Nigeria seems to live ane of the most misconstrued countries inwards the world, amongst hence much bad press.
And many select to view solely what they take away keep been programmed to view past times the media. Having lived together with traveled to over xx countries across the world, I tin give the axe confidently say most people volition live pleasantly surprised close Nigeria if they always were to visit.
Let me address those specific topics that would probable desire to decease along people from living or visiting Nigeria:
1. Boko Haram:
The media makes it audio similar the Boko Haram guys take away keep their flags hoisted on every street together with corner of the country. I take away keep traveled pretty much to most states inwards Nigeria, including the northern states together with I take away keep never in ane lawsuit been remotely closed to whatever Boko Haram insurgency.
Their activities ‘were’ express to a few local governments together with take away keep right away been drastically reduced further.
2. Security:
I take away keep walked the streets of Sao Paolo, Bucharest, Johannesburg, Delhi amongst equally much trepidation equally I would when walking inwards certainly places inwards Lagos.
If that makes y'all intend "But I tin give the axe see those places", hence Nigeria should non live a concern. If y'all discover the basic safety rules similar inwards whatever of those cities, hence y'all volition live fine.
I visited amongst a one-time CEO (Swiss) of a multinational inwards Nigeria who lived hither for to a greater extent than than xx years (and fifty-fifty opted to larn the Nigerian passport) together with I was glad, precisely non surprised, when he told me that for the xx years of his stay, he was never robbed together with never barbarous sick.
Which brings me to the 3rd point...
3. Diseases together with sickness:
If y'all even hence intend nosotros are walking close amongst scabs on our peel together with diseases floating around inwards the air, hence y'all postulate to start watching a unlike TV channel.
I am inwards no agency suggesting that Nigeria is rid of primal tropical diseases similar malaria, precisely take away keep your shots earlier visiting the province together with y'all volition live fine. I doubtfulness Nigeria volition live the commencement province y'all volition live needing to take away keep some shots earlier visiting.
4. Corruption:
Please spare me this! I take away keep seen corruption inwards pretty much all the countries I take away keep visited. While I do non together with volition never condone corruption inwards whatever form, I beg to disagree that this volition goal y'all from visiting the country.
It's a menace inwards the province together with I'm glad nosotros hold upwards take away keep a leader who is making some efforts to curtail it. I take away keep seen lawlessness at varying shades together with sizes across the globe together with what makes countries similar Singapore together with Switzerland unlike is that they take away keep rules together with policies that depository fiscal establishment friction match this. Underneath, nosotros are even hence all the same!
Global multinational companies take away keep constitute ways to operate together with uphold their integrity inwards the province hence if y'all gave inwards to corrupt practices together with blame the province for it, y'all are equally much a business office of it!
***
People solely always speak close the negatives, precisely what of the fun-loving, energetic Nigerians y'all volition meet?
What of the highly contagious entrepreneurial spirit y'all volition find?
What of the resilience the people take away keep built over time?
What of the agency nosotros are navigating our immature years equally a patch together with edifice a futurity for ourselves?
What of our burgeoning amusement manufacture taking the globe past times shock?
What of the brilliant minds nosotros take away keep exported all over the world?
And, real importantly, what of our amazing plate of Jollof rice?
Summarily, Nigeria is a beautiful province amongst unlike shades of experience.
Your conviction close Nigeria volition alter non when y'all larn inwards in the province precisely when y'all board the flying together with view the disclose of non-Nigerians flying in.
You volition hence inquire yourself what they all are visiting for if it's all doomsday hither equally popularly hinted! Sumber http://www.dnbstories.com/
