what it means to be Nigerian

       
 
 
 Dear Nigerians,
                     Being Nigerian isn't a choice. Its fate and destiny. you do not have the right to choose where you come from...but you have the right to choose where you are heading to.
I love Nigeria despite everything that's going on politically, economically and in other segments of the country. Being Nigerian means you have to be happy despite all. I believe Nigerians are the happiest people in the world. Not withstanding the poor economic situation coupled with the extreme nature of the weather....Nigerians still have a reason to smile. Medically we do not record disorders relating to depression. Ask any Nigerian 'WHAT DO YOU REALLY DO WHEN YOU ARE SAD". Some would say laugh out my sorrows over a bottle of drink, few would say dance out my sorrow, others would say they go to religious places to put their problems on a supernatural altar. What I mean is that Nigerians do not have a reason to commit suicide or take depressants. what is that a Nigerian would say,. Nigerians can talk eh...They do not see a need to keep quiet over a mosquito bite..we just spill it. We have realized that time is too short to keep in things. Although so many Nigerians do not have the outlet to express what they really have to say...but they would talk sha.

We may not have all the money and  the connections. We may not be sure about our next meal but we choose to remain excited. The bad roads may claim lives but we travel for our business meetings. we may be regarded as under developed but we are happy. I am not saying we are satisfied..How would we be? but we choose to be hopeful. And If hope chooses to turn its eyes on us. We remain hopeful.

Depression sounds like a calm expression, but it is a word that has affected thousands of young people in the 21st generation....
