Why Don't We have Thanksgiving In Nigeria by Guest911: 7:25pm On Nov 27, 2019
Seeing how morally correct we claim to be as a society, why don't we have a national holiday where we appreciate ourselves Thanksgiving is about spending time with family members and friends and being thankful for the people and things in their life.

This would have been one way to spread positivity across this nation. undecided

Ask those Libyan slave returnees. Many spent 2 or 3 years as slaves in Libya, tortured by them daily. Nigeria sent planes to rescue them. When they reached Nigeria, many broke down and wept, and confessed they had no idea how much better Nigeria was, than the hell they had been through. Maybe one day you will get some sense. No place like home.
