ok ok, i have one here.  Cool take notice when someone is eating rice and meat. if the person should finish all the rice first and then eat the meat last, then he/she is definitely a naija o. old habits die hard! Grin

ewww, omogenaija. i wouldn't want to hang out with you! ha ha, just kidding! Grin but i think the food is more enjoyable when you sample all the food groups simultaneously e.g a little rice here, some meat, some veggies, and just alternating it like that till you finish. hmm see as i dey give out lessons o.  Tongue
i have a friend that eats his meat last too and i totally abhor it. ughhh! its just em, razzzzz! Grin

About eating the meat last, i still tend to do that. I don't really know why, i guess it's an habit i learned from Naija. I

think one of the reason I do that is that the meat actually makes the food interest me. I do that especially with fufu

and soup, not necessary with rice.

Soulpatrol, you are absolutely right about Nigerians eating meat last after the food. I discovered that long ago. Interestingly, in a bid to  wriggle out of the age-long habit, I now over-do the opposite and it has become so bad that whenever the meat finishes that is when the meal stops Cheesy.

One of my friends in secondary school would finish her meal, drink water, get up, walk up to 'Iya Arokotari'  Huh(honestly that is what we called the foodseller) and pay, then go back and put the meat in her mouth. She would continue eating the piece of meat till we reached the classroom! (yak)  Shocked

Who said that naija and akata look alike, my friend you've obviously never been to  naija or lived there long enough.
Naija people our faces "strong well well" whereas akata face dey "fresh"
Even an oyinbo who lived in lagos  for a while saw me walking randomly and asked me where i was  from and i told him naija and he knew simply because he worked in Lagos for a while. So all you so called naija americans who only stayed in naija a couple of months need to be quiet.

how can you tell a nigerian, my opinion is you can't, unless of the bvious accent , im nigerian many atime been mistaken for a west indian but quickly corrected, then you have the , 'oh but you don't look nigerian' Shocked

my answer always , "so tell me what does a nigerian look like, they are normally stuck for words"!!! Wink
