The term,Stockholm Syndrome in plain language is when people express gratitude to the person who has held them captive and cause them pains.
I have found that this ailment afflicts most Nigerians. They love pastors who take their money in exchange for nothing. Well it is their money.
It becomes a worry when Nigerian citizens,like in North Korea ,start to adore authorities that cause them pain daily.

Nigeria's clearest example yet, that it has the disease, is when after 6 months, a new government has brought hardships unknown in the nation's history. And people are loving it. Moving to the APC,for instance ,with all the failed promises and signs that there are more pains ahead.
The term was reported to have been named by criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot and Psychiatrist Dr Frank Ochberg
.
"The hostages (like Nigerians) experience a powerful, primitive positive feeling towards their captors. They are in denial that this is the person who put them in that situation. In their mind, they think this is the person who is going to let them live."
It is also called "Trauma bonding".
It covers a lot ,from kidnapping to domestic abuse.
Nigeria's vice president Yemi Osibanjo said one time that normal people should not welcome the PDP in the South East. A suicide bomber would kill nine people in Borno(North East) even as he spoke.
Because of the disease, Nigerians have refused to blame the cause of the problem.
Mr Osibanjo's party promised to end Boko Haram --North East's only problem.
"Small acts of kindness - such as being given food - prompts a "primitive gratitude for the gift of life," In Nigeria, the "small acts of kindness are in the form of rigging elections, invidious appointments.
And bail outs plus shielding financial criminals by making them ministers.
But for the sickness, the statement should have come from the PDP that came close to defeating Boko Haram.
In normal societies, people in the region should be hauling stones at Mr Osibanjo.
Again, being a disease, Adams Oshiomole still has followers . And the Nigerian media ,equally sick hails it as breaking news when "appeal courts sack PDP" They are too traumatised to know that a one party state is an economic disaster. No debates as everybody becomes a Robot. Like impoverished North Korea.

No disease has a silver lining and are ultimately fatal when left uncured.
The government,according to Ralph Waldo Emerson, is the bully. And Nigerians love it because they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
