Nigerians all over the world, no matter how angry they are with the country, still love its people. When they see anyone that shows any sort of respect, admiration, and love for the country, they begin to ride with you.
The voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God, but there is no guarantee that yours is either. Get off your high horse.
No one likes a pop pooper. Even if you know the people around you are idiots, let them make their decisions.
