First in history for Nigerians nt ben drawn in!

Nigerians, Ghanians, or South Africans, what difference does it make? We are all Africans and this is shame. If it was meant to be a joke it is obviously not funny. What a disgrace. What is a replica worth? 
Absolute poverty corrupts absolutely.

What is a Nigerian identity? and how do you give it up. Is sagging your pants a cultural expression that is fundamentally woven into the fabric of the society or is it a temporary fashion expression that changes with every generation?
Every human being has the desire to be accepted by members of the society, be it at home or abroad. Because of this desire, one must learn to adjust and adapt to the social etiquette and fashion of the day or you might become an outcast or outsider within the community in which you reside. Patriotism is a good thing but another mans land is not necessarily the best place to display it. The idea is if you love your culture and your country so much then you must be able to live there and help uplift the culture to heights of prosperity and respect in the world. The truth of the matter is most Nigerians of today has only lip service patriotism. They are quick to condemn other peoples culture and way of life. They try to tell you that Nigeria is not that bad! but when given the opportunity they run out of Nigeria never to return. I once spoke with a group of 58  young men and women at the YWCA in Nigeria, I asked them how many of them will like to leave Nigeria and go reside in another country ? Every last one of them raised their hand. I asked the same question in Atlanta, only 2 hands out of 55 went up. Lets not worry about other peoples culture or Identity lets fix ours so that our youth will have no interest in leaving their country or have any desire to take on the culture of another.
