Very true....especially lynchings,

If dem catch thief, lynching is the best alternative





We will have one less thief in our heartless youthful group



But on other things , e no good to watch others suffer

IamD18:
Wrong! Not all Nigerians, but the poor.
The poor love to see people suffer like them.
More like saying, misery loves company.

so the rich don't envy?

BlacSmit:
On a street level, Nigerians prefer seeing their neighbors suffer than seeing them enjoy.

That's why most people who where unemployed vote for APC, to see if they can make everyone equal

I even heard the family of those young Nigerians who were brutally killed in stadia allover the country during the immigration job scan by Jonathan & the PDP still voted PDP. Even Abians who're being owed almost 2 years salary by the PDP still voted PDP.
Naija go better sha!

Did she mean our politicians and Senators??

No, all of us.
When you buy a generator and call it, "I better pass my neighbour", you are being happy that YOU have light, but your neighbour can go and die.
When you go to church and they say prayer session, "My enemies must die, Die by fire, Holy Ghost Fire"... You want to see people die and perish, whereas Jesus whom you claim to worship asked us all, "Love your neighbour and pray for those who persecute you"

People burning others with tire in the name of jungle justice. Yesterday,, someone was accused of stealing a goat. Then both he and the goat were burnt alive...

She is correct. Nigerians love seeing others suffer. Meanwhile, Devil is there laughing. Since God created this world and all human beings, devils main work is to kill and Destroy. And that is what he has been using Nigerians to do to each other. Since January 2019, in Nigeria alone, over 2000 have been needlessly killed before their time. And yet we are not at war.

So do the rich employ the poor, give them good salaries, give them donations and alms, actively PULL THEM out of poverty?
Or like you, they just make snide comments and continue browsing their iPhone X, LEAVING the poor to continue suffering?

How many poor people's products have you purchased?

GOFRONT:
Did she mean our politicians and Senators??

Nope. She means the average Nigerians. Your everyday Nigerians. Mean spirited set of people. It's sickening.

Pavore9:
Some Nigerians not every Nigerian

So whom did you help today?
How many people did you cheer up last week?

What travesty Opposite is the case, in all the world of my experience, Nigerians stand out as the only people that generally take pride and joy in the success of others. See, for instance, how Nigerians praise Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Ethiopia, America even Somalia. Bet There is not many of you, which are Nigerians, who has not experienced the joy shown by people in an area when someone’s child graduates, when someone builds a house, or buys a new car.

Even after all the killing of Nigerians by South Africans, majority of Nigerian still praise South Africans and in fact blame the very Nigerians killed. When Ghana kick Nigerians out of their country majority of Nigerians still praise them and even make excuses for the Ghanaians, saying things like Ghana has Electricity and Nigeria is shithole. No, Nigerians are very generous and full of praise for those they deem successful.

it is true, a good example is ajepako

True. I never fail to be astonished at how much Nigerians lack empathy especially for each other.

Truth is damn bitter

Take a break.

It is not the poor that suffer, but the emasculated. How many of the "baba'lawos" that so many patronise are truly rich? How many, even, of your "powerful" traditional rulers are truly rich? Even amongst other so-called regular citizens like unto thee, how many of thy "omo oniles" - with the property that should have them all be otherwise - are truly rich? Would you of any truth say that any of them is of any truth indeed miserable - and therefore merely looking for company?

Kate Henshaw is correct. Nigeria is a nation ever deserving of reproach.

Thanks, for your high level of reflections, observation and empathy. Of cause, it is as a result of " individualism" the society has tend to embrace over the years, instead of " the collective spirit" that has being the cure value of African culture.
