Hey guys,
i'm often amazed at how people can pick out a Nigerian from a group of multinationals. How do u know that one is a Nigerian?

by their faces you shall know them

i find it hard to fish out NIGERIANS from a group of ghanaians and nigerians  

depends - if he is ibo - his trouser is big and pulled up to his navel, if he is Hausa, he is as slim as panla - if he is Calabar - he will be a short man devil, if na Warri, im face go dey red like fire, if na yoruba - him fit get mark for face or him go dey look right, look left as if them dey pursue am, if na woman, if na ibo woman, him go yellow well well, or im breast go just shoot out - poi, if na yoruba woman, im idebe - aka ikebe - go dey do 17, 18, 19 bobo - roll one side, roll that side etc. if na calabar girl, im go fat from middle to down, if na hausa, him go get cheek and fat neck like Atiku.

Okay, after all these, if them come dey talk, abeg, make we leave that one yet.

lmfao

says who - the other day - one Nigerian went to a fast food joint - says, please give me hambujer (hamburger) and the waiter corrected him by saying, it is not everything that has a "g" in it that is pronounced "g" -  so the guy said - sorry i am a stranger  as in prnouncing the g as he would have pronounced a burger.

eiyaaaa. lol . poor guy
but y do some of them say hamburger when the really mean beef burger

because, in short i dont know o- do u know?

hamburger, beef burger, whataburger, all that matters is there is a burger in between, and maybe to them hamburger sounds more like it, afterall there is hamburger in naija

, lol. Oga S_eun, appears you've hung out around many Nigerians. Well i no go burn your cable ^^^^^Kellorah.

What i've heard is that Nigerians have very distinct facial features like high cheek bones.
And that they either love to attend school or make a lot of money.  
The true test however is the accent . Some Nigerians no matter the number of years overseas , that typical way of speaking and communication, (for example , that ibotic nna drawl) still lingers.  . E no go change.

i can spot a nigerian from a mile off. even though a lot of them like to front with fake accents (i wonder why they do that! it kills me!) no matter how much they pretend i know them. its in the eyes and mannerisms no matter what they wear and no matter how long they've been here.! . i can also spot them because they overdo. even more than oyibo man sef.

Somehow, you can tell, by their mannerisms and speech. However, there is no distinct way of knowing (other than tribal marks and the rest) if someone is from Nigeria or not.

some nigerian look african americanz no lie on this there was this nigerian girl in my school she look african american she dont got no acsent nothing but one day i heard speaking yoruba with her friend with her sista so i ask her if she nigerian and she said yeah.

there is no difference between an african american and an african. we look exactly the same until we open our mouths. whoopi goldberg, bernie marc, notorious B.I.G ,wesley snipes etc all look very african. just so you know!

except if theres some white blood in them that they can look different ok?

hahaha jokes well to know a nigerian


well the way they speak still loool u would always know,
the way they dress up omdz
and some words they use as well u wuld always tell,

Guys I'm in Senegal and I can say that they many Nigerians here, The only way we know them is the way they dress, their height, the shape of their face and nose and also the way they talk( they shout a lot even if they make jokes!!!).
Well that's how people know if this person is a naija people or not here in Senegal.

i still can't identify my 9ja people unless i hear them speak (those with 9ja accent)
