There's a specific symptom called Anosognosia : it's a symptom where a person can't perceive Their own impairment , common in conditions like schizophrenia or several bipolar disorder which makes it complex for people with mental illness ( madness) has a lack of insight making it hard for them to see their condition as mental illness.
Along side psychosis and cognitive barriers like the disruption of self reflection or the ability to connect a behavioural pattern to the illness. If you have seen the movie Shutter island you would very much relate to this thread. But my question is , what if we were all mad and we have all failed to realise this due to a defensive mechanism our brain contructs to make us think that we are completely normal ?

I ask this cause why is Nigeria the way Nigeria is today ? Why are our political leaders or representatives treating us as such that we are mad or something ? I can't comprehend the state of confusion I'm in right now , I can't express it. The country is in shambles and the only pivotal thing we can do as citizens is do adapt. We've adapted to the point of no return.

Effective from January 2026 the tax master would start preparing to collect his taxes , and I want to ask what we are paying taxes for ? Cause last I checked , theres honestly nothing worth paying taxes for. There's heavy insecurity in the country , there's unemployment at a very large scale , people are finding it extremely hard to feed and all that man could think of is taxation ??

What's your take on this cause , honestly it seems like we Nigerians aren't as normal as we think.


Don't even get me started on the lies , the sagas , how the hell did snake swallow money ?? How ??
I understand that every country has her own odeals but the ones we are facing in Nigeria is beyond odeals , it's madness , complete madness.
My landlord just increased my rent to an 100 percent increment, I hardly stay at home sef I work with an NGO that enables me to travel round the country , I pay crazy bills too , to what end ??

Why does life have to be excruciatingly annoying like this in Nigeria ??

Feels like I'm already running mad or something. Then there's also the suffering mentality, which is so absurd , why does 24/7 power supply feels like luxury ?? Someone was telling me that we don't need 24/7 electricity cause it's luxury and I opened my mouth and exclaimed Ahhhhhhh !!!
I'm tired.

The same brain that blares alarms even via its emotion system whenever something is off or wrong? 🥱🥱🥱

2. Mass delusion of denial?

3. Nigeria has more to do with adopting negative behaviors and manipulative tactics than anything else. Wetin concerns the brain with anything?

I have very high taste and big dreams but some people think I’m being delusional- That’s the case with Nigeria. Basic things are seen as luxury. Electricity, good bottled water, a small car, a small bungalow- these are all little things that an average man should have at ease but if you have any of these or wish for any of these little things, then you’re not appreciative for ‘what you have’.
