10. Following internet trends without proper thought Nigerians will celebrate Halloween, Fourth of July etc just because they see it online. We really need to stop incorporating trends we see on the internet into our lives without understanding them first.

You wan claim say In no son better pass Mercedes or Toyota? Motor wey never conduct any crash test? The chinko people wey dey do their own ordinary 40mp/h crash test dey fold their motor like toilet tissue paper?

Most dumb and foolish thread I've read this year

6. Running when everyone is running without asking why Nigerians are fond of doing this. Ask any group of Nigerians running why they’re doing so; you’d find that 80% are unaware of the reason for the mad dash. They only joined in just in case.

Next time there is pandemonium and people are running, forcefully stop people to ask them why they are running.

Nigeria only Vote for the party with the best slogan

Haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

7. Spending hours/days in Church premises. Nigerians are prepared to forgo earning a living just to spend days in a religious place of worship. You find that churches and mosques draw more people than social events that would benefit everyone.

In other words, you are ok if we spend the whole day on internet, or better still, Beer Parlours/ Clubs et al, right?
Issorait, kontinu your atheismation.

All of you blindly shouting "buy made in Nigeria" goods, how many things are even manufactured in Nigeria? Are the few ones manufactured here of good quality? I bought made in Nigeria sandals some time ago and it scattered within a month. Is your phone made here? What about your shoes, watches, etc. Let's stop deceiving ourselves, if there is any good product made in Nigeria, people will certainly buy it without hesitation.

9. Forming a fake accent after a two-week vacation abroad. Nigerians will spend a short holiday in UK/US and come back with a new accent, eating habit and even a different way of dressing. It’s gotten so bad that some Nigerians pick up new accents at the various international airports.

A friend of mine traveled to China for 2 months, when he came back, dude started saying Mehn, wasup and other gibberish he called accent. Abeg them dey talk mehnnn for China??

4. “Copycatism” .The spirit of “copycatism” is strong in Nigeria. When the popular blogger, Linda Ikeji unveiled a multi-million naira mansion, thousands of Nigerian youths decided they had a “forgotten” writing ability and wanted to become bloggers.The same thing happened in several industries like music, movies, beauty and makeup etc.

No be one person dey start something? I see something you do,I admire you and follow you ,is it a crime?

Like all human beings, Nigerians have faults.Many of our faults are laughable,others are not. Nigerians really take the cream when it comes to doing dumb things.While I’m always proudly Naija, sometimes we have to face the truth. Here are some silly things Nigerians do:


1. Turning into keyboard warriors when someone expresses a negative opinion about Nigeria.This is so common. No one on social media can express any negative views about Nigeria without many Nigerians turning into keyboard warriors and attacking such a person.People should be free to have their opinions whether you agreewith them or not. Let’s stop bullying non-Nigerians on socialmedia.

And yet, Nigerians are themselves always expressing negative comments about Nigeria to their foreign audience, whenever they travel to other countries. If it is not armed robbery, they will bewail 'NEPA', or complain about Nigerian corruption or just gawk and compare the 'greatness' of their host country with Nigeria's lack of 'nice' things. Nigerians talk about little more than their dirty laundry when abroad. Such people should be stripped of their citizenship and made to live inside one bush. Annoying.

Abeg OP, when u see everyone dey run for ur sleep, remain der dey ask dem wetin happen, u go stand till if no be bullet hit u, na matches go hit u



Me I go run finish before I ask wetin happen



Safety first...

5. Holding football coaches more accountable than political office holders.This is particularly sad. An average Nigerian will hold his Premier League coach accountable for losing an important match but will never hold his elected official responsible for bad decisions. Decisions that affect his well-being.

Yes Nigerians love it when other people do their work for them, especially God.
They spend hours in churches believing God has done it before so he can do it again.
And so MOG use it as a way of milking you with, sow this seed and that and your reward will be great.
All because we are usually lazy

3. Voting a political candidate because of tribe or religion.Nigeria is divided along religiousand ethnic lines. Many people will rather vote a corrupt candidate from their tribe than an honest one from another tribe.Let’s vote who has our best interests at heart rather than let tribe and religion divide us.

tell that to our hausa brothers.
