Why is my mind telling me that she is not saying the truth?

They don't ever believe that they should drop some of their social attributes.

Maintains pidgin the moment they sight a Nigerian

Asks intrusive questions like which university did you finish from? Not knowing that things like that that are very normal to Nigerian, could be very personal to other cultures including Nigerians living abroad who have imbibed foreign cultures.

Guys why is my schedule and reschedule buttons all greyed out.

I was able to get a far day through a call centre agent but I can't use any of the buttons from my end.

I have tried everything they suggested including changing browser, changing the centre in DS 160 etc, to no avail.

Any useful suggestion will be appreciated.

Oh I din see him name. I misread his head.

What Is It with Being Nigerian?


It was a freezing night in Addis Ababa. I had arrived on a layover en route to Cape Town, South Africa, aboard Ethiopian Airlines. After checking into the hotel arranged for passengers in transit, I dropped my bag and headed to the lounge, hoping to shake off the cold and perhaps the solitude of travel.

The room was dimly lit, quiet, and welcoming. As I scanned for a seat, my eyes settled on a man at the far end of the room, alone at a long table, completely immersed in a hearty Ethiopian meal. The spread before him was generous—a ripple-textured flatbread (unmistakably, the Ethiopian Injera), heaps of shredded meat, and a steaming bowl of greenish soup. But what caught my attention more than the food was the way he ate it—with his bare hands, deliberate and unbothered.

He wore a flowing white gown and a turban-like cap. His beard was long and dignified, and his presence was almost regal. Everything about him—his dress, demeanour, and quiet intensity—gave the unmistakable impression of an Arab man. Or so I thought.

And yet, something didn’t fully align.

His accent wasn’t quite Middle Eastern, and his expressions had a peculiar modernity to them. Even the rhythm of his voice carried strange inflections, as though shaped by multiple cultures. All the signs were there, and yet… none of them pointed definitively to any one place.

Still intrigued, I approached and politely asked to join him. He extended his free hand—the one not committed to the meal—for a handshake and gestured to the empty seat beside him. We exchanged names and pleasantries, and soon I found myself being gently nudged to try his meal, which he insisted was one of the finest Ethiopian dishes. I politely declined. My curiosity lay elsewhere.

After a while, another gentleman joined us—a cheerful fellow from Sierra Leone. He settled into the conversation with ease, and we exchanged stories and laughter. Then he asked our mysterious friend the question that had hovered in my mind all evening:

“Where are you from?”

The man stopped eating. A mischievous smile formed on his lips.

“Guess,” he said, brushing aside the question like a magician guarding a secret. “Try if you can.”

He offered clues—obscure, elaborate, and impossible to follow. The Sierra Leonean tried his best, weaving guesses with impressive socio-political analysis. The man applauded his intellect and complimented the quality of education in Sierra Leone, but offered no confirmation.

Eventually, it was my turn. I had listened long enough.

“You’re from the United States,” I said calmly.

There was a sudden pause.

The man froze, eyes widening in surprise. Slowly, he lowered his hand and stared at me with disbelief.

“I am speechless,” he finally said. “I’ve asked so many today, and none guessed right.”

The Sierra Leonean smiled, perhaps humbled, and announced it was time for bed. I suspect he didn’t want the praise for his country’s education to be reevaluated.

Then came a quieter moment.

My mysterious acquaintance turned to me, now curious himself. “What is your country?” he asked.

“I am Nigerian,” I replied.

From across the lounge, a voice rang out with quiet certainty:
“I thought as much.”

My not-so-Arab, now-American friend stood up, called for the waiter to clear the table, and announced his bedtime.

As I sat there watching him walk away, his white robe trailing like a curtain in the wind, I couldn’t help but reflect on that final statement from a distance.

What is it with being Nigerian?

A south African lady he met in a shopping mall said he should pay for her items before she could give him her number. As if she didn't mean it, she said it's a way if testing his seriousness.
This is really a culture shock. Does asking for a number entail asking a girl out there. I also noticed same thing happens in the US. You ask for a girl's no and she answers that she has a boy friend.

This freshness in detention sha

A Cameroonian oncologist took to his WhatsApp status to lament the gory state of the health sector Africa citing high expectations from patients and lack of resources to meet them.
It's really unfortunate that this issue persists across the continent even when a centurion president seeks tenure elongation, feeble and without much achievements.

It may be self, not racism

I bumped into documents explaining the deportation of five people from the US to Eswatini and the government position.

From the document, high level diplomatic engagements and security assessments were made by the Kingdom of Eswatini before allowing the US described in the document as age long ally to the kingdom to send the deportees who are presently being detained in a correctional facility in an isolated part of the kingdom. According to the document, the detainees are only on transit and will be sent to their various counties after due processes. They neither pose any security thread to the citizens of the kingdom nor to their fellow inmates.

The names of the countries where the deportees are originally nationals are not revealed in the document.

What will you do, if you find this in your freshly cooked pot of soup?

Oga add viewer discretion for this kain front page post.

Those who pumped the past head of state with steroid to prove his virility and capacity to rule in the trolling criticisms concerning his health and age should be investigated and prosecuted.

Findings show that the ex president was persistently under different steroids administered with the assistance of his UK doctors which gave him different structural postures in different times resulting to suspicions that the Daura puritan could be a double.

The effect of some steroids are mainly quick organ damage especially when the resources for constant medical check ups with those that know the drug history wane or lack. The ex president might not have the usual resources for a constant check ups which might have resulted in fatal outcomes.

Politics in Nigeria is really terrible. May God bless the good man's soul.

Pleas permit me to ask this question borne our of my personal observation.

Why do people from Jos always form some kind of social or elitist group in an organisation where they work?

6 Presidents

5 Standing

One Sitting

Me: I love the fact that Tinubu (Our Jagaban) is not there!.

What is your problem? The one sitting is the POTUS. The other ones would have been given dress codes also.

Opposition figure Peter Obi has said if he is elected as President of Nigeria, he has all it takes to make the Northen part of Nigeria to celebrate him.

Pls this is what brought Jonathan down. They ended up betraying him. Tinubu understands this dynamic.

What are your facts? Or you just spew ignorance.? What did your Tinubu do as president?

zero8zero:
The woman at the center of a controversial land ownership dispute in Lagos, Mrs. Olorunlogbon, has issued a scathing response to former presidential candidate Peter Obi, accusing him of politicizing and misrepresenting facts surrounding a property demolition that recently gained public attention.


Obi had taken to his X handle to decry the demolition of a property he claimed belonged to his family. However, in a full-length statement, Mrs. Olorunlogbon accused Obi of peddling contradictions and misleading the public on a matter that is currently sub judice.
