acidtalk: ^^^
With all modesty and humility, I have traveled to at least 16 countries both within Africa and Over seas and I will tell you I have personally witnessed more than 95% of the above listed points.

Nigerians are VERY Lousy (even while trying to talk gently). I have seen a situation where the hotel security called their team to come settle a scuffle on the walkway only to find out our fellow Nigerians were only cracking jokes and laughing. The white men thought 'we' were fighting.

Mynd_44: *yawn*

pDude:

True. Nigerians in a group could be quite noisy and lousy. I remember a friend and I were talking about tribalism in the presence of a white lady friend. After a while, she started trying to settle our 'fight' but we laughed and told her that we were discussing. Lol.

E don teh wey I don know say you dey suffer from sleeping sickness after that tse-tse fly bite you for village last christmas.

Brand_new: I can relate those points listed by OP to Lagosians. Not all Nigerians are generally like that but you are bound to pick up most of those traits if you`ve spent some time in Lasigidi.

Excelboi: Mr, but this thread is not romantic! This is just one example to identify a typical nigerian abroad!

Efemena_xy: ^^ And how many of those things you listed, are you guilty of?

acidtalk: Where's my change : this is to show they are waiting to collect their balance after a purchase.

acidtalk: Whether Home or Abroad wherever you come across a Nigeria you might be skeptical of their origin (usually place of birth). But as soon as you hear a Nigerian who grew up and have a better part of their life spent in Nigeria, you can easily tell from their use of words and pronunciation.

Below are some of the words and pronunciations used by Nigerians both within Nigeria and outside.

* I want to Drop : this is when they are making their intention know they want to alight from a bus, taxi or car.

* Where's my change : this is to show they are waiting to collect their balance after a purchase.

* God dey : they are expressing their dissapointment in an event or feel cheating.

* E go better : When they believe there's hope in a current situation they are presently not happy about.

Others are :
* Jumpig of queues

* Speaking in loud voice

* Rushing to take a train, cab or bus and also in a hurry to alight
.
* Talking for hours and shouting while making use of a public phone boot.

* Talking so loud on the Hotel hallway.

* The highest spender in clubs, bars, malls and event centre.

* the man that keeps talking aloud inside the cinema.


More to come soon.
