Ten Things Nigerians Find Very Funny Or Weird by Djicemob: 11:57am On Sep 04, 2014
Nigerians are cultured people and their knowledge is richly reflected in everything including humour. They are renowned for their sense of humour because they are not afraid to make fun out of everything. They define things beyond imagination and this evokes laughter any day.

Below are ten funny things Nigerians find very funny...

1.Foreign accent
English language is not an issue to any Nigerian but the moment a Nigerian in Nigeria starts speaking like a white man, you are in for a show. This is because you would be laughed to scorn; it doesn’t matter if you have spent your whole life in America or any foreign country.

2.Being the first to arrive for parties
Coming late for parties is not something that Nigerians see as a problem, but when you are the first to come for a party or event, they think that you are coming for the meals and a lot of people may think that it is very funny to beat time for that event.

3.Eating fufu with knife and fork
Ahh…You don’t try this in a local food center. You would be laughed at because it is very strange and funny to a lot of people LOL. They believed that Nigerian foods (swallows) are meant to be eaten with your hands and not to eat it with knife and fork. Fufu is a local food and they believe it should be eaten the way locals eat it. #TeamHandsForSwallow

4.Ladies fighting over a man
If men are fighting over a lady, they would allow them to fight or sometimes, scold them but when it comes to ladies fighting over a man, it is a different ball game. You should not be surprised when you see cars parked,phones hanging in the air to watch,snap and video these ladies fight because they think it is funny.

5.When you travel to an African country and come back with an American accent
They believe that you must have lost your mind and would simply laugh over your accent.They believed that it is impossible for you to travel to an African country and come back with an American or British accent.And quite frankly,why would you go to ghana and come back with a British accent? Lol.

6.Nigerians who would not crush their chicken bones
Bones are not to be spared especially chicken bones, a lot of Nigerians find it funny when you eat just the flesh and leave behind a chunk of meat with bones. They simply believe that you should crush these bones and most people might think you are just forming tu.sh(ajebo).

7.Men who wear suit and tie and walk under a very hot weather
It doesn’t matter if you are the bank manager when you walk on suit and tie aimlessly on the street without a car,Some Nigerians would believe that something may be wrong with you and u'll be laughed at.

8.People who wear sun glasses at night
It is not a welcomed fashion savvy for Nigerians. They may think that you are blind and if they discover that you are not handicapped, the next thing is laughter because they don’t believe that you can see with such glasses.Jim iyke and Dbanj have fallen victims to these laughing sessions on different social media.

9.A Nigerian who drives an expensive car and begs for money
Car is one way to measure the wealth of a man especially the SUVs. Nigerians would never believe that these people who ride these expensive cars would lack money at any point in time, and when they end up asking for money, it is always funny to people.

10. A poor man with pot belly
The old belief that rich men are those with pot bellies has not died in the modern world. It is difficult for a lot of people to believe that it is possible for a pot belly man to say that he is not having money.LMAO

Well, a lot of things make Nigerians laugh, you can share yours...

OP, you are so on point especially with number 3.

Also a Tenant, who has several cars.

And a lady who claims she stays with a friend, sister or Aunty in town.
