An average Nigerian fine girl receives over 15 'how was your night?' daily, with her usual reply "fine, urs?" 3 Likes |

And if you say "hope you slept well?", her usual reply "Yes". From there a boring, predicted chatting pattern begins. post=73826136: 1 Like |

It is wrong to ask someone, "how was your night" by way of greeting. What happened during the night is purely an individual private matter. I do not even respond to such questions. 1 Like |

Liz, I think it is a Nigerianised expression. |

post=73825902: i guess its nigerian english to ask like that, but i think its also direct translation from native langauges, "you would be asking, did you sleep well" as per brits the only time you ask "how was your night" (without the sexual thing) is when one was working a night shift so, you would be literally asking "how was work but specifically a nightshift hence "how was your night" aka how did the night go if there was no nightshift work of sort, then literally you are asking about sex last night then if its a doctor, s/he is simply asking did you sleep well, the question would be relating to whatever brought you to see him/her |

post=73825911: While I agree "How was your night?" is not necessarily for strangers, I don't believe it is wrong either. Don't let angry people change you. You are to change them. That's why you're a Light. How do I mean? Even "Good Morning" provokes an angry person. Haven't you heard responses such as "What's good about the morning?" Does that mean you should also delete that from your greeting? By the time you're done satisfying every angry person, you will be left with Body Language which can also be misinterpreted. Please if you really genuinely care about someone's night perhaps because you sense their countenance, please it's OK to ask. You might be able to bring a smile on their face at the end of the conversation and make their day and maybe even the rest of their nights. All the best. 2 Likes |
