You are spot on. I have seen the decay. … the mental decay. Absolute lack of self discipline and civil duty. It is always me me me me!


How do you explain a full grown adult peeing on the main road, or hiding behind an electric pole to defecate?

How do you explain a lady wearing a full-on body hug on a Monday morning. These are some of the things you see and wonder. How did we get here?

PrinceOogaBooga:
5 SIGNS NIGERIA HAS DAMAGED YOUR mindset (A WAKE UP CALL)

The average Nigerian is intelligent but suffers very subtle mental issues, here are 5 proofs.


1)You go to Church or mosque to pray to God to solve the Problems a working government should provide.




Nothing makes Prayer Warriors like a bad Economy and a Government that fails to provide amenities that are seen as basic necessities in other parts of the world.
The church is not primarily created to meet your needs ..that's one of the mind damage that Nigeria has done to you.

If God should give us a good government over half the christians in Nigeria will have no use for God.


A lack of Amenities, like electricity, road transports, livable neighborhoods, food and water provision
Are not Hallmarks of good governance
.
They are not the peak of God’s love, so you don't have to die praying and fasting for them

They are not the product of Hardwork, so it's not a function of your squalor and labour.
But the average Nigerian believes otherwise.

That is why unlike every working country where these are seen as basic necessities.
The average Nigerian thinks he is only entitled to this, if he prays and fast and pays tithes to God like a good christian or Muslim.

Or if he cheats his way through work and bribes the most people or hustles the most.

What this does is that,

It removes accountability from the politicians and puts it on us or God.

You may argue that Nigerians demand their government to do better.
Yes they do, but not enough because they don't Expect them to actually do better

And why do they not expect, because of this mental damage I am talking about.

We subconsciously do not expect them to improve for a plethora of psychological reasons
And this is the difference between Nigerians and other countries where their citizens are not mentally shackled.



2)No Real Outrage

Nigerians are not shocked by anything.
There can be Power outages for a whole year, 40 Children kidnapped across all states, and a whole village can be wiped out.

And all Nigerians will do is post, shout, rant and make skits.

And this is not external, it's not like they are not doing anything because they physically can't, who can fight the government? That's what they say.

No, it's not just about the actual physical powerlessness, it's the mental cage of adaptation to suffering that psychological damages our ability to be outraged by injustice..

In contracts
You see the outrage in US and European Citizens over ordinary social changes?
Because they are shocked that elected leaders fail to do the needful.

Imagine the outrage that would rock the developed world if electricity suddenly became unstable, if schools went on strike, if they now had to pray to God to release hundreds of school children from the den of kidnappers.
It's not about the country , it's the people

We are mentally handicapped to even be outraged enough
And until those shackles are broken
No new election

No new candidate
No protest
No party
No tragedy, no New kidnapping across all secondary schools, no New Herdsmen attack
No Boko Haram bombing
No new News of looting and stealing and corruption
Will Force the Nigerian to break out of his mental shackle he will adapt
And continue like that enslaved fish, a worthy bondservant of his liquid cage.

3)Complain has become your coping mechanism

The African complains a lot and immediately goes back into fields of slave labour…instead of taking action, he cries and continues his wallowing.

The average Nigerian believes in complaining like his life depends on it.

When they see those who actually take action, they are shocked …that's why everyone is still waiting for the government to deal with the bandit Fulani insurgent…
Folding their hands till they are wiped off the face of the earth, waiting for “Government to handle security issues”

Once they see who actually fights back they are shocked and bewildered..some will shamelessly ask “why jungle Justice”?

Because the average Nigerian is a coward and an expert in complaining..why because that's his coping mechanism


4) You Don't Know how to exist in a system without Corruption.

Churches are filled every Sundays
Mosque are filled every fridays
Nigerians are very religious
But lack the Knowledge to exist in an incorrupt system.

How can a Nigerian survive in a system where you can't pay money to someone to “Run it for you”(whatever the context may be)

How can you just exist where they can't “work it” where you can't settle someone to settle another someone..

This is not a moral write up, it's purely idealogical…

Why Nigerians are like this is because this is the only system we have ever known.


Nigerians can never be saved until they realize that their problem is more internal than external.
Lack of electricity, insecure travel routes, the increasing uselessness of the naira and the unsure future of the economy isn't our main problem.
The reason why year in year out we continue to wallow around the issue of good governance with no end in sight is because we have been conditioned into abnormality.
And if existence in abnormality is all we have ever known, that remains our natural habitat.

We can complain all day, but if we lack how to function in a normal society we will never find a way out of that situation.

It's like a fish wishing for fresh air,
No, all you know is the river and the seas.
Fresh air may look nice, but your desire for it doesn't in any way mean that you know how to survive there.

In other words, like a fish we don't even know how to survive outside our natural ecosystem.

An average Nigerian has been mentally incapacitated and it's made worse because he doesn't know it.

The masters of our pain understand this and they have used it to consolidate and isolate power.

5) You are insensitive to Children

You may think this isn't mental damage, but it actually is, the average Nigerian had such a corrupt and abusive childhood that he has become insensitive to kids

In working society's, child marriage, child labour, child physical abuse aren't issue to rant about online, or make post or create online outrage while the problem continues.

These are issues people RISE and Ensures it is put to a stop
But aside from rejecting it from your family and friends in Jesus name, the average Nigerian doesn't care.

the begging almajiri on the street, or that small boy following a blind man about when he should be in school, invokes nothing but a slight discomfort in you .


Mental Illness…that we must remedy with knowledge

There is a solution and I and my Generation will soon share it, it's a matter of time

A side Note(on God’s Plan for Nigeria)
Also a mental damaging of expecting God to send angels to save Nigeria, when it comes to economic turnaround, that has never happened and we never happen, we are the ones who need a mindshift.


Nigeria isn't the center of Gods agender..God is after souls,
And souls are everywhere, if a nation continues to mismanage resources it will remain poor and God will still be God.

God In the US, God in China and God in Nigeria.
If we don't follow the steps to nation building we will be poor and God will still get his souls one way or the other.

They are not responsible for focusing on the listed fundamentals. They are not your government and can not do any in your list. The sambisa is a housing nest for terrorists. Clearing it will benefit your country more perhaps than leaving it intact for the purpose of your imaginary resources

I’m lost here. Who are the “they”? You mean the investors or bandits?

BlackViper:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/12/china-christians-xi-jinping-asia-churches-communist-party/

This is bollocks! Always the western media trying to paint a negative picture of China.
In China you are not restricted to worship your God but you must do it at a government approved centers. THEY DO NOT WANT RELIGIOUS RADICALISM. They do not our style of Men of god… who wants to influence the society negatively and they become Semi-god..Telling you, god said!!

Look at the Nigeria society, people would rather pray for miracle than go for a short course to learn skills. Now we get skilled labor from Togo, Ghana, Benin etc because we have spent our years praying for miracle. The churches would rather have you stay in church from Sunday to Sunday. offering your kobo every hour. Here in we are just religious.. we live with both gods on our two hands. An average Nigerian will cheat you and do thanksgiving on subday.

Have unregulated religion brought about a good society in Nigeria? Check Nigerians in other countries.. we behave badly…. Dubai. Muscat, Cambodia. Italy, Malabo etc

AngeloX:
What has the resources done for you?

Forest resource helps in a lot of ways:
Climate control
Stopping desertification
Wildlife conservation

Converting Sambisa to another “concrete” jungle does not solve the problem. You can NOT turn the vast savannah plains STRETCHING FROM Nigeria to other countries into an estate… impossible!

Focus on the fundamentals:
- uncontrolled Birth rate in the north
-high number of unemployed youths
- lack of education
- law and order problems
-radicalization of youths
- unmanaged / ungoverned territories
-lack of cooperation with neighboring countries

lovetterrison:
I dei telll u.. she just want to use there to save up for one or two years and move

There is no money to be made in that useless country. Don’t waste your time. Many na ashawo work with those Bangladesh, paki laborers… gosh! Omo.. these girls dey try

lovetterrison:
Thank u bro … she’s learning to be a barista too

Forget oman… na ashawo them dey do. No waste your time for that country wey no get future

Baxilexi:
I’d say let’s wait and see if indeed this crop of IRGC leaders get the money.

Also, if the money will empower a moderate group with more pro-western values then I subscribe to it. After all Qatari funds spread pro-Palestine/sharia ideologies across American universities so if there’s a similar strategy then yes.

Why must they have pro western values? What happened to Iranian values? Why can’t a nation have her own values and not look towards the west for values?

Look at what western values have done to us? We are encouraged to save our wealth in their countries, build our dreams in their countries, so we end up with a generation of Nigerians and leadership who have absolutely no value for Nigerian values.

We are encourage to be lesbians/homos, chastised if we defend our values. Sex annd hook up is a fad… no longer ann abomination. Nothing wrong with baby mama annd baby papa. Our women go around with fake hairs gotten from India and Bangladesh… and we call it Brazilian and proud of it.

What is wrong with a nation holding onto her good values and shunning those values from outside that corrode us?!

TemplarLandry:
A house that's divided against itself.

This is interesting.
Let's see how it goes.

There is no division in that house. The movement is Kanu… and Kanu is the movement. All others are just appendages that lack relevance in the movement, and nonentities without Kanu.

marlow1962:
Welcome to Nigeria, where the rich and the common man is trying to game the common/poor man.

Sometimes, it is a weird phenomenon. My estate President who complained so much about the activities of previous estate presidents for corruption secretly signed a deal worth millions with MTN to roll out fibre optic cables around the estate without the EXCO nor the residents aware of the deal.

This is typically the Nigerian Malaise. Those who shout and complain are also bidding their time to get the chance to do the same.

No hope unless we get a radical change of mind and customs

AllLovingGod:
Lol! I wonder what you're jubilating about! Unless you have comprehension or retention issues!!

It's obvious that, The Trump administration/ American people won las las!

Trump has always made it clear that his major take is that, "he would never allow Iran have a nuclear weapon". And las las, Iran has submitted.

At the bolded is paragraph 8 of the memo:

8 — The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in paragraph seven, with the minimum methodology to be down blended on site under the supervision of the IAEA. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear needs, based on a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal. The final deal will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran acknowledge the critical importance of the nuclear issues above mentioned. They express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.


So it's mission accomplished for the Trump administration and the American people. And I'm happy.

Offering Iran $300 billion is just to give them a path on the shoulder! Lol!

God always win.
I'm happy that, it's mission accomplished for the Trump administration and the American people.
We moved...

. What God wins? How’s does GOD win? Do you know GOD? Do you know what is considered a WIN to GOD? GOD is far more complex than how your MOGs describe ? Far beyond mere mortal understanding.

FreeStuffsNG:
6 — The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.
O pari.



Pride goeth before disgrace.

The word and curse of the matryed Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Trump came to pass. Smh.

Americans will pay through their nose yet Iran has vowed that it will not forgive or forget.

America is not agreement capable. This agreement is just an exit strategy for America since the original mission failed.

-America will not pay
-The gulf countries will pay up to keep the peace
-Iran will charge for access to the Persian gulf
- Iran May give up the acknowledged nuclear dust but will maintain nuclear knowledge and nuclear reactors.

- Alternate sanctions will hinder Iranian oil sale.
-Israel will continue to hit Lebanon be it on a low tempo.
- the next American government might reverse MOU

What do you mean by MIGRANTS.
They tell you Nigeria has too many jobs and few takers.

Every serious country in the world is clamping down on illegal migration particularly from nations at war, failed economies and fundamentalist peoples and you see no reason to protect your country that cannot cater for its own indigenous population and is racked by violent crime.

What kind of citizen are you.
Okay, these ones arrested are apparently being paid with MILLIONS in their accounts and violence in their documented history. and still you cannot put one and one together.

Can you enter into any other country with unproven millons in your account and firearm photoshoots in your album...

Bro.. how much skilled population do you think Nigeria has? A lot of the mason and fitters are coming from Togo and Cotonou. Have a university eduction does not equal skill. Let me burst your bubble. Your country Nigeria has a large pool of unskilled labor force. not only unskilled.. highly undisciplined and dishonest labor force; even the managerial cadres can be trusted. That’s why folks like Dangote and other rely a lot on Asians to do the job.

If these migrants are from west Africa, then they have every right and freedom to move around within west African without a visa.

Reference:
Let them prove their citizenship or show their passports and visas. It is a crime in any other country to enter illegally except Nigeria.

By the way, what is your own interest. Are you importing them..

Hmmm… you were alluding that they are criminals. Requesting visa and passport is an afterthought. It is obvious you were stereotyping these people.

Visa and passport? They could be west Africans or indeed Nigerians. They don’t need to go about Nigeria with Visa or passport

Agugbadin:
Neutralise them all please.

What is their crime?

iwadobo:
Exactly my belief. Those things are monsters that must be eliminated from the earth

Stop this promotion of hatred towards migrants who may just be here for paid labor.
If you have evidence of their crime, then report to police. We don’t need a reckless, unfounded attacks against migrants because of their ethnicity.

millhouse:
they have nothing good to offer here .

I they could just be labor migrants

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
The devil thinks he is winning. The church will neither retreat nor surrender.

Why blame the devil? Why not decades of stupid, self -centered policies that made millions of Nigerians uneducated and poor. What have the leaders achieved since independence from colonial rule? After 60 years of self rule we still can attain national literacy. What good is democracy if the people are uneducated and poor?

TheStoriesOfMan:
Wrong. If i had left never abruptly, they will do the same to another of my colour. Sometimes it is good to make a statement to remind people of the consequences of racial discrimination rather than sheepishly walking away.

My action will remind them that they should treat anybody, either white or black with respect and dignity. I warned the manager that condoning racism especially in a foreign land leads to serious backlash. You can't go to Indonesia, open a restaurant only to start racially abusing them. That's a slight and it may lead to breakdown of low.

This behaviour only enforces the stereotypes, not solve the situation.

Well… I guess trying to prove a point with a bang on the table on the social level doesn’t always win us friends, it may on the political /media level. It does reinforce the stereotype of violence.

I haves learned to adopt the Chinese/Asia style.. keep to my own.. go where I am accepted… keep away where I may get stereotyped. And I think this style has worked well for Asians in American and Europe… even in Middle East.

TheStoriesOfMan:
They wanted to try it na. I threatened them that police be my brother and them go side me. I was ready to rain fire and brimstone that day.

Why didn’t you leave the restaurant and never return to it rather than call your “goons” and create a scene?

Don’t you think with your action, you have reinforced the stereotype?

Kelklein:
The Establishment is going after VDM

The have conquered the people economically and security-wise, next is to silence any other voice who dares to descent. They will be oppressed and incarcerated but i trust VDM to beat them to their game

Now the script would be -
*make or create AI video or chopped video of VDM releasing an audio clip of the President in that video (the audio clip was also created - it's not real. The President won't sound that petty the way made him sound in that video)
*Presidential spokesman then calls for VDM to answer to releasing the clip. (How did you even tie him to owning and releasing the clip because it wasn't anywhere near his page)
*twitter mob who are tribalists, political jingoists and paid propagandists help to spread the call for arrest of VDM..
*The Security and Intelligence communities receives a formal petition and a court order to arrest him as he touches down - remember these ones have no mind of their own, to do a simple due diligence and see that these are stvpid propaganda..
*The whole scheme is to have him defending what he knows nothing about, for months and keeping him busy and away from public space as the run-up to the elections reach campaign stage..

It's all a grand plan.

But then VDM can beat them to their game. They have no evidence linking the video to his page. Infact the concocted video has nothing to do with him but they are ready to make him face all these and later pay damages for deliberate wrong Incarceration. VDM's biggest asset would be the social media which he himself can use to find out the root of the video ahead of them..

And like someone suggested, sue the spokesperson that called him out, for defamation of character and assigning to him what he knew nothing about.

Bro.. one thing you must let VDM understand is that Activism without sense is pure thuggery! And it is very costly.

If he wants to fight at the government level, he must with sone level of eloquence and wisdom… not thuggery .

Well,trust anything that comes out of the mouth of a Nigerian banny at your own riisk. Even if you are eager to trust anyone at all,try as much as possible to add small seasoning to it

What makes that dude an ambassador of Nigerians? Does he cut a good image? How does such look so well or sound so well to represent Nigerians?

Depends on the type of security layers he added to the OPay account. Like biometric verifications , those two steps security layers is very important.

With remote access… those verifications are not available. They used the dodge app he downloaded to screen record his activities. With those data they remotely accessed the opay app on his phone with the same login details, and accessed his funds… no brainer!

sirblend:
Honestly your story illustrate how weak OPAY security system is.

I always have issues with Palmpay, there is unwanted an app "palmstore" that displays at the top of my phone screen. If I click the app by mistake it takes me straight to the sign in section of my PALMPAY app, therefore I hardly save money in my PALMPAY account.

How? He downloaded an app that gave the guys remote access, and touch screen or keypad entries. How is it Opay’s fault?

Personally I think before one start using the gym they should start doing small exercises like jogging, push ups.. Just start with any exercise that does not involve carrying or push any heavy object..

Well.. cardiac issues can occur at any stage even while asleep. Watch your diet and reduce starch, salt intake, reduce exposure to air pollution ( fumes) . So much to do to live a healthy life

Omo before you gym chop well and after too then check your body condition as well no be everything be motivation to gym be motivated to check yourself first.

What is chop well? What is check your body?
How does chopwell before gym prevent sudden cardiac arrest? How does chopwell before gym Undo blockage that has built up with time?


How do you know your health condition without regular / yearly medical checks.

We are terrible people in this country!

Your country has a high birth rate.
And your education system churns out a lot of sophomoric lads who are unemployable, beside meaningful employment is scarce in your country. So the result is a lot of unemployed, high on testosterone young lads with an internet enabled phone seeking a payout online. Sad!

This is a clear case of Inferiority Complex.

WHY SHOULD NIGERIAN POLITICS COPY JAPAN?

Do you people even KNOW that we practice the US Presidential system?

Is there anything QUIET about the US Presidential system?

Have you ever seen American campaigns and rallies?

When an American visits Japan and sees their "quiet" politics, he simply shrugs and moves on, saying "to each his own".

But a Nigerian goes there and sees it, and immediately inferiority complex enters her head.

She goes on social media to start trashing her own country and saying "see how angelic these people are unlike we devils".

EMANCIPATE YOURSELVES FROM INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

That's your biggest problem as Nigerians.

You go to school to copy knowledge.
All your stay in university, you are we’re copying and trying to understand a proven workable system.

The American system you quoted does not work well here… and it may never work.

Why can’t we copy another system, or develop an indigenous system suitable to us?

With our current system, we may never see development of Nigeri.
