11 Things Nigerians Do Better Than All Other Africans by Sirniyeh(m): 11:14am On Apr 23, 2015

Below are 10 things Nigerians are doing better than other Africans:

1. Business development

Nigerians have good business culture. We are accustomed to developing with new business ideas, creating small and large business organizations, from
technology to entertainment. We bring in diverse perspectives to Nigerian business methods, we know how to interact and connect with investors and
business partners within and outside Nigeria, as we position ourselves for greater success. No wonder, the country is the economic power-house in Africa;
it is a base for business innovation and distinction.

2. Work hard, play hard

Nigerians work hard, and play hard. If you are looking for people who work so hard and never feel the pain, talk about Nigerians. The beautiful thing
about us ––we are smart. We know how to work effectively and get great results through short cuts. You must have heard a lot of myths about Nigerians,
some of these stories are true when it comes to cutting corners. We like to hustle and wrestle our
ways to success.
*
3. Living life to its fullest

Even as the ancient may have retained its grip over the lives of Nigerians in terms of culture and
tradition, many have embraced the future, maintaining a laissez- faire attitude toward living life to its fullest. Nigerians understand that life is to be lived once and they get crazy with gadgets, cars,
partying and socializing. The fun never ends even during funeral services.
*
4. Exciting entertainment scene – best in Africa

Nigerians are good in producing the finest movies in Africa. According to Wikipedia, “Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world” and of
course, the largest in Africa. Gone are the days when
Nigerians make movies that do not make sense in quality and storyline. Some of the current movies that are produced by Nigerians can compete with some Hollywood movies even though most of these movies may not compete favourable in budget and spending but they are just amazing.

5. Nigerians create wealth from mundane things

There is hardly a niche in the world where a Nigerian does not have power and influence. The quest to be the best has always been the backbone of our successful story. A lot of Nigerians started their stories from nothing and ended up as gurus in different industries. We strongly believe in the
slogan ‘No condition is permanent’ – We go make am
one day!
*
6. We love collectibles– we know how it works

Maybe you have not heard that some Nigerians are buying some of the most costly buildings on the world’s most expensive street in London -Edgerton Crescent. It is not only in London that this love for luxury properties can be seen. Nigerians love showing off and buying these expensive properties around the world is simply one of the ways of
expressing this lifestyle. With all the education, hard work, risk taking and smart investing, Nigerians love to live large and enjoy the finer things in life. Spend it if you’ve got it!
*
7. Real survivors:

We are everywhere, from London to New York. You can see us on the streets of New York struggling to sell CDs to make sure that we send money home. There is hardly a harsh economic terrain in the world
where a Nigerian cannot survive. It is one trait that
makes us exceptional in Africa.
*
8. Literary gems

Should we start calling names? Nigerians have a lot of writers since the days of Chinua Achebe who made a landmark in the literary world. Nigerians have gifted hands like Wole Soyinka, Chika Unigwe, Chimamanda
Adichie and Helon Habila who are making waves around the world. It is not that there no other African writers who are doing great, there are so many
but sure Nigerians does the literary thing better. Not to forget the new trend of blogging.
(We no dey carry last!)
*
9. We make things happen

Foreigners and other Africans give the thumbs up to Nigerians for always transforming dull and boring scenes to exciting ones. There is this thing about
Nigerians that give them the ability to make things happen. From music, comedy to fashion, even our sense of humour is unique and that is why we are so
different. Little wonder, thousands visit Nigeria during vacations or festivals to see and enjoy our exciting events and activities.
*
10. Worship To God:

In term of worship to God, nigeria is a force to reckon with. Through length and breathe of the globe even the restricted area nigeria still thrives. Every nooks and cranies, you find worship centres. Nigerian Pastors are the best-leading in the world, not only Africa.

11. Brain-Work:

Nigerians are more identified as best fraudsters and 419...
