Im belgian born in ivory coast What i know about nigerian since childhood, is their greediness. We all like money but for nigerians, this love of money is toooooo much: nigerians can do anything for money. I do ask myself where this behavior coming from. At the same time, they are very religious. Nigerian can not make a sentence without God in it. So if you are not used to them, you will think that they are all christians. And other thing, their greeting: yes as foreigner it's really weird; I remember in my secondary school, i had a friend from Nigeria and when sometimes we cross people from his country, he has to bow down almost in the ground. We always laughed about him. very funny. But i like nigerians people, their skill to do business. 2 Likes |

neuljosh: Most foreigners have misconceptions about Nigerians because they really do not understand how great we are.

neuljosh: 3. They think Nigerian Languages sound weirdIgbo language sounds very disturbing to the ears like a revving super-bike. Maybe that is the reason why Nigerians are mainly seen as noise-makers who are from the ethnic group in their loud-mouths. |

GodMode:I 100% agree with you. Reason for plenty certificates but very few innovations. The parents are only interested in having their wards in school, graduating with certificates and paying no attention to substance, same with the gov't that magnify certificate above personal contribution. Is a rat race: the better your certificate, the brighter your chances of being employed. 1 Like |

overhypedsteve: give it a break bro, why do you want to ruin such a nice thread. Nigeria have the world highest child illiteracy ratio? Is that what the op is talking about he is actually talking about the do or die passion we have for degrees and certs, or have you ever wondered why OBJ at his age went back to school, we re talking about two different things here. And i promise you that with recent development new stats may show a reduction in childhood illiteracy in nigeria, thank you.Dream on! Naija always using outliers as average. OBJ is an absurd example. How about that child selling "pure water" on the street? Literacy level in Naija is 60%, meaning only 6 out 10 Nigerians can read and write. Nigerians you see abroad are the best Naija has to offer, but it doesn't mean that everyone in Naija is like that. About 70million Nigerians can't read and write. |
