Nigerians...
Self serving, individualist tendencies can't and won't develop our country, but then do they really care?
Say you can die for Nigeria and look to the faces of all within earshot and you'll realize how people really feel about their country.
The fact is we don't deserve steady power, running water, clean environment, security, and the good things of life as provided by the state. Shocked? How many people have worked towards it? How many people are willing to go the extra mile to ensure the existing infrastructures are in good shape let alone great shape? Who cares... Afterall it's not your father's property right?

Majority of Nigerians don't want change, they only like the idea of change and are too lazy, and weak willed to pursue it conclusively.
This is what I consider to be Buhari's greatest challenge (assuming he is really sincere with his agenda).

What can I say... I am disappointed. But I believe in Nigeria, I have never doubted that... But sincerely today, my faith in my countrymen has been terribly shaken.

What we need is a mental revolution... Regardless of how many countries we carve out of Nigeria, Nigeria is a structure run badly by its citizens, as long as that problem isn't tackled the same would happen there in.

OP can you sacrifice your life for your Nigeria?? The zoological republic of Nigeria is a fraud. Pls open another thread and ask how many people can sacrifice their lives for the British zoo called Nigeria. Keep hoping in your zoological republic of Nigeria. A hope that has lasted for 100yrs yet no improvement and you say you are different from baboons and monkeys??

When Nigeria is killing you daily with police, soldiers, marauding herds men, lack of water, lack of electricity and every other evil man has never thought of and someone will claim he/she loves Nigeria. Thats why evil reigns supreme in the zoological republic cause they love the entity of evil.

Hmmm Can I die for Nigeria? With the motivation, all humans can do anything. So if Nigerian lives are to be saved by my action I think I could.

Nigeria is a fraud? Because it was created by the British? State creation occurs via different means, simply because Nigeria was created as a result of Colonial influence does not make it fraudulent. Would you think same if the Benin empire had thrived and conquered what is now Nigeria? Would you call it legitimate or fraudulent? If yes, then you may as well call most countries of the world fraudulent. Wasn't it how Ghana, South Africa, Kenya and others were created (purposely using African examples)? Why are they not complaining as we are?
The fact is Nigerians are lazy... Not trying to be offensive but we are particularly when it comes to being nationalistic.
We are ever so quick to wine and complain, and when someone rises to do something about it he/she is termed "over sabi".

Tell me, what problems are you facing in your LGA and I'll shock with mine. I don't blamep Nigeria for my LGA's problems, I blame my LGA inhabitants and the leaders they elected, or selected.

We usually conveniently forget we have Local Government, State Government, Senators, House of Representatives members, who are responsible for developing our communities but NO, WE DON'T SEE THEIR FAILURES... INSTEAD WE BLAME IT ON NIGERIA.

The same local and state leaders who consistently plunder our resources somehow convince us that the problem is Nigeria and we believe... And some other wise people say when we break apart all this problems will fade away... SMH. This is reality not fairy tale. Is it the same corrupt leaders who failed years after years that would suddenly get it right? Or they'll step aside and let New leaders rule? If so why don't those new leaders rule now?

State building is not easy, it takes a long time and not all countries have survived it. If we break apart under every challenge we face then the new country you fantasize about would end up being no bigger than a local government area.

My ethnic group my never present a presidential candidate in Nigeria let alone win (if ethnicity was a yard stick) but I believe in the greater good.

I end with this, take a good look at q the government officials around you and ask yourself... WHY AREN'T THEY POOR OR UNDERGOING HARDSHIP IS THIS NIGERIA THAT IS BAD? And compare the economic hardship around Nigeria and tell me who the poorest are and why? We need to unite and hold our leaders accountable while remaining resolute in our struggle for better life. We must realize that our struggle isn't so different you want a country with security, freedom, prosperity, etc. And I want a Nigeria with same characters.

I hope you understand my view.
