Just came across this and I have to say his right

How well do you try and get to know other Nigerians in the UK? Do you pretend you are from another country if you are approached by a Nigerian, if

so, Why. Have you ever had a bad experience trying to associate with other Nigerians. Why am I asking?

I met a Nigerian guy in Brighton who after about an hour finally admitted to being a Nigerian. Naturally I asked why he was in denial. Apparently, he

used to try and help our fellow brothers and sisters until he lost everything because a fellow Brother informed the authority about his status.

I rmb once at Heathrow a guy looked at me and said "Honduras"? I'm like nahh. . . 

_{*sitting and watching*} 

Sure do, as they are most warm and friendliest people on earth. They do know how to enjoy life and are very cool about everything. They are also very proud of who they are.

well, if i associate with every nigerian ive met?
no
do i claim to be nigerian every where i go?
no
y cos there are too many wierdos n creepy fellas out there

that said, i'll be spotted wearing my 'naija 4 life' tank on odd days

Is it that you go looking for Nigerians or what?

well, if i associate with every nigerian i meet in uk?
NO. i interract with them, but i do not develop a relationship (friendship)!

do i claim to be nigerian every where i go?
NO, i m an African!

sometimes when my oyinbo collegues ask where i am from. i tell them AFRICA

associating with other nigerians
nope, not all of them
do i claim to be nigerian everywhere i go
hell yeah, am always proud to be a nigerian

If it is just in general conversation and I am asked then I will say Nigeria. If it is for business I will not say Nigeria. Usually Nigeria and if they ask what part then I will say west Africa if they still insist then I will say Nigeria. I will never say another country though. I actually started to do the whole africa thing last year. Nigerians are not making it easier either. As far as associating with other Nigerians that just started recently when I moved and joined the RCCG in my area and so far it has been exactly as I feared it would be. Aside from my family and a few people I grew up with I just do not jive with most Nigerians in the US

They're AMEBO is too mush/they're just too much wahala.

And a host of other things

If u're really in the US. Stay away from James Bassey, he also goes to RCCG <he looks for young innocent women> to prey upon. He's a church devil in disguise.

I am not innocent so I am safe . When I move to a different state I plan to worship in a more diverse church for sure.

What does that mean ? u're not innocent ? aaaah i c, yup I concur. More diverse churches work well and they have for me.




_{Well, he is always willing, ready, and able to phuck you as long as you give him money/or pay for his rent. Doesn't matter if u're married or if u have a BF.}

ROTFLMAO. He will not bother me then. Me pay a man's bills. Ha. I laugh.

even  you deny to be nigerian    abroad  just one thing will identify what you are . is your  English( The Accent).

Honestly, I think this question is sorta stupid, because I think its obvious that you are Nigerian through your first or last name.

and plus, there are some Nigerians that don't have accents, I've travelled a lot and unless Im in Nigeria, with my family, or amongst Nigerians speaking in my Nigerian accent/dialect, aside from this, you can never know or determine that im Nigerian just be hearing me speak English/and if you catch me abroad.

FAAKAY


YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE BOTTOM. GBWAM.

@Faakay, I guess you should work around with a BIG SIGN on your forehead saying you are Nigeria, 

Read the question posed again:

Re:  Do You Associate With Other Nigerians?

_{The question doesn't say Do you Deny Nigeria ? It says do you ASSOCIATE WITH OTHER NIGERIANS ?}

@ pasakosa
you need to be rebrand

well the issue is:

In Nigeria, you have no choice since 99% of the people you meet with daily are Nigerians.

When you go abroad, you do have a choice of socially interacting with only Nigerians or some other group.

Its up to you and I dont worry myself over other people's choices in this area.

Most Nigerians still stick with their comfort zone anyway so whats the problem.

most of my close friends are nigerians. I don't develop a relationship with all nigerians. no different from back home not every one is your friend. I don't go out of my way to deny being nigerian, tell you that I am nigerian, meet nigerians, or avoid nigerians. I just live my life

I associate with nice well meaning people irrespective of their country of origin, race, colour, sex, age, educational/social status, etcetera etcetera.

I don't associate with most Nigerians because they gossip too much.

LOL, I second you on that one Mama gee. the keys not letting them know you bizness. Naija people can seat down and analyze someone else's life. I only wish the passion dedicated to gossiping and backbiting was translated into work ethic
