Nigerians - What Makes Us Special?

well what makes u a nigerian depends on a lot of different factors apart formt he fact ur born one.
but here a friend of mine listed most common factors
what do u think?

1,  Almost everyone arrives at the party late - hence the
reference, "African time".

2,  You were given one invitation card, but you invite 20 other
friends.

3,  You call the attention of the people serving food by saying
"please we haven't eaten in this area o!"

4,  Even when it was obvious that no alcohol was served, you still
ask "don't you have any alcohol?

5,  At a kids party scheduled to start at 5pm and finishing at
12am, you arrive with kids (some of them already sleeping) at 11pm.

6,  You go back to ask for more food and drinks.

7,  You dance to "Obesere" or "Fela" music as if your life depended
on it.

8,  You go to the dance floor and start "spraying" dollar notes.

9,  You hear people talking, as if they are in a fight, about
sports and politics.

10,  Towards the end of the party you see people going into the
helping themselves to "take away" food and drinks.

11,  You ask the DJ to play a specially recorded cassette tape you
brought with you.

12,  You ask the caretaker of the hired hall to extend the party
time by bribing him with money and drinks.

13,  Most of the guys are frowning and cussing because fufu, semo,
gira or eba wasn't served.

14,  More than two bouncers are at the door that leads to where the
foods/drinks are kept.

15,  The men are sitting in groups, instead of sitting with their
women.

16,  You hear, "Wetin them dey wait for sef? I beg make them bring
the food make I comot jo!"

17,  On the dance floor, you have women dancing alone or with women
and men dancing alone or with men.

18,  Most of the guys are hanging around outside, attending to
"business" with cellular phones.

19,  The hall empties immediately after food has been served.

20,  The latest is all the guys talk about is IT and lies
about how much they are making contracting.

21. The food is served on a 'man know man' basis, leaving the man
in the seat next to you wondering why he only got rice and
meat, while your plate has all the assorted 'extras'!

22. They tell you "the moi-moi don finish" despite the fact that a
man next to you has 4 on his plate.

23: drinks are still called "mineral".

24: During a toast, guys finish drinking the champagne in their
glasses before the actual toast

25: The MC in every wedding reception starts with "Ladies and
Gerrulmen, " and proceeds to blow "grammar".

Ah! Una don forget the most important part
