wish you all that in million folds, plus incurable ailments, gigantic penury, poverty and misery. you are even a slave!!!!! you still hustle at alaba during holidays, your life must really suck.

londoner:

Neither do we. In fact we actually don't wake our parents from bed. They are our parents and elders, not our children.

You have to educate yourself on the norms of people, other than your own tribe. Its only really Yoruba's or tribes that have close historical ties with Yoruba's that prostrate to greet.

Its not a general Nigerian norm or tradition.

If you are talking about Nigeria, you cant ignore all other tribes or social norms from other places.

We ALL make up Nigeria.

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.

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.

neuljosh: 4. Bizarre Greeting Culture
People abroad think our greeting methods and habits are bizarre.
Our greeting methods are part of our culture and that is why we stick to it. Our greeting styles (Ladies kneel down while Men prostrate on the floor) are part of our heritage, a sign of respect, it is who we are and we are proud of it.

hunter21: saying good morning everymorning

enkay4love: I find the topic's comic word usage & picture illustrations hillariously funny 2 extremes,@ OP,nice write-up. Yes Nigerians have certain essentric characteristics,so applied 2 every other country of the world. What I find the oddest,is our over-zealous religious nature,where we bring God into evrythng yet we know no Jack about repentance.(2)long leg/god-fatherism syndrome:d bane of our ill-functional national leadership(3)stereotyped increasing corruption rate,& careless accountability 2 the governed/electorate.May God help us.

davidif: Awful post. It's annoying when a Nigerian tries to writes a post about what he thinks foreigners think about his country. What ethnocentrism!

why did you have to bring the USA into this conversation??
