6. When a woman cooks for her husband everyday

Nigerian wives cook for their husbands not because it is compulsory or they are forced to do it. They cook for their husbands to show how much they love them and also because it is part of our culture and traditions.

5. Interaction with elderly people is just too formal

Nigerians show the much older people respect by being formal with them. For instance: calling your friend’s parents as Mr and Mrs Lagbaja.

Nigerians are raised with the mentality to be formal and respectful to the elders.

With the blend of the western culture and our culture, this is not the case. Nowadays, the young generation show respect to elderly people based on their experience and affluence. They believe age is not equal to respect.

4. Bizarre Greeting Methods

People abroad think our greeting methods and habits are bizarre.

Our greeting methods are part of our culture and that is why we stick to it. Our greeting styles (Ladies kneel down while Men prostrate on the floor) are part of our heritage, a sign of respect, it is who we are and we are proud of it.

3. They think Nigerian Languages sound weird

Nigerian languages are sweet and if you don’t understand it, you are missing. Many foreigners spend money to study our languages in Universities abroad. (You think say e easy?)

2. Yikes! They cook with Red Oil!


Foreigners believe we cook most of our meals with red oil (Palm oil). I met Cheng in China Town, Ojota and he expressed how he felt about eating food made with red oil. He said, “even though it was dreadful for me the first time I ate Egusi soup made with palm oil, I will never forget the delicious taste and aroma; now I eat Naija soups like a Nigerian”.

If you haven’t tasted soups or moi moi made with palm oil, cooked beans made with palm oil, you are seriously missing. These meals are utterly delicious!

1. Foreigners think Nigerians are noisy and loud.


Like seriously? I don’t believe Nigerians are loud and noisy; we are quiet and reserved people.

If we sound loud or speak in high pitched voices, it means we are either having fun or you just stepped on our toes.

Nevertheless, we love life and always want to have a good time.

Most foreigners have misconceptions about Nigerians because they really do not understand how great we are. Being a Nigerian, I was curious about our general eccentricities and I decided to find out things foreigners find odd about us.

Some of the answers I got are overwhelming and pretty hilarious.

Here are 10 things people abroad find odd about Nigerians:

They will avoid your house like shit. We keep suffering and smiling because we don't know our rights, or we know but are too lookworm or lackadaisical to act.
Hence the suffering and smiling cycle continues.

Exactly what my dad did... he sued their ass and the court told them to sign a document saying we were wrongly charged. So whenever the idiots come around all we have to do is show them the document.

The best way to avoid this is to take the readings before the idiots come knocking to read your meter.

Damn... my people are angry cheesy I just hope TStv will not disappoint us. The expectations are too high. What will finally be the downfall of Dstv is if TStv introduces channels such as Zee World and Telemundo which most stay-at-home mums and wives love so much.

Delta state the worst state i have ever lived in, In the whole of my sojourn across Nigeria.
Totally morally backwards, from sex, to ritual, all sort of menace, Sapele is worst. I dont want to remember.
Apologies if you're from delta. Doo!
First I don't know how long u spent in the state and your encounters but you are wrong in all you said.

Just because things didn't go well with you while you were there doesn't mean you will castigate an entire state just to get likes on NL.
