Where Do You Find Nigerians Most Uncivilized? by acidtalk: 5:52pm On Apr 04, 2012
It is a norm no Nigerians to always jump queues and be in a hurry in everthing they do.

An avearage Nigerian feels he/she is wiser and smarter when they avoid queuing up at the Banking Hall, Eatery, Gas Station, ATM points, Event/show, Cinemas e.t.c

Nigerians where do you get most irritated when people do not want to obey simple rules and morals, mine regulalrly happens at the Banking Hall and Eatery were I have to correct people to behave civilized irrespective of their age and status.

Nigerians are just uncivilised in everywhere! They cross well trimed lawn when there is clearly a walk way laid out, because they think it will waste their time following the walkway! In a five minute trafic hold up, you will simply see a normal two lane road become four lanes with everybody huting their car horns and raining abuses on each other! Nigerians never beleive in queing and waiting patiently for their turn, they will either jump the que and still feel superior doing so or they try to bribe the person charge to put them infront and they feel they are then the smartest. Hum, Nigerians!

The Nigerian mentality is uncivilized, especially the eurocentric coons.

Shooooor!!! Getting better or getting worse.

Go to eateries like Tastee Fried Chicken where there's always a long queue, see Nigerians rushing like they are begging for the food which will be given to them free of charge. Whereas they are paying their hard earned cash.


An average Nigerian is just impatient.

The word 'Nigeria' itself is uncivilized, just as most of the educated Nigerians are uncivilized.

The only civilized Nigerians are the ones living in the Villages who can think critically.

Most of the educated Nigerians act "civilized" but civilization is not about mimicking, it's about creating something unique based on your consciousness.

I rest my case.

Nigerians are generally at their most uncouth when aboard international flights, or in foreign airports. They hiss like serpents, or purse their lips and make squealing noises to attract the attention of cabin crew, NEVER say "please" or "thank you" for anything, and leave the entire cabin looking like the aftermath of a food fight by the end of each flight.

Bellowing at deafening volume on their cell phones as they try and barge into the front of long orderly passenger lines in airport terminals, Nigerians are also hard to miss between flights, where their presence is usually marked by enormous floor-to-ceiling mountains of "hand luggage", most of which is unceremoniously taken off the loudly protesting travelers and tossed in the hold where it belonged in the first place.

Other than these minor quibbles, Nigerians are very cultured and urbane ha ha.

I learnt nigerians always give way to oyinbos in queues at supermarkets as if oyinbos are gods in nigeria.

Animals,that is why they are religious,they don't know what it is to be humans.

This is also very correct.
Go to Goodies Supermarket, Pack and Shop, the Palms and even the Interbational airport. You will be irritated at the way even koreans, chinese and pakistans are given preferential treatment at the detriment of fellow Nigerians. I see it though that its all inferiority complex playing out.

Na wa o,una don finish us o but seriously most of what's been said here is true,the incivility level of many Nigerians is really alarming.

Re: Where Do You Find Nigerians Most Uncivilized? by rman: 10:04am On Apr 05, 2012
Roads :drivers and their way of driving)
Banking halls: Jumping ques, calling staffs they know to attend to them when obviously it is not their turn.
Airports: Bringing everyone from the family and friends to crowd departure lounge, noise making etc
Bus stops: Pushing and shoving to get on buses with regard for elderly people, physically disadvantage people or school kidds (Lagos is notorious of this)
Public toilet use: Can't even talk about this.
Political office holders: We all know, all these corruption is reflection of lack of civilization

The most uncivilized place (in terms of peoples behaviour) in Nigeria goes to Lagos. Where is everyone rushing to?

Hope you are not referring to my wife. Every other day we are traveling, and we seem to have around free 90kg baggage allowance, she would make sure she arrange all the traditional food she can get at the time frame- garri, yam flour, meat, dry fish, locust beans, baby food, weave on, make-up sad, and when all these are arranged, I would only be left with around 6kg for my personal belongings sad Thank God for the free hand luggage smiley I believe many people will be pitying me at the airport wheneven they see me carrying those heavy luggage as if I am a weight lifter cheesy Anytime we are traveling, it's a big headache for me. I believe many married men here will be experiencing the same phenomenon.

Buses - throwing out left overs, all sorts of dirty things
At airports - making noise, jump ques, push, abusing
Bus stops - pick-pockets, rushing, pushing, accusing, abusing
Re: Where Do You Find Nigerians Most Uncivilized? by manmustwac(m): 10:29am On Apr 05, 2012
Here ib london noigerians aa fond of walking out of long queues (like post offices and banks) ask someone to save thier space and come back later sometimes even after the person saving their space has even left and cause arguments with other customers because they think it is their god given right to walk back in front of the queue. angry

You're right my man. We, however, have no choice than to bear our burden. Though, our women are sometimes erratic in behavior, but we can't do without them. After several years in marriage, I learned that our wives are more or less like our mothers smiley May God give us the strength to take care of them and children. It's not an easy thing my broda smiley.
