ademoladeji: Well, I wanna bliv you're a nigerian to know that our leaders have had most of all these pre-planned. We all know how things panned out during our days in schools. Fine! there must be action for a counter-action to take place. Buh I want you to know that all these efforts made by the citizens do not actually affect the decisions of the FG. We all live in a world of Naijawood where all plays r directed by Political factor. We've been highly politicised.

olushowunm: @Op... When I saw this post, I thought you will talk about our general attitudes to work, society and ourselves... But I was surprised to read about one aspect of our unseriousness. Nigeria to me still have a long way to go, most of our youths believes in civil service jobs and thinks when you have it, you are made for life. People have stop dreaming, our people have wrong ethics to work, life and everything. All of us wants to wake up a Billionaire like Dangote but we are never ready to pay the price. We all want a just and equitable society but we are always not seen when the time comes to ask for those rights. In short I have come to to tagged Nigerians; "Cowards, lazy and Bloodsucking corrupt people"...

Ladystewie: Nigerians are just fun loving people and the ability to find fun in a rather serious situation in a bid to reduce the tension is genius to me. I think such 'jokes' tend to calm the people down and I don't really see anything wrong with it.

red101:

I see your point here but how can a problem be solved if people do not take it seriously.
when it comes to your backyard, I bet you won't be laughing.

Ishilove:
I must disagree with you. Nigerians are resilient and very enterprising people. They are also following the footsteps of their leaders. The system is decayed but intead of fighting that decay, we are sitting behind computer screens and drawing funny cartoons.

sage2:

If we are truely resilient and enterprising as you claimed, then why are we where we are today? The truth is that we steal from each other as well as we steal from the government. There is a difference between hustling and hardwork, enterprise and sharp practices.

People complain of lack of jobs but as soon as they get employed, the next thing they want to do is to steal their employer to bankruptcy. Sometimes their employers can't even afford salaries for months and surprisingly, they still report to work. Then you wonder how they pay their bills.

I have had people told me that if they knew what I know, "dem go use am make money". But they are never even willing to give what I gave to know what I know - they just wish with nothing but money on their minds.

We can't generate enough electricity, can't run our oil industry, can't secure our cyberspace, can't clean our environment, can't administer our justice system in manner that is seen as just, can't deliver primary health care, can't provide basic, quality and relevant education and yet we are resilient ans enterprising? Someone has got to be kidding me.

I challenge all the so called billionaires to justify their enterprise by showing us the value the added to the chain. I have no respect for any agent of malfeasance.

Nope. Check again.

LarrySun: I'm not surprised; since our verbal communication has often remained badly ambiguous; we blame the government for everything evil. No one is ready to take responsibility for the defects of the society; instead, we make asinine (even evil) jokes to mask our discomfort. The first sign of headache can be a neckache. We may suddenly wake up one morning to find out that these unserious fiends are candidates for straitjackets who'd escaped the confinements of their mental asylums.

The theory that the crippled government is the cause of the imbroglio circulating all around the federation is, I feel, a somewhat too complacent half-truth; we are the architects of our own mishaps. The civilians allowed themselves to be held by the ears like rabbits and tossed into the thorns by imbeciles of higher echelons whose acidulated mien and balderdashing decadents has made them dizzy with their own intellectual altitude, all just for the paltry sum of thirty pieces of silver. I fear for the growing generations; for when even giants are toppled, what hope is there for the midgets?

We should rise up, take the bull by the flank and make our stands against these revolting oppressors among ourselves; the state of the nation has gone beyond the days of 'twinkle, twinkle little stars'...cracking jokes about our own misfortunes is a perfect show of 'suffering and smiling'.

VivyGift: Sometimes it annoys me when I see some serious issues taken as a joke, instead of us to put our heads together probably to fight against it or find a solution to it.
