I almost titled my post "Catch Cruise" as I always take it to mean Nigerians being resilient and taking things as they come for their better good. Being resilient means "To be able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult situations". Nigerians have this amazing trait, a trait that many do not want to have but somehow our beloved country build that trait in them.
Our environment, our Government, our backgrounds, our dreams, our struggles
All that has made Nigerians build a trait not connected with DNA 😅

I've heard and seen countless people, including myself who have had their dreams crushed simply because of the country we found ourselves in, or people who keep struggling too hard until their last breath but never gave up, I've seen the ones who keeps praying for our country Nigeria when they are simply the least to do that considering what they are faced with.
The Resilience in Nigerians keeps them going even when the difficult times seem to be prolonging than usual. One way my fellow Nigerians have helped themselves in keeping this resilience strong and firm for themselves is by joking about almost everything serious matters in the country.
It may seem silly but it is one very rare way of building their resilient spirit and it is working because many are living well enough even in a hard situation because they always have this "E go better" mindset which I think it's a more than enough to keep one going and keep trying for better living.
It's in Nigeria you'll see her citizens laugh over incoming problem as if they won't be affected by it in anyway. Even if they are affected, they still laugh over how they will live through it, these amazing people get past difficulties in a very weird, silly but impressive way and I love them for that.
I know, I know other countries do have the spirit of resilience but I am saying they don't have it as much as Nigerians does or they don't display theirs like Nigerians do theirs. Nigerians are very strong, even the lazy ones among us will look strong in other countries, that's what I think and that is because of how being born and living our country has built us to be.
They keep surviving and it's funny how some of us don't know how strong we are but show really strong abilities of survival, we are very good example of the term "Resilience" and I'm proud of my country people for that.
Of course, there are many other things I love about my country. Thinking about it now, my country is an amazing country that I can't find anything to be ashamed of about her. Like many others will say, I'll repeat "E go better" because that is how things are usually... We get to the end of a problem when we are determined to instead of letting the problem see the end of us.
Our foods, our culture, our languages, our talents, our religion and most importantly, our name (Nigeria) are all among the things I love about Nigeria but I'll still end it with this... I love the Resilience
