Who Are Nigerian's??



Nigerians are survivors, one of the happiest people on earth despite her travails and life of hardship and lack. A typical Nigerian can be very creative, positively and sometimes negatively ranging from corruption within the country , to online fraud popularly called 419
   Nigerian is a country in west Africa which comprises of 36 states and a federal capital territory in Abuja. It's official language is English, with 3 major tribes namely Hausa , IBO, Yoruba and many other languages. They are referred to as " The Giant Of Africa" owning it to its large population and economy. 
   A typical Nigerian has the ability to adapt to a constant changing economy and environment. Which is why you find  Nigerians in almost every country in the world and thriving. Like the likes of Nigerian born Dr Osatohanmwen Osemwengie who has been an integral member of American Armed Forces, building drones for the United State Army. Chimamanda Adichie , one if the most recognized writer today is also a Nigerian to mention but a few.
   Religion plays a large role in Nigeria. Be it Christianity, Moslem or even traditional beliefs. A typical Nigerian is very religious and they strongly believe in God and his existence. Its a home to some of the richest religious leaders in the world, the likes of Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners chapel, pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeem Christian church amongst a few. 
   Intellectually, Nigerians have some of the smartest people in the world, although they are mostly unutilized. They were the first African country to have designed, built and launched a satellite(Nigeria Satix) into space. In another scene, Nigeria all female teens emerged as winners of the 2018 Technovation World Pitch in California United States. The team developed a mobile application card "FD Detector" to tackle the problem of fake pharmaceutical product in the country. They defeated teams from United States , Spain , Turkey , Uzbekistan and China. 
   Uniqueness runs in almost every Nigerian. They are so unique that they formulated their own brand of English known as "Pidgin English" , that is duly recognized by BBC Africa. 
 As a country, Nigerian faces a no of societal issues owning primarily to a history of inefficiency in governance, mainly corrupt practices. Despite its vast government revenues from mining of petroleum , yet it's one of the poorest country in world with people living below poverty line of 1$ and 50cent a day.
  In all, the average Nigerian is always hopeful and would keep on going even in tough times, situation and economy. If you have never met a resilient and optimistic person, you are yet to meet a Nigerian.
