11 Things Only Nigerians Will Think Are Funny by pTomz(m): 3:49pm On Apr 08, 2015
Ok my people, lemme plateau us to some real fact about our humourous lifestyles. So girls grab a pillow and guys go get that ORIJINAL liquid n enjoy the ride B)

1. Foreign accent



English language is not an issue to any Nigerian but the moment you start speaking like a white man, you are in for a show. This is because you would be laughed to scorn; it doesn’t matter if you have spent your whole life in America.

2. Foreigners eating the local delicacies



Nigerians do not believe that a foreigner would eat their local meals especially eba, fufu and other types of swallow, whenever they see a foreigner engrossed in such a meal, they cannot help it but laugh and sometime, they may even take a picture of these persons to show to friends.

3. Nollywood Stunts



Once, Nollywood movie stunts were applauded but nowadays, people find some of the movies very funny because of the way some of their characters are projected. Take for instance, when you see an assumed ghost afraid to cross the road, looking left and right to check if its safe for him to cross. That is hilarious!

4. Being the first to arrive for parties
Coming late for parties is no longer something that Nigerians see as a problem, but when you are the first to come for a party or event, they think that you are coming for the meals and a lot of people may think that it is very funny to beat time for that event.

5. Eating fufu with knife and fork

Ahh…You don’t try this in a local food center. You would be laughed at because it is very strange and funny to a lot of people. They believed that Nigerian foods (swallows) are meant to be eaten with your hands and not to eat it with knife and fork. Fufu is a local food and they believe it should be eaten the way locals eat it.

6. Ladies fighting over a man

If men are fighting over a lady, they would allow them to fight or sometimes, scold them but when it comes to ladies fighting over a man, it is a different ball game. You should not be surprised when you see cars parked to watch these ladies fight because they think it is funny.

7. When you travel to an African country and come back with an American accent



They believe that you must have lost your mind and would simply laugh over your accent. They believed that it is impossible for you to travel to an African country and come back with an American or British accent.

8. Nigerians who would not crush their chicken bones



Bones are not only meant for the dogs especially chicken bones and fish bones, a lot of Nigerians find it funny when you eat just the flesh and leave behind a chunk of meat with bones. They simply believed that you should crush these bones.

9. Men who wear suit and tie and walk under a very hot weather



The weather in Nigeria can be harsh during the dry season and it is very common to see a lot of Nigerians move around with suit and tie. It doesn’t matter if you are the bank manager when you walk aimlessly on the street without a car, Nigerians would believe that something may be wrong with you.

10. People who wear sun glasses at night

It is not a welcomed fashion savvy for Nigerians. They may think that you are blind and if they discover that you are not handicapped, the next thing is laughter because they don’t believe that you can see with such glasses.

11. A poor man with pot belly

The old belief that rich old men are those with pot bellies has not died in the modern world. It is difficult for a lot of people to believe that it is possible for a pot belly man to say that he is not having money.
