They are way more american than african. Their culture is more influenced by the Carribean countries. They do call africa the “motherland” but dont know anything about it.
Countries within Africa are quite different culturally, arent they? You Nigerians tend to work like crazy and highly value education compared to other black people.

Yea. I don't like the term 'Africa' or 'African' because it simplifies a very diverse continent/people.
The lack of everything keeps you on your toes because you're radical fighting for very scarce opportunities. We Nigerians are naturally competitive. We all want to get ahead and that drive can become something negative most times.

You recently graduated right? Anything promising in the works?

Not really. Well, I finished with a second-class lower which kind of limits my chances. Plus there are not many jobs here.
So if I want to get something decent job I need to get my masters. I would have to go for a postgraduate course. Also within that period get a professional certificate in insurance, coupled would the four years experience my employers would most likely ask for. Before all these said thing i will need to go for youth corp sever, which is scheduled for July or November.
I'm thinking entrepreneurship. Start and build a business. Thinking towards transport and real estate. Would need a lot of capital but I am willing to start small. I'm still working on my plan. Hopefully, by next year, I will start something. Will also pursue a career as an insurer but whilst I do that I need to keep body and soul together.
