What's the point in feingning ones accent in another country?...i believe if you spend ample time in the country, your accent changes gradually. Will a white man change or fake his accent because he is in Nigeria? Na wa o, i don't know why we are beginning to see these white people am demi gods.

Those are common home bomb making components. Persistent internet activity centered on things like the items listed above could place the user on the 'suspicious activity' watch list. As an African immigrant, that is the least kind of exposure needed

Typical misinformation. CIA is mainly concerned with threats from the outside of the US. The above is the turf of the FBI, NSA and Homeland Security.

Singing: "me i like my country, i like d land and people, everything e dey for Nigeria. Make we join hands to make Nigeria better" What's with all these restrictions? (reduce your accent, don't google words like fertiliser etc) I tire o. I hate restrictions with a passion, hence i will never contemplate living outside Nigeria. Naija all the way.

Have a great day!

The thread make sense but the subject doesn't , you said things you can't do outside nigeria but you forgot that ghana,togo,senegal,cameroon are outside naija, beside all the western countries doesn't share a common law, so when you comment, just specify the country its applicable to not just telling us things you can't do outside naija, there's no country named outside naija

I need a comment on what I can't do in germany cause that's my target after this yeye nysc, pls help

Funny post, but i whole heartedly disagree with the bolded part. Please Nigerians, NEVER EVER EVER CHANGE YOUR ACCENTS!!!!!!!!!, you sound very foolish when you do it and it becomes harder for people to understand you. All you should do is talk slowly so that people can hear you. There are people like Indians, Chinese, Jamaicans and several people with different accents and they do excellent here in the US without changing there accents like Nigerians try to do.

You don't need to shave your armpits, you just need to use deodorants especially the type that has anti-perspirant in it, like speed stick, old spice red zone and co. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANYONE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY. A lot of Naija people are usually deluded into thinking that they don't have B.O. while those around them know they do but wouldn't want to embarrass them or hurt there feelings.
