prophetone:

Which septic tank were you scooped out from?

neuljosh:

You are either ignorant or blinded by sentiments to deneil that no one in your tribe exibits those points your
layed out.

1. Most Nigerians I know home and abroad in respective of thier tribes, have bigmouths and talk at the top their voice.

2. I am a proud Igbo son from Abia to be precise & the last time I checked, we Igbos cook soups like Uwgu, Ukazi and Oha etc. with Palm Oil(red oil) so whats your point

3. Prostrating to greet elders may not be a significant part of an Igbo culture but it goes beyond the yourubas. Other tribes like hausa, Nupe, Igala etc. have their various ways of greetings.

You guys just look for ways to tribalize issues. Please give it a break for ones and go take a good nap

Kossyne:

Please Elaborate.

Chamack: I will pardon you for your ignorance.

Chamack: You are one but some people are killing each other? Nigeria is an amalgamation of different nations, we are not one for now. So retract your statement biko.

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.

Here are 10 things people abroad find weird about Nigerians:

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: 2. Yikes! They cook with Red Oil!
Foreigners believe we cook most of our meals with red oil (Palm oil). I met Cheng in China Town, Ojota and he expressed how he felt about eating food made with red oil. He said, “even though it was dreadful for me the first time I ate Egusi soup made with palm oil, I will never forget the delicious taste and aroma; now I eat Naija soups like a Nigerian”.

If you haven’t tasted soups or moi moi made with palm oil, cooked beans made with palm oil, you are seriously missing. These meals are utterly delicious!

mariomakez: am sure u are an Igbo man.u guys don't like Nigeria but we will Neva give u guys Biafra .me I see every body as one probably in d next 70yrs u also will

neuljosh: 3. They think Nigerian Languages sound weird
Nigerian languages are sweet and if you don’t understand it, you are missing. Many foreigners spend money to study our languages in Universities abroad. (You think say e easy?)

bidexmat: ode! I Don dey wait for ur lame reply. Bone tribalism nigga, u av little or no ragards for ur elders.( Nd that is if u av 1.) Its in u guys' nature. Even ur grandfather chinua achebe stated that fact in his book, "there was a country." His own ideology is that It has bin ur strength. I experienced it during ma service year in the east, so don't come here to start forming stephen hawking cos u might b da bigot. Anyways, even pigs play in the gutter and never see it as filthiness.

neuljosh: 7. Exchanging foods on special occasions

Exchanging foods with neighbours and friends on special occasion like Christmas or Ramadan serve as a token of our friendship, love and goodwill. I love this and I always look forward to it every year

neuljosh: 8. Nigerians are not polite and orderly

People abroad think Nigerians are not orderly because they jump queues or do not line up in an orderly fashion. Why waste time on the queue when it is every man for himself. Sometimes, the last shall be the first and the first shall be the last. Hehe!

neuljosh: 9. Nigerians take education too seriously

People abroad do not believe in studying till you die! That is why they find it odd when they see a Nigerian who has a PhD and is looking forward to study for Litt.D, DSc or LL.d.

We take education too seriously because we believe that it is the key to having a fulfilled life. Though, things are changing – and Nigerians now believe that you can still work hard and be successful rather than studying for ages to become a successful person. However, education in Nigeria is important.

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?

all4naija:
Igbo 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.

all4naija:
Shut it! Nigerians are the worst noise-makers alive!

Chamack: You are one but some people are killing each other? Nigeria is an amalgamation of different nations, we are not one for now. So retract your statement biko.

AspDrone: . Igbos una too mumu...do you think you are special than other 9ja tribes? Bleep Ojukwu abi na "oju iku" Bleep Biafra.

Chamack: I don't talk to deranged fellows

Nobleval: You wish

Not that I wish. I mean it!

Nobleval: are you okay please?

GodMode:

There is a difference between school and education.

Western countries take education too serious while Nigeria takes school too serious.

all4naija:
The most disorganized human beings on the planet are Nigerians. We lead the world in that! From the top to the bottom there is no iota of organized settings.

AspDrone: . No be chamack? Am not suprised. Up 9ja sha

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.

all4naija: Yes, I am! I am not being tribal. I am saying what I observe about Nigerians from that particular ethnic group.
