yeah,i have a very good story about honesty and trust on nairaland.
this forum helped to sell my generators.i was afraid i was going to lose my gens to family members in naija as they did not get them sold for me.so after following nairaland for about 3 years,i decided to open an account to get the gens sold.
the funniest thing is that the guy who bought the gens paid close to 600,000 naira into the account no i gave him without seeing the gens or knowing my address or my brother's address.all he had was my phone no.he paid and didn't even pick the gens up until after 2 weeks.why he trusted me i still don't know.i am proud of him.

and,i am proud of myself for not been fraudulent.and i will never be fraudulent.and,i am nigerian.good news really.

this is about honesty and trust.it still pricks me up till now.

let's hear about yours.

no matter how bad the world or Nigeria is, there are still good people,
More grease to ur elbow,

thanks

honesty is just d best policy,only very few pple have d power to show honesty,we can all see why the response are very few,

this is my own story,a lady was suppose to give me a 1 G ram ,she gave me 2G RAM which is sold for like 8k,while d one i wanted to buy is just 5k,i had to alert her she gav me 2G, WHich she thanked me.i believe many Nigerians are still honest.

^^^^^ good.keep being yourself

naijacutee:

Thanks for opening this thread! It's refreshing to hear stories of the good thongs that happen around us in Naija, not just negative negative negative . More positives, please!

thanks naijacutee.
i think we can champion a renaissance that could project us positively and lead to the kind of reawakening our country yearns for.

it is strange really.he paid and my brother's bank sent him a text as confirmation.
listen to this:despite this text my brother was still afraid.he said it was not possible for any nigerian to do that--pay without knowing the seller or his address.he said may be the buyer had a means of taking the money back.that the money might leave his account.he insisted on moving the money into another account before releasing the gens.
my brother was still afraid despite seeing the money in his account.funny enough,the man did not come for the gens until after 2 weeks.
they all see the guy as an abami.
i still make jest of my brother regularly.
more than funny.

Don't mind what they say, Nigerians I know are honest people, forget about the bad apple, there will always be, the problem with us is greed and they fine tune us to be because it was not so in the beginning with us, we don't even  know our position, check the bible, the Oyinbos are Slaves to the Africans, they know too well that greed will unsettle us.

Tell me why Kings & Princes that have everything got to do with the spirit of greed?,

Let us redeemed ourselves with revival from this spirit that does not belong to us.

Please tell me if there is any reason why, My People perish for lack of knowledge. (information) if you are not informed, you are deformed

Let us rise up good people and start informing ourselves. (information is King)

everyman has d ability to be dishonest or corrupt ,either nigerian,africans or white.One just have to choose to be honest based on ur faith,belief and discipline.

Nigerians are honest pple,despite some pple that are dishonest.

First of all, great to no that nigerians can stil be trusted. thanks 4 d thread. secondly, nairaland is a good place 4 biz?

@ALL,

My own story is with a fellow Nairander here (she knows herself). We met here and have done business several times. We have gone beyond business to even become family friends. The only thing is that we have not still met. When i went to london, we couldnt meet, when she came to Nigeria, we also could not meet. We transact business on trust and neither of us has betrayed that trust.
There are still a lot of honest Nigerians, but a whole lot are really dubious, why?i dont know.
