8 Funny Signs You Have Become A Typical Nigerian Woman by McBrooklyn(m): 12:45pm On Apr 19, 2016
Basically, Nigerian women have interesting qualities. Firstly, they know all the tricks in the world to make you do their bidding and then they could turn on their drama skills and use some fast lines on you too.
Growing up with many Nigerian women around could make you possess one or two of their traits and start to act like them yourself. There are certain qualities that Nigerian women exhibit; and you know for sure that you have been transformed into one when you start doing the following:

1. When you bargain in the market till you are insulted
Don’t bother paying, come and steal it
Have you tried going to the market with a Nigerian woman? It even becomes more dramatic if she is a mother as she would want to cut down her budget by all means to save money.
Nigerian women have the habit of bargaining in the market till market sellers insult them and ask them to take the wares without paying. When you start to do this, just know you are gradually transforming into a typical Nigerian woman.

2. When you can talk with your eyes
Most Nigerian women expect their children to understand body signs and languages. Your mother could hit you for failing to understand some sign she gave you with her eyes.
Overtime, these signs become a part of the children too. When you start to use your eyes to tell someone to pick up money from the floor, then you have succeeded in becoming a typical Nigerian woman.

3. When you cannot do little chores by yourself
Nigeria is blessed with a lot of hardworking women. Most of these women display this all the time and train their children to do likewise. However, they love being pesky for no reason.
You know you have become a typical Nigerian woman when you start to ask your children to get you an object you could get for yourself. And worse still, when you start to use your mouth to point out directions.

4. When you make retorts without thinking them through
Sorry for yourself!
Most Nigerian women seem to have ready-made answers. Try not to offend any of them or risk being compared to an object you despise.
In other cases, they show their frustration by making statements that showcase their efforts. When a child says he/she is hungry, they retort by saying ‘Come and eat me.’

5. When you cannot accept simple apology
To err is human and to forgive is divine, they say; offending a Nigerian could feel like hell. Nigerian women could be very difficult at times. You know you have been initiated when someone tells you sorry and you cannot help saying‘Sorry for yourself.’

6. When you do not understand the term picnic anymore
All these for a picnic?
This is noticeable when you intend going for a picnic and you pack all the things you could think of. You know you are a typical Nigerian woman when you pack wrappers and many things that would be considered inappropriate. This attitude extends into you packing things needed for a year for a journey that would last a week.

7. When you become judgmental
Nigerian women see themselves as women who are chastised. They understand the word decency and try being moderate in everything they do. You know you have transitioned into a typical Nigerian woman when you cannot help opening your mouth when you see a girl walking half naked.

8. I drop my pen here, Feel free to add your's cool
