Tell me about ur parents. Are they also amongst the daft people?
That they are our parents does not mean they cannot be daft. The whole world see all of us as daft because of the kind of news that comes of our country like snake swallowing public funds and citizens joking about it. Our parents and their age group who are supposed to be premier crazy citizens who do not care joke with their money don’t even care.

We are a very daft people, how you feel about it does not change what everyone in the world knows.

Nice one.If na some countries as confusion don dey,you go see different kind of people. Some wan drive pass person wey dey front of dem,some go run leave their cars for road,the ones wey go follow one-way and some people go use am as opportunity to loot.Ordinary EndSars don cause problems for Lagos and other states.

Stop saying some people.
Are you not part of the people?!. Can you swear you've never dumprf refuse or thrown waste out of a moving car on the road or in street?

It can't happen here. Just yesterday, I witness so many traffic disorders travelling back to my base in Ota from Abeokuta. Sanity and orderliness is far from the brain and characters of many Nigerians, here in Nigeria.

We need to improve...

Then I think we as Nigerians should commensurate with insecurities with our nation first before any other country.
Are you now trying to tell me that we're wrong for standing with the Ukrainians?

I'm saying you don't cry foul because you're treated unfairly to the 'citizens'

The most shocking one for me is they still have electricity despite the war but Naija not in war but can't provide electricity for citizens lol

The average Nigerian is;
1. not patient enough, always in a hurry to no
where.
2. Thinks he/she is too smart, smarter than the
next person.
3. Will cheat his/her way out of any situation.
4. No wan carry last either by hook or by crook.
5. Is an opportunist. Give him/her small chance &
he/her will want to out smart you.
6. Expects gratification for every good deed.
7. Give him/her small power & he/her will want to
use it and gain undue advantage.

Its sad but this sums up todays Nigerian, if you doubt me go to any filling station queue or observe drivers on our usual traffic you will see all these played out.

if we can change this attribute we will say bye bye to corruption and bad leadership. Afterall some of those leaders came out of the average citizen not the elites.

The madness is not in Lagos alone. I have lived in all the major cities & some lesser ones, its thesame. I hope there are atleast one or two saner states left.

If Papa God had intended Nigerians to enjoy continuous electricity supply, their heads would have been shaped like solar panels, and they would each boast of dual power sockets conveniently located for easy access in both of their armpits. God bless Armenia.

It has to do with the mindset...... Nigerians think they are smart but impatient is destructive......
Patience is a virtue......

Can never happen in Nigeria, especially in Lagos. The politicians and other big men would have used the soldiers in their convoy to escape the traffic jam, by blowing siren and oppressing civilians. Some will even order helicopters to come pick them up.

It can only if those in charge are sincere and encouraged financially.

Actually it is the DNA in people that create the organized society, what is inside is soon manifested outside. If you see a dirty environment just know that is a reflection of those in that area likewise when you see a clean and orderly environment. Most blacks have nothing to offer the world

Don’t make it seem like it’s only politicians or big men. We are ALL lunatics in this country. Just come and see traffic in Lagos on a Sunday because or anyhow driving to enter filling station and blocking road for everyone else!!

I was just looking at the refugees crossing into Poland, all they have with them is backpacks with few personal effects. But in Africa, you will see refugees running with dirty mattresses without mattress covers, people running with broken trunk boxes, black and white televisions and radios, Ghana must go bags, basins with dirty pots all on their heads. Nna, we worry.
