Having multiple phones and all the networks is just common sense in my opinion. I have all the networks on seperate phone and two tabs for data. That is six. None is practical, none is reliable. In Nigeria having multiple redundancies is common sense. The service industry is piss poor. Imagine trying to make a transfer over the holidays and the recepient didn't get it till the following day. Why wouldn't you have multiple accounts you can access through multiple networks via multiple devices. I hate failure of any kind.

Typical Nigerians

1. When you call them on phone, if they know you they shout your name first, if they don't know the number, they do 20 questions with you.
You rarely hear a Nigerian answering a call with Good morning or saying his/her name first

2. Normal acceptable greeting: How far
You want to know if there are Nigerians around even outside the country, just say how far and start counting the number of heads turning

3. Starting a conversation
For guys, start with any of these 3
a. Man U fit beat Chelsea
b. Buhari don finish this country
c. Omo, see dat girl yansh




Ever since I got my Gionee M5, na only one phone I dey use. Full charge in the morning takes me all day


you dey craze wella,how much GIONEE pay you for all this advert? Me wey i get GIONEE gan never advertise am reach like this.u dey craze u hear?

There's no such thing as "a typical Nigerian". Some of the attributes the OP mentioned (like owning more than one phone) are more peculiar to a certain cross-section of society while others (like the use of "sha" and "o" ) relates to people of a certain ethnic background (particularly Southwestern Nigeria)
The average Yoruba man who has lived all his life in Ile-Ife has absolutely nothing in common with the Hausa man who has lived all his life in Kano or the Igbo man who has lived all his life in Onitsha.
Nigeria isn't a real country, it's just a union of strange bedfellows.

After a Long Period of Separation, You’re Greeted With the State of your Weight

A typical Nigerian will break the ice with something like ‘you’ve added weight o!’ or ‘wow, you’re thinner now o, were you sick?’, when you see them again after a long period of separation. This is one of the major ways you’ll know you’re dealing with a typical Nigerian. They just can’t help it.


The most annoying especially by the ladies.

But men when they see after a long time and cannot remember each other's names you hear them scream:

The first person: Chairman!

The other: My oga!
The most annoying one is old women and hairstyle, especially when u r with ur mom.

Mom: this is my son ooo
Woman: enh, this is your son, and you have not told him to cut his hair.
To me: don't you know that the way u dress is the way u r addressed? Go and cut this type of hair.
Me: just bone face look am make e know say e suppose swerve me
