always arguing with someone
never want to pay full price
getting loud for unnecessary reasons
always talking about someone behind their back

Those are not so much Nigerian behaviors as they are low class behavior. I don't do anything like that. Well, I spread a bit of rumours when it serves my purpose.

so afeni u r high class

Well-educated. Whatever that makes me is anyone's guess.

i'm not saying that to disrespect anyone but we all know how nigerian people act like, whether high or low class.

yeah nigerians(am nigerian am not annoying  ) can be annoying sometimes they gossip a lot

Never Want to Pay Full Price For Anything.

LMAO! Sounds like my mom. But you know, she has a tab at the local African Food Store (she pays it whenever) & it's spoiled her so she doesn't know why other stores don't do it. I love her though, she's my Mum sha!

Yes you got the haggling down, went to shop with my step mother and she haggled like mad and i just stood by the door of the shop embarassed and she looked over at me smiling and saying''daughter it's in the blood'' and she was only buying carpet.

Pricing to the barest minimum in the market

Wanting to get paid without working

always arguing

Eating corn & coconut

A typical example is brushing the teeth with a chewing stick and spitting it out along the road.

It is common in most villages.

Answering question with question

@Bosy bawo lo se mo? How did you know?

Sending 419 letters pretending to be Mariam Abacha!

While arguing with a West African friend in a lobby of a big corp about why Nigerians are distinct and proud of their origin, the elevator open and we joined about 4 other guys. The elevator opens on the 2nd floor:

New entrant: O'boy I dey 2nd floor, I dey go pent house go discuss that $1 million contract with the big dawgs
W/African Friend: charlie, na ur bros be dis o
Panache: Mute and fuming

The new entrant in 2 minutes was able to brag about his business and next shipment of hummer that I couldn't help how loud we are sometimes. The sweet things is that some brothers like us for been proud and confident. You can only ytake a brother out of Lagos, you can't take Lagos out of him

Hey Reverend that's not a typical Nigerian behaviour! that's a criminal behaviour

Sending 419 letters pretending to be Mariam Abacha!

Lmfao! Or even the president's son. Hahaha!

These are the things that make us who we are.Its not annoying,its funny,its our way of coping with hardship and terrible economic situations.Every race has its characteristics-good and bad.Americans,French,English etc have a lot of those but of course we choose to ignore it because they are the high and mighty oyinbo people!

I'm definately proud of my price haggling skills!Am happy that i can argue my way out of situations,and i am definately proud to be a Nigerian and have Nigerian characteristics because if i dont understand and acknowledge their ways,who else will accept me?

Laffing at jokes, even when they aint funny

Typical Nigerian behaviours

Throwing out stuffs from moving cars
Jumping queues especially at the airport
Disobeying traffic lights
Spraying money at social gatherings
Fashion parade in church
Borrowing without ever paying back (bad debt)
Turning up late for every event (African time)
Fixing appointments that can never be met (popular with arisans-tailors, mechanics etc)

DAMN I love Nigerians!!!!

who could hate us?

naija_diva:

Me.

All those typical behaviors makes us so much special and makes us who we are, the behaviors are valuable and comes in handy for us in need of them.

naija_diva:

girl you just playinig. i know you love us nigerians.

Of course. I'm a Nigerian.

This is one of the worst cases of stereotyping I've ever seen. Naija_diva, I hate to disappoint, but I'm nothing like what you just listed in your original post. Do we understand each other? Good.
