Naija Habit You Found Hard To Break When U First Got Into Diaspora by Nobody: 8:28pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
Nigerians in diaspora, come share ur xperience. Well, not all of us are born into d typical ajebo home whre u go on vacations abroad every holiday, some of us just found ourselves where we ve been destined to be even if we never ever thought about it at first. So to cut the story short, these r d habits I found hard to break when I first got outsie - asking for 'nylon' and getting d stare like ' what do u mean' when I actually meant 'plastic bag' - boarding a public bus holding an amount more than d fare and thinking I'd collect 'change' from d driver - and *im so ashamed bout dis one buh I b typical ib girl now) thinking they'd be a place I'd go to 'lo ata' (grind pepper) Can't remember all for now, but I'm waiting for others to share their views as well 4 Likes |

Obinnio:if u have more than d fare u either do charity I. E drop d whole amount in d fare box or find someone on d bus that can change it for u If d amount isn't much, den u cud just forfeit it. But if ia much, then y not just take a taxi? |
