WHY ARE NIGERIANS NOT ASHAMED OF TELLING LIES? (Page 2)

u don talk am b4, lie na lie. But such a lie is even a more serious and dangerous one, because the children learns that no truth when it comes to money matter. Is that not more absurd? money, money, money, Nigeria's biggest sickness! instead of rescheduling with the debtor and creditor honestly and amicably even if it means given him four, five or even seven months notice to repay d debt and stick to that time and do repay it even if it means borrowing from Peter to pay Paul? I see it happen in many societies apart from Naija

Seconded!

I think the lie in Nigeria lies mostly in the upbringing of children. Little example, as a child, most children heard their parents say:

"If soso and soso person comes and asks about me, tell him that I am not around or I traveled, while in fact, it's a complete lie. And when the person comes around, one mistakenly say the truth,  The boss, Mama or Papa can sack you from your job without remedy or thoroughly beat u up for saying d truth. How then can the person become the President of the country and feel ashamed of telling lies? when in fact, parents and the society approved lie from childhood???

Na waoo !! Just learning and wandering why is like that !! No wonder if here on NP some people even pretend with lies all over their post even when you don't see who is behind there
