From a Nigerian.

Nigerians are great people; forget all this third world country crap bring sprouted all over by news channels. Fake news as May my girl would see would say. I feel so much attention is placed on the negatives that we forget that...

The average Nigerian is opinionated, we have an opinion on everything and all things from toilet paper to crayfish brands. We don't forget to extend this courtesy to people too. Afterall, "we are just telling you the truth. It's for your own good".

The average Nigerian is nice. We give directions to the place we have never been with hand gestures. We pour water on someone who has fainted and beat a manhood thief on behalf of the owner of the stolen manhood. I know it's a lot to comprehend. We don't understand it too even though we circulate the video on social media. We are just nice.

The average Nigerian is a hustler. The yahoo boy too is hustling for a better life. We fake it till we make it. A rat poison seller can become a sky-level musician almost overnight.

The average Nigerian can package. We can package USB cord as a flash drive. We can sell pudding stuffed into an iPhone casing as iPhone 8. We can package an ordinary slang with no meaning and give to you as a club banger. We can take the average Idris and give you a badass drag barbie. That's why a bread seller would tell you it's today's bread, it would pass the squeezing test and you'd get home to see that your dog won't touch the bread with a ten-foot pole. All is packaging.

The average Nigerian is a patriot. We diss ourselves, diss our government but the day you open your mouth to join what doesn't concern you, that accelerator is going from 0 to 100 in split seconds. Our jollof rice is the sweetest. Forget that somebody cannot cook. We are allowed to say that, you aren't. Ask Ghana. Each country is unique in its own way but Nigerians? We Are The most Eclectic Of them all.
