Mujtahida:

Almost impossible to be honest in this country. Nigeria makes the imperative of survival too pressing, too choking, makes life so demanding. If you want some air, you gats to steal, deceive and cheat others. A regular Nigerian is a cheat. I'm not judging no one. Nigeria made us so.

“I struggle to get good jobs; I have done my best. I should have left Nigeria 20 years ago, but I stayed to contribute my quota to its development.

Mujtahida:

In context we are saying the same thing.

dermmy:


Go and sleep jor are you saying the suffering started under Buhari it started many years back even after independence.

Phut:

No we are not. We are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
You were making excuses that Nigeria makes people dishonest. My point is that Nigeria is the way it is because people are dishonest. Kpom kwem.

EgunMogaji:
This was such a depressing read for me

Guys, is Nigeria's economy really this bad now?

Shortyy:
OMG his children are cute!!

colonist:

eleojo23:
The more I try to have hope in Nigeria, the more I see reasons to give up on her.

Honestly, this is a frustrating place to live. Nothing is normal here.

ogtavia:
Honestly..i feel his pain. Its difficult to be honest in this country.

Mujtahida:

What I mean is that intrinsically Nigerians are not dishonest but we have created a society, a system that corrupts us.

Key word:we created.

Simplep:
Nigeria my country,abeg dnt go o,we are in dis togeda

onatisi:


baba, if me a fanatical supporter of people doing things in nigeria and staying in nigeria can now be be shouting that talented youths and individuals who knows they have something tangible to do in their lives should leave naija , then you should know that things have really gone from bad to worst .

Dreyl:
I guess you don't know this is a zoo, thank God I have two passports.

Josh44s:
This is exactly what every Nigerian is going through. We do not want Otedola or Dangote wealth, just the basic amenities to enable life and the environment conducive for us to live in. An ordinary nursery school teacher overseas live a standard life, a barber, mechanic, laborer, Sales reps live comfortable lives, own exotic rides, lives in good apartments overeseas. Policemen overseas are living so comfortable that you will want to join the police force not to mention the Army or Navy. This is the sad reality in Nigeria and almost 97% of countries in Africa. I am tired abeg, I am really tired and I give up just like this man. God help us.

Asowari:
which country are u staying presently. and what kind of work are u doing ?

Phut:


Okay. So since we created it, each and everyone of us is responsible for undoing the mess. Everyone of us must resolve to be honest in the small things and by so doing, change the prevailing culture. After all, little drops of watch make an ocean.

Also a person who can’t be faithful in the little things, cannot be faithful in big things. E.g. the Politicians did not just become thieves when they were sworn into office. Politicians are chosen from the polity. The more honest the polity is (generally) the greater the chances that we will actually get an honest politician.

Infact,on the judgement day God should at least try to ask the country one is from, so he can know the kind of judgement he can give that person......some things should not be sin in this country..... Nigeria hard no be small.... Lol.
