15 Things That Shows You Are A Typical Nigerian. by leyeg: 8:21am On Jan 01, 2015
Compliment of the season.....
Here are at least 15 things that shows you a typical Nigerian citizen..Have a nice reading..

Here are 15 things that shows you’re a typical
Nigerian:
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
scream Up 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 difficult to identify a Nigerian
when you find yourself at International airports.
We speak loud with confidence ,you hear
phrases like “Do you know who I am?” “My
friend I will get you locked up!”
5.You call people you are not familiar with
names like:
Chairman,Oga,Uncle,Aunty,Bros,Sister etc.
6.You have two Phones to yourself alone:
Most Nigerians living in Nigeria own two
phones ,not just to show off but because of the
unstable power and mobile network
services ,you can’t just rely on one network or
phone. If mtn doesn’t have network you quickly
pick up your etisalat sim card.
7.You’re materialistic and like to flaunt your
wealth at the slightest opportunity given.
The Rich Nigerians are really really rich. We buy
things we don’t need just solely to fit in with
everyone else. Your Facebook updates are
things like “Lekkibeach chilling”,”Dubai
things”,”Money on my mind” then just know
you’re a Typical Nigerian etc
8.You’re always extremely security conscious
and watchful.
A Typical Nigerian person is always watching
for safety.He doesn’t trust anyone around
him,everyone is a suspect.He doesn’t keep his
phone carelessly ‘cos he knows someone is
waiting for such opportunity to steal it. I once
traveled somewhere abroad, and the guy who
came for me at the airport was telling me how
unsafe the place was and why I should keep my
belongings safe. I just looked at him and
smiled. Wish he knew how security conscious
we Nigerians are by default.
9.You have relatives that you can’t even
explain in simple terms how they are related to
you.
I hear things like, 'Hmm Mayo here is my
relative,' Kemi ,she is my Fathers brother’s wife
cousin’s friend’s Husband.' I am like WTH!!
10.You always like to cook Jollof Rice when you
have Big Occasions
.
11.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 are
13.You’ve never or rarely visit the dentist
because you don’t see any reason for that and
consider it waste of money.
Nigerians only visit a dentist office when there
is no other remedy. Visiting a dentist for normal
check-up is not an everyday thing in Nigeria.
14.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 rep NAija
Feel free to add yours...
