funny how when i thought of the Nigerian dream, my mind went blank. then, i thought of the American dream and started visualizing opportunities, decent living, etc. we really are screwed as a country if we can't even visualize a better Nigeria.
My guy, this is deep. Not gonna lie, my mind went blank when I thought about the Nigerian dream. It's a foreign concept to me and nothing short of absurd but really the real absurdity is the fact that we have none. No dream. No aspirations beyond living a better life.
All we want is to be able to afford food and basic amenities whenever we want it and however we want it. Nobody is singing about patriotism anymore. I'm sure if any one of us gets an opportunity to sell this country, we'd do it in a heartbeat. Sounds funny, but it's true and very sad.
The funniest thing is that we actually love our country. The patriotism is still there. Just not to our country anymore. Watch videos of Nigerians finding themselves outside the country. They're instantly excited and so happy to see each other. Along side the scam image, we also have an image of excellence. Check the comments under videos praising Nigerians, you'll see our people assembled and proud of our 'country' but it's not the country itself. It's the people we're proud of.
It's sad that this is how far we've fallen but as a new generation, we can do better. Since the past generation and our leaders have failed us, we have to preserve our pride as people. As Nigerians.
One thing I realised from your comment is that Nigeria is a country that will thrive only with its people. Not resources or leaders per se. The people. If the government clocks this and put more enegy into investing in the people, I think there'll be much development.

When you think of the Nigerian dream, nothing comes to mind. Maybe to Japa but after that, nothing
