9. Yikes! They dislike our Red Oil! : Returnees believe we cook most of our meals with red oil (Palm oil). I met Cheng in China Town, Ojota and he expressed how he felt about eating food made with red oil. He said, “even though it was dreadful for me the first time I ate Egusi soup made with palm oil, I will never forget the delicious taste and aroma; now I eat Naija soups like a Nigerian”. If you haven’t tasted soups or moi moi made with palm oil, cooked beans made with palm oil, you are seriously missing. These meals are utterly delicious but it's a pity our returnees don't take it!........ So if dem dey fetch water dem be gods abi... Mtcheww...

Some Nigerians, when they return from abroad often display some nasty and childish habits when they return home, and these silly and childish attitudes are enlisted below;

1. Unnecessary use of foreign accent to intimidate local people
You have no problem with it if it is NECESSARY?
2. High level of Pride

You prefer a low level of pride?
3. Unnecessary show off
Show should be restricted to necessary occasions
4. They condemn our local dish

You have interesting friends from around the world
5. They demand for undue Respect

This seems like a very sore subject for you in particular so you emphasize it greatly

6. Hotel becomes their home
Many prefer hotels because it gives privacy to acts they wish not to advertise
7. They neglect their old friends

How does one act to people who come to beg for money

8. They condemn our culture and values

I know many who prostrate and also many who have never left Nigeria who won't and also cannot speak their own language

Some Nigerians, when they return from abroad often display some nasty and childish habits when they return home, and these silly and childish attitudes are enlisted below;

1. Unnecessary use of foreign accent to intimidate local people

When some Nigerians living abroad return home, they begin to use these foreign accents to create unwanted scenes. They do this to show people that they are not of the same class. A times when you tell them, you can't understand their statement, they will say "Are u deaf"? The ones that annoy me most are those based in cotonou, Ghana, Uganda, china forming British accent. Honestly these ones need serious psychiatric evaluation.





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.

lol, when my uncle came back the first thing he did was finish the whole plate of pounded yam in front of him... So remove the part where you mentioned "they condemn local dishes" na that one them miss pass

Oh my God,

Am in nigeria as we speak. Eva water is a fraud.

My kids , husband have all been purging after I have been so careful.

Then I started to check the bottles we drank a few days before all the sickness started and realised they were all refill.

The bottles were scratched, battered and dirty.

Too many fakes in naija

A huge number of Nigerians abroad doesnt live in English speaking Countries so not True about this accent thing

2. High level of Pride

Again not true..I mean what is there to be Proud of? The Truth is more than 60% percent of Nigerians wished they live back home and more would move back home if basic amenities are in place, so this again is not true

3. Unnecessary show off

Children-Teenagers might show off but majority of Adult doesnt see anything to show off about

4. They condemn our local dish

Now this very one shows you just Generalize for nothing...Do you know how Expensive Nigerian Food are abroad? Yet many Nigerians still buy them.. Some Travel for Miles just to go buy Nigerian food even as they teach the Westerners how to eat our food... Nigerian Restuarants in Major Cities abroad so this here is just not TRUE. We love and eat our Food very much! In Amsterdam here we Have African Kitchen, Obalade Suya. In Belgium a Taste of Africa, Ngozi Bar ..etc

5. They demand for undue Respect

Inferiority Complex I call this. Respect begets Respect... Nobody demands Respect without willing to Respect others

6. Hotel becomes their home

Not everybody stay in a Hotel... Those that can afford it stay there especially during their first time home, after that many stay in their family home or their own home if there is enough space... Again the Family Home may not be Conducive..ie so many people in the House..

7. They neglect their old friends

Hmmm!! Another LIE! If not our old friends, then who? Are we also bringing Friends with us back from Abroad back home? Or we stand on the street looking for new Friends?... My old friend is family to me now

8. They condemn our culture and values

Not True! In fact many Parents ship their Kids back home to Learn our Cultures, Respect and Tradition. I know many people that removed their Kids from school and brought them to Naija to school and they can later return back after graduation

Bros, it's not about going to joints or say parting away with few thousands, no that amounts to nothing. Some of these friends don't even need those few thousands or drinks etc. They want and expect you to assist in stabilising them up with a business, which could run into a hundreds of thousands or million(s). That's the problem.

And even if you've got a few millions as a hustler you have other priorities than shortchanging yourself of such amount of money. Maybe you're saving to construct your own house even if it's a 3bed bungalow or planning to get married and need to prepare yourself with the challenges that comes with the union. No one will distance themselves from an old friend just coz of drinks or little stuff like that, it's more deeper than those stuff.

blueseacats:
I encourage anybody to act as they please, abeg,you can never please everyone. One person saw me using chewing stick and asked me if its even true I traveled abroad, cause I act like a bush man , the other asked how do I communicate with oyibo, cause all I hear you speak is broken English, it's almost like they are expecting you to intimidate them . And I think as opposed to feeling pride as a returnee, Nigerians have this inferiority completes around those who have been abroad. Which is digusting in my opinion.

brownlolly:


Very easy for me to identify you anywhere.

Good to have you here

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

Amefrica:


LOL that is actually true. I received a facebook message from an old friend a couple of months back, guess what he told me? That he want to start going to Dubai to import stuffs, like Nigga if I had that kind of money I would have opened a shoe store in Nigeria too. Someone also asked me to pay his 150, 000 naira school fees. Like y'all need to relax, I'm not even that rich yet. I work 10-12 hours a day to make sure I get to save after paying bills and send money home towards the completion of my house.

2. High level of Pride

Living abroad is not a guarantee that one will be richer than Dangote or Mike Adenuga so why the overbloated ego? Some will even make it look like they're doing you a favour talking to you. This is common with the ladies.

3. Unnecessary show off

I know of some Nigerians who have lived their whole life abroad and are still able to be casual. But for some, they will wear socks and jacket under the intense sun and will be screaming to people's hearing that they regret coming to Nigeria.

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.

5. They demand for undue Respect

Some of them are so proud that they will give you this proud look because they feel you want to beg pounds or dollars from them. I really don't blame them, after all it is what they experience often when they visit home as friends, family and even enemies want to benefit from their pocket.

6. Hotel becomes their home

I know most of them prefer lodging in a hotel because they are scared of mosquito bite, non availability of light and other negative factors in their parents' house. Though I wouldn't call this a silly act but I feel staying in your parents' house especially when located in the village will attract more parental blessing.

7. They neglect their old friends

This is common to some abroad based Nigerians. They tend to ignore the friends they left in Nigeria because they feel they have climbed the ladder of greatness. Last year, a very good friend of mine arrived from the UK and what surprised me most was that he refused to come to my house after a week of arrival. I used my church mind to go to his place and he started acting like I came to beg for money. This silly attitude of common with some of them.

8. They condemn our culture and values

It's a pity that some Nigerians are so engrossed with the westerner culture that they view African culture as being fetish and archaic when they returned home. For them to prostrate for elders and even their parents is like displaying stupidity act. This is nothing but outright nonsense.

ronald4lif:


Haha, like you don't know the way to Dubai and not interested in importation. It's really funny how some peeps thinks that once you're living abroad you should be wealthy and can do away with hundreds of thousands without blinking an eye.

I thought this mentality should have wane off by now that the world has been citified with most families having one or more relatives abroad, be it close or distant relatives. How much do these their diasporan siblings gives them that they should expect so much from friends?

The stress one goes through daily, sometimes having to wake up at the wee hours of dawn when the temperatures is biting isn't something to just part away with money like that. The bills are too much, only rents for one year can put up a 3bed bungalow. Sometimes you work and struggle just to offset these household bills. These friends hardly understands and whatever explanation you give seem to fall on deaf ears hence its best to maintain a distance from them.
