We grew up with the following mentalities below... All soft drinks are called minerals. All Fathers took first position while at school. India beat nigeria 99-1 because the ball was turned into a Lion. If your wealth starts reducing, it's your village people who are doing you. Rice and stew... every Sunday afternoon. Every commodity outside Africa is original. Anybody with HIV/AIDS got it via sex. She's a Calabar girl... so definitely, she must be good on bed.  Every seasoning cube is called Maggi.  You must finish the eba/amala/fufu before you touch the meat.  Every toothpaste is called Macleans. Every insecticide is called a Fleet. Every detergent is called Omo. Any rich Hausa man is an 'Alhaji', the poorones are 'Abokis' .Anyone who smokes is an armed robber. If you find some money on the floor, pee on it before picking it up, else you turn into a tuber of Yam! Only science students are smart. Once you travel overseas (outside the country), you must be very rich. Every girl who plays and jokes with a boy, has slept with him. You must buy bread when traveling. When you lose a tooth, throw it on the rooftop of the house and run round the house 7 times. Every noodle is called Indomie. Any girl who's very pretty is referred to as "Mermaids' while the very ugly ones are referred to as 'Witches'. Any insects that bites you at night are definitely mosquitoes. Any plane passing across the skies are going to America. feel free to add yours. 82 Likes 15 Shares |

Permit me to go tribal That all Igbos are fraudsters That all Yoruba women are dirty That all Yoruba women are promiscuos That all Igbos believe in money rituals That all Hausas are Aboki even when we dont know the meaning That anybody accross the niger up north is Hausa ( Now we know Jos, Southern Kaduna and others) that all hausas are lazy and unintelligent That all Tiv people eat house rat That all ekaite has degree in bedmatics that Edo state has an unseen airline..edo airlines (as in, all are flying witches) That all Edo girls are prostitutes and want to go to Italy. That all Ijebu are stingy and diabolic (There was this unsubstantiated fear when someone says i will visit Ijebu for you) That all Igala people are diabolic that all Ebira people are are violent and full of hot temper I have found the above listed to be blantant faulty generalisation 26 Likes 1 Share |

I thought the days of the week was only peculiar to Nigeria.   I thought weavons were attached to the scalp directly.  I hid my christmas shoe under the bed and prayed to God to change it to a better one before morning.  ....7 Likes 1 Share |

I remember when I was still little I used to play, we will act a drama called "Mama and papa" I will be the papa and I will choose a girl I have been having crush on since as mama, then after the drama start, me the papa will now send our children to go buy snail, cos I know before they will see a snail will take up to one hour, so after they are gone, it will now be papa(me) and my crush( mama) all alone in the room, so I will now tell my crush (mama) to attend to me as her husband, .. I guess you guys knows the next step..... I miss playing MAMA and PAPA 13 Likes 5 Shares |
