Nigeria get better



A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to explain some of the reasons why she believes Nigeria will never get better despite agitations and efforts by some citizens to make the most populous black nation a better place.

Perhaps you have been inundated by calls from different quarters, citizens and the ruling class calling for a better nation, prayers and fasting from religious leaders who are beseeching God to do a thorough refurbishment of the country, well, we are not a carrier of bad news, but a popular Twitter user @Yettyclassy is here to burst your bubbles, don’t expect anything to change for better except there is an attitudinal change, she said.

On the other hand you may have been hearing the cliche that Nigeria can never get better, Yetty seems to align with that saying and has explained why.

Contrary to popular opinion, she didn’t put the blame on the ruling class alone, the Twitter user said the citizens are also responsible for the rot that would never make Nigerian a better place.

She highlighted a lack of empathy, greed, selfishness among many other bad attitudes among the citizens and the ruling class as some of the reasons why she made the damning verdict.

She tweeted:

“Nigeria can never get better. I’m not being pessimistic but it’s just the truth. From the people in power, to the elite, to the middle class, to the poor, to the average individual. Everyone just wants to take advantage of each other. The average Nigerian is selfish and greedy.

“When something goes wrong, you start hearing “so far it didn’t affect me and my family, I’m fine”. No empathy whatsoever.

“The average Nigerian is not willing to follow due process. From those that jump queue, to those who eat and trash stuff on the road. Little things like this go a long way.

“The system is twisted. Right from the top, to our various government parastatals, to private companies, to even our homes.

“You have people who clean inside their houses, pack dirt inside nylon and come to the mainroad to drop it. You have people who eat groundnuts inside a car and toss it on the road.

“Even those that you expect that because they are educated they should have sense, they are the ones you’d see doing these things.

“The average Nigerian wants to oppress another. You see them shouting about oppression and the minute they have a chance they start to oppress others. Small pencil that they start driving they start to brag at those who don’t have a car yet. Or splash water on those trekking.

“Even this ban. People who had cars were insulting those who didn’t. Saying we should go and hustle so we can buy cars so we won’t be complaining about the ban.

“All I’m saying is before you open your mouth to criticize the country, know that a country is made up of the people in it. Look at yourself as an individual, impact positively on your immediate environment and it starts getting better from there.

“You get paid more than you should, you pocket it, you find money somewhere that should be returned, you keep it for yourself, someone chooses to be good and returns money, the person gets insulted that he’s a fool.

“The system that should reward someone who does a great thing greatly ends up giving them meagre rewards which in turn makes them regret why they were truthful in the first place.”
