Most Nigerians voted Jonathan out not because of tribe but because he failed woefully. He is a good man but a lot of atrocities was commited under his watch. so stop being bitter cos that is the true.

Here people will blame the government for everything. The Zimbabwe government is as bad as ours but people are still doing the right things there. Thanks so much for this post.

Anyone born after 1980 in Nigeria needs to work very hard to convince me of their good character.

Something happened to this country after 1980.

Like I do always say, government is not the problem of Nigeria, but individuals. There's no excuse to be a thief, a thief is a thief. I've seen a lot of situations where Nigerians scam each others, is the government also responsible for that also. Nigerians just have bad mentality, all we could think of is getting joy by making others cry.

Warlord2014:
How can a government be bad....and the people are good. Waiting you drink uncle?

Our government at all levels do not come from another continent. Not from hell not from other countries. Are they not part and parcel of us. We elect them,we select them,we praise them,we insult people because of them. We kill and main because of them.Come to think of it, those who are in power today we're not there yesterday,this is how they were also saying about those who were in power yesterday. Now that they are in power are they doing things differently? If you also continue like this ,you will also behave like them when you get into position of authority. Stop blaming government and do your own part.

GOVT IS 100% TO BLAME FOR NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS.

NOBODY CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MODIFIED:
To those asking me if the guy ever returned his phone.
When the guy was done, he called the man and he left us in his shop to wait for him by the road side.
I would not have narrated the story if I didn't know how it ended.

I am sure at one point in time we have all met at least one good and honest Nigerian.

Reading through people's comments and some of my mentions makes it look like I am the only Nigerian on this forum. Ask yourself what would you have done if you were the Zimbabwean, it is that simple. If you are not sure, then na your body the mess dey smell.

I can boldly say this, If I were the the Zimbabwean in the OP's story I would not have done it differently.

Most of the thieves stealing Nigeria to death till date were all born before 1980 so that's not a valid point.

Our government is worse, in terms of corruption and stealing, the people here learn from the government, the stealing of public funds in Zimbabwe is child's play compared to Nigeria, Zimbabwe is a poor country.

jcross19:
I just laugh you!! This is country of over 200 millions population and you want them to change over night? no job,no good amenities for their citizens, no security and more! don't you know when there is increases in population crime must multiply be it anywhere in the world? now there is increases in population, business are folding up, unemployment is increasing terribly because of folding up of companies because of bad policies, inhuman taxes are impose on a through calls,banking all these have negative effects on the citizens. now as far back 1987 we have more than 867 textile companies own by government and these companies employed people but now they were dead! are we improving? and the government are looting all the money ? until the head is regulated we are wasting our time.

Kingspin:

You guys will always miss a point


There is a relationship between what Nigerian politicians do and Public attitude. It is a learning curve downward.
That is why the Nigerian main problem is bad leadership.
These leaders influence the people through every means possible tribalism, religion, regional or political, money etc.

This has happened over time.

It takes self-discovery and discipline not to fall, the victim or forget the government and do the right things. You will come here and murmur and complain but what you and I are doing in our domains are nothing to write home about. Until you and I change nothing will change.

duro4chang:
Leave the government alone and do the right thing. This is exactly those who are in power now complained when they were trying to get to power. If you continue like this even when you too get to power you will do the same.

April4th:


If you turn a blind eye to an issue you could have wade in and resolve, then you have no right to complain about the Nigerian mentality and attitude. Simple

dederocs:

The Op post has nothing to do with leaving the government, you must focus on the government to hold them accountable, focus on the government like they do in civilised nations that are moving forward.

duro4chang:
Hold them accountable but do your own part.Are we even better than those who are governing us? We like to talk and murmur but we are as bad as our government.

dederocs:

stop talking like a zombie, online agitation, street protests, constructive criticism is better than nothing,.government is like your staff,do you employ staff and leave them alone?
The Op post is reffering to the honest nature of Zimbabweans, it says nothing of leaving the government alone, focus on the government, not your neighbour, neglecting politicians you employ to serve you is foolishness.
