ok ok, i have one here. take notice when someone is eating rice and meat. if the person should finish all the rice first and then eat the meat last, then he/she is definitely a naija o. old habits die hard!  |

ewww, omogenaija. i wouldn't want to hang out with you! ha ha, just kidding! but i think the food is more enjoyable when you sample all the food groups simultaneously e.g a little rice here, some meat, some veggies, and just alternating it like that till you finish. hmm see as i dey give out lessons o.  i have a friend that eats his meat last too and i totally abhor it. ughhh! its just em, razzzzz! |

About eating the meat last, i still tend to do that. I don't really know why, i guess it's an habit i learned from Naija. I think one of the reason I do that is that the meat actually makes the food interest me. I do that especially with fufu and soup, not necessary with rice. |

the shape of there ogo. There strong facial features. |

Who said that naija and akata look alike, my friend you've obviously never been to naija or lived there long enough. Naija people our faces "strong well well" whereas akata face dey "fresh" Even an oyinbo who lived in lagos for a while saw me walking randomly and asked me where i was from and i told him naija and he knew simply because he worked in Lagos for a while. So all you so called naija americans who only stayed in naija a couple of months need to be quiet. |

how can you tell a nigerian, my opinion is you cant, unless of the bvious accent , im nigerian many atime been mistaken for a west indian but quickly corrected, then you have the , 'oh but you dont look nigerian'  my answer always , "so tell me what does a nigerian look like, they are normally stuck for words"!!! motto dont judge a book by its cover,  |

hahahahaha, the funny thing is that i always manage to know that a person is Nigerian, and i can't point out what gives them away, maybe we have a special Naija person sensor? lol Apart from the accent, there is a way Naija people act, one kain confidence in the way they walk and sit and whatever, and then the facial expressions, There are some kind of eyebrow raises and mouth movements that are quintessentially Nigerian! |
| Re: That's A Nigerian? How Can You Tell? by Mpele(m): 8:11am On Oct 20, 2008 |
How to spot a Nigerian! 1. Very loud and attention seeking 2. Argumantive 3. Dark, tall and well build and also the ladies are dark, well build with too much make up. 4. Guys with fake diesel jeans. 5. Fake American accent |

the accent, for example, saying emereka instead of america, occasional fake fune, saying things like "chei", "chineke", "aa aaaah", "omoh", "na wa ooo", "shuuu" from time to time, tribal marks, hissing (sucking air into the mouth in between the teeth) from time to time, declining to accept things given with the left hand, wearing a particular style of leather slippers which has a strap that holds on to the big toe |
