What Is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Had? by MRAKBEE(m): 1:09pm On Sep 22, 2017 |
Culture shock is described as the feelings one experiences after leaving their familiar, home culture to live in another cultural or social environment. I served in one of the northern states and was shocked the day I witnessed a young man canned on his bare back to determine if he is ready for marriage or not. Anyway, I eventually appreciated that cultural practice as I know that every tribe is unique in its own way. Nairalanders, what is the biggest culture shock you have had? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

The Yorubas! When I was younger, I read that the yorubas are the most educated and enlightened tribe. Having spent a considerable time in the west ( Ibadan, Ogbomosho, Saki, Oyo town, Ife, Ore, Oshogbo, Akure, Ifaki and Iwo), I can boldly state that those days of being the most educated tribe are long gone. 138 Likes 8 Shares |

When my inlaws came to collect traditional marriage list, after we gave them our list _they gave us theirs. They said their son is not cheap. My dad shock ! We thought it was small something. As we opened it, it was actually neatly typed and sealed. Naso we see 1big male goat, 1 big bowl of fufu, kegs of palmwine. They kept on emphasising on the BIG. 218 Likes 22 Shares |

Though i haven't travel beyond the sea shore of Nigeria, but have read about the Eskimo's who have it as there culture not to take care of the aged and elderly ones. Am still surprise about this horrific attitude towards humanity. 22 Likes 5 Shares |

I visited the Island of Mauritius and apart from the fact that i was seeing hundreds of ladies with hot bikinis, there was a section where ladies were topless and it wasn't a big deal to them but to a Nigerian guy, i just had to contain my excitement and respect myself. 147 Likes 13 Shares |

The eating of Amala and Ewedu by Yoruba. That creepy food irritates my marrows. The soup sometime appears like the sh*ts of Jedi Jedi patients. 105 Likes 3 Shares |

They don't serve food in Ghanaian weddings. Every Nigerian knows how weddings are done in Nigeria with all the owambe and everything. Our west African neighbours are totally different. The first Ghanaian wedding i went to was a very big shock to me. The venue was like 3 hours from school so I went hungry. I thought it's like Nigerian weddings where during the reception you can eat till your hearts content. Well after all the church buohaha. We were just served 2 buns one coke and one tiny chicken. I thought that was an appetiser and the main course is coming. Only for people to start going and I was told that was the end of it. I was shocked to the bone. After that before I go to any Ghanaian wedding I make sure to stuff up my tummy. That country is very weird. 186 Likes 14 Shares |

I was told we dont eat small snails in our clan....that it causes our males manhood to shrink and makes us (male and female) cry ant instead of tears... I was pretty young then sha... Im not sure if that was accurate, as it might have been my childish imagination...... Anyways, i've ate lots of snail , of different sizes, even my neighbour for school prepared one, one time like that, and i chop am without hesitation... Lol... Nothing do me 14 Likes 2 Shares |
