Don't blame Nigerians and don't try this in Nigeria. An average Nigerian, even after agreeing to help you will suddenly start hearing different voices in his head. "E be like say na how God wan take bless you be dis" "opportunity comes but once" "This year you will get your own car" "2020, my year of advancement" "God wee not come down from heaven to bless you, na person e go send" et cetra He will even hear the voice of Nigeria economy screaming, "Recession! Recession!!" at last he will succumb to the voice. And even if he doesn't he would have had to battle all these in his head. Except he has the Holy Spirit inside him, then he won't even think twice before returning the car. 1 Like |

duro4chang:Have you hear of the saying that a fish rots from the head? If everybody were to know the right thing to do, there wouldn't have been any need for government. You can't expect to build a good society, when those that are supposed to champion the building process are actually at the forefront of destroying it. Stop blaming the people for the government's failures. Stop giving excuses for bad leaders. The people have a role to play, but the leaders should first of all lead by example. We all know that the reason corruption is striving in this country is because the government is corrupt. When we have a true man of integrity leading this country, only then can we say that corruption will end because he will be sincere in all his activities. He will not be selective and hypocritical about it. Our leaders are our major problem, not the people. When the leaders make up their minds to do the right thing, the people will have no choice than to obey. Infact, the negative image we have outside us as a result of the corruption in government. 1 Like |

Op, The government is everything. If people know or fear the repercussion of their actions, they will be more careful. In Nigeria, if you have connections, no repercussion for anything you do! On the average, Nigerians are better human being than US, Zimbabwe, Chinese people. |

robinso01:That's why we have laws. But unfortunately, our laws are weak and cannot bite. If you indict anybody for crime and he happens to know someone in the right office, he will escape punishment. When people realize that they will definitely be punished for their crimes, maybe some of them will behave well |

Zimbabweans are innocent people very honest even in UK America and Europe most zimbabweans black and managers. I think they are the African country with the highest number of black managers abroad. White people like black Zimbabwean so much that they give them good job. |

eleojo23:the citizens are not the the major problem, most of us here right now were born into a failed nation, it would be difficult for a child born in Nigeria right now to grow up morally upright,nigeria's failure began from our so called founding fathers who failed to lay the moral and civil foundation for nation building,most Nigerians are just trying to adapt into a very corrupt and failed nation they were born into,this people in turn take this mentality into governance and leadership. for us to move forward as a nation it will take a right political leadership to get us out of this mess because it was through leadership we got it wrong in the first place. 1 Like 1 Share |

Abegi shut up oh jare.... just as there are bad people or greedy people as you said in nigerian likewise every part of the world. You should thanking your stars you met a honest person if not you would have been in a hot soup not coming here to post rubbish. Yes we nigerians are 'fantastically' corrupt but so is the rest of the world. We take bribe they also take bribe, but they now label their own to 'lobby' and our own to bribe. Who de fool who ? who taught us this corruption ? was Nigeria like this Pre-Independence ![]() I still believe there are good, honest, and contented Nigerians out there, because I have met with some. I would blame this present generation for how bad things have decayed. Rather I blame our parents because the pressure from them to make it is so much for our young shoulders that we result to a quick way to make money. And we adopt the slogan 'Make money or die trying' Our parents are now lax on teaching us good morals from tender age As their parents did to them. May God help Us |

The truth is that Nigeria still have many truthful and trustworthy individuals but the noises that comes with the sins of the dubious ones are louder. I can not blow my own trumpet but I will tell you that I have met someone here on Nairaland, we both live in Nigeria but have not seen apart from WhatsApp pictures and voice calls. We have had transactions now for over 6 years. The transaction started from about N10,000 - N15,000 and it has gone far beyond that. But I have never had any reason to go look for him to get back my money. I will send him money, he will send me goods without noise. So the generalisation of bad behaviour on all Nigerians is not fair.. 2 Likes |
