If you are doing the right things because you are afraid of being punished then you are not disciplined at all. Where is your conscience? We are all so religiou, where is the effect of your religion? We need to reexamine our value system. If we continue like this, I am afraid we are going no where.

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MODIFIED:
To those asking me if the guy ever returned his phone.
When the guy was done, he called the man and he left us in his shop to wait for him by the road side.
I would not have narrated the story if I didn't know how it ended.

I am sure at one point in time we have all met at least one good and honest Nigerian.

Reading through people's comments and some of my mentions makes it look like I am the only Nigerian on this forum. Ask yourself what would you have done if you were the Zimbabwean, it is that simple. If you are not sure, then na your body the mess dey smell.

I can boldly say this, If I were the the Zimbabwean in the OP's story I would not have done it differently.

What you said is very very correct. If the motivation for doing what is right is fear of punishment, not much can be achieved.
But my dear, the stage Nigeria has gotten to right now is such that even the good ones want to see at least a quantum of justice done. Our kind of corruption is so brazen such that if it is said in saner climes it would be very difficult to believe. Because the syndrome has cut across all lines, syndicated kind of corruption has easily become the norm. It is as bad as that right now. Hence the institutions would need to be strenghtened to let people know that there are consequences for fraudulent acts.

Leave government alone and let us play our own role . Let us try it and see if the change we are clamouring for will not come.

euromilion:
Bros I’m sorry but in every society there’s good and bad people,vast majority of the crime in South Africa are committed by Zimbabweans and it’s mostly car thefts and house burglaries.

So please spare me those epistles.

duro4chang:
I understand everything you said. But let us continue to do the right things. If you and I begin to do the right things I hope things will begin to change and if not it will be on record.

Investnow2017:

Of course. I for one owe my obligation to my God and my fellow men. I appreciate your perspective and share same. Peace

You turned a blind eye to a situation you’re supposed to make things right because it doesn’t affect you directly and you’re here complaining of the Nigerian mentality. You’re a hypocrite my man

seunny4lif:
It can never happen in West or East Nigeria.
Northern Nigeria shops are mostly not locked and yet those guys don’t rob the shops.


I used to work at the MMA and I discovered our mentality has a Nigerians is to steal and blame it on devil or government if caught.

Senegalese police will inform you to come to station yourself.
If I report someone to the police
They will give me a letter to give the person
Once the person collects the letter from me then the person must appear in the station
Failure not to appear can land you 3 weeks in prison without even looking at your case.

Many Nigerians have ended in Senegalese jails for useless crime and many so called big boy Nigerians have slapped or beaten up Senegalese police thinking they are dealing with Nigeria police officers.
They will not even look at their cases even through many were innocent but sentence to over 10 years in prison.

Is the white man trust worthy ? ...is the Chinese trust worthy? Russians ? ...u need a bit of aggressiveness to grow really ...most Africans lack this except maybe igbos

The rules is meant to keep the weak man down ...there is no rule in this world ...it's a dog eat dog world

No country achieved growth without doing something bad .. except the few small country with large resources ...it's a matter of time they would soon drop too
