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.

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.

You are an illiterate and you are making the situation worse catch any plane to any country in the world in Benin Republic to they will tell you Nigerians are criminals so what are you talking about is that how other Africans are treated. I have been to more than 17 countries in Africa the problem in Nigeria is not the leaders the people are stupid.a Nigeria we kick an industry out of the country 5 years later they are sending their children to that industry in another country believing they will get employed. The problem with Nigeria is illiteracy and stupidity 95% of Nigerians cannot tink more than one month in advance

It's rather funny how we reason here.

Yes I blame the government for most negative things because the government is not doing their work.


Police are hands in gloves with the Yahoo boys and who regulates police?


Police is busy extorting money from commercial bus drivers, make friends with Yahoo boys and you expect me to blame my ancestors.


Your president is releasing terrorists to the society where other countries are dealing with them.



In short nigerians are fools.

We have a bad image and we all are aware.
But what we all most times fail to realise is that it is that most times people like you try to think and postulate that the people can change without the leaders or the government.


Y do some of us blame the Government?
The Government help to set the time and standard for what is right and wrong,
* what is right is reward, applauded and celebrated such that everyone believes in doing what is right
* What is wrong is purnish and disgraced
Laws are made to help people see this things clearly and to appreciate the impact of this actions by the leadership. Slowly slowly everyone begins to be in alignment of the law. Crime rates will certainly drop .

But what do we have?
A country whose leaders treat the followers lesser than humans and the mad rush for money continue to increase because of the power, authority and strength that those who possess it displays.
Where the offenders dine with leaders and leaders are more criminal than the man behind bars.
Doing wrong is getting been celebrated and the right man is called a fool even by his own household.
Citizens get crooked by the day because they can not beat them but would rather join them.

Tell me how can ur personal and individual self solve.all this problem without the instrumentality of leadership with it's authority!

You say the people as though God created us differently?
Or
Do you want to accuse our culture to have made us this way?
I do not agree God or the culture did this to us but the continuous beat of the effect of bad leadership.
When I was growing I know how people who sell in my village leave their wares outside and even attend occasions in the nearby villages yet people will buy bread and keep the money under the trail of bread even sometimes serve themselves with the change or come get it later.
This was in the 80's and 90's
But
Today in the same village you lock your door and they will burggle it to steal from inside.

Some of you even accused the Church not knowing that it was the church that help avert mass suicide because of the right and wrong prophecies that continue to give people hope and hope is a very necessary ingredients for a hopeless situation like this that we have here.

I can go on and on but I rest my case
I rest my case

SUFFERInSMILIIN:

That is the problem we have been making in Nigeria from beginning it is not leadership the Citizens are illiterate the only think Nigerians know how to do is vote for a criminal and destroy. So it has nothing to really do with the leadership. Nigerians the UK and America will tell you a Nigerian can do nothing but they have to vote for their own Nigerian criminal this is in developed countries what Nigerians will be telling you. Even Nigerian children which are fun day at the same if you put us on the moon with Nigerians will end up voteing on a criminal. Do you know how many times are brought in developed countries I have here to Nigeria cedis we Nigerians can achieve nothing but we have to make noise.

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.

dbestuncle:

Guy pack well. Calling 95% of Nigerians stupid shows how much of morals you have.
Maybe you are even part if the issues going to over 17 countries calling your people stupid.
