1.You Shout Up NEPA.
Power is still a big problem in Nigeria,if you’ve lived or still living in Nigeria you know what I am talking about. So you get excited and screamUp Nepa!when the electricity comes on? My friend you’re a Nigerian.
2.You wear Special Outfit for Sundays or Fridays.
We Nigerians are very Religious people and very few of us are Godly,sad truth. We don’t joke with our Religious activities. Most Nigerians reserve the best of the best clothes for Sundays (for the Christians) and Fridays(for the Muslims). In fact offering time in churches are like fashion shows with everyone trying to cat walk and show off their beautiful dresses .
3.You don’t ask people their age and you don’t like to tell people your age.
Except it’s something official we don’t like to tell or ask people their age. We Nigerians see asking someone’s age, especially if the person is older than you very disrespectful.
4.You’re boisterous and always Speak loud in Public.
Nigerians are very noisy and energetic people,it’s not diffi11.You use very often phrases like:
Eh wo, Ehen, Chineke, Che, Ah-Ah, Yepa! God forbid , by God’s Grace,Nawa o!Wetin sef!No worry ,Go joor! etc
12.You know what chin chin, puff puff, or moin moin are14.You like to add “O” to a lot of your talk.
e.g Na wa o,Leave me o,O boy!,Na Now o!
15.You read all the above 14 signs and smiled in between

I guess I'm not a typical Nigerian. I don't believe in flaunting or speaking loudly.

You beat me to it. Loud speech seems to be characteristic of certain tribes, most tribes up north epecially the Fulani speak more calmly and are less boisterous. Take that meekness for weakness at your own risk though grin

Nothing annoy me pas this particular one, that's how i embarrassed one woman one day, we met somewhere, she walked up to me and said, aren't xxxx younger brother? I said yes, she said ok, so you don't know how to greet, i said No, she was startled. Then she said, you have to learn how to oo. I said ok and walked away.
