Nigerians are very religious.
Because of this inclination, Nigerians tend to be positive minded, however, the country still remains a tough one where life is generally on the rough side for over three quarters of the populace.
Everyday, Nigerians complain about the hardship in the country, what with the perennial electricity problem, crime, unemployment and poverty. Yet, on certain occasions, you may be privileged to watch a politician known to everybody as a dishonest crook praising God and telling the world that even though it is very obvious that he’s a crook, he is not really a bad man but a God serving born – again Christian or Muslim. Yet everybody knows he’s not.
Nigerians are gradually being pushed to the edge. But their positive and hopeful way of thinking helps them to push back the edge. This is the way that Nigerians have reacted to the hardship in the country. Many Nigerians have evolved into hopeful people. Hoping, each one, on their God to make things right again. Yet not a few of these hopeful ones still contribute to the general negative situation by a flaw or flaws in their character (e.g a secret cult boy who goes to Church regularly and even takes Holy Communion sometimes).
