This is funny. We are too serious in this part of the world and inadvertently carry the seriousness with us when we travel. It's not our fault joor.

Too many lies, Twitter the homey of cruise

Anytime my Boss did necessary things for me,I'm which is compulsory for him to do it,I will say thanks Boss and he will reply me that, don't have to thank me,is what I am entitled for and he must do it....

Lolzzz. The useless mods finally moved this to the front page after it was all over social media in Dec 2020. So you guys are tired of moving boobs, ass, twerking, worthless awards and pageant to the front page? Clowns.

Thank God your senses are gradually coming back to normal.

My own cultural shock in Nigeria is when those who didn't go out to vote on election day will complain more than those that stood on the queue for 2 hours to vote.

Another is when those that failed in the university will keep saying, "School na scam" while buying another JAMB form.

I'm always proud of my culture 'Anywhere' I find myself

The coke own is so hilarious

My own experience was when I was studying for my masters and i was just standing close to the lecture hall entrance and I saw my prof , a young lady in her late 30’s walking towards the hall having her bag and her heavy text books all in her hands, wanted to collect the load and help her but she declined and I was literally dragging the load from her and she responded “ thanks .. it’s my responsibility “

If there was a way to stop Nigerians from going to saner climes I bet you this criminals in aso rock will not even blink...the western world exposes their flaws, you can imagine how we have gladly embraced living without electricity and wen light come we go shout "up NEPA". Really working hard to leave this shithole. God willing next year

Do you believed those ghost


Those are the stranded once in abroad

But why must we ditch our culture just because we are outside of our country, Chinese, Japanese, etc bow when they greet, Indians and co put their hands together to greet and everybody all over the world know this!
Indians and some Arabs wear turbans and it is not a shock for them to wear it outside of their country!
Why is it that our ways of greeting is an embarrassement to us outside of our land? I can understand the embarrassement in the use of SIR and MA during greetings because it is not our culture, we borrowed and over use it.
If I bow down to greet a foreign elder and the person is embarrassed, I will rather sit the person down and teach him or her my culture.
If any young person travel abroad and come back to start calling me by my first name. Hmmm hen, they way I will flog or talk to the young person, surely he or she will be culture-shocked second time!

It is shocking that what shocks an average European does not shock a Nigerian.

I just wonder, if we will ever get a country like Nigeria to work.

..


Nope this country won't work.

I think that sane environment is were I belong to.
Na so I pass one Baba in the morning ooo I greet ham, not up to an hr again I passed without greeting,the Baba don dey tag me uncultured child.
As a Teenager, one of my cousins came to Nigeria from UK with her English Husband (Mid Thirties)
na so I dey bow they greet ham , I nor kwn say the guy dey para for me Cox of the way I do greet him to the extent the guy dey avoid me & nor come dey dash me something again. He has to tell my Sis that I should not been greeting him like that, that we are in a civilized world.

One tin when shook me pass
You buy cloth for shop, you return ham after 2wks , them still give you change ontop the mata, say the cloth price don reduce since you buy ham.
I wonder if a very honest Nigerian will do that.
They will say God don answer their prayers.
Am not sure if I will do that either.

That is too much now, even here in Nigeria when your Prof says I'm OK, you better back off be dat otherwise some Profs will rain insult on you if you insist

Everyone, country or continent have different cultures and none are perfect. Culture exchanges and modifications are very good and helpful.

There are relatively a lot of practices here in Africa and particularly Nigeria that are considered awkward or insane in other advanced nations.
Read below, testimonies of such and feel free to add yours in the comments.
