@awon boiz

Very funny. You know few years back, a Camerounian was arrested for killing one of those squirrels that freely roams about. He was charged with animal cruelty. So many Oyinbos testified against him !!!

You can't even hand a policeman a $20 bill when he pulls you over for speeding. They call that one bribery, IMAGINE !!!

Sweet T, lol

the squirrel here surprise me . they are so bold too. the deers hop all around with Freedom. The pepeye too they just slowly walk pass your car and you stop

a classmate from Tanzania always talk abt the free meat oyinbos are missing

@Omoge

The more you run away from them, the more they run towards you. I think to myself sometimes that if the oraisa boys grab hold of you bastards, you will see the bottom of a rugged cookin pot !

Too many disadvantage my brother!
The most painful thing is that "you can't get the real naija food,like correct pounded yam with Okro Soup/Egusi" 
you can't sheet for bush  like the way we use to do in naija sheet use plantain leaf/paper take clean yansh,
if you are cut "jail straight" and again you  can't pisse anyway, if you try am "them go cut your thing" 

I agree about the food!
But things like using a helmet, respecting the
speed limit, queuing up, etc, that's wut makes
everything orderly and good for everyone!
I wish naija cud be like that sumtimes. *sniff*

you can't buy ewa agoyin (local beans) for breakfast

you can't insult people freely, you need to be 'politically correct'

you need to pay heating bills for a part of the year, and need different clothes for different seasons

there are just so many disadvantages of living abroad as to living in Nigeria,one, people abroad still expct things to be the same way or terrible when they get back but the truth is that sometimes its not like that.You'll be suprised at the changes u'll see when u go back home,with people and the environment and in most cases,its a good change.
 And you can't just get to do all your razz matazz abroad that makes one feel like a local champion without them looking at u like u are mad or something.Talk about buying fresh veggies,its out of it,if u dnt get to the store,u aint getting nothin.You can't get to sit outside in the balcony and be saying hai to everyone passing and like someone said,the smiles u get are so fake, but its something.
 I miss the buka food,amala especially, like i tell my friends,there is no place like home but we wouldnt have been able to appreciate those little things without missing them.
