Hi people,
Please assist me on this question :

'What does it takes to be a man in Nigeria?'

it takes serious DRIVE

2 B A MAN IS NOT A DAYS JOB.BE BRAVE,PATIENT,SOLVE PROBLEMS AND DON'T RUN FROM IT,GO OUT OF UR HOME,FACE OTHERS OUTSIDE.OBSERVE & GET A LESSON FROM ALL DAT HAPPENS IN UR LIFE.BE A MAN.LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES.

To be a man in Nigeria - are you kidding? Have you heard of occultism? Just kidding. But it is very hard. A man is a rich old boy.

Persistence & Doggedness

u can start by learning how to write in prper diction

well, a man is person that is ready to unleash the potential in him;a person that is directional; a person that must know how to get along with people;a person that is ready to take charge and control of his problems; person that sublimate his problems and must surrender his leadership and faith to God.
nevertheless, is a challenge to be a man.

[b]To be a man in Nigeria, you have to first come to terms with the fact that you're a Nigerian. Then with the terms that it is not Nigeria that is poor but Nigerians inside Nigeria. Poverty is a state of the mind. If you think rich, you will eventually become rich.

Come to terms that Nigeria, because of its poor minded people, is a third world, low GDP country and that holds a lot of opportunities. You can choose an area where you want to make impact and like other people have spoken, you can put in your energy there but make sure it's where you have extreme interest.

Dont argue with people, dont complain, dont think too much that you get repressed, but always think about little little positive results. Cultivate the habit of having success in every little thing you do and your whole life will be a success. When you want to eat, eat well. When you want to sleep, take time to sleep. When you want to play, take time to play. you'll see that this attitude will be transfered to everything else you do. This is my 2:1 student phenomenon. Ask them and they will tell you it's true. I'm not one, but i've learnt a lot from them.

To be a man in Nigeria, don't be average! look at Oluwaseun Osewa of nairaland. He's like those internet gurus they show to us on CNN. understudy him. He's rich from within to have brought us together.[/b]

, In my own opinion , to be a man in NIGERIA , just be yourself , and live your life , a man who as nothing to lose fears nothing ! , to be a GOOD MAN in Nigeria is a different ball game , I'm out .
