Mosetgg:
My response to the question about what I have learnt and benefited as a Nigerian from Nigeria.

I have learnt tribalism,

mentality of division,

religion intolerance,

struggles in it maximum quantity, even to withdraw my own money from the bank.

skills in manipulation from my beloved leaders,
lying tongues,

blind argument without facts,

holier than thou from Mr righteousness and his kinship.

Where I learnt the skills that a very poor "man of God" with no work can make himself a billionaire overnight by symbolizing himself as a giver of prosperity and creation of opportunities if a man who is working and toiling day and night can depart some of or all his money or property to bless the "man of God" so that more prosperity and opportunities can reach him while still hustling day and night on the street, but all glory and testimony would be returned to the "man of God" at the end of the day irrespective of the outcome.

"Thank you papa for your rigorous labour on me" is always their slogan.

Fear of uncertainty, e.g fear that power can go off at anytime while using it. Thank you Nigeria.

Hunger is like second nature here in Nigeria.

Lecturer that delight joy in failing students.

mentality of acquiring plenty properties as a means of validating one has wealth.

That education here is one means of stealing the most active and the most productive years away from the youth after years of struggling to gain admission only to be trapped in the unending contract of graduating. Thanks to lecturers and ASSU vs. FG.

Skills to survive with one meal in a day, 0-1-0 only Nigerian can fully relate.

That ladies get married expecting the man to provide all what her father and great great grandfather never dreamt of providing for their wives.

That police find zeal and passion to pursue and arrest yahoo boys for proper and equal share of the money.

I am learning that a leopard can change its spot, though I'm still learning that, after all General Buhari took off his military uniform and is now in agbada with perfect character to match as a Democratically elected President.

That to get peoples vote with their joy and happiness, just throw 200 naira in their way and leave them to pick it up, in that process of picking it up, they exchange their brain with bread.

That no one care whether you are a hero while alive, you can only become a "hero" while you are dead and that death most be brutal, brutish and nasty. Bola Ige comes to mind, Femi Kuti comes to mind, Awolowo comes to mind, Biafrans war casualties comes to mind, Odi community comes to mind etc.

And making hero out of you is to create another embezzling channels to fill their full stomach.
That there is a provision under the constitution of Nigeria that joyfully allows a one day marriage to be dissolved if any partner to it alleged the other of cheating, nagging, hatred, poverty, assault, molestation, adultery and not producing any children.

The word they use for it dissolving is that "the marriage has broken down irretrievably".

But the same country will refuse with full arms and political strategies to denial the break away of a forceful marriage imposed by a white man with extorting mentality not to break away after experiencing in all aspect 60 years of cheating, nagging, hatred, poverty, assault, molestation, adultery, death, corruption, nepotism, tribalism, fear, hunger, poor system of education and no visible evidence of producing any tangible innovation neither now nor in future.

My " country " Nigeria is the home like rivers flowing with milk and honey but only a few section with this milk and honey feed one larger section with no milk nor honey thereby denying the milk and honey section their growth, their wealth, their happiness, their confidence, the bright future of their youth, the full control of their giving resources.

This sections with milk and honey is now becoming malnourish, stressed, slow, mentally and physically exhausting.

Sections with milk and honey groan for freedom and liberty!!!

The petition of struggles that would see the dissolution of this forceful marriage of manipulation and death is drafted imminent.

Truly, as said by the number two person in the political ladder of Nigeria politics,

"There is cracks in the wall of Nigeria..."

but no matter how we try to manipulate the "rebuilding", the "rebuilding" would eventually lead to more cracks and terrible fall because you cannot use a super glue in place of a cement to hold a block of stone in building.

Neither have we any inheritance again in our own land,

To your tent O Biafra, to your tent O Oduduwa!

Yorubas are fools, Yorubas are sophisticated morons . Yorubas are slaves. Those are my 60 years birthday greetings to Nigeria.

In June 2018 when Mr Nnanna Ochereome called Yorubas Sophisticated Morons, I spent 3 days on Nairaland and other social media to fight him
because I thought it has not gotten to that level, but now, I tender my unreserved apology to him. I am very sorry sir, what you saw, I did not see
not until recently, unknown and Irrelevant people gather under YAF and YCE to display the characters associated with the names you gave to yorubas.

The Yorubas have become very irrelevant continually. The late Oba of Benin, out of disbelieve to the characters of the Yorubas rewrote the Benin History and said Oodua is a Benin Prince who committed an offence and ran to Ile Ife, this is contrary to centuries historical records.. We have various 2018, 2019 manipulated histories of Yoruba ancestry which called them Yoruba - son of slaves, we have the IBOs historical versions of Afonja - all these histories and names are borne out of frustration from Southern People who felt bitter being on the same geographical bloc with Yorubas. The South East and South people are very bitter with the Yorubas because of Nigeria.

60 years anniversary, Nigeria's Annual Budget is almost the same with University of California's Annual Budget. UCLA is not constructing roads or railway lines or providing Health care or Water resources or constructing gas pipelines, the University is not maintaining National Assembly budget, their budget is just for Education and Research, yet almost equal or at times more than Nigeria Budget.

We all know the solution to move forward.

Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

Nothing good to say.

My prayer this day is that, may God give those looting us dry problems money cannot solve.

Shout out to everyone toiling and pushing hard to earn a decent living. May God bless your hustle.

No matter the situation of my country (Nigeria) I'm still proud of her (Nigeria)

We should cultivate a habit of selflessness individually.
Every one is complaining about Nigeria being "bad", but what have you done to put a change to that? You can't continue to do the same thing overtime and expect a different result!
You complain about the wrong "person/group or people" being in power, how about you vote in the right person when the time comes!?
I like to be very optimistic and I have a feeling that Nigeria would be better if we decide to make a positive difference in our own individual way around our locality.
God bless Nigeria.
