gothrones: I find it interesting that so many men always complain about how picky and how unrealistic women's expectations of men are. You are doing exactly what so many men complain that women do to them. If you were in this guy's shoes, and the lady in question has your mentality, you would be here castigating all the women in the world.

I think I get it now. If we are ugly and broke, then women shouldn't judge us based on looks or wealth, but they should judge us based on our character. However, if any of our female relative is trying to get with a man who is broke or not so good looking, then they must be crazy.

Do unto as others as you would have them do unto you.

Afam4eva: Nigerians were not born lawless. The society makes them one and this society is a prerogative of the government and if the government fails to do their job then people will assume a mind of their own. Government should not blame anyone cos they out Nigerians in this mess and they should clean it up. Imagine trying to correct a decay that has become the norm and you think the people that have been affected psychology will stand up and clap for you.

larride: My dear, if someone is giving a little tip and he carrys out an henious act, if that person is caught, he will be dealt with, he has a choice to either accept or reject the offer, the moment he accept the full responsibility of what he does lays with him. Its as simple as that. Don't forget that these government ain't structures but they are people drawn out of us, they were once just like us the masses.

larride: So true. I have always said that the change we so much desire must start with us. Let's change our mindsets towards the society at large. Even our so called leaders are chosen among us. They will come distribute some little rice and other stuff to buy your vote instead of you voting for the best candidate for the job, when they start looting the treasury with reckless abandon we start to complain like those leaders falls from Pluto.

larride: We don't have to be remembered about the bad governance issue but there are some things that we do that also support the bad governance. The sole responsibility to move our life/family lays in our hand regardless of how bad the government is, what we make of the situation we find ourselves determine the kind of person we are. Sometimes we just take law into our hands and do all kind of atrocities and then we come blame the government for bad governance, we are as guilty as they are. If we are responsible to all our actions in our house and then later transfer it to our social life, then things can begin to change. Don't forget that these leaders were chosen among us, what they are displaying over there at the top is the mindset of an ordinary nigerian.

larride: That's it bro. Lastma official arrested my granddad some few months back because he packed on the road side which he shouldn't. After everything was settled out and he came home, he was busy cussing Gov Fashola and Lastma official and I told him that the blame lays solely with him. IF he hadn't packed on the road side, the lastma official won't have impound his car but he won't agree, he just keep blaming the govt. I told him point blank that his action leds to what happen but won't accept any responsibility for that.


Let's look at those criminals also i.e robbers, kidnappers, internet fraudsters, e.t.c once they are apprehended they will start giving excuses of no job, they are graduate, they have to keep body and soul together bla bla bla but they forget that there's always a choice. Whatever you do, you must be ready to face the consequence. No one can make a decision for (unless you are still a kid) so you must be responsible for whatever the decision brings forth.

Ishsoph: Its human nature quite alright but its more of 'country specific'. For example, certain societies/countries of the world hav core values they based their daily decisions on, and are willing to pay the price (ie take responsibility) of even mistakenly oversteping the bounds of these. In naija many wil knowing overstep these bounds and try to dodge the resultant penalty(responsibility), even complaining bitterly for having been forced to take resp. for their actions.

spikes C: We blame our government for most things. If person child fall for gutter, na government fault

spikes C: Politics is fun if discussed with matured minds.
Human relation can be biased. Nevertheless, human relations it is.



Topic: Why don't Nigerians be responsible for their actions, always playing the blame game.

spikes C: Maybe all


But, i still want an educative stuff. Maybe politics or human relations

spikes C: I think everyone will place an opinion based on religion. And i would not like a religious war this evening.
