Guide To Spot A Nigerian Student In The UK by pharuk: 4:43pm On Sep 03, 2012
For you all coming to UK this Month for studies, here is a guide to spot Nigerians

I might miss some so feel free to add.

1. Bag pack firmly at the back
2. Primark sweater/Coat and many inner shirts..
3. Black gloves and Long John
4. Most* will never start a conversation with whites but rather be on their own (as soon as u introduce yourself as a Nigerian... the questions never ends and u are automatically their best friend)
5. Desperate to go to a black club and wear blazer jacket and black glasses
6. Will always pull an accent in the first instance to anybody or anything
7. Show off international friends and talk about them to fellow Nigerians
8. Always take the piss on Chinese and Indians
9. After the first week, 80% will always say I can do any work and have applied for NI already
10. Wear suit on the first school presentation
11. Always want to take the lead in any group work
12. Must fall victim of PLAGARISM.
13. Desperate to date oyibo

Pharuk lol.

Funny guy. Could not stop laughing after reading your post. Desperate for oyinbo?lol lol.

When I was schooling in London,it was like a unwritten rule and we really never mixed with each other.

Indians dey one corner,chinese dey another,Nepalese dey,Oyinbo dey their own and even inside the Oyinbo them get clique(Eastern Europeans dey one side and the British/ Irish/scottish
dey one side)and we Nigerians dey our side. Every Nigerian claims to be Prince from somewhere,sotay one Chinese guy ask me say whether ordinary people dey Naija since everybody papa na king and all of us na princes and princess.

Don't know about now but almost 11 years ago girls scarce for London. Then na for London you go see boys with Kongi dey fight for GURUGU(girl wey no get leg). The only Africa club then for Old Kent na 20 boys to one girl for dance. Woe betide you if u carry ur babe go. Oyinbo come with her BF like 30 guys go round am up for dance.lol.

Yeah,London.

Nearly the same thing the last time I visited in 08 except plenty female international students dey town.

@op your observation abi na talk sef brings back fond memories of London.
