You guys should see my own list of how to spot a Nigerian Abroad. 1. The confidence of Nigerians abroad is very obvious when you come across them. It does not matter the kind of job they are doing. They are just confident and always searching for better opportunities. Most other Africans are often timid or easily controlled by white people. 2. Nigerians are highly suspicious of one another in Europe and America. I've noticed that other Africans are friendlier towards people from their country. 3. Nigerians are very religious even if they have low moral standards. Nigerians take church attendance seriously abroad . Walk on the streets in Europe on a Sunday Morning or Afternoon, and the gaily dressed blacks you will see have a 98% chance of being Nigerian. 4. Nigerians also work against the progress of themselves abroad, especially if they work in the same location. Our Naija peeps rat on their fellow Nigerian colleagues just to stop them from getting specific shifts etc. We need to stop this behaviour. Cheers. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ksmiles: In relation to the observation of traditional attire, take a look at the lad in the Nigerian colors - simply breathtaking. Nigerians should be proud. We seem to have something destined for greatness if we remain united, work hard at it with great commitment. I know that excluded Africans will want to criticize but truth is some nations just have something special, some unquantifiable quantity. Take for instance America, Britain, Japan, China, India, Jamaica...why is it so many inventors just happen to be Scottish.... 1 Like |

GentleToks: It is easier as a Nigerian to spot another most times because of our looks and the fact that often times, we try to greet every black people that come our way. Most people think Africans are Nigerians and that is why they will always ask if we are Nigerians. |

here in Asia, every Nigerians character depends on the individual... let's say it's like a continuation of how you behave when you were back home but there are few exceptions,... **the loudmouthed Nigerians are always those who managed to make it across from their villages.. I mean the village championships, oboy!!! these people are also the selfie champions! many a times people do mistake some of us for African americans, while these loud mouths are easily identified as Nigerians.. Lol too bad . |

OP, what the fvck is this? I'm a Nigerian and I don't do any of what you just listed. I have friends here also who don't do any of them. Tho, in a social gathering of other Nigerian friends we speak pidgin English, but outside of that is a no-no. White people here in my city just guess when they see a black guy, because Nigeria is the only country they've really ever heard about in Africa, only a small percentage of them know more. |

Please change your mentality about how you see Nigeria. We have grown pass that. ksmiles: |

Only Number 2 is 100% correct. So damn loud especially when they are on the phone. Seriously you don't have to yell for the other person to hear you. |
