@Op, Nigerians tend to answer questions with questions because fellow Nigerians ask stupid questions atimes. Just imagine these questions; 1. Someone calls you at 2am
and asks,"Are you sleeping?
Ans: "No! I'm picking beans."
2. When its raining and
someone notice you going out
yet they ask,are you going out
in this rain?
Ans:"No! In the next one."
3. You are making out with your
girlfriend then you start pulling
her panties then she asks; what
are you trying to do?
Ans: "I want to wash it for u."
4. They see you coming out of
the bathroom wet, yet they ask,
"Did you just have a bath?"
Ans: "No, i fell into the toilet
bowl."
5.You're standing in front of the
elevator on the ground floor
going to your office, yet they
ask, "Are you going up?"
Ans: "No, i'm waiting for my
Office to come down and get
me."
6.Your boyfriend comes home
with a bunch of flowers, and you
still ask, "Are those flowers?
Ans: "No baby, they're carrots!"
7.You are in the toilet and lock
the door and someone knocks,
asking, "Is anyone there?"
Ans: "No! Na poo LOCK
DOOR...." Mtsheeeeeeew!!
8.You are in a queue at the
cinema to buy ticket, a friend
saw you and asked, "What are
you doing here?"
Ans: "I'm here to pay my school
fees..." ODE!
9.When they see you lying
down with your eyes closed and
they still ask, are you
sleeping??
Ans: "No, i'm trying to DIE..."
