Perks of being a Nigerian


Culture, folk tales and lies passed on through generations are nurtured and preserved. That’s why an old man sits on his wooden chair; expecting you to lie down on dirt because you’d need to exchange pleasantries and you oblige regardless of the fact that you wish him dead.

Any form of lax in Nigeria will be totally misused; being straight as well as breeding by humans through conventional means is applauded and seriously abused that’s why she can give birth to 13 infants and still pregnant with one more. On the other hand, being gay is so unpopular that victims could suffer mockery and ostracism but a lax in homosexual orientation could result in gay’s having their own country or kingdom.

Nigeria could be the scam capital of the universe, a factory that produces black people, the founders of the Nigerian age (he is 16 yrs but 50yrs in real life), if a bullet can’t kill Ninjas then any Nigerian can avert the raging bullet of an RPG, a Nigerian might have invented the internet, A typical Nigerian is no sports man or musician; give it a price and they’d play soccer better than best and sing each line from usher’s mix tape. Bullets dodge them; they put pants on two legs at the same time….

A real Nigerian is not that person who ripped or swindled you; a real Nigerian is an uncommon individual with a unique style, likes his music because the rhythm gives him calm, they don’t feel obligated to make you accept their beliefs or like them; you just accept them and like them, they won’t take from you; they’d give you more than you’d ever need, they’d definitely succeed at anything because it seems they are good at everything, they are slow to anger but have an efficient retaliation tactic, they are no terrorist because they know their limits …. You’d die if you strap a bomb round your waist (yes! they are aware of that).  It is obvious that some impostors are out there with seeming origins and dwelling with the codes of an unreal Nigerian but believe me…. Our modes suit us!
