Why life in nigeria is very difficult ?
I was there twice and swore I would NEVER go back againi. The corruption is ten times worse than it is in the United States. The average citizen is shaken down by every official of the Government. The Nigerian militaryk can back up to our house with a truck.. tell you to stand aside and strip your house and you, as a citizen can do NOTHING about it. It is a horrible place to live.
What do foreigners think of Nigeria and its people?
I am a Nigerian and I do not claim to be able to read minds of foreigners. But I shall draw my points from interactions with foreign engineers that often visit to work in oil and gas, some Indians, Pakistanis and Lebanessed that I am acquainted with.(1) Nigerians are corrupt, especially the government officials. So the best way to do business and ‘pass bureaucratic bottlenecks’ is to offer bribes.(2) You do not need to pay the correct amount of tax in Nigeria for businesses done. Since the money would, probably not enter the government treasury anyway, it is better to ‘negotiate’ with tax officials and pay tokens. Lots of Indians, Pakistani and Lebanesse do that TO MY KNOWLEDGE.(3) For every products released into the world market, especially Drugs and ICT equipments, there are always the ‘Nigerian version or edition’: cheap, inferior and poorly packaged with little or no quality assurance inspection. Foreigners know that almost all inspection agency officials in Nigeria are only interested in their pocket anyway. Just bribe the right officials and your products is cleared to enter the country.(4) Most Nigerians are out to cheat or rob you. And if you allow them into your country, there you just let in a thief, a fraudster and a rapist.You can add your own BUT THESE THINGS ARE VERY PAINFUL TO THE MINORITY SINCERE AND HARD-WORKING NIGERIANS.Statistics may have condemned all Nigerians as criminals, especially since our government officials are not making things better with their shameless conducts outside the country, the fact remains that there are still some Nigerians that are good, reliable and God-fearing.
