@ poster, how about " what makes you love your country?" If u focus on what makes u "cringe" about our country, Im afraid that's all u'll ever see. Why not see the cup as half full rather than half empty. Always remember this, your thoughts become your reality. Garbage in garbage out, think -ve see -ve. |

things that make me happy about nigeria the food (best in the world) the sense of humor the social scene the bond that friends form is stronger than in other parts of the world. the culture of 'what is yours is yours forever with no ties' ( no property tax, road tax, council tax, tv license, water tax, garbage man tax, etc etc ) the sense of freedom you have when in nigeria lack of racism feeling like a first class citizen and that you belong |

1) The belief that elections in particular and Democracy in general is somehow more than just begging the corrupt 2) The fact that I want this country and its people to change so badly, but knowing there is very little I can do to affect change. 3) The sense of despair I feel when I read these comments of a people yearning for a change that may never come. |
