Guys, let me derail a little bit. I haven't travelled a lot and it's actually my first time in Dubai and Abu dhabi, I love my country but I am so ashamed of it, it's not just the wonderful things here but the peace, a system that's innovative and works.

As in ehn, I am so pained.

From most of the replies here, you will all thus agree that nigeria is nothing but a geographical expression.

olodo, the UN is made up of nations all of which can be defined by any dullard as geographical expressions. Nigeria is a prominent member of the United Nations

If you can prove to me that you can watch a football match between Nigeria and Ghana and root for Ghana, then I may be willing to accept that you are not a Nigerian. Your copied post in of itself proves that you are a Nigerian, and by golly you'll always remain a Nigerian.

LOL. . .illogical brain MUST be so disappointed that 100% of every poster are POSITIVELY NIGERIAN despite that Nigeria is soooo far from perfect! No one even blinked at paying attention to the answer you were hoping for LWKMD! Okay, me I be Naija guy original, been and lived in the North, East, West, love my friends from everywhere and girlfriends? Yes, from the North (wish I had more), East (dey plenty die, in fact more than the average number), West (dem dey), and from the many beautiful tribes all around Nigeria. I can't list all of them and I LOVE YOU, yes I do! Insha Allah, I will be in Naija sometime and I can't wait to see y'all!
