Sweet country I have a proposition.

See organisation na. See love. See order . See peace. See equality . Everybody comport. That is a country that works. If this were to be naija, fight go Don happen since na. See that woman dey wave after she Don drop food. For here she go Don turn Jesus Christ. Dey shout line up, line up. People go dey even bribe them to collect aid.

Seriously, we have a very long way to go here in Nigeria and so much to learn as well! See how organized they are; and most importantly, the ability to touch the lives of their citizens positively at this very delicate hour! Lovely! Explorer...... Kudos to you! 62 Likes 5 Shares |

Whoo! I don't mean to trivialise the tragedy, but it's been aeons I last had the privilege of making home page on an explorers's thread. That said, the issue of other countries' response and show of concern towards their citizens, as compared to Nigeria's, is like flogging a dead horse. However, it shouldn't be too worrisome because laat time I checked, Nigeria was created as and is still a business enterprise. The aim of any business is to maximise profit. The major shareholders are the elite in government, and we, the citizens are just sweatshop employees, no different from the millions of underage children in China who work fourteen hour days and get paid pee-nuts (pun intended). My advise to Nigerians is either of the following. 1. Get a visa and move to Chad. 2. Bribe your way (as is standard procedure) to get a public or service job, loot the hell out of it and remain here. Nigeria is dead. We need a new country. And yes o, as the accompanying meme indicates, I'm prepared for the barrage of 'wailer' brigade. 53 Likes 4 Shares
