It's only in Nigeria that people kill each other because of 50 naira cash. A painful incident recently occurred in Nigeria, as a policeman tried to stop a bus driver, and he started to turn the bus driver's steering wheel, (trying to make the driver to hold his brakes and stop driving). But the painful part of it all is that they ended up crashing into a woman's shop, and the woman and her daughter were killed instantly (she was a widow, and what she sold was only water to drink, that is to say that they struggle to survive). And when the public gathered to beat up the policeman, they found out that it was because of 50 naira cash that the bus driver refused to give the policeman. The policeman was wounded badly, but he was lucky to survive, as more policemen came to rescue him.

Why talk so negatively about your country on an international platform where very little can be done about the situation in your country? Isn't there anything good about your country?

I understand you must feel bad about what happens around you but if you focus on that, you'll lose focus on the great things happening.
