For Those Who Think America Is Eldorado. by Nobody: 10:04am On Aug 01, 2019
Many times I see Nigerians calling our country a poo hole just because a minor section of it's population were caught in a criminal offense.

These people say "in a sane country...", "In Canada this can't happen" or "in America this can't happen".

But the truth is crap happens in all those countries too. Unfortunately, most Nigerians don't read their local news and they don't relate with them on social media.
Rather, they believe what the movies feed them hook line and sinker.

Here's an example of an American that trolled my IG post with an advert for fake American drivers license. You see?

Now this doesn't make it right. My point is that there's no perfect community anywhere. Every country has its own peculiar challenges. The only difference is that, unlike us, they don't resort to crying, nagging and wailing on social media. Rather, they hustle till they overcome their challenges.

No country can eliminate forgery. And let me tell you this driver's license this person is advertising will never fool law enforcement, it's for getting into age-restricted environments(such as clubs) as proof of age or something along that line. You can never use it to drive because they do not rely on that physical card but everything is on the database. Now on the contrary in Nigeria, you can get an original driver's license that will fool ANYONE from official quarters whether you can drive or not as long as you can pay the price!! So please stop comparing. We have a long way to go but we will surely get there.

Corruption is the bane of Nigeria and Africa at large.
