305. Nigeria, as a country, is very hospitable to tourists, investors and expatriates.

306. I love the family units system in Nigeria. This system encourages morals and also fosters relationships between people across the family system. I couldn’t blend very well living in America & UK because I felt the vacuum created by being away from family members. However, I felt a little at home finding a Nigeria community in a foreign land. Irrespective of where we find ourselves, our tribe or ethnicity, Nigerians all over the world always foster good relationship amongst themselves.

307. I like the ‘be your brother’s keeper’ attitude of Nigerians. Nigerians are generally nice people. Always ready to help another irrespective where s/he is coming from.

308. Nigerians are thrifty. Our culture abhors waste; we believe that he who wastes resources is inviting lack into his life. What we can do with meagre resources is nothing short of amazing, stories abound of parents who educate their children up to the tertiary level selling akara (bean cake) or such other low income trade.

309. Our sense of community and family is unequalled. We are one even in good times and bad, in joy and sorrow. The strength of our shared experiences outweighs our differences.

310. Nigerians are friendly and very hospitable. We welcome visitors into our home, entertain them with all kinds of food. This is one country where strangers talk to you in buses, give you directions, and offer help in outrageous situations.

311. We know that our children are our future, as a family, as a people and as a nation. We instil discipline in our children and raise them up to be responsible and educated. The average Nigerian parent will give any and everything to give their kids the best of life.

312. Nigeria is a land of empathy. If you stand on the road or cry in the streets, someone will stop by, ask what’s wrong with you and if you need any help. They will genuinely offer to help you and if they can they will help you – Nigerian and African values at their uncorrupted best at work.

313. In Nigeria, Chivalry isn’t dead. Chivalry has been born and is now a healthy adult. One of the things you have to love about Nigeria is that when someone offers to take you out or asks you if you want to go for lunch or dinner, it is expected that they pay for it. End of story. It’s also the land where while guys are engaging in the bonding associated with watching football, a person you have never met before offers to buy you another drink. It’s up to you to refuse but still it does show what chivalrous cats Nigerians are. With all this chivalry in the country, maybe we should rename Nigeria as Camelot after the land of Arthurian Legend.

314. College education has become the norm, such that even the poorest of Nigerians will always find a way to get their kids a college education. We aspire to produce educated minds.

315. Nigeria is a country that values education and encourages her citizens to be schooled, achieving this through free primary education (Universal Basic Education project) and subsidised schooling at secondary and tertiary levels of federal and state owned institutions.
