13 Things Every Nigerian Has Done But Will Never Admit by amzee(m): 6:28pm On Jun 30, 2016
Admit it, we’ve all done this before ….

1. Rushing For Food At Events

During events, especially weddings and it’s time for “Item 13”, almost everybody wants
to get to the table as quick as possible and you see Nigerians skipping queues to get there first. The same Nigerians who do this
will condemn others for doing so.

2. Skipping Queues

Every Nigerians seems to be in a hurry, usually termed “busy for nothing”. Some Nigerians are not disciplined at all when it comes to joining queues, everybody wants
to skip or play smart with queues, be it queueing to vote, boarding a commercial vehicle, in the bank etc. we always want to jump queues but nobody wants to admit to the fact that, they’ve ever done this.

3. Window Shopping

Almost every Nigerian have done window shopping before but none will admit to this.
“We dey form big abi?”

4. Packing Food At Events To Send Home

Almost every Nigerian has done this before, especially the women. Not everybody wants to eat their food at an event, so you have
many requesting for it packaged for them to take home.

5. Farting In Public

Need we say more? You reading this, you know you’ve done it once or twice but did you own up? ??

6. Sleeping In A Bus or Keke

The busy life in Nigeria makes us wake up at odd hours. So when the day is done, there is a high possibility you will end up sleeping in a bus or keke but ask the average Nigerian on the street and they will vehemently deny it.

7. Grammatical Error In English

Nigerians love to laugh at people for making grammatical errors but we forget English is not our mother’s tongue. We’ve all
been there before but everybody is good at English and tend to correct you when you make the least error.

8. Haggling With No Intention Of Buying

A Nigerian can walk to the market with nothing in his pocket and haggle on goods knowing perfectly well they will not buy it.
This is something most of us have done before.

9. Eavesdropping On Conversation

Be it in the Bus,Keke,Taxi or any commercial vehicle, we just can’t mind our own business, you have people eavesdropping on people’s
conversation to have something to tell when they get home.

10. Buying Something Because It Was Advertised On TV

Nigerians love to buy products all because it was advertised on TV just to prove they have it too. But ask any Nigerian who does
that and they will deny it by telling you they’ve been buying it long before it even came on the market.

11. Lateness To Events

The Nigerianman time (NMT) is a well known thing among Nigerians, if we are supposed
to be present at 3pm, we will arrive at 7pm.
This is something every Nigerian does but the same person will blame others for coming to the event late.

12. Dumping Rubbish Into Drains When It Is Raining

Whenever it rains and there is a flood, we all blame the people who dump rubbish into drainages but we are all guilty. We’ve done it before.

13. Joining Queues To Be Served Twice

Nigerians are always acting like Oliver Twist and will always skip queues to get served twice. At events when the serving is per
head, Ghanaians will skip through queuesafter receiving theirs and pretend they never took some just to get two instead of one for
everyone. Something everyone has ever done but will never admit it.

Admit it, you’ve done one of these things before.
