Pls Help, Remind Me Of The Good Things About Nigeria by JomoGbomo2(m): 11:06pm On Jun 06, 2011 |
I am to give a presentation (topic: Good things about Nigeria) to some folks here in the UK about Nigeria and after writing down weather as my no.1 I just can't figure out anything else. No Nigerian is among my audience but couple of them have worked in Lagos, ph and warri infact on of them gave a presentation about the bad of Nigeria. They are all aware of all the emails scams, corruption, kidnapping, religious/ethnic wahalas, infect the last presentation on Nigeria was on dead bodies on the street on port harcourt. So I am kind of short of ideas on what to preach to these guys. Expecting your suggestions, thanks |

depends on who your audience are. e.g. investors,tourists,students,artistes,pilgrims etc have different interests and your pitch should reflect that the nigerian people are probably the best thing about nigeria. of course we have more than a fair share of scoundrels but since you MUST be positive talk about energy,determination and the will to beat out peculiar set of odds. we never give up . |

i am not sure i will brag about dangote.his achievement are great and unprecedented but they are personal. i don't see russians boasting about ramonu ibrahim i am more interested in the collective achievements of ordinary nigerians. that is what makes countries great. their teachers,police,doctors,nurses ,engineers community groups etc how do they respond in times of disaster |

buzugee: ^^^@ bolded: i thought his Dad was Ghanaian? @ topic: LOL , funny you're racking your brain trying to come up with positives about Nigeria. I'll give you a tip: try approaching the task from an ethnic point of view, and you're certain to make a surprising/fast headway. Alternatively, ask the tribal champions on Nairaland to help you out, and where you see 'Igbo; Yoruba; Hausa/Fulani; etc', just substitute Nigeria for any of them. |

We are a resilient people, as shown through our history. Despite all the problems we have faced and our differences, we still believe things will get better and are still together as ONE nation. We are a happy people, from the hawkers dodging traffic in the streets of Lagos to our politicians, you do not hear of suicides when compared to the western world. We also value family, and so are often never ‘alone’ and devoid of human contact. Hope this helps |

chamber2: Best post of this thread so far, As much as we don't like OBJ in Nigeria, i guess the international community regard him as one of the most successful and accomplished politician in Africa who return Nigeria to a democratic state (the same accolade given to Mandela), that might score/make you loose some point (so think about it before you write it)lol Use it at your own risk |
