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

Did the nylon thingy too but later adjusted to plastic bag.

Yes

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?

lol. Reminds of d sow I watched last night. They baby face acting as one of those naija polititicaiqns. Talking about dat zebra crossing thingy and what it means here in naija.
Mine was that I used to break that rule Although I make sure I use the zebra crossing but even when the light still hasn't turned green I cross as long as the coa st is clear.

So true. Remember going into a liquor store and asked for Nylon. Lol. Told him we call it Nylon back in Naija. He laughed and said he learnt something new about Nigeria today.
- Another one is Petrol instead of Gas.
- Went to Burger King. After finishing Na so I leave every for the table like say i dey Mr Biggs for naija. People just dey look me say you no go clean up your sh*t before you Waka comot.
