Those are not so much Nigerian behaviors as they are low class behavior. I don't do anything like that. Well, I spread a bit of rumours when it serves my purpose. |

Never Want to Pay Full Price For Anything. LMAO! Sounds like my mom. But you know, she has a tab at the local African Food Store (she pays it whenever) & it's spoiled her so she doesn't know why other stores don't do it. I love her though, she's my Mum sha! |

A typical example is brushing the teeth with a chewing stick and spitting it out along the road. It is common in most villages. |

While arguing with a West African friend in a lobby of a big corp about why Nigerians are distinct and proud of their origin, the elevator open and we joined about 4 other guys. The elevator opens on the 2nd floor: New entrant: O'boy I dey 2nd floor, I dey go pent house go discuss that $1 million contract with the big dawgs W/African Friend: charlie, na ur bros be dis o Panache: Mute and fuming The new entrant in 2 minutes was able to brag about his business and next shipment of hummer that I couldn't help how loud we are sometimes. The sweet things is that some brothers like us for been proud and confident. You can only ytake a brother out of Lagos, you can't take Lagos out of him |

Re: Typical Nigerian Behavior by spikedcylinder: 3:26pm On Jul 24, 2006 |
These are the things that make us who we are.Its not annoying,its funny,its our way of coping with hardship and terrible economic situations.Every race has its characteristics-good and bad.Americans,French,English etc have a lot of those but of course we choose to ignore it because they are the high and mighty oyinbo people! I'm definately proud of my price haggling skills!Am happy that i can argue my way out of situations,and i am definately proud to be a Nigerian and have Nigerian characteristics because if i dont understand and acknowledge their ways,who else will accept me? |

To find out the typical Naija behaviour, all u need to do is to go to the Nigerian High commission on North Tumberland Avenue or on Fleet street and see the staff in action. |

Typical Nigerian behaviours Throwing out stuffs from moving cars Jumping queues especially at the airport Disobeying traffic lights Spraying money at social gatherings Fashion parade in church Borrowing without ever paying back (bad debt) Turning up late for every event (African time) Fixing appointments that can never be met (popular with arisans-tailors, mechanics etc) |

This is one of the worst cases of stereotyping I've ever seen. Naija_diva, I hate to disappoint, but I'm nothing like what you just listed in your original post. Do we understand each other? Good. |
