I was off the radar for some days but it feels like it's been one week. I took a trip to the hospital and the doctor decided that the hospital was ideal for a weekend getaway and who am I to object?

Today I'll continue with some of the funny attitudes that are common to Nigerians. Almost all of us act this way. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor. I think we learnt some of these things right from our mother's womb. Even if you've never done any of these, you must have someone in your family who does 😄😄. It is that generic.
Squeezing a loaf of bread before buying
We love eating bread in Nigeria but we also know that some of these bread factories can bake stone for you to eat as bread and some of them can bake a risen flour with nothing inside for you to buy. This is why every good Nigerian has learnt how to squeeze the loaf of bread before buying😄😄. You gotta feel what you are buying right?
A Nigerian calls you to eat
Visit a Nigerian home when they are eating and they'd always invite you to join in. Know this however, that it is done out of courtesy not because they really want you to share in their meal😄. Since they asked out of courtesy, they expect you to also decline and say thank you. If you wash your hand and join in, they won't say anything but better not look at their facial expression because if eyes can kill, you'd be in the mortuary.
We are not that bad. Only three of us can invite you to join us and would really mean it. In fact we can happily leave the food for you to eat to your satisfaction. These three are @hopestylist, I and one other Nigerian we are still trying to find his or her location.
Always late to a party
If you are having a party in Nigeria and that party is meant to start by 12pm, the wise thing to do is to print 10am on your invitation card. As if that would work😄. The Nigeria in us will still tell us that the real time is 12pm, that you just printed 10am to make us come early and that's how we will still end up late at your party. Even the party hosts arrive late at their own party so who are the guests to come early?
Am I your mate or I don't blame you
Nigerians love seniority. Oh my goodness! Even when it is absolutely unnecessary. Once you hear a Nigerian asking someone "am I your mate?" Just know that fight is about to start. It is only when you correct them or don't act according to their dictates that they remember they are older. After asking the question, "am I your mate?" The next statement that follows is "I don't blame you".😄
Tasting cooked groundnut before buying
Cooked groundnuts are hawked on trays in Nigeria. Nigerians have this habit of tasting the groundnut before buying it. Some of them claim they want to be sure it suits their taste before buying but there are still some elements that all they do is taste every groundnut from every groundnut seller that passes without buying any😄. I'm sure some of you are guilty of this. You better confess.
I am coming when they are going
If a Nigerian tells you they are coming just know they are going. Coming means going over here. You'd be with someone and the next thing, they would stand up, dress up, wear their shoes and when you ask,"Where are you going? They respond with "I am coming".

Nigerians are indeed special people. If you have more to add, you are free to write about them.
This is still The COMedy Rumble Wk 3
I belong to all except the come and eat part if I say come and eat I really mean it and I like to share my roommate know that.
I dey come 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's how we say it
😄😄😄😄. I guess you are the third Nigerian we have been looking for. I dey come is actually how we say it and sounds sweeter than I am coming.

Hahaha I stopped squeezing bread when I met a very saucy woman selling them... The eyes she used to look at me could have killed me, I'm still wondering how I survived it 😆
Seniority in Nigeria is something else abeg 😂😂😂
This was a funny one again, I'm glad you were able to come up with something even with your health 😊❤️
My dear I am still squeezing bread o. I don't care about any looks. I'll just act like I am not even seeing your face 😄😄😄. I can't buy rubbish with my money.
My dear, I'm just trying to keep pushing. Just remember me after you've won all the awards. 😄😄
Hahaha win all the rewards? Not possible, I'm sure everyone of us will win something 😊
We'd see about that.
Hehehe you are back again 😂🤣🤣. I'm one of the lovers of bread and I'm so good at selecting before buying it 😁, I so like it when the bread is brown 😉.
I've indeed tasted ground nut that I was not interested in buying but that was because a friend bought, I'm not really comfortable doing that without buying.
You know so much of these things sha oo, nice write up, I really hope I will call you to join me when eating and even leave the food for you 😜.
That bread selection is in our DNA. I guess that's why the bread bakers bake it in varieties to satisfy everyone.
I have tasted groundnut without buying cos i allowed my friend influence me😄😄. We were just eating free groundnut. I wonder why it is only groundnut we taste before buying. Why don't we do it with other food items.
So you aren't one of three Nigerians remaining?
Yes, it is.
Me I wonder too.
No 😏.
I have done it also today morning and I was buying bread 😂😂.
I think it's one kind of formality and saying no is also a formal answer. But what if somebody say yes 😂?
I see you have some Nigeria in you 😜😜
As for saying yes, when you say yes, of cos you'll be offered a spot on the table but it doesn't mean they are happy sharing the meal with you 😄. Nigerians don't cook expecting visitors so they usually make what will serve only those present. An extra mouth is an inconvenience to the rest.
If I know you, don't call me to come and eat because I would surely feel the taste. I'm not among the leagues of Thank you. Na "I dey come" I dey.
😄😄😄😄😄😜 Well you are lucky that I am one of those who won't mind if you join me.
Fantastic. The day go come..😁
Heheheh!
Awesome
