My fellow Nigerians, is this true?

    Just few days ago, I was telling someone that Nigerians know how to make a joke out of our bad situationship. Then I stumbled on an article in Quora that best articulates it.




So my people, help me judge this matter:

If they say Nigerians are among the happiest people on earth I don't think we will argue. An average Nigerian mentality is just cruise. People that make fun of their own misery. 

Humor is a gift you get for being a Nigerian, slightly higher than the line for insanity. I won't be wrong if I say it's our coping mechanism. Fun is a way we know how to keep on pushing and a way to look beyond our imperfect country. With how our country is if we don't laugh at life we will go mad.

Who turns a protest into a party? Nigerians

Who replys with ffb on their president’s post on Twitter? Nigerians

Who creates happiness out of nothing? Nigerians

Who turns every situation into a comedy? Nigerians.

Nigerians use banter and humor to hide how messed up we all are in this country.

Nigerians are warm, friendly, kind, fun, witty and merry. Despite all the troubles , all our pains. We are sensitive to all the Issues we have and our heart silently scream in pain. Yet we still force a smile and make jokes out of everything.

If only we have good leaders, Nigeria would have become the best place on earth.

*True or false?

I still believe in Nigeria. It is sad how much people seem to be suffering and smiling at the same time. But I have learned to look up to Gof and not the government. The system is clearly flawed, but God will always make a way for His own.
