Having the Nigerian green passport alone does not make you a
Nigerian,there are other things that add up to it.We Nigerian
have very peculiar stuffs in common irrespective of our diverse
culture and differences in religion.
Here are 15 things that shows you’re a typical Nigerian:
1.You Shout Up NEPA.
Power is still a big problem in Nigeria,if you’ve lived or still
living in Nigeria you know what I am talking about.So you get
excited and scream Up Nepa when the electricity comes on?My
friend you’re a Nigeria.
2.You wear Special Outfit for Sundays or Fridays.
We Nigerians are very Religious people and very few of us are
Godly,sad truth.We don’t joke with our Religious
activities.Most Nigerians reserve the best of the best clothes for
Sundays (for the Christians) and Fridays(for the Muslims).In
fact offering time in churches are like fashion shows with
everyone trying to cat walk and show off their beautiful
dresses .
3.You don’t ask people their age and you don’t like to tell
people your age.
Except it’s something official we don’t like to tell or ask people
their age.We Nigerians see asking someone’s age, especially if
the person is older than you very disrespectful.
4.You’re boisterous and always Speak loud in Public.
Nigerians are very noisy and energetic people,it’s not difficult
to identify a Nigerian when you find yourself at International
airports .We speak loud with confidence ,you hear phrases like
“Do you know who I am?” “My friend I will get you locked
up!”
5.You call people you are not familiar with names like:
Chairman,Oga,Uncle,Aunty,Bros,Sister etc.
6.You have two Phones to yourself alone.
Most Nigerians living in Nigeria own two phones ,not just to
show off but because of the unstable poweer and mobile
network services ,you can’t just rely on one network or phone.If
mtn doesn’t have network you quickly pick up your etisalat sim
card.
7.You’re materialistic and like to flaunt your wealth at the
slightest opportunity given.
The Rich Nigerians are really really rich.We buy things we
don’t need just solely to fit in with everyone else. Your
Facebook updates are things like “lekkibeach chilling”,”Dubai
things”,”Money on mind”then just know you’re a Typical
Nigerian etc
8.You’re always extremely security conscious and watchful.
A Typical Nigerian person is always watching for safety.He
doesn’t trust anyone around him,everyone is a suspect.He
doesn’t keep his phone carelessly ‘cos he knows someone is
waiting for such opportunity to steal it.I once traveled
somewhere abroad, and the guy who came for me at the airport
was telling me how unsafe the place was and why I should keep
my belongings safe,I just looked at him and smiled ,wish he
knew how security conscious we Nigerians are by default.
9.You have relatives that you can’t even explain in simple terms
how they are related to you.
I hear things like,Hmm Mayo here is my relative Kemi ,she is
my Fathers brother’s wife cousin’s friend’s Husband.I am like
WTH!!
10.You always like to cook Jollof Rice when you have Big
Occasions
.
11.You use very often phrases like :
Eh wo,Ehen, Chineke, Che, Ah-Ah, Yepa! God forbid , by God’s
Grace,Nawa o!Wetin sef!No worry ,Go joor! etc
12.You know what chin chin, puff puff, or moin moin are
13.You’ve never or rarely visit the dentist because you don’t
see any reason for that and consider it waste of money.
Nigerians only visit a dentist office when there is no other
remedy. Visiting a dentist for normal check-up is not an
everyday thing in Nigeria.
14.You like to add “O” to a lot of your talk.
e.g Na wa o,Leave me o,O boy!,Na Now o!
15.You read all the above 14 signs and smiled in between
Proudly a Nigerian,are you?
