WHY I LOVE BEING A NIGERIAN

BY WONAH ANDREW OGRI

I love Nigeria because she is arguably one of the few nations on earth who have survived what she has suffered.

Despite the gross abuse of leadership which has undermined her potentials for far too long, the resilience and faith,
and the wonderful adaptive skills of her people, rate her — maybe not as the most powerful,
but — as one of the strongest nations on earth. and again,  I love Nigerians because of the endowment of a unique intuitive cleverness in the average Nigerian.

That’s why, in many parts of the world, they almost always become suspects at first sight, until proven otherwise.

Sadly, the ones who happen to abuse that rare disposition often do so in a bid to survive, due to the tough survival “tug of war” largely between our middle and lower classes, pushing them into fraud (aka 419), drugging, and other messy stuff they unfortunately find themselves having to do to make ends meet.

Otherwise, when they catch the right chances, they never cease to amaze the world. we are talented, God fearing, always happy in the midst of pain, take ugly situation into drama. Nigerian are happy people. i'm proud to be a Nigeria.

Happy independence to Her
