Travel outside Nigeria and you will be struck by the high level of organization in broad display. Tarred roads without chaotic and the unmannerly drivers, no erratic power supply, courteous and highly disciplined citizenry and so much more.
By far the most striking is the respect for their citizens and their rights. Yes, that is true. Everyone is accorded a rightly deserved respect. Except of course you are a Nigerian. All over the world, we are constantly and consistently treated with disrespect and disdain.
True, out of every twelve, there is a Judas. More Judas' if the group is Nigerian. All the same, not all are Judas'.
The worst is how Nigerians are treated in Nigeria by these same foreigners who would treat us badly in their country while our leaders look on (if they do not take the sides of foreigners).
In so many ways, we are beaten, cheated and treated without respect by people who are non-Nigerians. This is not to say that Nigerians have discipline, trust issues.
Doing business in Nigeria is a very good platform for abuse of fundamental human rights by foreigners. Labourers can be paid meagre wages , services paid for are not rendered and so much more while the government looks on.
I have worked in an Indian owned organization where an MSc holder is paid =N=18,000.00 monthly! Many people have various experiences and so sadly we seem not to be able to do anything about these atrocities.
