anago9010:

stories!!! tell your stories to peeps that have not been to alaigbo. I have to flog some knuckleheads not to call their parents by first names in the school I served.

adconline:
Why does Naija like to manufacture stupidity where is no need for it. U cited what the "MEDIA " told u that Nigerias are one of the most educated folks in the US; and U reject what the same " MEDIA" told u that Naija has one of the highest child illiteracy rates in the world..it's either we keep living in denial or accept it and solve the problem. Facts are facts!

SugaryBelle: You lie and you know it.You can not flog anybody because they call their parents by their first name because its mostly their choice,it is not an Igbo culture,it is not a sign of disrespect either.I call my dad his first name as a praise name when I want to salute him and he totally enjoys it,infact if i don't do it for a while he wonders if he has done something wrong to me.Please stop spreading these lies.

For the sake of folks like you, I would have to add #11. Some Nigerian are tribal bigots Please don't come and tribalize this trend.

anago9010:

we don't wake our parent from bed with sliding tackles john terry styled.

kurlz: Nigerians answer questions with questions, their youths are dependent until they are in their late 20s or 30s.

1. Foreigners think Nigerians are noisy and loud.
Like seriously? I don’t believe Nigerians are loud and noisy; we are quiet and reserved people. If we sound loud or speak in high pitched voices, it means we are either having fun or you just stepped on our toes. Nevertheless, we love life and always want to have a good time.

neuljosh: Most foreigners have misconceptions about Nigerians because they really do not understand how great we are. Being a Nigerian, I was curious about our general eccentricities and I decided to find out things foreigners find odd about us. Some of the answers I got are overwhelming and pretty hilarious.

Omexonomy: Those oyinbo people are always seeing nigerian as quarrelsome people. We quarrel over nothing es in nairaland.
.
I remember when i was dating mukina2 up to when she turns 60years we are found of quarrelling always in the mid of oyinbo people.

1) Being loudmouthed and noisy
2) Red soup
3) Prostrating to greet elders

FabulousAutos:
True talk. In my last trip, an American born Cameroonian asked me what part of Naija I came from and when I mentioned my South Eastern state to her, she didn't believe me cos she has this wrong misconception stemming from her experience, that all Igbos are very loud and noisy folks.

neuljosh: 10. Being a Nigerian is odd
Foreigners believe that everything about Nigerians is odd.

Hehe! We are odd and we like it that way! Makes me wonder why we have lots of expats in Nigeria. Some who have visited Nigeria want to visit again and again, hoping that one day, maybe they might become like us. Ko joor!

Do you find anything odd about Nigerians?
