Topic: Why do people think is a mistake to be Nigeria?? - page 3. (Read 1010 times)

Yes OP I agree with you but it is the government job to look out for the electricity in the country but we know that this is Nigeria corruption has eaten up this country that's why they don't do their job but if it were to be in another country their government would have taken the full responsibility for me that a Wong thing buy the area people to do.

  Being a Nigerian is not a curse, we are too quick in judging our own thing rather than appreciating what we have, God has blessed us with numerous resources and we don’t even suffer from natural disasters like other countries do aside from the usual flood we experienced cause of our negligence. Nigeria is not the only country that suffers from bad governance, the uk and U.S also suffer from this as well, the only problem for our leaders be say they no get conscience when dem day loot the money. They prefer to keep money for their unborn children rather to use money do what they ought to do. We are not only know for the bad things, people just like to project the bad things more than the good ones.
  A lot of countries envy us Nigerians, they see us as threat cause of how easy we handle things some even wish to be like us. We are full of charisma, we often get noticed by other countrymen. Despite all that’s going on in the country with economic crisis and all we are still very happy people. All we just need is a good government that can manage our resources and be transparent to its citizen. I believe they will be a change now that the youth are more involve in political affairs. Time will tell for we Nigerians and those who have the wrong mindset about is will realize how smart and hardworking we are.
 

I don't blame those set of people who think that it is a very bad idea to be a citizen of Nigeria just because of the present situation..... In Nigeria, our government has crippled this country because we citizens are so relaxed and not working together (but even if we do, what difference?). Nigeria is a good and beautiful country that has what other countries do not have. It is a good thing to be a good Nigerian citizen, just like how other people from different countries imagine if they are from Nigeria.
Other governments of different countries are jealous of being a Nigerian citizen. That's why, if you look carefully, you will understand that most of these countries don't want anything bad to happen to Nigeria (things like war) because if it happens, they are going to suffer ponderously.

People think is a mistake to be in Nigeria because of the economic breakdown in the country, I don't regret being a citizen of this country, because I strongly believe that one day we will wake up to a better Nigeria someday.

Indeed, the economic situation of the country is not favorable to all of us but we don't have to give up on our country just like that. We should always remember that Nigeria is our own despite all of that(corruption, insecurity, bad government, etc), and we don't have any other country apart from her.

If we all leave and deny being a Nigeria, who then are we leaving it for? Who are we handling the affairs of the country to, then? Nobody I think.

Despite everything, let us be proud and represent our country wherever we find ourselves in. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Nigeria is endowed with many mineral resources but nothing to show for it, people are free to think that way because the Government of the day has refused to seek a redress concerning the plight of the people, how will anyone be proud to be a citizen of Nigeria when he or she can't afford to care for him or herself not that they are not strong but nothing to work for, Nigeria as a country is not riped for somethings and it is high time our Government knows that before is too late, you don't keep deceiving your people with fake promises.

A Government that has refused to reopen the border because of its selfish reasons and keeps its citizens wagering in abject poverty without remorse, so what do you expect from those citizens, may God help Nigerians that's all I have to say.

The temptation to think this way is very high. Nigeria is one of the most blessed country in the world. The blessings of Nigeria is inexhaustible. 

We have beautiful weather condition that captures both rainy and dry seasons. Nigeria have vast arable lands suitable for commercial agricultural.  Nigeria have access to the sea with the potential of developing more than five seaports. Nigeria is blessed with over 130 different mineral deposits with a huge oil and gas reserves. The gold in Zamfara state a lone is more than the gold in the entire Ghana that is known as the gold nation.

On the aspect of human resources, Nigeria have a wonderful population of young, intelligent and hardworking youths. Recent studies shows that Nigeria have the highest number of educated immigrants in the US. Nigerians produces the top foreign students in most UK and Canadian universities.  What then is wrong with Nigeria? Why will someone regret being a Nigerian?

The simple answer is failure of leadership. Chinua Achebe uses this opening stanza of William Butler Yeats’s poem “The Second Coming,” where he quoted  , "when the centre cannot hold, things fall apart ". The success of every nation begins and ends in leadership. Any country that failed to get their leadership right is doomed to fail on all sides.

If we get the leadership right,  Nigeria will be so transformed that those abroad will be tempted to return to Nigeria. We should not give up on the country.

The dependence on the government is too much and the plain truth is that we should be able to help ourselves, in some situation the truth of the matter is the government have its own problem to deal with even with the issue of corruption, the issue of a job not only Nigeria that has job issues it is global, and there is no way the government can provide job for everybody, the best we can do for our self is to utilize how self well and think of were we can make money from instead of waiting for the government. something happened in my area recently the transformer got spoiled and the next thing they were waiting for the government to cut the long story short the government did not turn up they ended up buying the transformer themselves self so instead of waiting we can provide the solution ourselves.

To me there are many reasons why people think it is a mistake to be in Nigeria.
Anytime you hear people complaining about a place there must be a reason why they complain, it is that the the cost of living there is not balanced or the way things are going is not favorable to the people.
Nigeria as a country that is blessed with natural resources but, the problem is mismanagement of those natural resources. With the natural resources that Nigeria ahs it ought to be among the top 15 countries wealthy countries in the world but lack of knowledge of who they are and what day have, has made them to be among the under developing countries. If Americans where giving a two years access to the Nigerian resources in fact they will be richer than the level they are.
Why people think is a mistake to be a Nigerian is because our government has failed to take care of the people and also create job opportunities to the people whereby, lead to the people involving in different evil works.

I find it funny how Nigerians see themselves and their nation compared to how other African countries see us when they come to Nigeria. I have watched several seminars and interviews of successful business owners from all  over Africa, and one common thing they all said was how they admire the “hustle” spirit of Nigerians. A South African even said his negotiation skill improved since he visited Nigeria. The rest of the continent admires us and sometimes admiration may borderline become envy and it’s shocking to me that it is only Nigerians that do not see the value that they bring to the rest of the world. Yes our economy sucks, Yes our politicians are corrupt, Yes we are not where we ought to be. I believe we would be better off if we stop magnifying our problems and flaws and instead focus magnifying our strengths.

Make I tell you the truth, for the fact that they gave birth to you in Nigeria, life is leading you 1-0, you come grow up, school in the non-impacting educational system of Nigeria. Life is leading you 2-0.  These people you see leaving are avoiding life to lead them up to 3-0 or 4-0, cos that kind of living it is hell on earth. Me sef wey dey work here, life is leading me 3-0, so if I see opportunity, I'll leave the country and relocate to a more promising one before life leads me up to 4-0 and it stops being a contest (according to PS3).

I'm using this football analogy to demonstrate how much below standard and low quality life we live here and any opportunity anyone have to better their lives by escaping this trap of a country is a very welcome development. Opportunities dey the country quite alright, but the people looking for the opportunities are very much larger than the opportunities and most of these limited opportunities are still hijacked by our wicked politicians for their personal interests. The thing just choke finally

The right time you start removing your trust from government the right time you learn to grow a thick  skin over whatever that has been happening around the country, though it's quite painful but we must admit that the abnormality has turned to normality in our nation yet we knew that all aren't real but we prefer to secure our political parties instead of our future to build a stronger nation and a better country for her inhabitants. I can see the blood of the innocent who has lost their lives in name of fighting for the country but are yet forgotten So soon because we had no government and no one cares for each other rather only the politicians cares to survive and over role each and everyone.
Our country is no were to be putting hope for but yet people are still surviving from one way or the other because we believe in our lord Jesus to sustain us.

Absolutely, there is no priotization to the country Nigeria is at an applauding governing level of it is not craved to carry everyone along to favorable exploits.
This is equivalent to say there is an injustice in the judiciary the victory of the judgement is not on your side .

The economic system in the country has brought fortunes and misfortunes amongst the masses where the categories of owroenstnot favoured are yelling, panting and crambling to depressions and oppressions by the economic system (hardship) living the categorized individual regrets to questionable reasons on why the unfavored masses should be on such statues quo whereby, most developed and advanced country of today is no how to be compared with the amount of economic resources that the nation Nigeria is generating and the individual endivoirs to creativities and to entrepreneurship possessions. But yet the the national anthem of the nation has seemed to be a drainage crawling the economical system to devaluation of the categorized group of the masses.

Meanwhile...the fortuned bearers in the same nation are hail heartening to say... "The national economy is at the high peak of normality because they are on the benefitial side but there is an existing umpire sector in the national governing bodies that is being biased with a monopoly running governmental system.

That is a system whereas one is seemed "W" as an "M" while some are seemed "M" as "W" depending on a stance of position.

Reasons why some individuals would say "I am regret to be one of the citizens of Nigeria are >>>
* A system where the governance is running a careless governing system of the masses , especially backsliding on the way forward and welfares of the masses prioritized a responsibility of the government.

* The situation where the government is adaptive to ignorantic opportunities of employments , failure to emulate to competitive advances that is prioritized to enhance economical values.

* The failure ot the rule of laws. This is a point of time where citizens are to comfortably living an equity undermining a stable political system of fairness and enforcements that is termed to align to rightful ness and proactive protective measures nomatter individual status quos.
I can verily say that this is a one reasons why American citizens are in a collectively measures proudly to say... God bless America because every of its citizens is valued and adherely recognized by its well coordinated governing system.

* The state of adamantly failure of the government of installing qualify facilities such as educations, healthcares and the opportunity of explorations through its masses (human capital) provisions to exhibitions of skillful creativities and the entrepreneurer possessions.

* Government inability to provide protective and management measures of its resources but living to chanel its dependance on foreign corporation to engineer its exploition the national leaning on final consumption but fails to understand the value and necessity of productions.

* The inability to create amenities that is to attract foreign investors and building reliabality resources in its national ground to befit the masses and reduces the engagement of its masses across foreign nations.

* Failure of its government to implementation of policies and humanity health assurance that is designed to bringing better living of today's and to the welfare of future tenses.

Nigeria could be said to be a regrettable nation by its citizens where the government and its economical teams are further to live leaning on appreciating abroads towards features they are capable to implement and install in its on nation.

If they think it is a mistake to be Nigerian. Then they mean it is a mistake God created them and kept them in Nigeria. No matter all the news and problems one face it shouldn't reach up to that extent of saying it is a mistake. I do not agree with anyone supporting this topic. Even the other countries they wish to go. Do they think it's easy over there? Most persons in other countries are there doing petti jobs and multitasking to meet up daily standard of living and pay their bills. I understand the pains, but we should try to mind the words we choose to use and believe that soon things will be better in the country and for you. No place without bad government, Inflation and security issues. The few thing i have learnt this few years is to focus on working on myself to get a better life at last.

Even though we don agree say we go put hand together where the power wey we wan use dey? How we go take join hands together? If dey ask me this question base on this matter I go say make we no fold hand dey wait for government say na him alone go do everything, if we wan make we avoid the OP question from our children na to stand up they hustle for that tomorrow, make we find something doing and to they pray to God to help us achieve our dream.

Make we dey even thank say naija wey we dey na blessings ooo because na the one wey we don experience we fit talk about, make we no dey compere naija with any country because even them get wetin dey bit them, if anyone no fit survive for Naija even though the born the person in dubai you no go still survive, to survive for this world na by hard work and pray no matter where you were born you will survive.

Dis matter get as e be and e dey painful to live in a country like dis and continue to see life as a hell where be say for other places dem don better and get good source of livelihood. But as a Nigeria person, we no suppose lose hope for our country because na we go still feel d impact of the economic pandemic wey we dey face. I still dey believe say Naija go change, I no know when or how e go take happen but I know say with time e go better. Even dis hardship wey we don face so far is enough to be hopeful of a change soon.

The reason wey make people think say na mistake be say na d way d people wey dey power dey handle Mata.
Nigeria government no dey like support beta beta ideas of the youths like innovations creativity, technology e.t.c dem no even get plans for the future leaders or even motivate people,wen some of dem politicians wan try dem go com dey do continent things like tribalism, religious differences ,dem no dey reason anybody,but  thank God say u dey alive ,God wey create u put for Nigeria no do mistake ,so think how u go help urself and others around u grow .
As u dey help urself na him make dey Bitcoin  now u no weti for government

Though Naija may be said to be corrupt, but it's still far better than others.  
Though our Naija may be said to have bad government who do not care about the welfare of it's citizens, but yet we still have people hustling to survive despite all odds.
So whatever people may be passing through in this country Naija, I don't think that's enough reason for people to say it is a mistake to be citizen of our dear nation, because nobody chose to be born in this nation, and as such, it is our sole responsibility to make things right where people are getting it wrong, instead of condemning or complaining, because I believe that with a collective effort, we can make this nation great again. So hence, it's never a mistake to be born in our dear nation.

Considering all the things that has been happening in this country nobody will be happy, we no that no country is perfect but at least the well being of there citizens should be there major priority but in the case of Nigerian government noting like that when we have all the resources that can take care of everyone but instead all they care for is only there pockets.

If you check very well you will see that millions of people are graduating from school every year and no employment nothing to empower the youth, when the reason for going to school is to become a successful man in the future and spending years in school you come back home to start from square one, who will not be angry at the government, we have not even talk about the high cost of living in the country were the average man find it difficult to have a two square meal a day.

There is no better country than your country, but because the Citizens are not being carried along by the government, it now seems like being a Citizen of Nigeria is a thing of regret, our politicians have turned Nigeria into a government only for the Rich people, and the poor masses are being neglected and not taken care of, and now their target is the middle class, with the current hike in fuel price would push a lot of middle class into poverty line so that they will have opportunity to do whatever they want without anybody questioning them.
However, despite all their efforts in trying to do this, they have even made a lot of people become self-dependent without having to rely on our government for survival.

People done too suffer, this matter they vex oh because the level of poverty they increase every day and the challenges of people they increase and what annoys me the most na the fact say people they endure am and have refused to talk to me if this things continues like this they will end up shutting the country down, make we clear our self because this exploitation is becoming to much from does big belle people.
