lol....otondo, one person felt bad and you thought you have made a point, all my white friends from the U.S to the U.K have asked me this question a million times......and i have asked a million times. My girl is white, due to the time difference sometimes, whenever she calls, the first thing she says is "how was your night" baby, she is American though. Nigerians and oversabi ehnnnnnnn.

Nigerians will travel for one week or two, then start comparing the white man poop to their fathers' poop, damn.

Im very angry with dat idiot Edward onoride very foolish.


Bn disgracing Africa up and down

Ok o, how was ur day? Is it for people that sick too or is not our business ... English people

That’s ur business... how are you?

VRDroid:
I do not even answer "How are you?". I think it is an insult to ask someone how they are when you have no reason to.

I see such greetings as insults

SeedofDavid:

This is a bigoted assertion. The people you claim to get this from still enquire of themselves, 'How was your night?'.

Don't just accept anything you see on the internet blindly. It was a person (probably more flawed than you are) that put it there.

If both parties are sex-sex people, they can ask each other how was your night, knowing 100% that it is sex they are discussing.

Ask me how was my night, I will slap you.

It is not your business how my night was.
I'm in your front looking at you. Stop asking me what I did in my house. It is not your business.

The post is just oozing with inferiority complex . He can tell a story without azz licking the white folk. None is wrong all that matters is following the rules in the land you find yourself. Same English language that has borrowed several words and phrases from other languages

/
You worry too much about nonsense.

Which one is correct English among "How are you?", "Howdy" and "What's up?"

In all, the person you are communicating with understands you. Life is not grammar.

Americans understand "How was your night?".

By the way, why do you care? There are many white people out there that cannot spell their names.

\

I don't like people asking me "how was your night?" Even if my night was bad what would you do about it, can you change the night that has already passed? So why asking me how it was.

majamajic:
just like women in Nigeria now address someone as Oga

When guys address young ladies as mummy or mama, do u think we enjoy hearing such?


So deal with it

adetem:

No. How was your day is just fine too.

True. Instead ask a woman how was your kukunase and ask a man how was your anus.

how was ur night.

Let me harvest ur front teeth now

Rapmoney:
People of your type hardly learn. Why not do thorough research on it and find out the true nature of things for yourself instead of countering what you don't know about? Were you the one who invented English? Can you be more familiar with the language than the native Briton? That you don't know something is true doesn't mean it is false.

This is not the first time I'm having this discussion. It gets worst that most sources use the same 'lie' to propagate this falsehood. I don't really have strength for this argument. You can stop asking people "How was your day/night/weekend etc".

Nat404:
Lies! They can't. They often say, did you sleep well last night?

Because it's you that is helping me talk to them abi,I don't know why too know they always worry people.

adetem:

My day was good.

One is expected to go about doing good things during the day. Doing social activities. That is a normal thing.
So one will answer you in a positive way.
My day was good.
I did good social activities.

Night is when one wishes to be alone, to sleep, to be with his wife...., To pray, to rest.
For those who are enduring suffering/hardship/sickness that they have been keeping secret from public view. They suffer/endure everything in the night.

It is non of your business what a person does in their house in the night.
If he wants to tell you, he can tell you.
But if not, it is none of your business.
Stop asking the question.

If how was ur night is about sex. So what about how was ur day?

I don't care what anyone else says... How was your night remains one of the best things in the world..

Just like people here often say, "if you know, you know". The English is absolutely wrong. It should be "if you don't know, now you know.

millionboi2:
if I'm u and dat idiot Edward fada I will disown u ppl4bn too inferior to d white.
Gush

Look at how pathetic you are. You are displaying the classical blame and finger pointing to white man as the cause of all your problems but are too empty and cocky to look within to see you are the cause. I'm far from feeling inferior to any other race. Did you not see I posted above I've called out my colleagues on that inappropriate greeting style as far back as 10 years.
The greeting is wrong there are no two ways.
But you can keep on wallowing in your tragic ignorance

Dude, learn English
How was your day? Fine (correct)
How was your night? (Wrong)

I think you have a fever go to bed

Intellectual slavery is the WORST legacy of colonialism.

jom28gy:
it had become part of Nigeria culture

Simple. Why is the OP having heart attack because one British guy rebuked him.

I will say it again and again... what nonsense, must we follow all they do?

I just want to add that you and that White man are both confuse.
Just look at the way you bring things up from no where and drop it down like that.
You're both confused!

How was your night is simply 'How was your night.
There's nothing even wrong if we use some Hospital's slangs sometimes.

SeedofDavid:

No true OP is right. How was ur not ght is not a wrong English but misused expression.

We Nigerians have our own interpretations to English language. That a white guy responded negatively doesn't mean we should drop it.

You missed an opportunity to teach them Nigerian English instead your inferiority complex turned you to an emergency English lecturer - a failed one at that.
Please, how was your night? Deal with it.

darling4real1:
I TRULY DON'T ANSWER THIS!!

*Do you know that asking a person “How was your night?” is wrong?*
Well, if you didn’t know it until today, get to know with the help of Edward E Onoriode who shared the update on his Facebook wall.
I felt it very necessary to spread the word and help people know about it too.

Here it is.... as posted by Edward E Onoriode.

I attended a IED (Improvise Explosive Device) fusion cell meeting with some US and British EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) experts yesterday to discuss all the IED incidences that had happened within the week across Somalia.

At the meeting hall, I saluted one of the British officers ‘Good morning sir’ and he responded back ‘good morning to you too’

My oversabi did not allow me to keep quiet so I went further with the Nigeria popular phrase ‘how was your night sir?’

Dude was shock. He looked at me in a weird way as if I’d said something out of the ordinary. Something that’s sacrilegious which is an abomination to his ears. After some sec, he said ‘how my night went is none of your business’!

I was awed in shock. Normally, I was expecting a simple ‘fine’ ‘Good’ ‘Splendid’ ‘ My night was great’ etc. But he didn’t say any of these but he told me ‘how my night went is none of your business’!
I felt embarrassed.

For minutes, I couldn’t mutter a word back to him. I just buried my head in shame.

All through the meeting, I was lost in thought and I couldn’t concentrate on the meeting minutes. I kept asking myself within, ‘was my question wrong?’ ‘have I said something that offended this man?’ ‘could it be that he had a bad night rest and he decided to transfer the aggression at me?’

After the meeting, I did a little Google search and I couldn’t believe the answers I got.

Ladies and gentlemen, did you know the phrase “How was your night ” In English Language means “How was last nights sex?” “How was your night shift duty?” “How was your health during the night hours?”

Whenever you ask this question in the morning to healthy people who are not in sick bed, you’re invariably inquiring about their sexual comfort/activities during the night or how their night shift went and it’s rude to ask such mostly if you’re not closely related to the person.
No wonder the British officer find my question condescending because he felt I was intruding in his private business since I’m not too familiar with him. But I asked that question with a sincere and innocent mind without any harm.
Basically, how was your night is normally asked to people who are receiving treatments in the hospital or people who are on night shift.

Nigeria has really messed me up. Now, I’d be more careful whenever I want to speak with these white folks because I never can tell when I’d say something that’s offensive and invasive again.
By the way, I need to un-learn so many English I’ve been proudly speaking, they’re wrong.
My happiness is that I know the appropriate question whenever I want to enquire how a person’s night went now and it should be;

“Did you have a good night sleep?” or
“Did you sleep well?

The answer to ‘ How was your night?’ Is actually ‘none of your business!’

I have checked our local languages. Even as literal translation goes, no Nigerian language asks ‘How was your night?’ I am checking because of this phrase, for those who know, was not in use in Nigeria as recent as 10 years ago.

As my Doctor friend said to me, it may have come from hospitals.
It’s common knowledge according to the doctor that sick people often have rough nights and most deaths occur at night. So a doctor’s question to the patient during morning ward rounds is usually ‘How was your night?’ If we exported hospital vocabulary to the streets, are we now to assume, we are all at death’s door?

The proper address for mornings is simply ‘good morning’ and if you want to spice it up by being overly friendly, you may add ‘hope you slept well?’ A person’s night is not our business.

If we are Igbo it’s either, ibolachi– have you woken up. Ututuoma- good morning.

If Yoruba, 'ę karo' – good morning. You can go further as Yorubas are won’t do by adding “se daada l'ę ji’ – hope you woke up well?

None of these our local greetings intrusively asks ‘How was your night?’ So, No! It is not African either.
Let us be well aware when we leave our lanes to go measuring that of others.

*So now we know!*
*Don't go asking me or anyone else "How was my night anymore?*

shogsman:

Because it's you that is helping me talk to them abi,I don't know why too know they always worry people.

Incredible!! You think these people care about what you say? They already knew that your English is awful.

MrSly:

No true OP is right. How was ur not ght is not a wrong English but misused expression.

OK sir

IKennaGabriel:
If how was ur night is about sex. So what about how was ur day?

"How was your day?" is about WORK, the normal social activity that everyone sees each other doing with open, happy mind.
Every morning you wake up, is to enjoy the day and do some positive work, give some service, contribute to society.

Only a thief/criminal that did not succeed in stealing during the day will be angry when you ask him ," how was your day?". In that case, what are you even doing with such a person?

millionboi2:
u see

If u can ask some how was ur day,wat stops u from asking how was ur night .

Africans are too dumb,anything coming from white is correct.

#copy cat

Please you have to admit that the expression is wrong. I'm not an expert in the English language but it's just not proper

uuzba:


Dude, learn English
How was your day? Fine (correct)
How was your night? (Wrong)

OK sir..... Continue teaching me.
