
Our sense of humour.
Our hospitality; we're very welcoming to people, at least IMO.

everything! Other than our instinct to commit fraud

The bull-dog-like-never-say-die attitude. I am Nigerian

we too dey support barca

Everything, especially our penchant for using words doubly such - follow follow, look look, shine shine, worry worry, cheat cheat, cry cry, gbemu gbemu, waka waka, sleep sleep, fight fight, chop chop, etc.

We are resilient people!!

IGBO FOOD and CALABAR KPEKUS

i love the government....

Our survivor skills, nigerians are also funny by nature

The always entertaining madness very diverse in fields ranging from different people for different reasons at different places..

suffering and smiling,,,,, they survive in every situation...

Love the fact that in Nija anything is possible, expecially in nollywood

i love our heritage, culture,tradition, adaptability and confidence with love

Nigerians are a rare breed, I admire their doggedness and resilience. Even in the face of hardship, Nigerians find something to smile about.

-You knock a Nigerian down, he picks himself up and keep moving.

-You blink an eye in the presence of a Nigerian, he stings you like a scorpion

What I love abt naija? Definitely d crazy humour! Only in naija do we hav an official "associaton of witches and wizards" (who,during their last meeting on d 29th of january,endorsed certain politians and decided that a few others were in their bad books),lol
Only in naija do we hav a police force that arrests a cow for stabbing a 24-year old "teenager" with a broken bottle.
Only in naija,dow we hav star-actresses who confess that they are witches during church services.
Only in naija do we hav girls with names like 'nneka','kosisochukwu','sikiratu',who,once they leave their family homes,metamorphose into 'Natalia' 'cassandra' 'serena'!lmao!
Only in naija (movies) do we hav chicks who are so desperate abt phones that they use "jazz" to turn their men into "bold 5"!hehehe.
Only in naija do we celebrity pastors with names like "Sign Fireman"
Only in naija,do we hav...My God! D list is endless,lol.

The biggest black nation in the world.

I spent 30 minutes staring at Nairaland and thinking of what I like about Nigerians but I found none.

Nigerians has this attitude of creating fun out of grave issues. No matter how much they criticize government of the day they still surge on with life, not waiting for the rain of manna. I love Nigerians.
