Nigerians; Slaves Of Perception by DipHorizon(m): 9:11pm On Nov 17, 2013
Nigeria is a very big country, with a lot of big qualities. A great nation, whose strides on history is unmatchable. Nigeria is so blessed beyond the measure of any knowledge. Nigeria is that country that outruns the knowledge of man. Blessed with very vast human resources, that cannot be compared with any kind around the world. Nigeria is a country where everything works and expected to work. Nigeria is that country where every man is rich; where our roads are tiled with money. Even in the rough we have enough to feed nations. Even the rocks produces green plants… even the Nigeria weather tells a lot because it is a weather that is suitable for all race… what a blessed country?
The bottom line is this anything that does not survive in Nigeria or work in Nigeria is not expected to work anywhere else.
Trying to explore the vast resources in Nigeria is like trying to define God… what blessed a country?
To cut short the long story I will say Nigeria is the garden where God was before creating the Garden of Eden.

On contrast, to this description the citizens are living in the opposite life of my introductory picture.
Nigerians don’t have it all together. Who is to be blamed for all of this? Some would say the leaders, corruption or any other English they have in their heads. We all know what the problem his but we don’t know how the problem came to life. If we don’ know how this monster called corruption fights we cannot strategize how to fight it.
Nigerians have a very strong perception to all issues i.e. how they judge situations with the five senses. Every Nigerian has a perception, on our number one problem, but still yet they live to the glory of corruption. Perception is an inefficient way of judging. We have made our concepts, morals and standards to be subject to our perception and to the percepts of our leaders.
A Nigeria life with a tag has “a mother of corrupt seeds”. As a Nigerian what’s your stand on corruption. Nigeria is a country, Nigerians makes Nigeria a great or bad nation. If Nigeria is a corrupt country that means it is cause by the effect of individual Nigerians.
The kind of perception every Nigerian has tells a lot about why Nigeria is a struggling nation. Nigerians find it had to practice the sermon they preach. Nobody is ready to build a concept to what they perceive.
Nigeria is a country configured with impatient citizens who cannot follow things through. Most of us blame our leaders while we have not being able to lead our five senses. We blame our leaders for misappropriation or wasteful spending of national money. Now, from your personal budgets … the money you allocate for rent have you spent it on food because you are hungry? Most of us don’t see it as a big deal but it is a big deal. The money you are supposed to spend on your shoes, why should you spend it on your clothes? That’s the problem with the Nigerian system
We are being enslaved by our own perceptions because our concepts are subject to them. Let us wake up to our concepts, morals, and standard and worth… and stop being enslaved by our perception.
