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) 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. 2 Likes |
