WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BEING NIGERIAN

Nigeria as a country has its ups and downs. There are things that make us proud and things we are not so proud of. As a Nigerian, if you do not focus on the positive things you'll most likely be sad your whole life.

Nigeria is a really blessed country if you take out the bad governance and the fact that the system doesn't work. We have a lot of other good things that make Nigeria a good place to be.

What I love most about being Nigerian is our spirit. Most of us Nigerians grew up in the most unfavourable conditions. We watch how things are done in other parts of the country and wish we'd just be able to experience that in our country.

However, despite these factors we still thrive. We always find a way, one thing the government has been unable to do is break our spirit. That is why when we go out there into other worlds we always stand out.

Another thing I like about being Nigerian is our sense of humour. Granted we had to develop that as a means of survival but it's there and it's beautiful. Nigerians always find something to laugh about even in the ugliest situations.

There's that desire to just put everything off and laugh it off. It has helped get through the worst situations, just finding something to lighten everyone's mood.

What I also like about being Nigerian is our diverse cultures. We have so many cultural practices in the country even though I , as a Nigerian, do not know everything regarding some cultures.

The fact that each culture is given its own respect regardless of their practice is beautiful. Even when you're not familiar with the entirety of the culture, the people who know are more than happy to show you the way.

There are so many other reasons I love my country. If only we could take out the factors holding us back, Nigeria will be among the top countries to be living in. I hope one day we are able to overcome that and achieve our full potential as a country.

Thanks for stopping by ❤️
