Is the white man trust worthy ? ...is the Chinese trust worthy? Russians ? ...u need a bit of aggressiveness to grow really ...most Africans lack this except maybe igbos

The rules is meant to keep the weak man down ...there is no rule in this world ...it's a dog eat dog world

No country achieved growth without doing something bad .. except the few small country with large resources ...it's a matter of time they would soon drop too

See surprising location of Russian troll factory
Russia is interfering with the 2020 US presidential election, but not where you might expect. CNN's Clarissa Ward heads to Ghana, where a Russian troll farm has been based, and confronts people on the ground about the operation. This is a never-before seen look at how Russia is once again trying to influence America's democracy.

So you are justifying crime?
And yes Chinese are trustworthy. If you have met anyone in their country before Not the ones you have corrupted in Nigeria.

You even mentioned your tribe as a prime example of untrustworthy. No wonder.
Aggressive and trustworthy is not the same thing.

Scamming your fellow average or poor people is not aggressiveness but poor wickedness.

Stop rationalizing evil. No be only you people poor or need money.

We are a funny people. Nigerians blame government for Yahoo boys crimes. We lack the concept of taking responsibility for our actions.

It is so sad our value system has fully degraded. I remember back in Primary school where we read about village where people left their wares unattended to, just pick what you want and drop the money. Today such thinking will earn you derisive laughter.

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MODIFIED:
To those asking me if the guy ever returned his phone.
When the guy was done, he called the man and he left us in his shop to wait for him by the road side.
I would not have narrated the story if I didn't know how it ended.

I am sure at one point in time we have all met at least one good and honest Nigerian.

Reading through people's comments and some of my mentions makes it look like I am the only Nigerian on this forum. Ask yourself what would you have done if you were the Zimbabwean, it is that simple. If you are not sure, then na your body the mess dey smell.

I can boldly say this, If I were the the Zimbabwean in the OP's story I would not have done it differently.

It can never happen in West or East Nigeria.
Northern Nigeria shops are mostly not locked and yet those guys don’t rob the shops.


I used to work at the MMA and I discovered our mentality has a Nigerians is to steal and blame it on devil or government if caught.

Senegalese police will inform you to come to station yourself.
If I report someone to the police
They will give me a letter to give the person
Once the person collects the letter from me then the person must appear in the station
Failure not to appear can land you 3 weeks in prison without even looking at your case.

Many Nigerians have ended in Senegalese jails for useless crime and many so called big boy Nigerians have slapped or beaten up Senegalese police thinking they are dealing with Nigeria police officers.
They will not even look at their cases even through many were innocent but sentence to over 10 years in prison.

Here people will blame the government for everything. The Zimbabwe government is as bad as ours but people are still doing the right things there. Thanks so much for this post.

Shattuck:
the citizens are not the the major problem, most of us here right now were born into a failed nation, it would be difficult for a child born in Nigeria right now to grow up morally upright,nigeria's failure began from our so called founding fathers who failed to lay the moral and civil foundation for nation building,most Nigerians are just trying to adapt into a very corrupt and failed nation they were born into,this people in turn take this mentality into governance and leadership. for us to move forward as a nation it will take a right political leadership to get us out of this mess because it was through leadership we got it wrong in the first place.

Nyanabo:
Abegi shut up oh jare.... just as there are bad people or greedy people as you said in nigerian likewise every part of the world.

You should thanking your stars you met a honest person if not you would have been in a hot soup not coming here to post rubbish.

Yes we nigerians are 'fantastically' corrupt but so is the rest of the world. We take bribe they also take bribe, but they now label their own to 'lobby' and our own to bribe.

Who de fool who ? who taught us this corruption ? was Nigeria like this Pre-Independence

I still believe there are good, honest, and contented Nigerians out there, because I have met with some.

I would blame this present generation for how bad things have decayed. Rather I blame our parents because the pressure from them to make it is so much for our young shoulders that we result to a quick way to make money. And we adopt the slogan 'Make money or die trying'

Our parents are now lax on teaching us good morals from tender age As their parents did to them. May God help Us

If not that you're 4change you would have blamed the Government too.
