denony:. What makes u think u are among the 1% Don't be too sure my friend. I was reading a book and the author quoted some experts who asserted that every normal human being exhibits at least 3 minutes of madness daily. So tell me, what can u make out from this statement if it is to be taken seriously? |

These politician must be highly involved. No wonder they commit various atrocities |

If they count poverty as a state of mental disability, then 70% is too small. May be 95%. Otherwise, i don't believe this crap. It's just like the American survey which says Africans have low IQ. Utter rubbish. |

No wonder many people I know suddenly go loco without notice and they still think they are normal. Nigeria is in trouble. |

The Psychiatrist's conclusions are very subjective. I'm afraid I'm not buying into his argument. Yeah, some Nigerians might display strange behaviour once in a while or might be certified mad men and women, but that does not make 70% of Nigerians mentally unstable. I'm talking from experience. Someone might start behaving aggressively due to the pressures of life. Maybe the person is jobless or he's just be swindled by fraudsters. What about a lady who has just been jilted by a guy she loves deeply? Loads of things happen in this life but I've noticed that as soon as we put bad occurrences behind us, we become ourselves again. I make bold to say there were times when I've behaved like a lunatic in the past [ Though I was sane and doing well with my life ] due to some issues I had. As for the lady that said she has come across many Nigerians with mental problems in the UK, I agree with her to an extent. However, her line of argument is also subjective. Many Nigerians in Britain are worried because of visa problems, bewitchment by envious people [ Don't laugh o ] veiled racism and their daily struggle to survive. The whites in Britain have their own mental problems too. I only pray that God sees us through in all our endeavours in life and wherever we find ourselves. Cheers. www.vibes-extra..com |

Abeg, @Redman44 & co, before you hang Dr. Psychiatrist by the noose, answer this question: "Do 70% (or more) of Nigerian leaders exhibit mental instability in form of blind greed, aggravated kleptomaniac tendencies (aka corruption), unreasonable grip on power, and lack of sensitivity to those they swore to serve?" If yes, the apple never falls far from the tree. Persin wey dey craze be the last to know say him craze o! Na the cure we suppose dey look for. |

The researcher probably conducted his research in a mental institution. Or, may be he surveyed some angry people who are still seeking employment after years of graduation. |

What is the Meaning of 'Mentally Unstable'? How long do you have to be mentally Unstable for you to be 'mentally unstable', He must have surveyed himself and found out he is 70% 'mentally unstable', and we can't trust his judgement because he is definitely mentally unstable, |
Re: 70% Of Nigerians Are Mentally Unstable - Psychiatrist by Outstrip(f): 6:25pm On Jul 09, 2010 |
People are just upset about this but I still say I believe. There are some accepted behaviors that I see displayed sometimes that I completely feel are psychopathic but Nigerians will say it is okay or that is just the way things are done. Coupled with the fact that most people are frustrated then we have a serious problem. Now these might not be people running the streets naked trying to hump the woman selling akara but some behaviors to me that are generally accepted are not normal. The funny thing is that we laugh about some of the behaviors too. LOL. Just like I am laughing now |

HA HA HA HA HA HA, THIS IS HILLLLLLARIOUS. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT I KNEW IT BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THIS BROAD GENERAL STATEMENT IS CONJECTURE AT ITS WORST. THE SO CALLED PSYCHIATRIST IS JUST THROWING OUT RANDOM NUMBERS AROUND. |
Re: 70% Of Nigerians Are Mentally Unstable - Psychiatrist by mamagee3(f): 6:40pm On Jul 09, 2010 |
That psychiatrist must be dead drunk. . . Saying that 70% of Nigerians are mentally insufficient is a daft talk. Probably, he should reserve his services for someone who really cares about the talk of a dummie. |
Re: 70% Of Nigerians Are Mentally Unstable - Psychiatrist by reindeer: 6:46pm On Jul 09, 2010 |
For real guys The stat may not be far from the truth! A mixture of poverty and frustrations makes for mental instability, and guess how many nigerians live below the poverty line? |

The research may have been conducted in Government Houses, National and State Assemblies. Doubtlessly, the occupants of the aforementioned places are dangerously greedy and insane. |

Re: 70% Of Nigerians Are Mentally Unstable - Psychiatrist by buzugee(m): 10:55pm On Jul 09, 2010 |
without a question of doubt this is a very anemic estimate. i am leaning more towards 90 percent. folks you have to remember that craziness is relative. you dont have to be outright crazy to be certified crazy. nigerians are a very peculiar bunch. they all have some kind of mental defect that either makes them extremely hot tempered ( our igbo brothers and hausa brothers should know about this one), extremely morally bankrupt ( fraud, embezzlement, armed robbery, police checkpoint robbery, immigration officer robbery, etc etc), extremely ostentatious (this is a mental defect too), extremely inconsiderate (this falls under sociopathic behavior and includes closing a whole street because they are havin a party), extremely arrogant (this is sociopathic behavior), easily bawled over by material goods (this is sociopathic behavior ). my point being over 99 percent of nigerians have sociopathic tendencies. this is a mental disorder |

Absurd statistic. How did the 'psychatrist' arrive at such a preposterous conclusion or did he test every single Nigerian to determine their sanity? |
