All people are born equal but those who choose cowardice make themselves less equal than those who choose courage. Those who choose cowardice are not born that way; they learn it and can unlearn it and learn courage and become heroic human beings. Until Nigerians choose courage one does not expect good governance in Nigeria. Nigerians must overcome their cowardly desire to live at the expense of justice. Cowards are inconsequential human beings; they are not worth a second of any ones time, as are contemporary Nigerians! Finally, I know that this essay made sweeping generalizations about Nigerians and that there are exceptions to those generalizations. There are courageous Nigerians. However, in as much as many Nigerians are mere talkers, not doers, I feel justified in stereotyping them as cowards. Prove me wrong! *It is a psychoanalytic axiom that what the individual sees in other persons is what he sees in himself; that, perhaps, he denies and projects it out to other persons. I am a Nigerian. Logically, therefore, what I see in Nigerians must also exist in me. So, let us not quibble about projection or lack of it and get on with doing what we need to do, fight for our political liberty and, if needs be, die for it rather than tolerate the rule of criminals that has been our fate so far in our unimpressive history. - source ihuanedo.ning/group/wazobiaisalienotnigeria/forum/topics/nigerians-edos-are-cowards
