Make sure you also invest in a good Mouthwash. There is nothing worse than a well-dressed man/lady with an extreme level of Halitosis. |

macob:They have their reasons and I believe that they know better. They banned facebook as well and I believe they are doing so a better China. Chinese are often viewed as 'mumu' but see how far they have come and even killed market in the US. I heard they also regulate the kind of programs on TV. Now contrast Nigeria where all social network and media hype are allowed, what do you see? MASS FAILURE in exams! |

As others have noted, you can ask for Coke anywhere at least in the US and everybody will understand what you mean. Soda is the equivalent of mineral in Nigeria. So if you tell somebody you want Soda, the next thing they will ask you is "Coke or Pepsi"?. Also, I noticed that Nigerians visiting the US for the first time use the phrase "fvck up" indiscriminately. Here it is a big no no. |

Stella_Bella: 1. Somebody fall or injure.. Nor say SORRY ... Ask am are u okay? Avoid saying "Do You understand?" instead say "Do you get what I mean?" - I had a Nigerian classmate while in UK who fellow classmates from other countries avoided like a plague when we had to be put in study/work groups. This had gone on for over a semester and the frustrated guy had to cry out that he was being discriminated against because of the colour of his skin. Other Nigerians did some preliminary investigation only to find out that this "Nigerian" way of communicating was at the very bottom of why other nationalities avoided this dude like a plague. According to them, the statement "Do you understand?" implied they were dumb and because he constantly asked this as a normal Nigerian would when speaking, they felt he was being arrogant and avoided him. 2 Likes |

@OP, tha was really funny... loved it. As a matter of fact, I had witnessed something similar to the "coke" incident @ CVS before only that the dude said "drugs" instead of medicine/OTC medication. Before you knew it, police was everywhere. Luckily for him, he lived close to the store, and while the ordeal lasted for about 25mins. Although I did not vouch for him, but I did acknowledge that that how we call medicine in Nigeria. He's guardian/sponsor had arrived with his documentation, though the officers were nice and released him after (you know the rest, how officers behave). He learned something new - NEVER EVER CALL A MEDICINE DRUGS. |
