    Nigeria has a population of over two hundred millions (200,000,000) people. Those FEW ones talking bad about Nigeria must be the failed and lazy ones among them. NO nation on earth rewards laziness. Yes, Nigeria as a country still has some issues to fix, but hang on, which nation on earth doesn't have issues to fix? Well done girl! Nigeria is a land of opportunity.

      Some people are just waiting for the government to come and baby-feed them or do everything for them. They complain too much. This lady left stable electricity, good roads, security proof life, etc in the UK and went to Nigeria to face the challenges even though she did not have the advantage of growing up there. Today she is successful, and tomorrow some people will say she got unfair support from the government or so? Good job Nigerians!

      I agree partially with your sentiment and appreciate the optimism, sometimes I do feel that way about Nigerians, that some may complain too much but that was mainly due to my ignorance and lack of understanding of the life of the average Nigerian. Today, I have equally the full respect and empathy for Nigerians who complain because they have realized and have noticed that there is a problem. Trust me, Nigerians are full of pride and very confident in themselves, so when they complain, things are bad.
      In total, we need people who are aware of problems and people who seek solutions. I think some Nigerians are hopeless and we need to continue to encourage them rather than point them out as being lazy.
      You see, this brilliant young lady had left Nigeria and was able to return with a different perspective. She gained more knowledge and experience in an environment where she had the opportunity to flourish. How many Nigerians have those opportunities?
      Only a few exceptional people can overcome the poor environment conditions in which they were raised, we should continue encourage them.

      Tell them Jerry. I just don't understand this notion, that we have to wait for the government to fix everything. Nigeria and Africa is changing economically and growing, and many of our youths, cannot see the mindboggling opportunities around them. I told my 2 young brothers, that there is no excuse. All they talk about is finding a job...or continue to stress me about giving them money. Yet, they are social media ALL day, just chatting and criticizing the government. I have explained to them, that they have more access today, (than when I was their age 30 years ago...when there was no internet, no cell phones, no such thing as globalization.) Every time I show them what Wode Maya, Miss Trudy and others are doing...they'll still make excuses. I don't know if they are just mentally lazy or have an entitlement syndrome.
