Why are Nigerians so proud??

[Emeka Okibe]

Nigerians are not cocky and tricky.We are just smart.

[Howard Ca]

I DID RATHER BE SMART AND PROUD THAN PRIMITIVE AND STUPID.WHO CARES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK BE LIKE, I WANT TO BE ME OKAY!

[Chizobam]

Nigerians are proud because they have contended with their ability to survive any situation. They believe in hard work and could do any thing to survive if given a chance. We are not afraid of challenges of life.

I don't know why men of the same color(Mostly Black) hate one another because if inferiority complex. Nigeria is a great nation with perculia people among other countries in african continent, that is why we are being henvouis. In regards to education, nigeirans are numberr 1 in africa even some white nations. We are highly talented in every area of life envdevors, that is why we could resist challenges and succeed among others. In every nation all over ther world their's some criminals and at the same time responsible elite. God has made nigerians above every oppression from every aspect of life. My advice to other african brothers/sisters is to chose the good attitude of nigerians(education,love,chall enges/moral values) and let the negetive aspect of our people dies in grave, because everyone has is own negetivity in this existence on mankind.

Why do you hate Nigerians? try to be a man of good values and a blessing to others but not to jelouse of your dear african brothers/sisters ok!. With your previouse comments about Nigerians, it shows that you never like anything about nigerians but believe it or not, nigeiria potentials made white men to respect africa nations. If their were no wealth and education among nigerians , no one in all over the world will recognise values of a black nations. Meanwhile dont be a negetive thinker about yourself but try to work hard to succeed and become an critical thinkers/achiever like Nigerians.

Every black criminal immigrant always claims to be nigeria why, because nigeria country is most populous in african nation. Criminals exist every where ok. Crucked and tricky people exist even before the writting of the holy scripture (Bible). Even you, search your heart and say Yes am clean! right then , your own concience will jugde you instantly. We ALL need to change and become Gods own people, thats if you believe in God. Start your moral inducement from your house-hold and let see what our world will be.

Being a Nigerian is an honour...we have everything....just that Army mismanaged it for so long...but we will get there....We dont care what others say...We are great people!!

[Rasta Kingsdonn Ezeoffia]

I have noticed for long how many Africans hate to see Nigerians.
Though i have not heard the real reason for that. I kept thinking what the whole Africa will look like if theer was no Nigeria to open the eyes of many brothers and sister. I don't surport something bad or criminals, but who are the angels on this earth? I will want those Naija haters to tell me one. Brothers please wake up so we may regain our lost paradise, than talking like fools in this 2006.

Actually you( the ones that think we tricky and cocky) are wrong. I cant speak for all Nigerians but I can speak for myself by one simple quote
"No idea orignal theirs nothing new under the sun its not what you do but how its done what you base life on material,women and large paper that means you inferior not major".-Nasir jones-

[Sam -London]

I'm sure you guys are the most educated of the lot on the African continent because it manifests in your sloppy basic English grammar.

[joliaya- Canada]

let anybody talks whatever they like. I beilive if 'they' that do not like NIgeria were given another chance, they will surely want to be a NIgeria. It's just jealousy. Not all Nigerian are bad. At least I know myself so are thousands of others.
God will help us

God bless nigerians in this site. God has lifted you higher, so that your enemy could not find you. We are invisible before this guys, becos they are full of negetivities. Nigeria we hale thee! if you people think nigerians are proud people; You need to go back to college and became proud also ha ha ha.

[Atinuke Eniola]

Well well well. Why the Inferiority complex. We all know that Nigerians are the best. There is no contest. I will live a Nigerian and I will die a Nigerian, if there's recarnation, i will be re-born as a Nigerian.

[Kabs]

I am Nigerian and proud to be one however I am afraid to say that at times Nigerians can sound a bit cocky and proud. This is certainly not Gods will for us. I think we are a blessed nation but we should use our God given talents to promote unity and love amongst the African continent and indeed the world.I must also say that the majority of Nigerians are law abiding hard working people, it is therefore wrong to stereo type all Nigerians as crooked.I think every nation in the world is special and my hope is that one day we will all learn to serve God rather than money.The love of money is the root of all evil. Adios

I think you should pay more attention to finding out what your purpose is in the world rather than boasting of how much you earn and how many degrees you have because we are accountable to God for the time, talent and every other blessings he has showered upon us, and God only blesses us so we can be a blessing unto others.We all came into this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing, so please forget about your ability and focus more on your avalability and you will know true riches.

PRIDE as it relates to personal behaviour is negative.Who in the world will not want to be proud of a blessed and glorious nation? When people are not proud to be named with their country, suspect, something is wrong. What I feel is that those that allege pride are simply surfering from inferiority complex. I sound loud for all to hear, the best place for the survival of the black person in the whole world is NIGERIA. Let all blacks be proud of Nigera as it is today the most independent nation on the continent. My plea to my compatriots all over the world is that wherever we find ourselves we should remember that our actions and behaviours have impact on the image of Nigeria, positive or negative.

niegerians are very good in everything they do, is not that they are tricky they are smart and i belive in my fellow nigerians no matter where they are, they are proud and thats why i like them [chocho] USA NEW JERSEY.
