But how come I don't do all these despite the fact that I have been to Ghana quite a few number of times ? In fact, I still roll with my guys whom I left in Nigeria and I also patronize our local restaurants to devour eba, amala and the likes.


Guys, click LIKE if you want God to take you abroad this year, other click SHARE if you want to forever remain in Nigeria and keep enjoying the terrorism of Boka Haram, Fulani herdsmen and NDA while they last

Tosin you no well I swear

How you dey and Awon iyawo nko?

Double post mods so sorry

dammilotun:
I have looked through this post, all I can see is a dangerously low self esteemed. I am flustered at your expectation of people who have tasted the better life to come and adjust to a mediocre way of living and speaking to impress or make you comfortable. This is an emotional blackmail, most people don't hang out with old friends cos of the financial pressure and the way they reason most often than not. I really pray our country come to term with the reality of life enjoyed in the western world,until experienced your opinion of people's behaviours will remained laced with mediocre sentiments

that your "I better pass you" mentality is what the OP is hammering on.
that you have lived abroad and seen better live better life doesn't make you any way better than people down here.

are you suggesting every body should migrate out of nigeria to experience so called "Eldorado?".. since that is not possible, whatever mindset your talking about is your personal "change"

For those that have never interacted with people in UK and especially US, you may never understand the accent thing until you experience it first hand. There are some words that they would never understand if said the way Nigerians say it. So Nigerians who live there gradually change their accent in order to communicate effectively, without even knowing it. By the time they return home, they are already accustomed to speaking that way. It is what it is. No one is trying to impress anybody. Switching back and forth takes some sort of ingenuity, pretense and understanding your listener. I would rather stick to the way I currently and normally speak than try changing overnight. If a change would come, it would come with time and some conscious effort. I won't force it to be like you.

the basic truth is that travelling expose you to a lot of stuffs either you go to ghana or usa you will learn something. those who change accent are just fake people. as for me when i see my hommies i flow with them. if you are in rome do like romans as they say

4. They condemn our local dish

When a friend of mine returned from Canada, he told me to take him to a restaurant because he went hungry and I was elated he still has passion for our local dish. I took him to one fascinating local restaurant at Ibadan. When they served us pounded yam/egusi soup complimented with all sorts of assorted bush meats. Instead of eating the meal, he walked out from the restaurant telling me he couldn't eat that shiiit . Honestly, I was embarrassed by his comment.

Abeggi. nobody wan chop fish way fly don turn to safe heaven.
OP, na everywhere you fit cop? Don't you know his body system needs get used to the enviornment first? maybe this guy is just a few days in the country and you expect him to eat anything he comes across.

I had a friend who went to UK with was great but what pained me most is that he had dis plan of going bt couldn't even tell me him paddy see guy I dey work on sumtin only for me to go to his house to check up on him and d mom told me Dat him son don go village and e go try wey him go cum back... On my way coming back a friend of mine who is also a friend to my oda paddy come Yan me of how dem don go Yankee and dem dey hide am like say I b enemy of progress.. Immediately I hear am I jus cut off ties with the guy because if a guy wey call u paddy fit do u dis kind thing that means there's no use of us being friends... #shikena

Even after using 2 weeks in okiti pupa self my accent change not to talk of say 5yearsin USA or Canada.

Nor be joke ooo weh Nigeria don nearly run me mad.

Nor be my fault oooo. Na baba God do am.

All the above listed sums up into one piece - PRIDE

vizkiz:


uncle has been there for 10years now. Na those ones suppose don forget about how naija food dey taste. Unlike one mumu that went to Dubai last year and came back forming British accent

Say "I don't take Heybah (eba) anymore"

Rotflmao. Oga Vizkiz, nor kill person with laugh ohh..

''Heybah''(Eba).. That your guy na okpe-tu.

Anyone who traveled abroad and returned must complain of bad driving, bad road, no electricity and the heat (temperature). Even if he stayed for I year.

Excellent view ronald4lif. I feel when it comes to companionship with old friends, one should not neglect them totally. Even though they keep bothering you unnecessary for money and all that, just be blunt to them about how tough things are and the best you can do is take them out to a joint and spend what you can afford.

HONEY HON, MISS ME? I DIDNT KNOW YOU CAME BACK

Pizza 2500

Listen to them. It's a stepping stone to a greater height. Good one and I believe there Is much more to improve on. U are a solo/pop artiste

Stupid thread that reeks of inferiority complex.

Who dash her USA/Sweden.. If you don't like the thread or feel the thread is biased, kindly express your opinions politely same way that ronald4lif guy did. That dude is matured mehn, not someone with fat lips saying ''Arrant Nonsense coming from an Arrant Idiot''. Mtcheeeewww

wristbangle:


Lol then one need not to blow his trumpet when returning from abroad. Make him just enter the country jejely.

Lalasticlala, how far sir? Help this ministry to grace the appropriate dept.

That's what I do. No one knows when I am coming, no one knows when I'm leaving.
