Somebody asked me why is it that Nigerians don't really do well in their choice of profession/business or why is it that they don't last long before they fade away?
I mentioned the following few points as to what i think might be wrong:
* Mediocrity.
Truth be said Nigerians are the greatest copycats. They jump on things regardless of wether they have the passion and knowledge required or not. In as much as someone is doing it and making money, dem sef must do am. And ofcourse, it's an avenue to get cheap publicity and become a celebrity. 'Awon celebrity oloorun'. Until everything spoil dem no go comot.
See the joke our entertainment industry has become now. Watching some movies is simply an insult to your intelligence. Music nko? Isshhhh...
Dem don dey enter photography and fashion now.
NO STANDARD PURE AND SIMPLE.
As bad as it is, these people won't even take time to develop their skills...
*Lack of attention to details.
This makes whatever effort that has been put into the job to become irrelevant. Ofcourse this is expected because once you are doing what you have no business doing, you will make a mess of it. Creativity zero. So you don't have that inner eye to see things.
*Desire to make quick profit.
This result in making compromise in key areas which will lead to eventual collapse and death of the venture. The first thing that will be affected is quality which graduates into loss of reputation.
Build a strong brand and you can command whatever profit you want in the long run.
Only those who are doing something because of the love of it will devote their time to building something worthwhile. Profit should be relegated to the background where it belongs (for the time being).
*Strong dislike for criticism.
Critics are seen as enemies of progress. Calling their attention to areas where they can improve is like pulling them down.
So how do you expect someone who hates correction to succeed?
I know there could be more reasons but i see the above as the key ones.
