I would never have guessed you're igbo.

Ok, lemme give you the Anambra misconception
*Anambra men are too business minded.

*Anambra people like business marriage i.e the rich marry the rich.

*Anambra people don't like to marry out i.e they marry each other...(their fellow Anambra peeps).

lols.
Are you from Mbaise?
Seriously the aforementioned is the most preposterous and facile misconception I have heard.
Why? Because I am married to an Mbaise man and @times, I re-check his LGA cert to be sure he is from there...he's entirely different from the stereotype.
My uncles said he would change, but its been years now...I am even hoping he would change small....@ least to make my uncles assertions right small...lols
yh am from mbaise... I've witnessed alot of pple say such bt there is nothing one can do, d only thing is for the right attitude to be noticed in a person...

Nigeria is a country blessed with soooo many ethnic groups and they do differ in soooo many ways.
Amongst these ethnic groups are the Yorubas, Efiks.......okay we know all this tongue
So here are some common misconceptions about Nigerians by Nigerians... Yup within us..

1. Every Calabar person eats dog meat
Oh well.... Dog meat really is a specialty in Calabar but C'mon not everyone would eat their pet.. cheesy

2. In TIV land, men show they value their friends by offering them their wives as kola when they come visiting
Yup! It was practised in TIV land oh so long ago.. But in this generation I guess not..

3. Only Northerners and Westerners have Tribal Marks
Nah... In the south, tribal marks are common.. I think the story behind most is "Casting out Ogbanje" I no know ooo.. lipsrsealed

4. Every Ogoni person is a descendant of Ken Saro Wiwa
We wish.... Trust me I know... Every time I say.. "I'm Ogoni" someone goes "Oh!!!! Saro Wiwa's Sister" Really tho?? undecided
Most people don't even know where Ogoni is... Na for Rivers state ooo.

5. Everyone with the same surname is related
Okay... That someones surname is Same as another doesn't mean they are related.. They might even be from different tribes. I've heard when gossip goes as "So the boy surname na Adeyemi? No wonder e get work for here becos oga na him broda" Oga's surname is Adeyemi.. Smh

6. Everybody is from the most popular town in their state
So every one from Delta state is a Warri sombori... No ooo.. Or that every Cross Riverian is a Calabar person... Or that every Rivers pikin na Ikwerre? No ooo... There are other LGA's too..

Well that's all I can remember for now... You can add yours.. wink

Fam what part of Ogoni are you from.?

Lol.
The 2nd misconception is off-base. Igbo men do not consider class, when it comes to marriage.

Anambra folks, especially those from Nnewi and Onitsha loathe being civil servants

How to a Excel at an Uninspiring Job

I have been a graduate for roughly about three years,in that time i have worked in two different places (presently in my second appointment) , I spent a little over a year “learning the ropes” in an entry-level position at a quiet TV station in my state capital.

It was a struggle to feel like the engineer i had dreamt about becoming when i graduate from the university.The job, though technical to a certain degree was monotonous and uninspiring and the environment was a little slow for a fresh graduate,and an able bodied young man.

1. Treat Yourself Like a Professional
2. Find Opportunity in the Little Things
3. Volunteer Your Talents
4. Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

.Every intelligent person is related to kenex4ever jst because his IQ is above 350 (dey dnt know I still have some dull far relations)
.Dat buhari is going to win feb election just because he cried in 2011 n decided to sponsor bokoharam afterwards
.Dat fashola is performing more dan GEJ just because he is governing d smallest state in nigeria dat has little or no work to b done(by killing people with excessive tax) whereas GEJ is ruling d whole of nigeria dat is like a continent of it's own---where to execute a suicide mission is kabiru's highest goal/aim in life and to marry an 8yr old is his lowest.
