There are certain unmistakable signs which shows that you’re dealing with a typical Nigerian. These signs are very hard to ignore.

Here a five signs that you are dealing with a typical Nigerian:

1 – You’re Greeted With The State Of Your Weight After A Long Period Of Separation

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.

2 – They Have Two Phones

This can definitely be considered the trademark of a typical Nigerian. The two phones usually consist of one smart-phone and one flip or classic mobile phone (torchlight phone as most Nigerians know it). It doesn’t matter if the smartphone is a dual-sim phone and there really isn’t a need for the other one, it’s just a necessary trademark for the typical Nigerian to have them both.

Although, some argue that having two phones isn’t just to show off and it’s the current state of power in the country that makes it imperative to have a backup phone, in the event the battery of the other runs down and there is no opportunity to charge it. This is a valid argument and one of the major factors contributing to the two phone trademark of typical Nigerians. Other variations of the two phone trademark includes having one smart-phone and a blackberry smartphone.

3 – They’re Extremely Security Conscious & Watchful

This is not without good reason, considering the security forces in the country isn’t exactly top-notch and the security situation in the country is also more or less a mess. Due to this fact, typical Nigerians are highly security conscious and are more inclined to be as secretive as possible with details of their private and personal life, sometimes even bordering on paranoia with how secretive they can be.
