NIGERIA, MY COUNTRY!!!
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Hmm... Nigeria, an African country, a place filled with Black people from different tribes, cultures, and religions, with different foods too.</p><p><br/></p><p>A place where wealthy Hausas are referred to as "Alhaji," while the less privileged are referred to as "Mallam."</p><p><br/></p><p>A place where jokes live. As much as we face a lot in this country, we never forget to make jokes that would crack you up. We Nigerians can turn anything into a joke. I mean, anything into a joke.</p><p><br/></p><p>A place filled with people who wear smiling faces to cover up their hardships. We never give up!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>What amazes me most about Nigerians is our spirit of adaptability. We adjust to anything, and we adjust quickly. I don't know if I should term this an advantage or a disadvantage. One characteristic of Nigerians that never ceases to amaze me is how easily we adapt. We are quick to move on.</p><p><br/></p><p>When a system changes and we're uncomfortable, we complain. But if nothing changes, we don't just wait. We find a way to survive, as long as it doesn't cost us our lives.</p><p><br/></p><p>Take power, for example. There was a time when part of Nigeria had no electricity for a whole month. Of course, we complained. But soon after, we adapted. People who bathed once a day started bathing twice to beat the heat.</p><p><br/></p><p>That, to me, is the greatest trait of Nigerians: ADAPTABILITY!!!</p>
