Why don't you tell us your own disadvantages first, since you seem to be in the midst of it all.

You can't go over to your neighbor to ask for palm oil.

You can't spread your right fingers and say 'waka' when people get you mad ( they won't understand) grin grin

you can't pick your teeth and nose in public.

You have to consciously minimise your God-given Nigerian accent in public

You can't publicly admit how much you hate dogs or don't care much about them,you'll be branded a cruel person.

going grocery shopping is boring,everyone minds their business,you don't have traders calling and wooing you to come and patronise them,promising to add good jara.
