NAIJA


It is said, if you are a deep person.Zealous ,passionate and enthusiastic. You have a vital prerequisite for what is takes to make most things click.

In Africa, this trait is very profound among people of Nigerian descent.Be they the Ibo ,Yoruba, the Hausa or any other factions.This guys come full throttle in all that they set their heart at.Nigerians are undisputably the most energetic and aggressive of Africans.

Right from the way they conversation.Be it the in their native languages or the pidgin English.Zeal is  very much on the surface.Hardly does a Nigerian quit on an argument.He will argue you to thirst ooh.Raising his voice when need be.Ulululating, and using all manner of expression to drive a point home.

Nigerians also happen to be very good in matters commerce.Citing the Dangotes to mention but a few.On the flip slide ,a select groupe will be found on the  rogue and fraudulent side.Like the famous "Yahoo boys" who from a remote location scammed the world of a kings ransom.Surfacing and vanishing online to share the spoil,and back to back.I bought a gadget from one and upto now I'm yet to figure out exactly why it doesn't work.

When they set their heart on film.My broda ooh.That's why we only have  hollywood,bollywood and who disputes nollywood as the most sought after.

On matters religion,Chiiiineeeeeke.Winners chapel Lagos branch had the biggest congregation in a single sitting worldwide last time I checked. And,with branches spilling over  Africa ,UK,USA and world over.

I recently watched a match against Bayelsea queens and Sunshine queens. And, during post match penalties ,the players and technical bench members immediately turned into prayers.They held hands and knelt.Petitioning for good tidings. I bet this happens only in Nigeria.

Their churches are also so well structured that some run football clubs.A good example is mfm football club which showcases in the national league.Religion is vital there. Nigerians are  great sportsmen too.

Based in the Muslim dominated west.Boko haram's atrocities are only mouth gaping.Like ,who does not know about 'bring back our girls now and alive 'campaign. The event a puzzle the planet is yet to unravel.Sometimes back there was MEND along the niger delta. Another outfit whose notoriety was  way way up.

And so on and so forth.Nigerians are the true representation of an African in his indigenous form. Pure,unadulterated by external ideologies,philosophies and altercations.Strength and zeal right in his genetic code.

Looking around, Nigeria seems to quite trendset for the rest of Africa.They appear to ambassador or link up for the rest of Africa.They will always be the first to set foot in territory new to the larger continent.Looking especially in the entertainment industry.So many of them also doing exploits in the diaspora as well in sports,business etc

There's so much positive  to copy paste from our Naija brodas.I mean, if you really are for something.Better nail your colours to the mast.Maybe in a different set up Nigerians can  be compared to Americans. The free, patriotic,sometimes abrasive,go getting world.A lot of parallelism being prevalent.

Arise oh compatriots.
