9ja@56 - "You know you are Nigerian If..."

You know you’re NIGERIAN if…

* The only reason you dance at Nigerian parties is to get “sprayed” money by the adults. We are the ORIGINAL “make it rain” folks.

* Your parents add “O” to the end of every sentence. “SHUTUP O!” “YES O!” “ABEG O!”

* You’ve been called an “IJOT” more times than you can count by your parents.

* You’ve gotten in trouble for giving an elder something with your left hand. Apparently, that’s disrespect.

* You gotta call all the older Nigerians you know uncle or auntie even if they are not related.

* Your parents don’t have an inside voice when they’re talking on the phone. They just straight YELL.

* You know how to operate a phone card because your parents buy them on a weekly basis.

* You’ve had a seamstress all your life and people think you’re fancy because of it.

* When Shina Peters’ Afro Juju comes on at a party, you lose your mind and drop it low!

* You know what chin chin, puff puff, or moin moin are.

* You can pick which you like better, Eba or Amala. EBA ALL THE WAY! Amala tastes like despair!

* You been scared watching the movies your parents bring from back home. Who needs horror movies when you’ve got Naija ones that are even scarier?

* There is ALWAYS white rice in your house and it’s by the sack.

* Sometimes when you eat your Mom’s food, your nose starts running from the spiciness. But you can’t help but keep eating it because it’s just that good.

* A party starts at 6 and you show up at 10, and most people are still not there yet. O_O We are ALWAYS tardy for the party.

* You’ve been threatened by your parents into behavior when they say they’ll send you “back home.”

* You call Ramen noodles “indomie.”

* You point at something with your lips. And go MSCHEW.

* You’re mad that your clothes now smell of stock fish and stew.

* You gotta pronounce your last name 20 times for people and they still don’t get it rite!



HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY...
