An average foreigner (from any continent including Africa) gets scared when you say "I'm from Nigeria"

Why?

Just two reasons:

They believe we're terrible people

They're intimidated by the ability of an average Nigerian to outclass, outsmart, outwit or outshine them.# This one is mostly true!

tomiobj: . 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

. It depends on individual, light or life no dey Masai regions of kenya but yet people visit them. Even when they go back, they still want to come back for a re-visit.

anago9010: is madness a trademark in your household. I flog them cos I was registering ss1 new intake students, and I have to enter some biodata information on them. I expect them to call there father Mr something something and not okechukwu straight forward.

Insulting her household is totally uncalled for. Just because her views don't match yours. If her father doesn't see his daughter calling him by his name as disrespectful, why should you?

You're welcome to your views, but you CAN'T force them on others, just because you feel the opinions of others are wrong.

You are a very crazy person.The students are obviously smarter than you,they know their fathers' name is not Mr. the only thing your fickle brain understood from that is that they are disrespectful,for you to now conclude that all Igbos call their parents their first names as sign of disrespect,like you lived with them all.Something else is obviously troubling you,don't drag me into your madness.

neuljosh: 8. Nigerians are not polite and orderly

People abroad think Nigerians are not orderly because they jump queues or do not line up in an orderly fashion. Why waste time on the queue when it is every man for himself. Sometimes, the last shall be the first and the first shall be the last. Hehe!

neuljosh: 4. Bizarre Greeting Culture
People abroad think our greeting methods and habits are bizarre.
Our greeting methods are part of our culture and that is why we stick to it. Our greeting styles (Ladies kneel down while Men prostrate on the floor) are part of our heritage, a sign of respect, it is who we are and we are proud of it.
are you referring to 'nigerians' or 'yoruba'?

Wrong!!!! That culture is exclusive to yorubas... I thought you were talking about Nigerians? As a whole? Makes more sense about the "Loud" part.

I've promised myself that if I'm able to teach my children nothing else, I'll definitely teach them how to respect not just elders, but everyone. Oyinboo peeps sef like am. I remember my mom once worked with a German who had to bring his son to Nigeria because the boy told him to F off (at thirteen!)
