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. |

You can't smash your head through a shop window
you can't break into your neighbours house and do the whole family.

- You can't open even the tiniest stall without a license
- You can't use your boast without a license
- You can't play music very loud
- You can't build a school close to a residential area(My home in Naija was directly in front of a school )
- You can't take naija food to school, because people say WTF
- You can't eat plantain(In Brisbane)
- You can't drive a piece of Junk(It's got to be road worthy)
- You can't have a dog without a leash
- You can't ride a Bike without an helmet(In Australia it's a 80 bucks fine)
- Carpenters need an education(In Nigeria if you have a hammer, nails and wood, you're a Carpenter)
- Abroad, everyone asks the blackman "Hey do they have cars in Africa, do people walk around naked?"
Well that's my list, but the two that anger me the most Is the Helmet Rule and the last one

You can't pay your rent late with the excuse that you were sacked from work. Omo, after the fifth, eviction proceedings could take place.
