Not every guest would read such, some might not even notice.

Potential guests should familiarize themselves with the culture of whoever they want to visit, so you don't possibly make cultural faux pass.

Maybe we should probably interpret it in different languages and hand over to our guests. grin

Don't insult me please, moreso I don't know you.

Perhaps you should reveal your previous ids so we can know if you're someone I have insulted before in the distant past.

Focus on the topic, do not derail the thread.

You people are too quick to jump on bandwagons, very bad taste especially given what is happening in South Africa right now.

Our present culture is screaming "be prudent, be prudent", and every Nigerian by now ought to have familiarized themselves with that, but no, some guests don't really care.

let it go nitori Olorun.

Open a separate thread for whatever you are discussing.

I don't like when you people just fixate on me anyhow, it's so annoying.

Moderator, lock the thread please if these folks persist.

Please let peace reign. No fighting on my thread, I beg ooo

Golden rule - leave your witches at the door before entering the house. Meaning keep your opinions to yourself.

Before visiting a fellow Nigerian, especially overseas, find out what their cultural rules are concerning visitation. And much better not to go alone.

In parts of Nigeria, I was told (I don't know if it's true) when you visit someone, the standard greeting is "My enemy is here, where is my weapon?", spoken in the host's own dialect to the visitor who imagines the host is welcoming him or her.
It's true. It's a tribe in kogi state. In Yoruba translation, it means "ota mi re, ada mi da). In the tribe, ota (which in common Yoruba dialect is enemy) refers to friend while ada (which in common Yoruba dialect is cutlass) refers to father. ��.

Yes. Some people will be forming boss in someone else's house. They really should drop their opinion at the door when entering and pick it up when leaving.

Others come to scan your house, observe the way family live, then go out to gossip about their observations.

This is a big language barrier. Funny, but scary.
