Nigerian Homes Abroad by mubaraqqq(f): 10:29am On Oct 18, 2012 |
I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say Nigerians will always be Nigerians- whether at home or abroad. You see that in little things they do like some comments they make, their view on things or even what they surround themselves with. Here's an article that gives a typical example of things Nigerians abroad surround themselves with to 'feel' home a little: Nigerians in Diaspora | 5 things you'll find in every Nigerian's home Abroad Moving from your home country to a new country is one of the hardest things anyone can do. To adjust to our new environment we try to surround ourselves with products that we used back home or remind us of home (consciously or unconsciously). Nigerians are no different, and here are 5 products you are sure to find in a Nigerian’s house abroad... 4. Wrappers Yes there are fancy night gowns, pajamas and sexy Victoria secret lingerie but for the ultimate comfort just tie a wrapper and go about your business. Nothing reminds you of home or screams that you are a Nigerian than a wrapper… [url] Read More: http://www.shikenan.com/article-details/1/124/1/5-THINGS-YOU-WILL-ALWAYS-FIND-IN-A-NIGERIAN-HOUSE-ABROAD [/url] I'm sure you'll agree that everyone misses home even a little bit (some admit it and others refuse to). Please, share some things you believe Nigerians will always have in their homes whether home or abroad. 1 Like |

We only have garri turners and trays. Aren't those normal? Or maybe I should use whisk or spatula to turn my garri? I don't think I've seen a tray given out as a gift. Some other dumb things, like lunch bags and plastic bowls, but trays? No. |

I am just listing the things you will always find in a Nigerian house. I guess that is a crime. Typical Nigerian, does not read the article but he is running his mouth. |

I don't know why people make a big deal out of nothing...Nigerians are no different than any other Africans. When I visited my in-laws in Nigeria...I didn't see anything that was different other than the style of the house. You can pretty much tell an African home just by the style other than that the spoons look like a spoon, a fork look like a fork, and so on. Even individuals that AREN'T African has African arts and things. Do we call them Africans? I can certainly say every house I went to in Nigeria was DIFFERENT! One may have this and the other may not.....so on..... |

Here's an article that gives a typical example of things Nigerians abroad surround themselves with to 'feel' home a little: Wow that article is spot on and true, every Nigerian home abroad has at least most of the things listed in their homes but I feel at the sametime there is nothing wrong with it though, and it is inevitable with some of the things listed when it comes to the foods and etc, so in the end of the day this list shouldn't be a surprise. |
