MrBrownJay1:


dont worry bro, by the time you receive ENOUGH fines/citations for your uncivilzed actions, you will quickly learn and start to behave like a civilized person.

Dear Nairalanders, so I was born in Nigeria and have lived all my life in this country till this moment ( I'm 22 now). However, my aunt based in United States has offered to bring me to the country. Processing my documents already.

However I'm scared I may put me or her family in trouble when I get there cos America is a civilized country and I'm used to the crude ways and behaviors here which is already part of me and will likely replicate them in America which will surely put me in trouble with the law.

Behaviors like urination on the streets, throwing garbage on the road and many uncivilized behaviors too numerous to mention. So please how do I Behave myself over there. Thanks for reading.

Don’t be afraid village man, you will be fine. 100% of Nigeria, both educated and illiterate who have only lived their lives in Nigeria will be just like you village man when they move to developed countries because Nigeria is a village forest. Just observe people over time you will start behaving well.
But, you must behave well here when you come, if you urinate for street, na jail straight 😂

pansophist:
Westerners also urinate on the street sides, throw garbage around, spit on the road, shout, drink on the street, and walk shirtless. So your typical rugged behavior is not new, just that you should do it like once a year, maybe during carnival.

Just kidding. All in all, you will be alright. But don't shit on the roadside sha. Use toilet

No bid deal.

1. Don't argue loudly with anyone. A lot of crazies and frustrated people, they can shoot you at the slightest provocation

2. Don't drink and drive ever. If you get into an accident you could end up in prison and get your license suspended for up to 3 years...you go enter bus tire.

3. Don't ever try to bribe anyone. Submit the required documents and you will get your response in good time.

4. Don't touch a female anyhow ...she can report you for sexual harassment and can land you in jail and your record tainted making it hard to get a job.

5. Don't push slap or beat anyone no matter the provocation. Except in self defense when the person touches you first. Battery and assault carry jail terms

6. If a female tells you no, just leave her alone ooo. Rape accusation has destroyed many young men's lives without redemption.

7. Mind your business and don't try to correct your neighbour's anyone's child oo..or even carry them unless na very close family.

8. If police stop you for a traffic violation when driving keep your hands where he can see and politely do as you are told. Don't try and bribe or resist arrest..if you are innocent you could get a good lawyer and sue and make good money.

9. Don't go and piss on the road in the street. A young Nigerian was shot dead in one of the hood's for doing this a few years back.

10. Don't go knocking on people that you don't know door's without invitation...some people will not ask you what you are looking for and will shoot you dead for tresspassing on their property.

Long and short, your record is your life..don't let any thing damage it...if not you many doors will be closed to you for a very very long time.

Better adjust your mindset or change by choice or you will be forced to change by fines that you must pay or else..Lmao.

When I came to Canada for instance few years ago and got my DL and car, I dey drive anyhow..fast fast like I dey 9ja..when police hold me 2 times within a space of 3 months with fines back to back for speeding and not having correct insurance. It really affected my driver rating from positive into negative, which means I will pay almost double in insurance.

The second fine I say I no go pay..nothing dey happen..they go my work..instruct my employer to garnish my salary which is to remove that fine from my salary to pay the fine without my permission..Ah!

I received sense by force to calm down.Now I dey drive sofri sofri to speed limit, dey behave.

You think abroad is where you come and do anyhow..you will soon know how far!

Why are you worried?

This much I assure you, the moment you alight from the plane at the airport, your body will behave itself accordingly.

Eunoiaa:


Now why this shit so funny. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Africans are known for these attitudes. With time and with embarrassment here and there you would be okay.

Abi ooo!He must truly be kidding. Na every issue you must bring to social media?. The first time l traveled, no one was informed among my friends even,my mummy. If at the airport, mysterious snake was sighted in your bag and you're deported, whom would you blame? Aye? Abi? Continue! I doubt your story self.

Ur aunt will give u orientation. Also the environment & atmosphere will tame u

Bro pls are u still in canada?? I got some questions u can help me out with pls?

If you notice, when you enter a very dirty car or go a dirty house or place, everything na throw for ground, but when you go a very clean house or enter a very clean car, na you go dey hold or pocket your thrash until you see dustbin. Basically, due to difference in mentality, you go adjust. Some places and situations go still remind you of Nigeria (Anyhow kind of way).



Go there, read about many trades and start aiming to accomplish the one you think will work for you You might not get the opportunity to learn as you work and get paid on your ideal trade or career immediately, so you will have to work at other fields, until you can get in your ideal career. You said it was a student visa, so your job prospects are limited ontop the general local job market prospect; Prepare your mind for longevity, because your accomplishments timing might be far or near, when far -- you might feel bothered about the lack of ability to help out at home there or in your aunt's house. Don't get into police issues, because that will affect you now and in the future as long as you are in that country.


Overall, Goodluck in all your endeavors. It's a new chapter.

It's funny that you know your actions are uncivilized yet you continue doing them, why because anything goes in naija right? If at 22 you haven't taken upon your self to start acting right especially the ones you mentioned, you will learn by force when you eventually get over there

Don't cross the bridge before you get to the bridge boy! Kindly get to the bridge first before thinking of crossing it. When you are in Rome you behave like a Roman. You will adapt upon getting there. Don't be afraid of what is going to happen, Believe in God and pray and also let the hard situation in Nigeria train you to behave well when you get there. Shalom

Its up to you to behave decently or behave in an unruly manner

Start now to adjust so that you can adopt to your new life style when you get there

They don't tolerate nonsense there and especially abuses on women

Please do you have the idea of the amount your aunt spent for the processing and everything?
