Nice one! i personally feel it has to do with background & exposure. On the issue of speaking 'phone' . before leaving the country ive always been very proud of my acsent & proficiency in english language. I know i can never be Oyinbo, so i focus on constructing perfect sentences with a clear acsent, and this has been helpfull in geting jobs that is know to be for white people only. A lot of whit people say to my face they wish they can speak proper english like i do. No grammer, simple & clear. wish some Nigeria brothers can think of that too.
Talking about dress sense, In high school dayz (GCI) which is boys only, u can only get girls (QSI) with clean uniform, tidy hair, & of course, your neat brown sandals. this act of impressing ladies with my appearance throghout high school, has a huge impact on how i dress today. Ice is cool but all the dog chain without a tidy hair will only make u look more like an alsatian dog. And expensive shirt with a wrong shoe colur will only make u look like a magician.
Am sure there are loads of otherNjas like my self out there. SO, Not ALL Nja MEN, but some.
