There's a substantial amount of Nigerians inhabiting Canada's lands. And we love Canada but sometimes you get on our damn nerves--a little bit.
When No One Can Pronounce Our Names
Even when we repeat it a hundred times you still fail. A little more effort would be nice.
When people can't recognize us when we change our hairstyles.
When people think we look like another black person that bears no resemblance to us.
When people ask how we lived naked in huts in Africa.
When people think we are loud and dramatic.
When people talk hockey. We nod and smile and pretend we know what they're talking about. WE DON'T.
When people keep telling us to say something in "African". Or ask how come we speak English so well.
We wish we could say something in African. But there's one small teeny problem...there's no language called African. And yes for the umpteenth time we grew up speaking English dude.
When people grimace at our traditional food.
When we're stuck in club pumping our fists and jumping! That's cool on some occasions but we prefer to drop it like it's hot!
That's how we really turn up. The dance may look moronic but we don't care who's watching. It's about how you feel when you dance.
I dare you to join us! It's more fun than you can imagine.
When everyone stares at us when we greet their parents and call them madam or sir.
When people don't understand a Nigerian movie. Most times neither do we.
Pure melting gold entertainment.
When we try hard to keep (most of) our superstitions to ourselves.
When this awkward moment happens
I'm the only Nigerian in my class. I just want to disappear😩😩😩😩😩😩
We aren't all scammers. We don't even know who these scammers.
