Why Do Nigerians Say Sorry Before Asking A Question? Epic Reply by haydeey(op):
I've been wondering why some nigerians always say sorry before asking a question. They say words like:
"sorry, may I use the toilet?"
"sorry, can I borrow your car?" e.t.c

See the epic reply someone gave a social media user that asked the question.

Its an apologetic prelude to wasting another person's time with questions.


Naija too respectful.
