An average Nigerian is very hardworking. He has no privileges. He has no infrastructure. He wakes up by 5am and gets home by 9pm, to repeat the cycle thr next day.

Sadly, there is an inverse relationship between our hardworking nature and our standard of living.

Nigerians are wonderful people. That is why we thrive everywhere we find ourselves. We just need to watch out against tribalism, religion and sentiments. We need to embrace love. We need to elect good ad responsible leaders. We need to abide by the rule of law. When we do that, like a Phoenix, Nigeria will rise from the ashes.

God bless every hardworking Nigerian. May the forces be with you.

We are the most hard working people in the world.

Although success and greatness is not by hardwork, this result is a huge evidence...

Least hardworking nation's are the most successful...

Hardwork is over hyped.

Wisdom is over hyped..

That's the world for you.

True that. But application of wisdom is a form of handwork. Fools don't think, because it's tasking.

We even work pass China.

Yet they are successful than us.

May be Nigerians are working aimlessly.

Proof that SmartWork is better than HardWork.

Will the application of wisdom make a man successful?


I think the wise people always end up poor..

Those who can't think and just rush in end up rich and successful...

Fortune favors the brave, most brave men are fools.

Bad leadership/ massive corruption kept Nigeria at at this deplorable stage..

Good leadership and judicious use of resources grows a Nation and makes it prosperous

Nigerians are successful on individual basis, but very bad collectively due to bad government

We are not lazy in Nigeria may God help us 🙏

I think so too. I would have made 25 million naira 2 weeks ago if I was brave.

Overanalyzing can make you poor lol.

The present indigenous generation of oil rich gulf countries like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc do not understand what it means to work hard lol.

They didn't make the list.

Well noted.

Our mental and physical strength are highly commendable

Work hard.
Play hard.

And yet one monkey dey call us lazy

Nigerians are naturally hard working people. Most lagosians wake up by 4am and leave for work by 5am, only to return by 10pm and repeat the same routine for the whole week.

Is it business people, if you go to Oyigbo market, all those ugwu sellers come there as early as 5am, they'll be there to sell till around 12pm.

Is it labour, the day I saw stone crushers in action in the East, I had to just dash them money for lunch. They'll crush gravels with sledgehammer until it becomes very small then load them in trucks for construction companies.

Our problem is just our bad leaders...
