You may be probably wondering what I would say especially those of you living here too cos everyone is extremely free to do as he pleases but there are things peculiar to US and not in Nigeria or other countries, I will list just five (7)

1. Dont forget to tip : while no one will question you if you dont tip, it is actually considered rude if you dont tip.

2. Dont come out of your car when the cop stop you : In US, the police is trained to respond to what they feel is a threat, so its better to stay in your car when you are stopped, the cop will come meet you

3.Dont say you hate Donald Trump In US, the leaders and constitution is respected irrespective of their flaws, it will be nice as a visitor, u stay completely out of US politics.

4. Football is not soccer : American football is not thesame as soccer, the average American doesn't know who Ronaldo is, when you say football, you are referring to American football and if you know little about US football, its better not to discuss anything football.

5. Americans love their personal space its advisable not to "frolic" around someone properties, you may have the cops to deal with

6. Know who to tip you can tip a waitress but not the manager, dont tip your doctor, you could tip your personal nurse and please do not tip a policeman

7. US is an expensive country Always have more than what numbeo or epi says


I would appreciate if others could add

Don't Do Fraud.

Work On Your Perversion.

l feel this is not just particular to USA.

Every country frown at fraud

You're right but many will get away with fraud in many developing nations unlike a developed nation like the U.S.

I'm happy that lousy bastard (Hushspuppi) is in the U.S. custody now.

Don't ever associate yourself with the name Nigeria if you don't want to be isolated..

Claim Iranian rather than Nigerian.

Don’t take advice from those who have never been to the US.

Don’t put family and friends that live in America in an awkward position by being a bad guest, not following laws, or overstaying your visa.

If you are coming on a student visa, don’t decide not to regular attend the school you were issued the visa to attend. Recently, the immigration agencies have begun to reach out to the schools on a frequent basis to verify the student on the visa is still enrolled and attending classes. If the student is not, the government will then say that student failed to report their change of status and the student’s information will be given to ICE.
This is one of the most common reasons for deportation.

The U.K. is very strict on this.

Hi there my friend!

Hi there my friend!

Howdy, my attorney?

If anyone does something for you.... no matter how small ... as in holding a door open for you... picking up the umbrella you dropped... giving you directions.... always say thank you... they are serious about this and will say it loud for you if you don't.

Stay away from drug infested cities of America. Live in the suburbs and your children will thank you later.

Minor "correction" on #5 ....some will outright shoot you coz Americans have guns like no other country.

Also don't litter everywhere like we do in Onitsha ,Lusaka Zambia or Accra Ghana .

To be honest, i haven't seen that in USA and moreover the state where people carry gun mostly is Mississippi and houston where crime and drug is prevalent, though the personal space is also not particular to every state as you can't do without it in manhattan since u can't find a family home.
Also Soho has waste littered on the streets especially chinatown.

Thanks for sharing this princess. I can attest to most of these. I'll follow you. Thanks

Not all big girls you see are adults. Ask for age before you continue.

Not all people dressed like a woman are truly women. Some Trans will look more beautiful than real women. Ask about gender at birth before you continue.

This is for my guys.
