Nigeria Is So Different!!! by vacker(f): 9:06am On Aug 27, 2014 |
So i landed,i have no friends yet so i geuss when am not outside exploring,i would be on facebook or this forum. This is actually my first time outside Europe,and i am so happy my dad's country is my first point of call.I have noticed some glaring differences between Nigeria and Sweden.I hope am not starting too many topics. 1. The Taxis are full Five people! 2. Police dont have pistols. Ak 47's,to make them more intimidating i guess.A bit odd though. 3. Nigerian men are smaller in size compared to Swedish men. Majority of men in Sweden are like 6'0 6'1 6'2 upward.Most men in nigeria seem to be in the 5'5 to 5'11 range,i have seen few 6 footers though.My dad is 5'8,i understand now. 4. Hilarious billboards,The political ones are especially odd,those achievements listed on them aren't worth being listed on a billboard 5.NTA is not befitting of a national TV station. They dont seem to have an order of programs they stick too.The backround used for the news at 9 pm or thereabout is not mindblowing. 6.Electricity isnt extremely bad,My hotel has turned off its power plant since midnight,maybe my judgement is coming too early 7 .Shawarma is great! lol 8. Nigerians are friendlier.In Sweden everyone walks on the street without acknowledging each other,here everyone seem to be smiling 9. Warmer,Sweden can be like a refrigerator 10. Fucking love this place 3 Likes 1 Share |

You are welcome home. Meanwhile, the location you are reporting from, which you didn't state, may also be largely influencing these opinions. Yes we are happy and laughable. But please be less trusting of those smiles. You have been told. Again, welcome and cheers. |

Re: Nigeria Is So Different!!! by olapluto(m): 10:43am On Aug 27, 2014 |
Enjoy your stay...Take time to actually interact with people. Talk to people on taxis, in the market, etc. You will learn a lot from them. We have a unique way of thinking that you may find interesting. Also, eat a lot of naija food. Take Amala, Eba, Fufu, egusi, ewedu, okra, etc. Your life will not remain the same. |

Douglasdale: Enjoy ur stay. Naija is fun if you know the right people and places. Guess u are in Lagos. Are you indirectly trying to tell the OP to travel to Owerri for shawarma?! |

wow, first time outside Europe. you must be in lagos or abuja if you're cheerful about it, or simply a very jovial person. How was the weather in Sweden? Not too much contrast to here I hope. |

Its not a matter of how tall - Na how loaded! Take time out to check the load between the legs of majority of our men and you will begin to understand where the remaining height went to! 2 Likes |

vacker: So i landed,i have no friends yet so i geuss when am not outside exploring,i would be on facebook or this forum. I like your funny observations. We are 170 million people here, so no space is wasted in public transport. Some police do have pistols, but mostly senior ranking officers and paramilitary. We aren't Vikings. A man who is 5'10 is considered tall enough. Politicians are mainly under-achieving hood-winkers in this part of the world. You're right about no. 6 You will soon get tired of that Shawarner Nigerians are usually friendly to light skinned girls. Sweden isn't too far from greenland so I guess its a big change for you. I predict your love for this will grow cold before October 1. Then you'll be begging to leave. In the meantime PM me your phone number. I'll be waiting.... |
