Yeah
Lets all pretend what individuals do does not affect generally the culture and mindset of a people.

We are all free to do what we want. Our lives, our choices.

But our choices have communal effect. We are shaping the mindset of the human race.
What we refuse to break now will be a struggle for the next generation.

Things like kneeling to propose, bride-price, religion of all kind racial divides and political enmity.

The guy said the bitter truth. If you are privileged to assess the safety of our Nigerian industries, the outcome will shock you. Accidents are occurring almost daily, injuring & claiming the lives of workers due to poor safety measures, and you are here arguing. Pls don't argue, investigate and come back with your findings here.

Dude was not arguing; he was stating facts.
Nigerians have very low self-esteem, coupled with an unhealthy dose of misplaced confidence.
We are so quick to condemn and ridicule Nigeria. We seem to find some sick pleasure in condemning ourselves as a country, especially when the people in power are not of our ethnicities.
It is so bad that I once saw a South African woman challenging some Nigerians, wondering why we always love to condemn Nigeria online.
We are de-marketing Nigeria too much.

Granted, you are actually right o; we are so careless and have terrible maintenance culture, but
Imagine if those weekly air crashes in the USA in the past year were happening in Nigeria.
Imagine if the weekly shootings in the USA were happening in Nigeria.

He didn't say the country he booked it in... That would have made some sense of this setting. Cultural wise.

All we know is that he is Nigerian man booking an hotel online.... But where?

He actually mentioned the place: BERLIN!

I personally think this is genius. It looks luxurious to me.

One thing I find funny with religious people is that: they see the devil in everything.
It seems they are the ones creating the devil itself in whatever image they fancy.

Even the bible says Idols themselves are powerless and useless. But the typical 21st Century
religious man wants to bring in the devil into the conversation.

These people seem even more obsessed with the devil than with god.

I think, by now, most people should already realize that Northerners are the ones everyone else loves to hate.

And the truth is that there is no basis or justification for that hate.

When it comes to food though, people, Nigerians even more so, always associate "expensive" with higher quality.
Northern restaurants and eateries are generally cheaper; and that's generally because the Northern people
are not always out to milk anybody of their money.

The people from the south ALWAYS see that both as a sign that the food is of low quality and that the Northern people are not smart,
especially considering the fact that they generally despise people from the north.

It is made worse by the fact that the Northern people are not as loud and showy (or superficial) as their southern counterparts.
For me though, I am from the middle belt, but I will rather eat any Northern food, whatever it is, than most foods from the south.
I only enjoy any southern food when it is prepared at home.

Let Him fix Karji-Narayi-Barnawa road and Jan-Ruwa-U/Barau road first.

Its true that I do not know you apart from what you have told us about yourself, but I really can not agree with you that you are not at least serious with your life!

A serious person would have been welding or and making music while studying all these years, but you sound like you were deferring and carrying over while getting nowhere, and now you want to go do jamb and start another 10 years? Who has been feeding you all this time, I wonder!

My advice is that you concentrate on finishing your studies so you don't end up wasting the ten years you already spent. And go do some welding while you are at it. And stop being lazy!

I feed myself and pay my own bills, Thanks! I really wish I am interested in going back there again. Already made way too many sacrifices for it. I wrote and sold many songs, but I will rather go back to school than go fully into music. I have saved just above half a mil so far. Thanks for the advice!

Hello! I created this account two days ago so I can post this.
I got admitted 2012 into one of the universities of technology in Nigeria to study Engineering. I was supposed to graduate 5yrs later, but I never did due to different reasons (health, financial and my own carelessness). I deferred a session twice and carried over some courses too. And now in my final year I just discovered I can't even graduate this year either, after waiting for months in school during this lockdown doing home lessons and cleaning services. And my grades are not encouraging. Anybody who knows me knows that I am neither a dull nor lazy student. Right now, I am thinking of writing JAMB this year. But I am 30yrs old now and I feel a little too old. I have saved enough to see myself through, at least, two years in any public university in Nigeria; hoping to get a scholarship along the way. I can't stay in this place, I am planning to go up North. The skills I have are welding and music. I will appreciate any advice I can get here.
