When you talk about Nigeria, there are certain things that the world already knows about us as a country both the good and also the bad things, and honestly, sometimes I don't even know whether to laugh or cry at these situations.
So see one good thing Nigeria is known for is our culture and entertainment, See ehn, Nigerians knows how to create joy from thin air, whether it is music, dance, food, or even our everyday wahala conversation, okay look at music for example , Afrobeats has carried nigeria's name worldwide the likes of Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido… these people have made the world dance like never before even our upcoming artists still burst brains, and you know the funny thing is that we don’t even stress ourselves to do too much, it is just inside us naturally,we as nigerians are vibe on their own.
Even our food , let's not even go there abeg,you see once jollof rice touches table like this, everybody respects themselves,it is only Nigerians that turn ordinary party to carnival, You know our energy is very contagious, and anywhere Nigerians go, you must feel that presence, so yes, the world definitely knows Nigeria for being full of life, talented and also culturally rich.
Now to the bad part of Nigeria.
The world also knows Nigeria for corruption, and as much as I would like to dodge this part, let us not just lie, it's kinda worst, sometimes things are so messed up that you begin to wonder who actually swear for this country, like seriously from government palava to small change level for daily life, everywhere you go, you go hear “something must drop.” and because of this, foreigners has tag Nigeria as the kind place where everything is just upside down, the norms have become abnormal.
But the thing is that, even though there is corruption, the people exaggerate alot sometimes, like say na only Nigerians dey do bad things, Meanwhile every country has their own kind of nonsense, it's just that our own is just too loud because the system is weak , and because of this bad image, it affects us in a lot of ways, see traveling outside has becomes stress, You say you are Nigerian, they assume you want to do scam them, You try to do business, people doubt you, even the innocent ones too suffer for this.
Sometimes I just wonder that if we actually fix a bit of things, then maybe Nigeria would make more sense than as it is now, because we have the talent, the energy, and the creativity, but the corruption just is just slowing everybody down.
So yes, we have stabilize the fact that Nigeria is known for our amazing culture and talent, and also for corruption and bad governance, Both are true, but the good is just as strong as the bad, and I really believe say if we can fix the system a little, then maybe this country will shock the world.
Because you know that Nigerians no dey carry last , except when government drag us back.
