7 Ways To Prevent Cultural Mistakes While On Vacation by Opinionated: 12:04pm On Aug 10, 2017 |
Nigeria is a culturally sensitive country. Hence, travellers heading to other cities or towns in Nigeria should definitely be aware that not everything is the same especially when it comes to culture. To help travellers avoid potential cultural differences or problems, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency highlights some tips. Learn the rules and laws Don't think that you can simply do things your way without any consideration for important cultural differences. Hence, ensure you learn the rules and laws of your destination. Familiarise yourself location There is nothing more embarrassing than not knowing the exact location of the locale you are visiting. You do not want to wander where you are not supposed to. It is therefore important you travel with a local. Mind your manners What is acceptable in one culture may not be so in another, so know your manners for wherever you are travelling. Know the appropriate attire to wear If you are visiting Northern Nigeria, you expected to at least wear something that does not expose sensitive parts of your body and ensure you cover your hair. So, it's important to know what is appropriate to wear for both business and social occasions when you visit other cities. Show respect Whether you like their practices and culture or not, you should show respect for what is important to another person and their way of life. Be careful with humour Every culture appreciates humour and a good joke. However, some jokes don't translate very well between cultures. So, be careful with jokes and humour. If you can, avoid it. Enjoy yourself After doing your homework, you should just enjoy your trip as you won't fall prey of any cultural trap. source: http://www.opinions.ng/7-ways-prevent-cultural-mistakes-vacation/ 2 Likes

There are some places with cultures that you must never take the risk of vacationing at. For no reason should you go for a vacation at Ogun, Kogi and Edo states. If Oro does not claim you, Skullminers will, If skull miners don't get you; gbomo-gbomo will. If gbomo-gbomo doesn't catch you, Ibegwu will kill you! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Don't go to ogun and ogun state without guns and a helmet for your own safety. Don't bother visiting rivers state if most of your clothes are red and black in color, and also wear a bulletproof and carry wicked assault rifles. Don't go to the north at all, if Boko Haram no kill you, almajiri or fulani babe must kill you....as for me, I dey Ghana dey enjoy their big booty babes |
