qhutetomsel: Lool. The fakeness is real! I just put on my poker face or the "what the hell is wrong with this 1 look" Hopefully that makes them realise how dumb and ridiculous those smiles are. I mean it doesn't even reach their eyes! Why even smile, if it's going to look like you are in pain?! |

Chascop:I unconsciously say "Hi mum" when she calls, then I'll quickly add "Good evening ma" the struggle is real! Yeah, I do |

lovelygurl:Lmao! "smile as if they're in pain" is so true. The way the smile disappears from their face afterwards with no emotions is just so surprising .. I don't condone it anymore, either take my face away or give them an indifferent face Must be quite difficult learning the german language tho .. I don't think I can survive in a non speaking english country |

qhutetomsel: Lool Was pretty young when we came here, so I just picked it up. My German is actually better than my English . It all depends on age. The older you get, the more difficult it becomes. |

I was with my CEO when he called one of our American staff for something. The lady answered and called him by his first name. She said 'hi, how are you?'' I was so shocked. I asked him "eh sir, does she know who she is talking to?" and he answered "don't mind her, that's how they behave over there. The don't have home training." My mind boggled. 1 Like |

chyima: That part is true. I met Igbos in every part of Kaduna. From Zaria to Kaduna town and even the remotest villages. The Igbo boy and his family are the only non-native people living in the village I'm talking about. And the village is so remote. |

makydebbie: You don't give a rats ass yet you still bothered to quite me. When V0lv0 kept saying you were fake I was a bit sceptical but the more and more trash you spew from your mouth esp regarding Ghanaians shows that you a fake wannabe. How can any true Ghanaian say that we don't serve food for our wedding. This is not the first time you have said such rubbish. I will keep coming for you whenever you decide to talk trash and untruths about Ghana. Nkwasiasem |

Girl360: I ain't like that so it means am telling you the truth. Don't be fooled by that girl trust me.. Its very obvious she is not who she claims to be and am laughing at all the fools who keep following her up and down like sheep's. Which normal person will intentionally spew false krap about their own country. Its only fake people that to so. Same thing with that kwame guy who was actually a south African pretending to be a ghanaian. Anyways 2 be honest if she wants to pretend to be an alien from space idgaf but as long as she keeps spewing fake trash about my country I will continue to call her/him/it out. Mtchew |

[s] RoyalPearl:Keep trolling since you're jobless and obsessed with me. Oh please shut the hell up. I cant count how many times I've gotten banned defending my country here. If I was fake, I wouldn't even follow Ghanaians on this forum so I wouldn't be made out. And here I'm following anybody I notice to be a Ghanaian. You can also do well to refer me to other threads where I've "spewed thrash" against Ghana. At least lethalbeast sees most of my posts and he can help you with that if there's any. You're quick to show how lethargic you're when most ghanians on this forum have seen me defending Ghana. I said I've been to three weddings and they didn't share food so why is your pussy leaking all over my posts? Why am I even explaining to someone with a dead brain, you're obviously stupid and pained. I wouldn't be surprised you're not a Ghanaian yourself just someone who's obsessed with Maky. Even my moniker is enough to tell you as Maky stands for Makafui. Keep coming for me na, jobless cretin. When you find a job at least you'll be able to get pad and put your leaking pussy in check. 2 Likes 1 Share |

RoyalPearl:why are you getting so worked up about this! she is a Ghanaian who has lived some part of her life in Nigeria, surely she will have some aspects of her that may look Nigerian-like but this doesn't prove she is fake. I have seen her defend Ghana several times even before we became friends. she is a Ghanaian so the earlier you accept it the better for you. until you bring any concrete proof that she isn't plz desist from that. |
Re: What Is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Had? by RoyalPearl(f): 11:35am On Sep 28, 2017 |
makydebbie: Not surprised by all this uncouth and vulgar words from your mouth. Lmao talking about a jobless cretin when you spend your whole life on Nairaland. I didn't bother to read your ish cos I got put off by all the vulgar words. If and when you continue to spew trash about Ghana and I happen to see it I will continue to call you out whether you like it or not. Do have yourself a good day |
Re: What Is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Had? by RoyalPearl(f): 11:41am On Sep 28, 2017 |
leathalbeast: I am not getting worked up. If someone constantly spews fake trash about Nigeria all the time am sure you will say something about it. If she spent most of her life in Nigeria as you say and she is not familiar with the Ghanaian culture then she must try to desist from making ridiculous and false comments wrt topics that she has no clue about. This has been happening for so long and have not said anything. I guess this time around I wanted to put the record straight. I really don't see any harm in that to be honest. If someone keeps going about misleading people then surely its not a crime to set things straight is it? |
Re: What Is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Had? by buzzmania(m): 11:43am On Sep 28, 2017 |
Come on! You girls should calm your tits down .No need to trade words over such a trivial issue. @makydebbie, royalpearl |
Re: What Is The Biggest Culture Shock You Have Had? by RoyalPearl(f): 11:44am On Sep 28, 2017 |
buzzmania:. Honestly I am cool. You know I hardly comment on such stuff, even the time when she was spewing rubbish about Ghanaian men I didn't say anything. But some idiot went to make an idiotic comment misrepresenting Ghanaian culture and instead of she (the Ghanaian to set the record straight ) she is rather misleading Ppl more which kinda irked me. 2 Likes |
