Revealing the Nigerian mind

There is one person who has greeted more controversies more than any other citizen of the world. He is in fact a true citizen of the world because there isn't a country you won't find him.he is respected as he is distrusted ,popular as he is unpopular ,admired as he is feared . He is is a misery at home and a champion aboard .
He is a Nigerian! The most misunderstood citizen of the most misunderstood nation of the world . How else can I say it, I have been a Nigerian for over 30years and I still can comfortably give an accurate definition of who a Nigeria is beside a associating him with the geographical entity called Nigeria .in a 2015 interview by BBC of several Nigerian about the greatest thing about a Nigerian, the most recurrent comments were that an average Nigerian is happy and resilient .he is able to adapt to any form of challenge that comes his way.  If Nigeria's ranking as the 103rd happiest nation in the world in the 2016 UN report is anything to go by, I might be hesitant to agree to the notion of the average Nigeria being truly happy. A walk through the street of major cities like Lagos , Kano reveal that the average Nigerian is not happy.
Resilient yes, for a Nigerian never gives up. He will see to survive by what ever means necessary surmounting all forms of physical and  environmental huddles to make ends meet. I guess this is what account for their being able to survive in any country and excel. The average Nigeria is an opportunist always seeking out loop holes and taking advantage of situations to make quick money legally or otherwise . This leads to the big question, is a Nigeria attracted to criminal behavior;fraud, drug and prostitution by default ? This question will be explored in my next article
