The problem I see in these scenarios is lack of a maintenance culture. It is an African problem. I am beginning to believe it is one thing the white man possessed but Africans refused to imbibe. If there were people to act on hand as security personnel then all these would not happen. I am happy to see the facilities could exist in the first place which means our problems stem from people non-willing to put in action most of the time. 1 Like |

greatcrown:Thays a big black fat lie. You have never been to a "developed" society then. No one has time to monitor you. People just have the natural inclination to do whats right because they understand its to their benefit. There are deviants of course and those ones are a minority. Must they deploy people to always monitor you? Even something as simple as dispose of your trash properly for your health government must monitor you. SMH 10 Likes |

Jaqenhghar:Sir , it is poverty related . The only difference between them and us is the fact that they (Niger ) have morals . We on the other hand do not regard morals ; we let our poverty-mindset corrupt our own morals ; which in turn causes us to do questionable things. |

Sadly true. There's something wrong with most Nigerians. When I think about it all, I just come to the conclusion that we are living in a psychiatric nation. 1 Like |

The leaders are only a reflection of the majority people. This is the hard truth we need to tell ourselves. There are many good and sane Nigerians. It is unfortunate that the number of bad ones outweighs the good the reason for the generalization. Majority always carry the vote. 7 Likes 1 Share |

People say the problem is illiteracy but it is not. Illiteracy isn't an excuse. Every circumstances the op listed can and will happen in USA if surveillance and adequate security isn't in place. Citizen biometric Database and cctv surveillance is enough to prevent 70% of the crime and nuisance happening today + a working judiciary system. 1 Like |

Shelumiel:Oga you are almost touching on the actual problem. Do you know that mo matter how much a Niggerian earns he will still steal. I went for a conference once in abuja. See how they were rushing snacks. The peole rushing these snacks were well placed people some of whom earn big money. Tell me what kind of poverty is that one suffering? That snack at most will not be up to 2k a man who earns something like 500 -800k a month will be rushing. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Shelumiel:Sure! And they are ready to kiss the feet of the rich white in turn are so so comfy with passing a few currencies around, and feel the world owes them some respect cos of this act. I agree too. Most Nigerians are so so uncouth and have bad environmental sanity, most especially the ladies. Behind outside and very very dirty and unkempt inside. Seems the only clean world to them should be their rooms(that's of its even clean, tidy). Not to talk of boundary disputes, and like that streetlight issue, selling to the highest bidder will continue to give the imbalance our society currently experiences. Lemme not go into Phcn and the NPF. |

our leaders are extremely useless. if our leaders would do their job, i swear Nigeria will be the best African country to live in...people won't be struggling to travel out. The things are, i don't see any hope for this country. sometimes i wish the british can just come back and colonize us again or some strong country should just bomb the whole of Nigeria and forget we exist. the country is too useless |

Jaqenhghar: it's the repugnant mentality prevalent in that $hithole Even back in the day when I used to volunteer in different villages across Africa, you will not see them rush food or goodies and they are in a much worse state than Nigeria (well except the Liberian, those ones are even worse than Nigerians) 4 Likes |

meobizy:How can we imbibe something that is not dictated by one stupid tradition? We are so backward as Africans cos we refuse to be liberalists. Everything about us is conservative and this has affected everything I mean talk of every strata in this country. Everything in Nigeria has a particular way they do it, and you dare not explore a new way to make same thing more efficient, they either tag you as being possessed, I too know or disobeying the gods. Just name one thing in this country that does not follow existing precedence!!!!! 4 Likes |

Jaqenhghar: Bro without a cctv ordinary picture is enough to capture anyone in a developed country because they have a biometric Database. Do you know people can easily take pictures of these rascals but what can our security operatives do with mere picture of a face without identifiable database? If someone mistakenly transfer 500k to you before it is as good as gone but with BVN you know you can't take that money and get away with it. So automatically you will behave according. 4 Likes |

Jaqenhghar:Sir , some people might be rich on the outside but at heart they are poor . My mum worked for Patience Jonathan in 2015 . The woman being the first lady , and with all the wealth of the nation at her feet was poor at heart ; she was having trouble paying those who worked for her , and even when she did pay , it was always half payment! So some people are just like that . It could be based on their past experiences with poverty and that has brought them to have that kind of mindset 2 Likes |

This is best piece i have read on NL this year...this writer just defined every of my thoughts about Nigeria and Nigerians...we need to get in line...some of us are unlucky to be uneducated, maybe perhaps that's the reason why some Nigerians misbehave so to say, fine, education helps sharpen one's reasoning, but i believe self discipline matters a lot too..i mean we all know what is right and wrong, we just need to discipline ourselves to do right always. Building a greater Nigeria begins with us, those little things we over look matter. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Shelumiel:yes you can be rich and care free ,a simple illustration the state of the road that leads to where you stay is bad and you know you have the power and influence that can draw the attention of the government to fix it up but you careless cause you drive a Prado and it can take the potholes easily on the short run but on the long run once the prado develops a fault you spend higher so it is as simple as that 1 Like 1 Share |

Nigeria is a very complex society. I remember when i was serving and my friend was sick so we visited the government hospital and it was in a very bad state. While chatting with the CMD,he told us that its more than 3 times since he took over efforts have been made to renovate the hospital. But when the money arrives the villagers will mobilize to the hospital and demand that the money should be shared instead. 5 Likes |

Famzer: This is our problem. Rather than take stock and seek how to be better people we keep shifting the bulk to the next person. Through his write up is it not clear to you that he has identified the problem of value and character and is seeking to remedy it through his write up? Or did you just want to comment. Choosing to end your quote with a biblical passage whereas the people that brought the religion to you have abandoned it and developed themselves. 1 Like |
