how about 10 Things Nigerians
Miss While Living
In Nigeria? I miss none of what you listed above whenever am not in Nigeria. This list is laughable.

Surely there's no place like home,i miss the street food,i miss the local things u can get from the street,i miss my family, friends but still speak my oh boy how far,b4 i park my car i dey check well well becos this pple no de play with that one.

I miss nothing in Nigeria except my parents and they come to Chitown every summer. Visit Nigeria 2 to 3 times a year for work and Xmas vacation , so I don't miss much.

Lagos Driving

Maybe you can google search.

I already did but can't find none

lastchild:
All my friends abroad always sing the praises about where they are ,wishing they never come back to nigeria,I have a cousin whom Whenever I ping with him will always cry how he miss nigeria

Always give me list about things he miss,what top the list for him is the lack of "approaching any girl you see" like it is done in nigeria or else you get arrested for sexual harassment

He says everyone living abroad who said he/she has nothing he miss about nigeria is a big liar

I don't know how true it is cause I have friends living abroad as well who wishes they never come back, could they be lying?

The guy no like coded tinz?

They r nt going 4ever::::::::ar they??

OP you're so on point. I actually miss everything here.

As a guy man you will miss the endless supply of chics's at your disposal in naija as compared to what obtains abroad

I missed the younger ones calling me brother or uncle. Here, a day old child calls you by your first name.

I miss this
6. Lagos bus
conductors

Even though, bus conductors in
Lagos can be annoying, you can’t
but miss the way they behave
especially when they have a
disagreement with someone in the
bus. It’s always an interesting and
memorable scenario.

wat abt d draft joints n shekpe joints...... dose 1 na im person go miss pass

How? There are ladies everywhere.

I miss all these and a lot more.

As I am, I seek Okazi now. The taste and aroma in egusi soup with Opkoroko and Snails. They have spinach (epinards) but that vegetable no fit African Soup at all. Used it once to make egusi. Whosai! The thing no bo si at all! Their ''shaki'' and ''roundabout'' (tripes) they preserve in packets with wine and other stuff like carrot in it. Who will cook soup with that? definitely not me. Been to Saint Cyprian (a place here in Toulouse where there are some African shops run by Indians and a Sudanese). No Okazi. I dey even suspect the palm oil color. The plantain they have is ''forced ripe''.

In fact. We take these little things for granted. I miss talking to a total stranger at the BRT queue. I miss talking to ladies also at bus stops or in the sweaty tight buses from CMS to V.I. Here they cover up their ears with earphones in the bus. In my opinion I used to feel at times that they are very sad people who fear responsibility hence they decide to be for themselves and themselves alone.

There is a long list of things I miss. Very long list.

out of all that you listed...persoanlly, only food that I miss...

SirHouloo:

Try Kale vegetable instead of spinach. After cutting, soak it in hot water for a about 10 minute and drain the water completely. It taste just like pumpkin (ugu) leaf. For the meat, buying a whole goat from the farm is better, about ($250), you can share one with somebody. The farmer will roast it and cut the meat into usable sizes.

on point

I miss my friends.Roasted corn,suya,those fine fine eligible guys for my side,huzzling in the market.I don't miss most things,like careless talk and bullyings

according to him even if you do it in a coded way there are chances that the girl will get you arrested if she's in a bad mood

This list is mostly off point apart from owambe and vernacular

For me it is:

1. Nigerian food. When you eat western (or worse Asian) food for a few months at a time, no one will tell you to miss Oha/egusi/ogbolo soup..
2. Ability to pay police off for any traffic offence (in fact almost any crime), even one way in the night on highway with one headlight..
3. Owambe. One can actually plan his entire weekend's meals based on stranger's functions. Just dress well to avoid embarassment
4. Interaction. Whether na to toast babe or just a fellow guy speak pidgin with, this one can descend into full blown loneliness
5. Cheap Labor: With 40k a month, you will get maid + driver + maiguard...

Especially if she's non-Black

CFCfan:

yes he's talking about white girls because according to him he lives in a white dominated area

why is every packaged Nigerian food item, for example garri, pounded yam, palm oil, crayfish, semovita, farrina etc you find in African stores in the US mostly made in Ghana? Can't we produce export quality packaged food items in Nigeria? Or are there some other factors

lastchild:

I thought as much. An African male has to be super-gentlemanly before most White ladies even say "hello" to him.

Nairaland

Damn!!! i miss naija. am speechless
