What is wrong with Nigeria? (Page 5)

Our number one problem in this country is GREED.
Secondly, over-RELIGIOUS (lip service) citizenry,
and thirdly, POLITICS (chop-i-chop or if-i-get-there-i-go-chop-my-own mentality).
These will take us no where.

To buttress my points, consider a country like Sierra Leone - GREED - Diamond did mess up their minds that they killed themselves for it.

Also, countries like Iran, Afghanistan etc. - the over-RELIGIOUS attitude- They hide under that cloak to inflict hideous pain and death to God's creation. These they do calling "their god" as they commit inhumanity. Can you fight for God? This is about how we Africans, especially Nigerians behave these days. True-RELIGION now lives far from our abode because if given what we needed, we would forget God totally.

Finally, African style POLITICS - I call it 'POLITRICKING' -This has become a legal means of pilfering, which most often increases to looting of government purse by officials "selected", I beg your pardon "we thought we elected" to serve our interests.

Critically looking into these, we would find out that these are the characteristics of most fallen countries. We also would agree that countries we call great today became what they are because they hauled down their gauntlets and put their hands to work.

Nigeria will be a better place when we put in the right attitude by working hard, day and night. We should  shed some of these "white man's culture" and embrace some diplomacy in dealing with foreigners.

God Bless Nigeria.

PLEASE give me a break.........
Actually there is nothing wrong with Naija




All we have to do is to end the sit down look attitude and do something meaningfull on our side.Look at what other Nationals are doing ( they know their rights and also have it) while an average 9ja man will knw his right but can't get and he still wants to have it not knowing that those(other Nationals) who are having it didn't get it on a platter of gold, they fought for it.

THUS FAR, HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US THAT, TO TAKE A FEW EXAMPLES: CORRUPTION, TRIBALISM, GREED, AND TYRANNY HAVE ONLY BROUGHT UNPLEASANT CONSEQUENCES UPON US AS A NATION AND PEOPLE. THESE AND OTHER PROBLEMS CAN BE RESOLVED. MOST NIGERIANS SHARE FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, AND MARRIAGES WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE THEIR TRIBES, CAN THIS FACTOR NOT BE EXPLOITED TO WATER DOWN TRIBALISM? ON THE OTHER HAND WE ALL CLAIM TO HATE THE SITUATION ON GROUND, CAN WE NOT INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY BEGIN TO WORK TO CHANGE IT? LASTLY, LEADERS ARE THE PRODUCT OF A SOCIETY, IS IT NOT TIME WE BEGAN CULTIVATING A GENERATION THAT WILL BLOSSOM INTO THE KIND OF LEADERS WE YEARN FOR? NOBODY CAN FLATLY ASSERT THAT NIGERIANS ARE BAD PEOPLE, SO LET US BRING OUR GOOD QUALITIES TO BEAR ESPECIALLY ON GOVERNANCE, FOR OUR COMMON GOOD.  YES WE TOO CAN. GOD BLESS NIGERIA

I sincerely believe that this country is greater than we could ever imagine and won't waste my energy listing all its resources and endowments. Our leadership however, lack the foresight, finesse, charisma and ideologies to lead the world's most powerful black nation as they've limited their ideas to looting and immediate gain along with blunt refusal to alter the ideas they learnt from the colonial masters in the early 1900s. These farts are the self same who dream up big ideas of national development but dont know the importance of an educational research grant to the universities.And dem too wan launch satellite!na today!
