360command: U are a very silly person..wat is your own with wat a Nigerian brings along wit from home wen going abroad. Is it only Nigerians? why not Africans, Indians, Iranians, Chinese, Thais etc.. silly post, silly you!

Abeg read the article again. Who is arguing or disparaging what Nigerians bring abroad. I am just listing the things you will always find in a Nigerian house. I guess that is a crime.

Typical Nigerian, does not read the article but he is running his mouth.

I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say Nigerians will always be Nigerians- whether at home or abroad. You see that in little things they do like some comments they make, their view on things or even what they surround themselves with. Here's an article that gives a typical example of things Nigerians abroad surround themselves with to 'feel' home a little:


Nigerians in Diaspora | 5 things you'll find in every Nigerian's home Abroad

Moving from your home country to a new country is one of the hardest things anyone can do. To adjust to our new environment we try to surround ourselves with products that we used back home or remind us of home (consciously or unconsciously). Nigerians are no different, and here are 5 products you are sure to find in a Nigerian’s house abroad...

4. Wrappers
Yes there are fancy night gowns, pajamas and sexy Victoria secret lingerie but for the ultimate comfort just tie a wrapper and go about your business. Nothing reminds you of home or screams that you are a Nigerian than a wrapper…

I'm sure you'll agree that everyone misses home even a little bit (some admit it and others refuse to).

Please, share some things you believe Nigerians will always have in their homes whether home or abroad.

Thank you to Intel company.They have promised to sponsor 9 Nigerian students to south Africa to compete in a science competition involving secondary schools in Africa.
The Federal government has promised to distribute mobile phones to 10m farmers.This is meant to enhance fast tracking of farming support.
Microsoft is also planning to include Nigerian youths in job opportunities in the next three years.
The MasterCard foundation has promised to provide education to disadvantaged yet talented students particularly in secondary schools and universities.
This comes along with much more in the link below.

It's a good thing that a way to start a business in Nigeria is to invent something. A Nigerian just invented Africa's first local car- see below

Innovation in Nigeria/Africa

Nigerian invents power-generating machine, makes Africa’s first local car : Perhaps, Nigeria would have joined the likes of Germany, Japan, India and Malaysia as an automobile manufacturer as far back as 1997 when Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu, an electrical/electronics engineer, a doctor of science and lecturer of communications and electronics engineering at the Federal Polytechnic, Owerri, made a prototype of his first ever all-African car which he named Z-600.
