neuljosh: True talk. In my last trip, an American born Cameroonian asked me what part of Naija I came from and when I mentioned my South Eastern state to her, she didn't believe me cos she has this wrong misconception stemming from her experience, that all Igbos are very loud and noisy folks. 1 Like |

Interesting piece. But quite a few of the traits listed are peculiar to a particular tribe, or tribes, rather than Nigeria as a whole. |

adconline:give it a break bro, why do you want to ruin such a nice thread. Nigeria have the world highest child illiteracy ratio? Is that what the op is talking about he is actually talking about the do or die passion we have for degrees and certs, or have you ever wondered why OBJ at his age went back to school, we re talking about two different things here. And i promise you that with recent development new stats may show a reduction in childhood illiteracy in nigeria, thank you. 2 Likes |

Some Europeans think in Nigeria, we don't and can't speak English. When I was working in the UK, I had some colleagues from some part of Europe. They were surprised my English was very smooth and they could understand me more than the Brits colleagues. 3 Likes |

neuljosh: Most foreigners have misconceptions about Nigerians because they really do not understand how great we are. Being a Nigerian, I was curious about our general eccentricities and I decided to find out things foreigners find odd about us. Some of the answers I got are overwhelming and pretty hilarious. I was transferred lo England. Via virgin Atlantic. As soon as the plane took off the whole plane started clapping like a cele church revival which is also anoda example of aw noisy Nigerians are. Nt cele particular bur how churches use microphones. In other countries the surroundings r quiet but in nigeria. Different kind of noises eg baby crying ,generators,church nd mosque programs etc. Nigerians rent quiet 3 Likes |

Omexonomy: Those oyinbo people are always seeing nigerian as quarrelsome people. We quarrel over nothing es in nairaland.Nigerians can quarrel lyk anytn. Dint u see d sril air video where they were stuck with no ac nd how they wer shouting. Another example if there is a road accident and a person is injured. Instead of dem to call the emergency services. More people join to look why the people who wer involved argue whose fault it is. Tell me m wrong 1 Like |

Goddex:Chai!!! Na wa for some people ooo. The Op said, 'how foreigners see naija', and not 'how naija see themselves'. Are these things mentioned still not practised in the territory of naija. We are too tribalistic that we often forget that most foreigners dont even see what we claim to be differences btw our tribes to be so conspicuous. I doubt if u knew that HAUSA is the recognised and picked language for naija by foreigners just for communication. I guess u wont start to shout URHOBO language is also here ooo...LOLX 2 Likes |

neuljosh: 10. Being a Nigerian is odd. Ermmmmm. If what you are sayn is right. Then people must be very foolish. Because why will a person that has electricity in hs country nw wants to come to a country that has no electricity. Many major countries has warned their citizens to avoid nigeria because it's government can't protect its own people. Boko haram issues. Robbery kidnapping. Nd soka's Me that m even living in the nigeria. I want to leave 1 Like |
