52 THINGS NIGERIANS ARE GREAT AT

So here's the thing, GQ magazine has this article called, "50 Things America Does Better Than Anyone Else" in which they name 50 things they believe they are better at than the rest of the world. You can google it for you amusement. Some of it true, some of it could've been replaced with other things. The point being that Americans are a proud people, which brings me to my point: the only other people I know with as much pride and arrogance (I say that in the nicest way) are Nigerians. Only a Nigerian who lives as a pauper in his country, would go abroad and expected to be treated like royalty. Only a Nigerian would disobey the laws of his land  and go abroad and all of the sudden decide to behave. Only a Nigerian. So there are things I believe we do better than most people, but instead of 50 things we do better than anyone else, I just simply want to compile 50 things we're great at: election rigging, mediocre entertainment, self-delusion of grandeur, e.t.c. Whatever you can think of. The reason why it reads 52 in the title is because we are going to be 52 in October by post-colonial years, because Lord knows this country was formed in 1914, but I digress and I have a feeling we just might have a long list. So feel free to share your thoughts on what we do great here in the comment section or feel free to write a little something and send to my e-mail: lostdogg84@yahoo.com. This is not a scam (another thing we do great), I will insha-Allah compile this (another thing we do great: call God).
