Nigeria can never get better. I’m not being pessimistic but it’s just the truth.

From the people in power, to the elite, to the middle class, to the poor, to the average individual.

Everyone just wants to take advantage of each other.

The average Nigerian is selfish and greedy

When something goes wrong, you start hearing “so far it didn’t affect me and my family, I’m fine”. No empathy whatsoever.

The average Nigerian is not willing to follow due process. From those that jump queue, to those who eat and trash stuff on the road. Little things like this go a long way.

The system is twisted. Right from the top, to our various government parastatals, to private companies, to even our homes.

You have people who clean inside their houses, pack dirt inside nylon and come to the mainroad to drop it.

You have people who eat groundnuts inside a car and toss it on the road.

Even those that you expect that because they are educated they should have sense, they are the ones you’d see doing these things.

The average Nigerian wants to oppress another. You see them shouting about oppression and the minute they have a chance they start to oppress others. Small pencil that they start driving they start to brag at those who don’t have a car yet. Or splash water on those trekking.

Even this ban. People who had cars were insulting those who didn’t. Saying we should go and hustle so we can buy cars so we won’t be complaining about the ban.

All I’m saying is before you open your mouth to criticize the country, know that a country is made up of the people in it. Look at yourself as an individual, impact positively on your immediate environment and it starts getting better from there.

You get paid more than you should, you pocket it, you find money somewhere that should be returned, you keep it for yourself, someone chooses to be good and returns money, the person gets insulted that he’s a fool.

The system that should reward someone who does a great thing greatly ends up giving them meagre rewards which in turn makes them regret why they were truthful in the first place.

I’ve been getting lots of reaction from this thread. A lot of people are blaming the government, read critically please. Someone even insinuated that so far the government doesn’t care, then he shouldn’t care. That’s a wrong mentality please.

You shouldn’t wait for the government or anybody to tell you before you do the right thing. But because there are people who don’t know the right thing until there are rules enforcing them and huge penalties for breaking them that’s why you have the government.

It’s still an individual thing. Those we elected in the government are among us too. So if everyone has the selfless mindset we wouldn’t have any issues.

Who knew that my thread would be so useful? The healthcare that they abandoned and squandered the money is what they have no choice but to use now.

They still put thousands of lives at risk by not doing what is right since.

This Funke Akindele case made me realize that the right thing can be done if the people in authority want to. They just chose not to do the right thing for selfish reasons.

Which still comes down to Greed,refusing to be responsible and accountable the major issue we have in this country.

I always wonder why whenever Nigerians leave the country, they behave themselves. They don’t run red lights, they don’t park just anywhere, they don’t dump refuse just anywhere, they queue properly and follow due process but as soon as they get back it’s back to their old ways.

The average Nigerian wants to blame the government for everything. They never want to take responsibility for anything. Same Nigerians that love nepotism are the ones that would cry and say the government are bad.

Same Nigerians that want us to apologize to a defaulter...

...because someone else defaulted isn’t being penalized for it.

Same Nigerians that chant with confidence that “let me get to that level in government, I will go and chop my own”.

A country where killers are given priority over regular citizens to be registered with NIMC. A country where they don’t care about the wellbeing of their citizens.

A country where looters can get extradition to another country without any problems after misappropriation and embezzlement of funds.

We have youths being paid to tweet in favour of SARS. YOU CAN SEE THE VIDEOS OF THEM TERRORIZING YOUTHS, GOING TO THEIR HOUSES WITHOUT WARRANT, COLLECTING AND EXTORTING MONEY THEY DIDN’T WORK FOR BUT YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO COLLECT MONEY TO TWEET IN THEIR FAVOUR. HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

They are freezing accounts of #EndSARS “promoters”

All for what!!! For demanding for a better country and leadership!! The idiots who were hoarding indomeen, the politician who shot at protesters, that sars Nwafor guy no one has been arrested but citizens have died!!!

There was a Massacre!!!! Yet no one has been held accountable!! And yet this is supposed to be a “Democracy”

I’m livid!! Refer back to the first sentence of this thread!!!

I keep adding to this thread. Imagine campaigning for a brand that has no respect and regard for their customer's safety. Omo @Boltapp_ng if you have any integrity at all you'd start by posting an official statement apologizing and stating everything you would do to fix up.

You don't address customer's complaints,you have no rigorous system in place when employing your drivers, your drivers assault passengers. Instead of fixing up you roll out useless discounts and pay influencers to say your app is safe to use. HOW?

I’ll keep updating this thread

People are saying taking someone’s finished product, ripping off the name and packaging, repackaging it and selling as if it’s theirs is right and so far the initial seller is making money it doesn’t matter.

Ewo!! We are not ready

Oh well. Heavily armed forces for peaceful protesters. When there was a clash at Obalende we didn’t see any official in sight. To top it all there was a police station just where the clash happened. Saying “fire for fire” for unarmed peaceful protesters.

If at this point you think there’s hope for Nigeria you’re on your own. In shaa Allah I will leave this place. I won’t raise my kids here. No way.
