The article by Rotimi Fasan titled "Nigeria is the unfortunate parent of ungrateful children" discusses the perceived ingratitude of Nigeria's citizens towards their country. Fasan critiques the tendency of Nigerians to blame the nation for their personal and collective failures while ignoring the opportunities and resources Nigeria provides. He points out that despite the country's challenges, many Nigerians have thrived both domestically and internationally, often leveraging their Nigerian identity for success. Fasan argues that this narrative of Nigeria as a failed state is overly simplistic and ignores the complexities of national development, governance, and individual responsibility. He suggests that the constant denigration of Nigeria by its own people might be a form of self-loathing or a psychological defense mechanism against acknowledging personal or communal shortcomings. The piece calls for a more balanced perspective that recognizes both the nation's faults and its potential, urging Nigerians to contribute positively rather than just criticize.
