Oh yeah,  The Americans can be terrible,  In one sentence, they would use at least 3 - 5 bad words in it. Well, not all but I think alot of them do.

I'm sorry sheniqua, but what does ashewo means?

Oh I see you're not Nigerian.
Ashewo means prostitute.
That's the commonest insult men throw at women in Nigeria.
just like Americans would say the B word Nigerians say ashewo

Oh, Ok. Thanks. smiley

Yes, I'm a Malaysian.

Oh Goodness, I dont know how some people could manage to say words like that. I can't let it out at the tip of my tongue to begin with, Maybe because I grew up with a fierce mother thats why. smiley

The truth is I would rather someone call me names because they are losing than lay a hand on me. On this forum like most things in life people use insults to intimidate, just human behavior not going to attach it to Nigerians. I just flip it on them and make them look stupid. Am not going to lie down because you use words that might have no significance to me. From ashawo to gay which ever one does not bother me because am none of the above. If I were i would not let it bother me either because anything I do I try to do it to my best ability. cool smiley
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Gabry(f): 5:07pm On May 29, 2008
Good for you Savanaha. wink

Its the same thing like just now when that guy called me ugly like the devil and called me a bitch, I actually told him that I am not as low as him to say all those words. It felt good to me actually, At least I am not the one with the anger in me,

You are right, I think the truth is that there are bound to be rude people all over this earth. Depending on their mood, their day, the way they were brought up and etc etc.

I find Cornwall and Leicester to be a very peaceful and friendly place. The people are so friendly that you thought you were living in a Hallmark card. smiley

But in London, My Oh My Oh My, I think maybe its because its a city and people get stress I guess?

Maybe the little ones are not rude because theres the eldest there but I think the middle age Nigeriens can be alittle over the top at times.

Like today, a guy called me ugly like the devil and called me bitch and I did not call him anything to begin with and when another Nigerian guy ask him what is his problem, he told the guy to kiss his black ass, undecided

And like the other day, another guy called me a Malaysian Slut and not worth for a Nigerian guy since I did not talk to this guy at all also to begin with

And last week, another person called me a LovePeddler pretending to be a virgin. He just snap out and everyone thought he had his period or something,

Now thats what I call Plain Rude, (Sorry, I don't and never would saybad words or to swear but just to give examples. So excuse me for this time. Thank you)


LMAO grin grin grin grin

It seems You are in the midst of some very pissed off Nigerians. Where exactly do You live again? undecided

i dont know about Cornwall but I dont think Leicester is very friendly. Peaceful maybe but friendly, it is not really.
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Gabry(f): 5:24pm On May 29, 2008
Hey there, I live in Labuan Island, Malaysia.
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Gabry(f): 5:26pm On May 29, 2008
Cause in Leicester, I have family there so maybe because of that, I feel so at home.

Yes, Cornwall is so friendly. Its like as soon as you walk out from the hotel and out to the streets, everyone would wish you and give you a smile and will even talk to you although they dont know you at all.
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Uche2nna(m): 5:29pm On May 29, 2008
Just curious,

Is it a Nigerian dominated community? How do U know they are all Nigerians? Most Africans are black , U know and there are also black people living in America grin


And how come U are always in the midst of these so-called Nigerians undecided
Re: Why Are Nigerians So Abusive And Insulting? by Gabry(f): 5:34pm On May 29, 2008
Ok, for the first case, I saw his profile and he is from Lagos. Lagos is in Nigeria yes?

And for the 2nd and 3rd case, well, they are studying here in Malaysia and I know them from my boyfriend. Just an aquaintance but both guys are also from Nigeria.

I know there are many different types of black people around the world and I dont usually would offend a certain race if I dont know where they come from.

But dont get me wrong, Its not just Nigerians. even alot of Malaysian people are way beyond the limits. Its just that lately, they hit me and also I'm following the topic?

@Topic,

I know they are some people here whom are insulting and abusive but so is the rest of the other forums and so far. I think nairaland can be the 2nd top in my list
1) American Forum - Calling me ugly like her Dog's Anus
2) Nigerian Forum - Calling me ugly like the devil / So damn fat
3) Malaysian Forum - Stupid like a Donkey ass wipe
4) Suisse Forum - All Asians are so ugly that God should not make them to begin with
5) Spanish Forum - Ass Wipe

Yeap. . . So its not just Nairaland. Its everywhere but its all up to us whether if we are willing to listen to their no use insults or not.

I find they are very thin skin/sensitive people.  you mekk a little joke wid them - and them ready to drop a bomb on you. so what do they do? - they jump under 5 to 6  false monikers and go coo-coo.  Just their way to  intimidate you. . ,  . .but i just brush my shoulder off like Jay-Z.   wink Once you pick up their ways/culture/thinking - you'll be fine

You're missing the point - Nigerians are abusive when they feel insulted - fact.

What they want is for Nigerians to sing and dance whenever they are insulted by other people for fun. If you are insulted for entertainment as a Nigerian, you should laugh and clap for them.
