Here in south africa,south africans and other african people living here say they can always tell when they c a 9ja pikin bcus.....1st,by our looks...they call us big nigerian cus they think most nigerians r big....2nd,we r always very loud when we talk especially on monday mornings after d weekends premiership,chei cum c arguement,chelsea this,arsenal that,man u the other.lol
3rd,when we r on d phone cum here shouting...4th,our mode of dressing. Whenever a traffic officer stops me here in south africa when I'm driving,he checks my license disk then comes over to d drivers door and d first thing they usually say is "OGA". So I believe facially u can most of d time know a nigerian even before he speaks.

One of the ways to identify MOST NIGERIANS is by their Impatience& DISHONEST BEHAVIOR!

No offense but most Nigerians are quite impatienT and not TRUSTWORTHY! Except quite a few though!

It's so annoying when I see a Nigerian spend few years in the western world & he automatically thinks he is white. Hello..! Who are you deceiving? If you like spend the next 50 years wandering the world, you are a Nigerian & a Nigerian you will always be! It's mostly fugiti[v]es I know that wander the world aimlessly grin grin

Thank you for educating the know-all acidtalk. Change is the amount of money you get back when what you gave in payment is greater than the value of the article you paid for. It is not balance as some individuals wrongly think. Balance is the amount of money or resources that is still remaining for a complete payment to be achieved.

@acidtalk, an example will help you:

Balance
Mr. A is selling a bag of beer priced at N20. Mr. B wants to buy the bag of beer, and pays N15. He is still owing Mr. A N5. This N5 is what is called balance.

Change
Mr. A is selling a bag of beer priced at N20. Mr. B wants to buy the bag of beer, and pays N50. He pays an excess of N30. This N30 is what is called change. Mr. B will receive N30 from Mr. A.

A buyer receives change, while a seller receives balance.

I want to believe you didn't read through the entire pages. If you had, you would know it was irrelevant to have used the statement " Mr know all acidtalk".

From the onset, I never for once argued I was right on the statement immediately someone pointed it out to me.

Thanks for the example all the same.

What about our dominating the conversation and intimidating others with our opinions that normally goes on here, on Nairaland?

Just to add on your list. [/size]
Re: Weirdest Ways To Identify A Nigerian Abroad by Daluuzor(m): 10:24pm On Sep 04, 2012
OP, pls try and check out d difference between "change and balance" in ur dictionary. Change is d money received in return for its equivalent in a larger denomination or a different currency. it can also be d balance of money received wen d amt u tender is greater than d amt due. Balance is something left after other part has been taking away, eg when u make withdrawals frm ur bank account, the money u have left, after ur withdrawal, is ur balance. No harm intended pls.

DO YOU KNOW THAT NIGERIANS ARE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH, NIGERIANS ARE ALSO ONE OF THE MOST HOSPITABLE PEOPLE.
SO WHY DID'NT YOU MENTION THAT.
STOP DUELING ON THE NEGATIVE ASPECT. APPRECIATE YOUR PEOPLE AND BE A GOOD AMBASSADOR.


please don't mind the evil spirited poropo, he forgot that Nigeria is the only country in the world that will withdraw its police from her citizens, to secure a foreigner whose country failed to make it on the map.

The only country whose citizens are jobless while ex convicts from other countries work without a permit.

Can't you come up with a reasonable coherent comment to defend your stance than resorting to childish remarks? Gosh, its like every time one comes to this thread, it seems one's IQ just reduces by several points. Goodness gracious.
