Nigeria’s big brother role to countries like South Africa, can not be swept under the carpet.
However, there are certain things that are...
required of a big brother that Nigerians find difficult to do even as easy as they are. Have a look at some of them below:
1. Abide By Traffic Rules And Regulations
The only time a Nigerian can be seen acting properly on the road is when constituted authority is on ground to punish offenders. Otherwise, a Nigerian driver could care less, if there is only a zebra crossing ahead on the road.
2. Stay Quiet
Back then in October 2014 when Lagos observed the ‘horn-free day’, Nigerians felt for once what is felt in other parts of the world. Nigerians enjoy making noise. Whether it is from a church speaker in the early hours of the morning or late at night, or a danfo or truck driver’s irritating honk or some very happy fellow shouting for no just cause, there is always something happening to disrupt the peace of the environment.
3. Use Of Waste Bin
It is very common to see a Nigerian throw trash by the road side or out of a moving vehicle without any sense of guilt. No matter how ugly it makes the environment, some Nigerians could care less and still go ahead and litter everywhere with trash.
4. Not Being Prudent
Nigerians can manage and manage when they are hustling but as soon as they hit it big, they forget everything about being prudent and become very extravagant, buying stuff with the intent to impress and intimidate. Even when on an important mission like pilgrimage abroad or official assignment, they turn it into another shopping adventure.
Any other ones? Please, you can add yours....
