I don't know where I read this but I think it goes this way, "Americans are surprised seeing you do nothing than seeing you do your thing. Even if your thing is to dance nude on the street."
Not only Americans because I'm surprised too seeing people who do nothing. It's a sure way to be poor, unless of course you are a Prince with gazillion naira in your bank account left there by your grandfather who happened at a time to have either done a lot of businesses or looted a treasury to make that happen.
