Nigerians have always played the blame game. Government and citizens alike. We blame the president, we blame his vice, the Senate and Senators, Governors and the local government.
Aside the government we blame rich family members, we are waiting for that uncle or that aunty to do this or that. We are never thinking in our capacity for ourselves, if we do, just very few of us. We wait for government intervention on even proper disposal of our waste in the right other at designated places of disposals. We are like the proverbial young man whose father married for him and he kept waiting for the father to impregnate his wife and on his dying bed he blamed his father.
We have not realized that it's not about what Nigeria can do for you but what you can do for Nigeria. It is so every where, don't point fingers at any country.
We are the ones exploiting ourselves, we enslave our fellow Nigerians, we over work and over use them while under paying them, when they die at 40, we blame the government for making the nation harsh.
We have refused to obey our own laws and constitution, we are all lords and therefore above the law, but wait until we are victims, then we blame the system for not being just.
In the capacity of our economy, one will think Nigeria will experience a decline in baby production, but since there is no OPEC to regulate, we are all determined to out do our forefathers, who had twenty and pushed them all into farming. Our neighbor has eight and therefore we must pass our neighbor. And when we can't train them, we blame the government for poor policy and child care support.
We go to China and request for a substandard product, so we can make massive gains. Wait until we buy one fake product and we will lament on how much corruption has eaten deep into the political system.
Our lecturers want to be sorted, if you cannot afford it, cash or kind, then you must fail. Yet he will join and complain Nigerian youths are unemployable. How can they be when the real graduates are still in queue waiting to graduate from various universities.
Politicians will embezzle money meant for one health care program or the other, and when they become ill they run to one foreign hospital for medical care and blame the lack of quality medication in Nigeria.
It's high time we rethink our methods in Nigeria and realize that no one is coming to build Nigeria for us, if we don't.
Nigeria is depending on you.....don't depend on Nigeria.
