Funny Nigerian behaviour


check out this one ....

1.. Almost everyone arrives at the party late - hence the
reference, "African time".

2.. You were given one invitation card, but you invite 20 other friends.

3.. You call the attention of the people serving food by saying
"please we haven't eaten in this area o!"

4.. Even when it was obvious that no drinks was served, you still ask "don't you have any drinks?

5.. At a kids party scheduled to start at 5pm and finishing at
12am, you arrive with kids (some of them already sleeping) at 11pm.

6.. You go back to ask for more food and drinks.

7.. You dance to "Obesere" or "Fela" music as if your life depended on it.

8.. You go to the dance floor and start "spraying" dollar notes.  ;D

9.. You hear people talking, as if they are in a fight, about
sports and politics.

10.. Towards the end of the party you see people going into the helping themselves to "take away" food and drinks.

11.. You ask the DJ to play a specially recorded cassette tape you brought with you.  8)

12.. You ask the caretaker of the hired hall to extend the party time by bribing him with money and drinks.

13.. Most of the guys are frowning and cussing because fufu, semo, gira or eba wasn't served.

14.. More than two bouncers are at the door that leads to where the foods/drinks are kept.  8) 8)

15.. The men are sitting in groups, instead of sitting with their
women.

16.. You hear, "Wetin dem dey wait for sef? I beg make dem bring the food make I comot jo!"  :-[

17.. On the dance floor, you have women dancing alone or with women and men dancing alone or with men.

18.. Most of the guys are hanging around outside, attending to "business" with cellular phones.

19.. The hall empties immediately after food has been served.

20.. The latest is all the guys talk about is IT and lies
about how much they are making contracting.

21. The food is served on a 'man know man' basis...leaving the man in the seat next to you wondering why he only got rice and meat..while your plate has all the assorted 'extras'!

22. They tell you "the moi-moi don finish" despite the fact that a man next to you has 4 on his plate.

23: drinks are still called "mineral".

24: During a toast, guys finish drinking the champagne in their
glasses before the actual toast

25: The MC in every wedding reception starts with "Ladies and Gerrulmen..." and proceeds to blow "grammar".

Ah! Una don forget the most important part

- The calling to the HIGH TABLE

kai, God bless you one time...you remember well well o!
The calling to the high table na real ceremony by itself. Na for
dia you go hear titles upon titles wey you neva hear for ya life.
"It is our pleasure to invite The Honourable Chief Doctor
Professor, Emeritus, Air Vice Marshall, Inspector General, Permanent Secretary Lord Magistrate..." and "plus his lovely gorgeous and pretty wife,
Chief Doctor Mrs..."
Chei, na wa for Naija.

26. if it is a young hip hop like naija party in brooklyn, u see
haitans acting as if they nigerians finidi, lawal, and every member of the 96 olympic squad...must never play for the super eagles again!!!!!!!!!. For they should be the scapegoat of the national embarrasment our nation experienced on April 21th, 2001

27 foooooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddddddddd is another one.  Oyinbo no dey serve food for dia own party.Na so so desert dem get.When you land naija party,you go chop quench.

28 hmmmm, how could we have forgotten that. This opens the door to more entries:

- opening speech (chairman) and the opening prayer (most elderly, Mallam or a pastor)
29 Stout and fruit juice like 5-alive plus its broda and sisters 1n that category can ONLY reach you when "de officials or key family member(s)' of the host look at your face and you qualify.

30 And of course, few stout bottles + senior fruit juices will
be displayed on the High Table while the remaining one or two
cartons will be inside the store with an official firmly clutching his right or left foot on the carton(s) to avoid pilfering.

31 Even sef these 'important' drinks will be kept inside the
boot of a car parked outside from where selective and apartheidic sharing will originate.

32 Where the only cars packed outside na CLK Kompressor and the guys are having the party in or around their cars instead of indoors

Of course we are proud Nigerians.......

More of our characters include:

1. You unwrap all your gifts carefully, so that you can reuse the wrapper.

2. You call a person you've never met before uncle or aunt.

3.More than 90% of the music CD's and cassettes in
your home are illegal copies

4. Your garage is always full of stuff because you ?never throw anything away, just in case you need it someday. (a gum boot without a partner and the baby walker - baby's now 12 and you are 48 )

5. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottle from your stays at hotels. (Gocool, Sweet heart, African pride....)

6. You have almost always carry overweight baggage when travelling by plane.

7. If a store has a limit on the quantity of a product, then each member of the family will join separate queues to purchase the maximam quantity possible. (sugar,soap,rice,cooking fat etc etc during old good days)

8. All children have annoying nicknames.

9. Nobody in your family informs you that they are coming over for a visit. ( uncle, wife, sis-in-law, two nephews and a neighbour) have camped at home.

10. You stuff your pockets with, mints and toothpicks at restaurants. (Murray mints, wrappers, and salt shakers!)

11. You only make telephone calls at a cheaper rate at night (especially beepers).

12. You never have less than 20 people to meet you at the airport or see you off even if it is a local flight.

13. You keep changing your Internet Service Provider because the first month is free. (I know some people O!.....)

14. Office supplies mysteriously find their way to your home.(Yes,staple machine, office pins, punch machine,cellotapes, post-its,etc.)

15. When you are young, your parents buy you clothes and shoes at least two sizes too big so that they would last longer.

just to answer the question "are you a proud Nigerian?"
my answer is yes.
reason(s):    "there is no place like home"
                   "home sweet home"


if not because of one thing Nigeria would have been to space(kasan sama itace karshe!). figure it out.

With people like you and me, who dont like what is the present Nigeria, can make a difference when the opportunity comes around.
But the opportunity is within reach (put on that your glasses if it is not visible!).

Ali, Glad u brought this up.
They say Nigerians are the happiest people in the world, for they endure all the torture evident in nija today. I say Nigerians are the strongest people in the world being able to smile at all the turture, and even opening shoulders to screens others out at being the giants of Africa.
    What is left ahead of us is a big task that will be overcomed. Its about time we use our strenght positively for urs and mine own good. I swear if we dont we will be left behind coz others shall.
    Just because u cant do it alone doesnt mean you should wait and be draged along, push the little u can, I beg u in ur interests...Nigerians
