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.
