Nigerians Demystified

Nigerians are a very interesting people (unarguably). Yes, I am Nigerian. This is why I chose to address common stereotypes and myths that follow us in my fourth webisode:


a. We are proud and full of ourselves and think we're better than everyone else.

b. We party a lot. Like every week. For no reason.

c. We have a distinct interesting (and maybe funny) accent. (yes we do!)

d. We are all scammers and can’t be trusted. 

e. We are all from Lagos.

f. We have an insatiable need to show off. An undying urge. 

g. We are loud and we put “o” at the end of every statement. 

h. We all speak pidgin 

i. Nigerians don’t emulate western culture wisely. 

j. (My personal favorite) Overboard weddings
