Certain Things Nigerians Do That Might Never Stop

This article aims at highlighting certain traits unique to Nigerians. Some of which are;

Excitement When Nepa Brings Light

For the longest period, Nigerians have always expressed their joy once power is restored in their area. You might hear cheers from both young and elderly. When the electricity is turned off, discontent is expressed with the same energy. This is a long-standing tradition that has seeped deep into the roots of Nigerians, and I don’t see it going away anytime soon. It’s really nice to watch folks appreciate the beauty of having their power returned to their homes.

Snatching of Ballot Box at Elections

I am convinced that even if Nigeria becomes the most civilized society in the world, vote box stealing and low-life thuggery would continue, as they do in other civilized countries. The only difference is that in Nigeria, thuggery is frequently publicized in order to highlight the ignorance and myopic mindset of individuals who carry out such acts, whereas in other nations, such activities are carried out in order to protest a poor administration.

Making Jokes Out of Real Life Challenges and Situation

Nigerians are the most joyous people on the earth; our enthusiasm and love for life is unparalleled, and it has earned us worldwide acclaim. Being one of the poorest countries with the most valuable natural resources in enormous quantities is a conundrum that has yet to be solved, along with weak leadership, but as a nation living through problems, adapting, and trying to be joyful despite all this hardship has become a defense mechanism for Nigerians. We are now known for making laughs out of real-life circumstances and obstacles, as evidenced by the development of memes and social media skits, the majority of which include our physical, political, emotional, and psychological struggles.

Dragging People on Social Media

Nigerians are largely opinionated individuals who have strong feelings about everything on the planet and are eager to share their feelings with the rest of the world. People may now freely express themselves, their thoughts and feelings, and perhaps react to the thoughts of others, thanks to social media. It is a thing in my beautiful nation Nigeria to drag somebody on social media (call someone out over their post over a contrary belief or disbelief) and I don’t see it going away anytime soon.

Being Over-Religious and Pragmatic

Nigerians are known for being the most devout people, allowing religion to cloud their judgment and thinking, as well as alter their emotions. It can be downright annoying at times, but most of us can attest to it, and I don’t see it going away anytime soon.
