A Culture Shock For A Nigerian In Diaspora by meedoLock(m): 10:27am On Apr 23, 2022
So, a Nigerian Currently in diaspora updated us about the weather change in the country he is compared to how he used to have it back at home.
Realising that it is still day break by 9pm grin

But I even heard that in some countries like Norway, they could have a day and sunny time for a complete 24 hours without having a sunset mixing the day.

Lol.... Underneath a comment list is where we have a Nigerian, a Lagosian to be precise showing us what part of Lagos looks like at night grin grin

It's the time zone and is same in Canada. 8pm here is like 4pm Naija time but it gets dark quickly after that.

PS:
Picture 1 is Concord at 7.28pm. Still as bright as day.
Picture 2 is 8.00pm. It'll start getting dark from now

Apart from the Cold that Nearly killed me During my first Winter, I quickly adapted to Every other Thing.

But the food for here na nonsense. I miss Banga soup.

edoairways:

You must be a Bendelite

Hahaha, I'm from Ondo state, but I grew up in Delta so I know the soup wellla,,,,

loliapoopy2013:


What did you do to adjust quickly? Cold is one of my greatest fear. And which country is that, please?

The UK, Tottenham precisely, If You're scared of cold, winter will definitely be a tough period for you, there are special clothings specifically for winter period, heaters are installed to keep the house warm, The food is still a big problem for me. As to how I adjusted quickly, I stayed with my cousin for the first few months and he basically put me through the system.

I'm not going to lie to you, the first few months will really stress you out. If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to answer

That is actually bad for the body.
It unbalances the body's natural timetable.
Darkness is supposed to induce sleep

True. Language was my first culture shock. I couldn’t believe that I’d see myself in a place where no one spoke fluent English. I didn’t understand anything. Not even the signs. I literally had to use google translate for everything. I had no choice. Now the culture no longer shocks me.

Nothing sweet pass being a rich and wealthy man in Lagos or any other part of Nigeria.

It's only poor people that denigrate this great country and they think going abroad is a sure escape route from poverty...

I basically own and control the police station in my locality, the OC debriefs me regularly on security situation in my area.

I have white people work for me from all around the globe and they get paid as at when due.

I can't even count how many duplexes and mansions that I own.

I travel to any country without visa because I have countless CBI passports.

I live like a king and general even as a fvcking civilian.

The only social media I use is nairaland and I am a ghost on other social networks.

I love my country Nigeria, I die here!

This is not culture shock. Weather has nothing to do with culture. Culture shock can be in term of food, dressing etc
