Why Are Nigerians Not Patriotic Like The Americans?

I think it is because most Nigerians are concern about their survival as they believe they have gone through a lot of suffering and hardship due to corrupt governments and leaders. Survival is the main aim of most Nigerian, not patriotism to a government and nation which do not act like her citizens even exist. corruption has eaten patriotism, at this day and age, the minimum wage of Nigeria is 18,000 naira (less than 60 dollars) monthly, while our Senators earn close to, if not more than their American counterparts.

His job now. He washes pots and pans for a large kitchen in Ikoyi.  To most people, he is doing nothing worthwhile. But to him, he is happy and fulfilled. He sees what he is doing as worthwhile in his life. We have read so many articles about being happy and being successful, I quote from. One article I read: "Worth is what we define it as.
