Could you differentiate, juxtapose and justify this thinking? I heard it somewhere before but i beg to disagree..

@topic, the signs are way above 10 jare. You omitted so many stuff. If you've never soaked garri then you've not stayed long enof in 9ja.


I actually meant that post as a jibe at Nairaland e-warriors not that I hold those stereotypes sacrosanct.

When you know that the sale of generators, candles, lamps and lanterns are fast-booming.

You always have to walk around with your phone charger.

You get hypertensive when see an hausa man enter a church or you meet him inside a bus/taxi.

If you stay long in Nigeria, you don't longer know how to unplug your phone charger evne when not in use.
you don't know how to turn off your light, even in the day time.
you sleep with your tv set on all night.
because we are not expose to how electric bills are calculated.
If you stay in Nigeria for too long,
you become so anxious about life and rational .Many more...
