One of the comments I see when people talk about Nigeria (for instance, the car driver) is their desire to leave. I would be interested if people could comment below.
Hahaha, this an awesome but funny question, the country Nigeria is facing difficulty because of bad governance. This bad governance results to a partial government who favor some set of his people and make this tough for the other set of people. The problem with Nigeria are much and can't be explained in a comment section.
Thanks for the response @starrchris. Could you resteem this? The more information that I have on a topic, the smaller chance of offending someone.
How does this favouritism (bad governance) affect you and the people around you?
I never use my phone except for security purposes so I only turn it on when I need to log in to certain sites.
Thank you for your response, @ijelady. I appreciate it. Would you resteem my post? The more I know about a topic, I hope to prevent accidentally offending someone.
I have been very fortunate that the Nigerian people I have met have been very amiable. I can understand your frustration, though. I read your LOOKING BACK 6 YEARS AGO post.
I am glad you had the support of your Jehovah's Witness community. We were close friends with a family who were members. We attended the marriage of one of the daughters in 1978. I was eighteen at the time and carried my sister into the hall. She was ill with leukemia, and it was the last event she attended.
While bad things happen and bad people may take from you, they cannot take away your capacity to love.
How old are you now
I will resteem the post also on steemit a post is counted as quality post when it up to 250 to 300 words hope you know, please make it more fun in your next post i love the idea
I was born in 1959; depending upon the year, I am 62.
You have fallen into a fallacy trap. My posts aren't of quality, no matter how many words they are. Fun is difficult. At best, my words are slightly whimsical, as you can read in my article about Immigration to Canada.
The people of northern Canada have a custom of erecting something called an Inukshuk.
I consider my ramblings on Steemit to be my Inukshuk. Possibly in 100 years, some distant descendant will read my thoughts and questions and get a sense of who I am. Occasionally I get to slip in my pride for my children.
The day I saw the value of the Nigerian economy, how robust it is and what the government use this funds to do, like burying them in soakaway, sending them to outside bank account... That's the day I knew that nigerian has been marked for all the negative thing that can happen to any county
Thank you for your insight, @lovveday. As a favour, could you resteem this post?
I can relate to your frustration with your government. Canada is going through something similar. There is a charity in Canada headed by two brothers who are friends with the Prime Minister and his family. This charity employs the Prime Minister's mother, brother and wife to be motivational speakers. The Canadian government almost gave the charity $1 Billion to run a particular project before the corruption came to light. An example of what they would do is accept donations to build schools in Africa. They had enough donations to build over 900 schools in Kenya. They only built around 300. They would take pictures of schools with a plaque naming the donor. They would then switch it for another plaque naming a different donor. In some cases, they did this four times.
I hate talking about nigeria, in my mind it's not worth the stress... It unfortunate I live in nigeria and I school in nigeria.... I just don't try to understand my life as a nigerian
Am not say I would be better off at other countries, but am not happy with my country

I will post something later about immigration to Canada.
Bad Governance is The only problem in Nigeria apart from that we're hard-working people! Hey I enjoy your touring video, thanks for sharing with us
There is one other problem in Nigeria. So many "gorgeous and dignified" women.
I would give a thumbs up at so many of their dresses I would need to put my thumb in a sling for a week.
Oh my goodness! Like seriously 😳 I'm speechless right now, thank you so much for your nice commendations I really appreciate
