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.

HAkorehdeh:


I couldn't agree more! We have genuinely good people in this country. But unfortunately, the system has been rigged never to favor the good people. Now we have to either settle for the least bad leaders or pray that God touches their hearts.

HAkorehdeh:
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!

Leaders are the people like you or are they ghosts? Most people who talk and say things online are even worse leaders in their smaller circles.

It isn’t about leadership mostly it is attitudinal change. A lawyer today was watching a porn where a court proceeding was going on. Isn’t that a leader in some settings?

You give a phone repairer to fix a phone for you, he gave you two days, the second day you went to his shop to get your phone he gave you an alibi. 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. What’s stopping him from picking his calls and tell you what’s happening. It is either he asked to you come and get your dead phone or tell you to give him more days. Isn’t that a leader in a circle?

I don’t talk about leadership anyhow. People’s attitude need to change before they can ever have the best. Youths need to stop discussing stupid issues online to be taken seriously.

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.

Good ba wo!

Yorubas hate Igbos, and Igbos hate Yorubas.... There is no love amongst us anymore, since the Yoruba politicians decided to break the camel's back.

Sonnobax15:
. You're definitely still a kid...And I strongly believe you haven't for once left the 4 corners of your street for another state entirely,hence, that's probably the reason you're here talking nonsense.....Make nairaland bashing dey deceive you........Go out there and see for yourself youngie........WE DON'T HATE EACH OTHER/ONE ANOTHER....

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
