The common Nigerian attitude
Re: What Will You Miss If You Leave Nigeria? by Kentrasso(f): 12:11pm On Sep 27, 2018
Funny enough being outside Nigeria is not as homely as when you’re among your own people. The cultural differences, family intrusions, pokenosey attitude of Nigerians generally make me feel more at home than outside. Besides, in the abroad, you can’t be a local champion, almost everyone is good at what they do and even better sef. But here people have worse problems so you can feel good about your inabilities.

Not really my friend. Your point (shortcut to success per say) applies in every clime. For e.g the son of Donald Trump as a billionaire is naturally a big game (permit me to borrow your word), just as the friend of Donald Trump as a politician today would be a big game. Basically, the people you have around you or you have as friends determine to an extent how you think, act, and take decision

How can you miss garri. Na US we dey. Garri full here. Just walk into any African store near you. As I dey talk to you, garri dey my kitchen. Powdered pounded yam dey my kitchen. I eat pounded yam anytime I feel like with no pounding necessary. I bet you you will get tired of American food if that’s what you eat for a whole week. African food will start to dey hungry you again. If I don’t eat African food in a whole week, I don’t feel okay. Everything you eat in Nigeria is here and even more affordable than it is in Nigeria. Just walk into any African store near you. But the truth is I don’t miss anything.


Wow, good to know, thanks.

He is actually saying the truth.

Life is much more easier in abroad.

Constant light, good roads, good homes, peaceful lifestyle, extremely cheap foods n clothes.

Pple mind their business a lot too.

In Nigeria pple with physical challenges can't walk freely cos we tend not to mind our business, pple make jest of them, but here you see the disables everywhere without anyone making jest of them or being cruel to them.

To say the truth, living abroad is better. Except person wey wan suffer all through their lives

All correct, but sadly we are deeply addicted to drama, emotional stress, noise, church business, gossip people business and wahala.

This is oxygen to us.

No country that is functional and law-abiding can ever give us what we need deep down.

Be it ever so crazy, there is no place like home, I say.

As a Nigerian who stays abroad. I miss the following ;

Our weather.. Chai the cold here is not smiling, the way the wind attacks one ehn, e go be like say ur village pple send dem

I miss being able to buy foodstuffs around. Eg Mama put.

I miss being able to stop over at a friend's place, playing loud music and all

I miss the drama that comes with living in lagos. The conductors, okrika guys, molue fights etc.

But I'm thankful for being here though. No stress.

@emboldened really? Why are you unable to stop by at a friend's place?

Are you saying that people make jest of those with disabilities in Nigeria? Maybe it depends on the nature of the disability; for example, reaction to a stammerer is different from reaction to a crippled. However, in general, people in Nigeria are more sympathetic towards the disabled than people in the West. In the West, everyone, irrespective of disability is expected to be independent, but in Nigeria, the reverse is the case. Therefore, people show more sympathy and empathy towards the disabled in Nigeria than in the West. When you say they cannot mind their business when they come across the disabled in Nigeria, it is just their sympathetic nature.

Lol.. because everything here is done orderly. You have to put a call across to someone that you are coming.

Unlike in Nigeria where you can just stop over at a friend's place just because you passed their street or something.

Nah. I disagree. Pple make jest of pple with physical challenge or disabilities in Nigeria. It has now become the order of the day, i guess that's why you don't notice it.

Just so you know, jesting might not necessarily being verbal communication. Non verbal communication is the most common. Eg you see someone with a skin disease, or a weird shape of head.. You pass by and everyone is either staring at you or laughing. Its embarrassing to them.

You switch on your tv and some comedians are there joking about your predicaments.

But here, such is not the case. Though it might exist but it isn't common

interesting perspective.


The only thing I miss about Nigeria is my family and good friends I made over the decades

As for every other thing, I don't miss at all.

In Cana now, and honestly what do I miss... Family, friends, only if I could just with a blink move all my peeps here, Mallam kiosks that just pop up in all these places and ease of access to get those small items.
Go check out my wordpress blog on my cana experience - thriveonyourjourney

And you can easily find alternatives to all these things you miss, except your peeps!

There's a saying that you don't know the value of what you have until you lose it. I just miss Lagos, the chaos, drama, nightlife, crazy people and liveliness.
