A Proof That There Are Good People In Nigeria (MY Experience Last Night) by HAkorehdeh(m): 10:45am On May 08, 2023 |
First, I consider myself a good person too, but occasionally, I learn new ways to be better, and it's essential that I adopt them too. So, I missed my 7pm and 8pm congregational prayers last night because I didn't want to miss any moment of Manchester United's match last night (Our mosque is kinda far).
After the first 10 minutes of the second half, I knew we had no chance of winning. It was already past 8 o'clock when I looked at the clock, so I decided to finish up outdoors before nightfall; I mainly wanted to buy raw beans and plantains.
It was a pleasant 15-minute stroll to my preferred vendor. I inquired if the lady had plantains and beans. She informed me that she did not have plantains and that I might find them at a different seller further down the street. The other vendor I contacted likewise indicated they were out of stock (for plantains). Meanwhile, she was attending to one guy when I arrived. The guy would be in his mid 20's, just like me. He realized I was worried and told me he could take me to where they sell plantain if I didn't mind. I obliged immediately.
Of course, there were street lights everywhere in my street, so I had nothing to worry about security-wise. But I couldn't imagine myself going that extra mile in helping a random stranger we might never meet again. The dude took me up to the third street until we reached the point where a vendor sells plantains. Unfortunately, when we arrived there, the woman had already closed. The woman was Igbo, but another Yoruba elderly woman hadn't closed yet.
When she asked what we were looking for, I told her in Yoruba (cuz I sensed from her pidgin accent that she was Yoruba). She replied the woman just closed a few minutes ago, but we should wait, that she would go and call her for us. This woman couldn't even stand straight enough and was using a walking stick, yet she went up to 10 mins walk to fetch her fellow vendor who was Igbo and younger. All this while, the guy that took me there was also waiting.
While the woman was gone, we chatted throughout. He told me he was new in the area and came for some carpentry jobs (apparently, he is a carpenter). I personally am fun to chat with, but I really suck at initiating a conversation. We talked the whole time until the old Yoruba woman returned and was followed by the Younger woman, who was Igbo. I bought my stuff and thanked everyone. When I was about to leave, the guy asked for my name and told me his (his name was Wisdom). I was really impressed.
As I said earlier, I consider myself a good person, but I never saw myself going that extra mile to help a random stranger. From the guy I met that took me to the vendor to the older woman who left her shop to fetch her fellow vendor. All I saw were good people, and I learned something new. There are good people in Nigeria, and If the majority of us can be good, it'd be a significant step toward making our country great again!

Nice nice Nigeria indeed has genuinely good people.
The leaders mostly elected through corrupt means are the major problem we have. Just look at our electoral system from the primaries to the main election. You will understand why we don't get the best of leaders. It takes the most corrupt of them to 'win' the elections. One of the running mate of one of the major parties once said Osinbajo was a good man and good men like him don't deserve to be presidents. 6 Likes |

Now we have to either settle for the least bad leaders or pray that God touches their hearts. The system is not good for the good people. Good people are most likely not to head most offices in the public sector. Promotions are often for those that are able to bribe their way or align with the corrupt superior officers. You get sacked easily if you find yourself in a situation and refuse to compromise. Good army officers are most likely to get posted to the hot zones during wars, not because they want them to put things right but with the aim of them losing their life in the process. Indeed an insane head can not have a sane body! I hope that one day, good will thrive over evil in Nigeria. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

This should be normal, I can do this if only I don't have urgent business at hand, if people meet me they discover I am a good person. Most of them sees it as naivety or they will see you finish. It's when they follow me talk for long time and find out how reasonable I am that's when they will conclude. People are always surprised how I trust people I just met easily, to me there isn't any reason not to trust you, but when I do I put it at the back of my mind that person might fail me. That's what bring people closer to me, the surprise someone can trust you when just meeting you, will make you lower your guards to trust me easily. I always imagine why people do bad things to people, even if you don't have conscience nothing is worth it to cause people sorrow. Anyway the more stupid and naive you are, the more happy you are 5 Likes 1 Share |

Told you to call him the second day that it would be ready. You told him before you left that you lived in about 1 hour Journey distance to him. U put a call through to him the day he asked you to call him and he refused to pick his calls. You called for two days without picking after he had picked once and knew it was you. You went there angrily to get your phone back, even with the said distance and cost but he told you that he was still busy trying to fix it. But yet to fix.

Nigeria is filled with good people until hungry for power took center stage and we began to tell each other why one is better than the other or why one can't exist without the other. rather than compliment our indifference and forge an indivisible alliance (which some people still upheld till date) we started looking for flaws propagated by bad people. For me all I see is a fight between good and the bad, its everywhere. And we easily got swayed to it because of our selfish nature. Like someone said. What unites us is bigger than what separates us. I may have digressed out of your topic, but that's what I perceived. Good people are everywhere, their voices are just not loud/noisy so it takes goods people to observe them.

Fortunately,I was the only Deltan,an urhobo and the only christian for that matter in the whole workshop which comprised of mainly hausas and Muslims.......There was a particular guy,named Mohammed...He was my closest guy back then.....In fact,all of them were really nice to me and treated me with great respect prior to the fact that I was from another state.. Sometimes, they'd sit me down and start asking me questions about what they had heard about Warri ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) .

soundOsonic: This should be normal, I can do this if only I don't have urgent business at hand, if people meet me they discover I am a good person. Most of them sees it as naivety or they will see you finish. It's when they follow me talk for long time and find out how reasonable I am that's when they will conclude. People are always surprised how I trust people I just met easily, to me there isn't any reason not to trust you, but when I do I put it at the back of my mind that person might fail me. That's what bring people closer to me, the surprise someone can trust you when just meeting you, will make you lower your guards to trust me easily. I always imagine why people do bad things to people, even if you don't have conscience nothing is worth it to cause people sorrow. Anyway the more stupid and naive you are, the more happy you are I have this same attitude, I trust but at the back of my mind I have it that some can fail, so if a person fails I won't be surprised but that trust for the person is broken forever. |
