Racism
Nigerians are naturally racist. Yes I said so. I was at Ikoyi some few weeks back and a chinese man stopped by the road side to buy corn. The corn seller was like ''chinko wetin you wan buy''. Similarly, I was at maitama also and I boarded a taxi with an asian man. The Nigerian sitting next to him was like ''ching chong cho''. Looking confused, the asian guy replied him in english what he meant and the Nigerian said ''I just wan tell you sey make you shift for me''.

Electricity
If not that things are a bit getting better in Buharis' administration, Nigeria is one of those few countries in the world where you can get electricity for just five minuites and you'll be satisfied that at least ''NEPA'' brought light today.

Education
One thing I like Nigeria for is that they value education a lot. They even go ahead to say education is the best legacy . But remember, 70% of the most successful people in the world today don't even have a degree to their name.

Inferiority complex
If you want to be treated like a God, change your skin color to white and travel all the way to Nigeria. They'll treat you like royalty there.

Nollywood
The Nigerian film industry is highly prolific. They produce more than 200 movies a week. Thats even more than hollywood.

Football
Nigerians love football alot. They watch the game and they play the game. Little wonder I saw an owner of a viewing center buying a SUV. Well at least when I asked him how he managed to do so, he told me it was from his hard earned money. As per playing the game, you don't need a field or a goal post to play football in Nigeria. All you need is the round leather ball, a surface you can run on so far its not water and anything can make up for the goal post be it slippers, tyres or rocks. Not to mention the no rules policy, don't even try playing the ball just an inch above ground level, its not gonna count. Never try to annoy the owner of the ball coz its game over and everybody will go back to their respective homes.

Injustice
In Nigeria, once you are rich and you have a high status in the society, you can get away with anything yes and I said anything, even murder.

Religion
Nigeria to me is the most religious nation in the world after Jamaica

Giving birth
I've always wondered why 'naming ceremony' is always done 7 days after birth. Does it mean the child is nameless within those 7 days?

Discipline
Nigerian parents are known to have a high level of discipline which they try to embed on their children. I was at a friends house one day and this man threatened to 'stone' his son in the eye with the 'eba' he was eating. Not to mention mothers beating their kids with this

Universities
Despite the country having a very poor academic system, I still wonder why their lecturers are being treated like a semi God. I was at one of their universities one day and a lecturer told a guy far older than him to carry his bags for him into his car. Their students fear these set of people alot and I keep wondering why.

Jealousy
Should I call it jealousy or what but if you are a young Nigerian and you became suddenly rich, they tag you as a 'yahoo boy'. If you are much older and you are rich they say you did 'blood money'.

NYSC
There is a scheme they call NYSC. Someone once boasted to me that he was very excited going to the camp because he was sure he was going to have s*ex for the first time. They see this as an avenue to explore and enjoy.

Beautiful People
Just like the lyrics of that chris brown's song said, everywhere I've been to in Nigeria, I saw beautiful people. they have a very vibrant youth life too.

Intelligence
Nigerians are very intelligent and smart too. They'll always find a way to cheat you no matter how you try to resist. Just be smart

Piracy
Nigerians unarguably have the highest piracy rates in the world. I watched a world cup final between germany and argentina some months ago and when I woke up the following morning, I saw the CDs' of that match being sold around in shops. How they managed to do still baffles me till date.

Humor
No doubt, Nigerians are the funniest set of people in the world. Their 'pidgen' language just puts the icing on the cake

Human Rights
Despite the positives, the country has a very poor human right recordf mainly from their military. Some military escort stopped me on the highway oneday and asked me why I refused to park my car and 'clear the road' while they were approached. He even threatened to spray my vehicle with bullets if i dare argue with him. Looking at his uniform, this dude was just a private in the military if not a recruit.

Alcohol
Nigeria has one of the highest alcohol consumption rates in the world and the numerous beer palours aren't helping matters at all.

Prostitution
Having s*ex cools the mind of an average Nigerian. at least that was what a friend once told me. Brothels allow men to have sex for as low as 1000 naira. Where I lived, it was as low as 500 naira. The place was called seven up. wonder whether it still exists till date.

Chest beating
One of the great Fela's song once said ' shakara oloje' which is very true. Its only in Nigeria where one low lifer threatens to lock you up in prison claiming you don't know who he is. An incident happened one day, someone locked up my goods in his one room face me i face you apartment because I was owing him some amount of money and told me to pay him back his money before he could release my goods. I broke his padlock to retrieve my goods and on top of that still claimed to get me arrested for breaking into his house to retrieve my own property. As a typical nigerian, I told this fellow I will deal with him in my own way because my goods was far more than the money he claimed I owe him. In Nigeria, everybody is a brother or sister to a military officer, everybody is a friend to the IGP, everybody has the power to lock you up in prison.

Guys and churches
I noticed guys mainly attend churches because of that chick they are eyeing. You can dispute me on this.

The shuffering and shmiling mentality
Nigerians can be quite funny. In a nut shell, they suffer and still smile at the same time. No doubt to the fact that they are already used to it.

Time
Nigerians are never ever true to time. an occassion is set for 9 am prompt, a typical Nigerian will arrive 11:45 am. Its in Nigeria where you leave for work 3 hours earlier than schedule and leave for home 3 hours later than schedule just to avoid 'go slow'.

In all, I'm still ever proud to be a Nigerian despite the negatives. If you ask many people out there whether they'll still like to be a Nigerian if there happens to be life after death, they'll say yes because this country is simply amazing.u rock,nice observations,nija for life, so where u come dey

Beer parlour and arm chair analysis. Come here with facts next time.


As for me and my family, we won't be deceived by a writeup from a Nigerian still living in Nigeria.

MrDoGood:
What are you trying to say?
Do you know if he's still in the country?
Or maybe he does travel out and back because of business?

I smell the spirit of envy and jealousy.

Luyeanka:
Keep smelling.

MrDoGood:
Good morning

OtunbaJega:

Sounds like you don't even know the meaning of ''Racism''

Racism

at Ikoyi some few weeks back and a chinese man
stopped by the road side to buy corn. The corn
seller was like ''chinko wetin you wan buy..

How does that statement show racism..abi u don't know the meaning of the word..
Racist /ˈreɪsɪst/
noun
a person who believes that a particular race is
superior to another.

Nigeria is one of those
few countries in the world where you can get
electricity for just five minuites and you'll be
satisfied that at least ''NEPA'' brought light
today.
not satisfied. ..optimistic. .hopeful. ..it would get better. ..UP NEPA!!!

Education
One thing I like Nigeria for is that they value
education a lot. They even go ahead to say
education is the best legacy . But remember,
70% of the most successful people in the world
today don't even have a degree to their name.

we also have successfully people here who didn't go to school. ..and pls don't get it twisted, education does not necessarily mean going to school. every successful person had an education. an enlightening experience.

Inferiority complex
If you want to be treated like a God, change your
skin color to white.

How can you be racist and have inferiority complex?

*walks out of thread. .

gboss4sure:
The OP is wrong in the first 2 points.

Nigerians are everything but not racist, those comments are not racism, it's like when children seens a white man, they will start shouting onye ocha, ibiara nigeria.

Ain't racism, they are just excited.

2nd point on electricity, buhari is just 2 months in power, he doesn't have any policy or direction of government yet neither did he add any extra megawatts to what GEJ left and you guys are attributing steady power during rainy season to him.

Well dry season is coming, we shall see.

@ the Op, I disagree to what you term racism in Nigeria,do you know what racism really mean? Imagine you are in the bus and the rest of the passengers come down and decide to wait for another bus because of a black man that is with them in the bus.Imagine an arab sees you and shout allahu akabar because you are black and consequently thank God for not creating him black as you.Imagine you are inside a taxi and someone put his legs on your shoulder or head and you can't say nothing for fear of your life!!!

What Nigeria shows is excess sense of humour,they call their president Baba go slow,baba one chance and all sort of other names,i think you can see how mature the president took it,Nigerians are not racist,the most moderate people on earth,Nigerians are just hyper humour.
