Nigeria may just never get better again and this is actually not a case of spilling the 'hate beans' or spreading pessimism around, it is just about as true as it sounds. Even though a portion of the blame has to be extended to the people in power, a larger portion of it has to come to us, 'the governed.
Now this is the reality; From the people in power, to the elites, the middle class, the poor and the average individual, everyone just wants to take advantage of each other and this portrays the average Nigerian as selfish and greedy; how sad!

When something goes wrong in the country and it tends to affect a large chunk of the society, what you hear from sane people will make you doubt their sanity. Comments like ''So far it didn't affect me and my family, I am fine''; no empathy whatsoever.

An average Nigerian is not willing to follow due process, we enjoy cutting corners and always in a constant hurry to nowhere, it's appalling. From those that jump queues, to those that eat and trash stuff on the road, we forget that little repugnant gestures such as this go a long way.
Yes! we moan that the system is twisted, true! But those twists are from the government parastatals, the private companies, and sadly even our homes. There are people who take their time to clean inside their houses, pack the dirt inside a nylon bag and come to the major road to drop it. There are even people that eat groundnuts inside a car and toss it on the road; what can be worse than that?

Worse still, an average Nigerian wants to oppress another. You see them shouting about oppression, and the minute they have a chance, they start to oppress others. Even with the current ban in Lagos at the moment, people that have cars are insulting those that don't; they keep saying we should go and hustle so we can buy cars and complaining about the ban.

All we are saying is simple! Before you open your mouth to criticize the country, you should know that a country is made up of the people in it. Look at yourself as an individual, impact positively on your immediate environment and it starts getting better from there.

You're talking nonsense. Politicians hold power and when they're corrupt, the people will be corrupt. When they follow due process and are honest, the people will also follow same. That's how it works.

The problem is in the thinking... The way the black man thinks is just so poor...

I guess the citizens are!?

The only solution to nigerias problem, is inter-marriage.the day the north,south east,west and south south,will begin to marry one another,the problem facing nigeria will be 60% solved.check around you,its a very big offence for a core northerner to allow his daughter marry an iboman.
How many of you on this platform,that are from the east or niger delta,that have cousins from the north. None.
The north should be open and friendly to other tribes in nigeria,for what i know.the north is rigid when it comes to giving out their daughters hands in marriage to other tribes.unlike the other tribes,that are always willing and ready to marry a northerner.
