My English teacher at the Adult Night School told me just last week that change is wrong.

change is correct if you're referring to real money (you've paid for something and receive the change). Balance is correct if you're referring to virtual money.. e.g your bank balance, phone credit balance.

Change:
a. Money of smaller denomination given or received in exchange for money of higher denomination.
b. The balance of money returned when an amount given is more than what is due.
c. Coins: had change jingling in his pocket.

If not because the Night school is FREE, I would have gone with my revolver to demand for a refund of my money.

acidtalk: Whether Home or Abroad wherever you come across a Nigeria you might be skeptical of their origin (usually place of birth). But as soon as you hear a Nigerian who grew up and have a better part of their life spent in Nigeria, you can easily tell from their use of words and pronunciation.

Below are some of the words and pronunciations used by Nigerians both within Nigeria and outside.

* I want to Drop : this is when they are making their intention know they want to alight from a bus, taxi or car.

* Where's my change : this is to show they are waiting to collect their balance after a purchase.

* God dey : they are expressing their dissapointment in an event or feel cheating.

* E go better : When they believe there's hope in a current situation they are presently not happy about.

Others are :
* Jumpig of queues

* Speaking in loud voice

* Rushing to take a train, cab or bus and also in a hurry to alight
.
* Talking for hours and shouting while making use of a public phone boot.

* Talking so loud on the Hotel hallway.

* The highest spender in clubs, bars, malls and event centre.

* the man that keeps talking aloud inside the cinema.


More to come soon.

AND ALSO, THE ONE THAT COMPLAINS AND CRITICIZES HIS FELLOW NAIJA.

Don't know about weird, but, the shiniest and cleanest looking blacks often turn out to be Nigerian. Another observation, if you're looking for so-called "typical African characteristics", you will miss 8 out of 10 Nigerians.

Re: Weirdest Ways To Identify A Nigerian Abroad by pss: 4:53pm On Sep 03, 2012
I beg to disagree with some your points. I think some of your assumptions are based on limited information available to you.

mruknaijaboy: i dont know about the weirdest ways to identify a nigerian but the ways i can identify nigerians overall here in the uk


nigerians always have a certain look to them, as ghanians and jamaicans do also, you can tell the difference between a jamaican and a nigerian but some people find it difficult to distinct ghanians and nigerians over here except for when someone is really dark they will assume they are from ghana,but wether a nigerian is born here in the UK or come from overseas you can always tell from their face

It is different identifying nigerians overall from Nigerians from abroad in the UK and nigerians who are born and raised in the uk

Ways I can identify a nigerian from abroad in the UK:

Their dress sense - I can identify a nigerian from abroad from their dress sense, when they go clubbing they always seem to wear blazers and tight trousers/jeans or as they call them skinny jeans, and they always have some sort of mowhawk hairstyle which looks absoloutely ridiculous, check out uk nigerian artists 2kriss to know what im talking about

Talking Loud and Aggressively
- When a nigerian from abroad is here in the uk when they are on the phone the whole world can hear their conversation, their is no such thing as them talking quitely, they are shouting on the phone in public to disturb everyone with their conversation, my mum is also another one who doesn't know how to talk quitely when shes talking to someone on the phone lol

And i noticed everything that is said sounds aggressive, even one girl that went to my university from abroad and i got her number, i couldn't stand her because everytime i tried to be funny and make jokes with her the way she replied always sounded so rude because of her tone of voice lol, i know she liked me and she used to call me all the time but i just couldn't take it lol

The smell of their clothes - There is always a distinct smell of food that they have on their clothes, i can pin point what the exact food their clothes smells of but it is the same smell all the time, and i dont find it too pleasant either to be honest

I am not bashing nigerians from abroad who come to uk its the honest truth lol ask anyone grin

Yo g, where have you been? I concur with your post - the skinny jeans and mohican piss me off, but Nigerians are fashion conscious although they overdo everything most times.

And Nigerians are aggressive as fvck but most run like puzzies when it's time to fight... They just like shouting and disturbing the peace.. Bwahahahahaha

But hey, I love my naija people - we go hard in the club... Champaz everywhere, with mandem rocking all the new designers and that - and they party hard. Naija mans buy out every club they go to and you sure know they're going to make the champaz rain..

Get money, spend stupid, and get on noodles diet after - that's the naija way..

Salute!!! grin
Re: Weirdest Ways To Identify A Nigerian Abroad by acidtalk: 5:02pm On Sep 03, 2012
Mekymuo: Look at this dunce!!! Let me tell you, i have been to more than 20 countries, and all Nigerians i met are all well behaved.

Yeah right!!!
Counteries like Burkina faso, Chad, Niger, Guinea, Mali, Sudan, Somalia and the other poorest of Nations on earth.
I guess the best country you have visited is Afghanistan.

Go to Ghana next door and see how unbehaved Nigerians are. Don't want to talk of South-Africa or Egypt. Note I didn't even mention any country outside Africa.
