Green, white, green. The colour that signifies unity among 250 ethnic groups, a symbol of peace and Agricultural prosperity. unfortunately the prime days of Nigeria is over has the economy of our beloved country is tearing apart, but this doesn't spoil the fun in Nigeria, here we will explore the most hilarious and annoying moments in ‘the giant of Africa'.
The iPhone pandemic;
No doubt Nigerians love things flashy, some are even obsessed with class, fame, ladies and money, an iPhone is not exempted. most average Nigerian youths would do anything just to get an iPhone, this makes the Apple product the most sort after phone brand in Nigeria. I believe I've always known the apple brand, but I first got to know about the iPhone way back in 2018 when the popular song ‘legbegbe' by Mr real was released, I believe @HappyBoy would know a lot about the song. since then the iPhone disease has spread throughout the country, a few timid youths even rank someone's wealth with the type of iPhone they have.
Grass,grass and grass;
Traveling in Nigeria by road has never been fun for me, especially when aboard a public transport. Well it was fun when I was younger, but with more frequent voyage via the road I have gotten so use to seeing the same thing over and over again to the point of irritation. since I'm From the Southwestern part of the country forests and bushes are common, this bushes could drive you crazy if you keep staring at them, it's going to be all green and green till you get to your destination.
Give the police an handshake;
Nigeria has always ranked top among things relating to Africa and corruption is one of them. every Nigerian traveller is aware of the powerful handshake and love that exists between public transport drivers and the police, this unconditional love is called bribery. Drivers literally strech their hands out of their vehicles and pass out Money to any available police officer at a police check point, but this doesn't necessarily apply to all police check points in Nigeria. That handshake guarantee them being free from vehicle inspection.
NEPA;
NEPA stands for National Electric Power Authority, it was a organisation controlling power supply in Nigeria before it was changed years back, but it's name still lives in the lips of every Nigerian. Electricity supply in Nigeria is so poor we could go for weeks with out power and yet get an outrageous bill, basically almost all average Nigerian has a power generator that requires fuel to work, I don't see this home friendly machine leaving the country anytime soon, has of the time I wrote this article it's been 10hrs since the last power supply.
Have you been paid yet;
at the end of every month we expect to receive our salaries form our various working places, because this is what is due to us right? Well, in Nigeria most workers actually have to pray hard just to get paid for their months work. Its quite fustrating and painful.
Every youth is a musician;
there's no doubt entertainers in Nigeria actually make a lot form their works, now most youths want to be like them. ITs easy right get a script a studio and then you are good to go, I guess they haven't heard that music isn't for everyone. What makes their aspiration funny is the fact that most of them lack the talent to pursue their goal in the music industry. Has entertainers it's all about talent, patience, and hard work, I'm thinking of releasing a music soon I guess I would have to feature @Princessbusayo for this also my pal @QueenRay.
Do you have a title?
almost every Nigerian seeks a title, they've made various occupations even a title, it's hard to tell who's title is worth it this days in Nigeria. we have the honourables I guess this is the most popular title out there, the pastors, the chiefs, the doctors(they haven't been to a medical school or attained a doctorate degree in the university but well, if they say they are doctors they are doctors), the profs ( not a single ounce of knowledge profitable to man kind is uttered from them, yet they are the profs, lastly the commissioners, note that most of them do not have any reason to call themselves these it's just to feel important.
Nigeria will always remain our dear country no matter the hardships, it will always remain where our memories lie don't you agree @Fexonice1 . there are lots of things to point out I wish @Kristofferquincy could give us more insight.
special thanks to @Kennysplash for the sponsorship my very first sponsor. Although I've not been active for about a week due to exams.
Mr. Real's song was the street anthem back then. Everywhere you go to ,you will hear it blaring from speakers. I was even talking to my friend few days back and he mentioned something similar to this. He said it seems iPhone is the only phone we have out there in the market now.😂 because the way people are going crazy over it.
