There is a trend going on twitter right now, and it is titled #NigerianAreNotCriminals, creator is Nigerian Senator, Ben Murray Bruce and cause of the trend, Muhammad Buhari

The President was quoted to have advised Nigerians against seeking asylum in the United Kingdom, noting that the country’s reputation for criminality ‘has made it hard for them to be accepted abroad’.

Buhari said the motivating factor behind the decision of some Nigerians to join the migrant exodus to Europe- were purely economical, and not necessarily because of the dangers associated with remaining in Nigeria.

The report quotes the President as saying: “Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking.”

“I don’t think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country. We have an image problem abroad and we are on our way to salvage that.”

Meanwhile, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has lashed out at the President over the generalizing and labelling of Nigerians as being involved in crime.

When they loot money, they keep it in Switzerland When they are sick, they go to Germany for medicals When they want to buy household utensils, they go to China When they want to invest for the future, they go to America When buying Mansions, they choose United Arab Emirate When on shopping spree, they travel to France When on holidays, they go to the Bahamas When they want to watch football, they go to Spain or England When their wives want to give birth they go to Ireland When they want to buy arms, they send their aircraft to South Africa with cash When educating their children, they select Canada When those children want to marry, they go to Dubai When they want to pray, they go to Mecca or Jerusalem When they are in their last days, they are flown abroad But after they die, they all want to be buried in Nigeria. Abeg! Help me ask them, Nigeria Na Cemetery?

So am almost done but am really scared, the fear lives with me every passing day as the reality of the end of this program dawns on me. This fear also applies to over 100,000 Nigerian graduates in different parts of the country but the question you want to ask is, why are we afraid? For the majority of us, the answer is simple; we are scared, because we are unable to answer the question; what happens after NYSC? Let me narrate my experience to you.

Am almost done with my National Youth Corp program in Nigeria, for those that have no idea what that means, the National Youth Corps program (NYSC) is a program designed for all Nigerian graduates home and abroad within the ages of 18- 30 to serve by accepting to be posted to different parts of the country to share what they have learnt in school, impact on the society which they find themselves and also learn from that particular society. Nice, ehn! Yeah it is and along with that you will be paid #19, 800 by the government at the end of every month. So am almost done but am really scared, the fear lives with me every passing day as the reality of the end of this program dawns on me. This fear also applies to over 100,000 Nigerian graduates in different parts of the country but the question you want to ask is, why are we afraid? For the majority of us, the answer is simple; we are scared, because we are unable to answer the question; what happens after NYSC? Let me narrate my experience to you. Some day ago, I met this fellow who had passed out of the program and on seeing him; he was looking so dejected and stressed out. So, I approached him and we talked, I asked about his job , he said he was still seeking for one , which was the obvious reason he was exhausted. Then he lamented about missing the #19,800 allowance. one thing is for sure, the Nigerian government never jokes with the corper’s allowance. It is paid promptly every month. So we talked a while and then he left to continue the job of Job seeking because it is a job itself and I stood here, with all kind of thoughts running through my head, with the question of, what happens after? Still “echoing “in my thoughts. Then again, I saw an old school mate of mine ( he was not serving because he was above 30) days after meeting the ex-corper, although he didn’t see me but I noticed he was carrying a file with lots of documents in it, and for a minute I paused on the road , because I knew that was certainly his CV, how do I know? You just know a job seeker when you see one, don’t you? Ok let’s say it was, so I paused and memories of our universities days came rushing back, and by the time I got to where I was going I was dejected and asked myself, which way for the Nigerian youth corper, whose parents or who independently struggled to go to the university and finished with a second class degree or a first class or worse a second class lower degree. To be frank, Most Nigerian youth in senior secondary school and tertiary institution always relish the moment they would also serve their fatherland ( that was they call they process) but when they get to the NYSC that’s when the true reality hits them. The program is a bloody waste of time! At least this is what most people say at the beginning until the last 100 days of the program when the fear of having to return home with no Job and NO #19, 800 which is essentially the most important for most corpers in the country. In the first 90 days, the fear is strong, and the question, a corper begins to ask, what next after Nysc? In the second 60 days

Life can keep you so busy that it feels like a big challenge to move towards your dreams. It gets even more complicated if you have a full-time job and kids – you would have to wake up as early as 4 am to prep the children and beat the notorious Lagos traffic.




However, no matter how busy your schedule is, there are a few productive things you should do daily before the day’s activities start and here are five of those important things you should do.



Get healthy sleep

Sleep is as important as eating and drinking water. Despite this the high rate of awareness surrounding this topic, millions of people still do not get enough sleep daily and the consequence of that is that they easily lose concentration. Advantages having a great sleep regimen include increased memory, reduced stress, and decreased risk of depression. So sleep as much as you but do not slumber all day.

Take a cold shower

Taking your bath in the morning is already a tradition. A cold shower in the morning relaxes the body and improve your metabolism. The result of this is that it enhances your quality. Of course, a quality life is guaranteed to have a positive impact on your general well-being.

Life in the city is all about struggles and it is way too crowded, at least from the perspective of a rat that is. Yeah am a rat, and I was born and bred in the city, making me an elite among my peers because I have lived the urban lifestyle all my life. So as I was saying , life in the city is a little bit tough because you have to struggle for stuffs especially if you live in the working class gutter in the city, but there is always enough to eat because people in the city are always very generous. They are very "wasteful" people and have rubbish to dispose all the time, so we never run out of food, especially the festive period. Xmas was a blast; I had a chicken to myself for a whole week.

So back to my story, am a rat, there is no need to reveal my name due to security reasons, I have a 10 siblings and numerous cousins, my mother told me. In fact I don’t recognize my cousins when we meet in Public except when mum greets them and introduces them, when we meet at the food stores. Our family is an extended one, and according to grandpa who died on new year’s day, I have cousins all over the country and even some I hear live overseas. I wonder how it feels to live over there. So one day, some of my cousins came to visit us in our new house since the humans who lived there vacated the place without notice or care for us
