I Derive No Joy From Being A Nigerian - YRN Samuel

In a recent interview, Aliko Dangote discussed the benefits of his new refinery for Nigeria’s economy. While many reacted positively, one comment stood out for its negativity: “Nothing dey give me joy for this country agin. The Government and them Dangote na make this country turn like this.”

This comment reflects a deep frustration and a tendency to place blame solely on the government and Dangote for the country’s challenges. While these feelings are understandable, such negativity can undermine constructive dialogue and progress. Instead of engaging in blame, we should focus on how to contribute positively to national development.

Negativity, especially on social media, can discourage optimism and hinder collective efforts to improve the country. Constructive criticism and active participation in solutions are more effective in driving change. By shifting from blame to collaboration, we can foster a more productive and hopeful national conversation.
