I reflect a lot on our ideological design, as a people. Nigerians are morally bankrupt, culturally deficient and rooted in faux elitism.
This is why some markets exist for us, because they can take advantage of that shameless insecurity - and I genuinely don't think the reason is poverty.
I've visited other poor countries. These countries do not see cars beyond what they are, a means a transportation. They don't see restaurants beyond what they are. They don't see dates beyond what they are.
Something fundamentally is wrong with us.
For us, it isn't even enough that we succeed - it is important that other fail, or don't succeed as much as we do. It is important for us to have an edge other others. It is such a sick attitude.
Person A has one house. Person B has two houses. It isn't enough that they both have roof over their heads - Person B innately subclasses Person A.
You should also to hear from a Nigerian gym goer that you're not "man enough" because you don't bench as much as he does. ๐

Who did this to us?
