FOOLISH THINGS NIGERIANS DO                                                   

Even though Nigerians are very intelligent people with all kinds of very beautiful qualities that are listless, but I will want to share some very foolish things we do:

Marry a foreigner for residency: I saw a 28 year old Nigerian guy the other day pose with a 61 year old western lady with the caption" the love of my life", I almost could not stop laughing. Why do we enjoy using people? Thank God these people are becoming wiser, they could marry you but residency will certainly not come without you sweating your life out

Leave your Nigerian wife to suffer in Nigeria while you travel abroad to hustle immediately after the wedding: I see many of our ladies suffer so much while their husbands abandon them here to go through the rigours of pregnancy alone. Most times I do not feel for the ladies because they are foolish enough not to know better. Most times the man will come maybe once in two years. But I will tell you, your marriage starts when you eventually begin to live together

Decision to go by land Abroad: Whether you like it or not, it is cheaper, safer, better and neater to go by air abroad. Can't you see the horror that happens on the high sea or do you think going through the Sahara desert is fun? Sometimes I wonder why we are so stupid? Must you go abroad? How many houses did Jesus build, and how many cars did he buy? Materialism is the opium of a sinking generation. Why can't you seek better ways to "hammer''?

Expecting too much from a government: Every government is a reflection of the nature of the people. The best way to see yourself is to look at the government of the day. Can't you sincerely count how many people you have disappointed? Have you kept all your promises? Why do you think a government can solve all your problems in 4-5 years? No matter how sincere a government might be, no government has the capacity to make every citizen happy.

Give up on your country: Your contribution is what makes your country healthy. Great people make up a great nation. When you give up on your country, you incapacitate the potentials of the nation and it will never get better. Most of us Nigerians are too pessimistic, which could probably be the reason we hardly have any good thing to offer
