Reasons Why The World Talk Of Nigeria

It's almost impossible not to talk about Nigeria and Nigerians. You meet them any and everywhere.

The most populated black nation in the world. People talk about us for our ground breaking achievements and of course, our unpleasant deeds.

Here are some reasons!

1. It's only in Nigeria leaders will come out to say they have built a world class hospital only to fly to India or the UK for medical treatment, even to check blood sugar level. They never go close to the hospital after commissioning.

2. Nigerians have been heralded as one of the most educated citizens living in foreign countries.

3. A place where every weekend is a celebration; bars filled up, colourful marriage celebrations, clubs filled to the brim, religious services echoing to heaven and even burial's of aged relatives call for a party.

4. A country where leaders continue to convince the youths that "they are the leaders of tomorrow" but the same leader has done all he can to remain in power in one way or another since I was born. Oga, which tomorrow are we talking about? Abi, is tomorrow a name of place?

5. A country that is still at the top of the jollof rice pyramid in West Africa despite our minister of information who's name is undoubtedly Lai Muhammed, claiming it was the Senegalese. Nigerian jollof rice is still the best!

6. A Country recently awarded the poverty capital of the world. And home of the fantastically corrupt leaders. But managed to remain the largest economy in Africa.

7. The church headquarters. Land of miracle workers. Home of rich pastors, poor members.

8. A country where leaders have successfully out maneuvered and enslaved citizens and has kept them begging for a drop of crumbs from their golden dinnings so the masses could continue fighting for their longevity.

9. A country who's citizens have given up on their government and has launched war on survival, battling against every odd, launching businesses to fight hunger and rewrite family histories.

10. A nation who's citizens have all become vigilante, guarding and protecting themselves because the majority of authorities have been bought over by rich political leaders to guard there empty houses, parked cars and sleeping wives and children.

11. A nation where citizens have realized Democracy as a demonstration of madness, a sick system that has giving the majority tribes and the ruling parties power to continue to determine our future in the worst possible way while making it look pretty

12. A nation where after graduating from tertiary institutions the first place graduates go to is to learn hand-work, instead of heading to companies or government offices for interviews.

13. A country where hundred thousand persons apply for hundred available positions in a company wanting to employ qualified personnel. The good news is, they are all qualified for the job. A tough choice for the company, and tough luck for applicants.

14. A country where people work tirelessly to turn stone to bread as a challenge to poverty... say poverty no reach, as a pure Naija blood.

15. A place where every Jane, Grace and mary from some fancy country claimed to have sent their hard earned savings to. And are now working tirelessly with the FBI to get them back after discovering it was a false promise... That's what the world call a romance scam.

16. The only country that could block a government road because of a marriage or a burial ceremony, thereby causing the most dreadful of traffic.

17. The only country in the world where you pay development fee before developing your own land, or constructing a road in a community. One practically pays to develop an undeveloped empty land. We are fast to blame the government but never our individual evil acts.

18. The only country people write “not for sale” and “beware of 419” on their properties. My English friends wouldn't stop making jokes about this at my previous job.

19. A country where a taxi driver carrying crate of eggs is more careful than the one carrying human beings. Life is a rollercoaster

20..A country where the most effective way to convince people to do a thing is to ask them never to do it... and vice versa.

21. A country where one could experience one of the closest relationships within and outside the family. What ever you own is also a property of your close relatives and friends except the person is unfriendly, and he will automatically qualify for the name "wicked man". Most women won't feel comfortable in her husbands house without the blessings of her husband's close relatives.

22. A country where activities like sport, music, marriage, burial and birthday celebrations could unite sworn enemies. No,...not religion, that's where enemity starts.

Oh! no, he didn't commit any Crime, it's a marriage invitation. One of “Only in Nigeria” moments.

I can go on and on....

Why won't the world talk about such a country?

A country where everything is complete.

Our news stations have a big story to tell every day.

On a good day either a Nigerian has done something absolutely beautiful or terribly wrong.

Life is drama down here. A game of thrones!

Fact: Any country you can't find Nigerians is unsafe and not profitable..

Two fall to their deaths down an elevator shaft during robbery

Two fall to their deaths down an elevator shaft during robbery The bodies of two would-be thieves named Robert Green and Jacob Jagendorf after a failed robbery attempt that ended when they accidentally fell down the building's elevator shaft in New York in 1915.⁠ ⁠For more photos of crime scenes of yesteryear reimagined in color, follow the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ There are robberies, robberies gone wrong, and robberies gone horribly wrong. In the latter category was this effort by Robert Green and Jacob Jagendorf. Green was a night watchman (some accounts say elevator operator) at a New York City shirt factory, and apparently conceived a way to use his access to pull off a theft of expensive silk fabric. Late one night, he and Jagendorf stopped an elevator on the fifth floor of the building, wedged the doors open, and proceeded to load in bolts of the pricy fabric, doing so in the dark to avoid alerting any observers outside the building. At some point the elevator rose to the tenth f...

How To Fix A Broken Relationship

Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end. Many couples find that working through trouble actually makes their relationship even stronger. What they realize is that all relationship require work, love, and patience to succeed, and this is especially true when trying to mend a broken relationship. 1. Determine if the other person wants to fix the relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If your partner is unapologetic for mistakes, dismissive of your desire to talk, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on. It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. If you are the only one trying to save things then you will never succeed. 2. Determine why the relationship is in trouble. All relationships go through rough patches at one point or another. As the novelty of your first few months together wears off, problem...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

How To Ask For A Date

Asking someone out on a date can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or uncertain on how to approach asking someone out, don't worry, you're not alone.
