My younger daughter attended a daycare run by a Nigerian lady. She was AWESOME!!! She had a great sense of humor and was a very no nonsense person. I always liked her. She was the only Nigerian I had ever met and left me with a great impression of the folks from that nation.
Literally every Nigerian I’ve ever met, is exactly like the lady you described 😊 They truly are lovely! And you’re right about the sense of humour, they’re all really funny bless them! 😂❤
@@ts4686 Certainly not a backhanded compliment. I have only met one family from the Czech Republic and they were lovely, so I would say the same about that nationality. I have actually met many Russians, and they have ALL been wonderful, so I would say the same about them. Still to this day, that lady who ran my daughter's day care is the only person from Nigeria I have ever met (as far as I know). And I still have a favorable impression of them because of her. How is that backhanded? If it is ... I don't get it. And I won't apologize for it, because my comment certainly wasn't meant that way. Sometimes you have to read the meaning in a statement if the actual wording wasn't to your liking.
Lol I'm in South Africa and have a loud arrogant New Yorker neighbor on my left, and a loud arrogant Nigerian on my right. They're exaclty as you described (except they're not really "cool af"...but they're arrogant enough to believe they are)
Other Africans tend to see it as arrogance but one thing is that we believe in the power of the tongue. We speak greatness to our selves before we’re even great. The Yorubas especially will say the opposite of what’s really happening when it’s negative and from context you will understand. Like if you were really sick, you might say my enemies were really tired last week that’s why I didn’t visit you etc. 😂 Edit: wawu 2k likes? Ẹṣe ẹyin t'emi 🤗
Very happy. Happiness is a choice. If you wallow in your problems when you have any, you'll die of depression and life will go on without you and when everything is going well, stay happy too.
Maximum respect too. My Kenyan colleagues show me love effortlessly here for just being who I am. The love from Kenya to Nigerians are unparalleled honestly
I worked at an international space camp for kids specifically with the groups that would fly in from other countries. We had kids from EVERYWHERE like whole big groups and it was really interesting and fun to see the cultural differences in diff.groups within each one. The Nigerian kids were always the FUNNIEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE. For some reason they just had this different type of dry humor like British but way better. They would joke with each other and with us at super unexpected times, like their comedic timing was next level. Was so funny. Super cool people
Yeah Nigerian humour is very sarcastic and teasing. Thank you for pointing that out because a lot of people tend to underestimate how witty and playful we can be, pertaining to our humour.
Trevor is not wrong. My husband is Nigerian, and boy he is ultra direct. So direct that sometimes I am embarrassed 😳 😂. And I' from NYC and people call us direct but boy Nigerians take it.
That's 💯 true, we as South Africans will always say I am trying no matter how great our achievements are but Nigerians will always take ownership of their achievements, their confidence is just on another level
That's why I prefer South Africans. I like manners and decorum. LOL! I enjoy Nigerian entertainment as a Black American. However, as a woman, I don't click with the men at all. The women, never had encounters. Other Black women from the continent-love. Met a South African-love. I do well with other Africans. Those Nigerians can be woefully ignorant sometimes, rude, always turning something into a competition, and don't take rejection till you really put a foot on their neck.
Our neighbors are Nigerian. The man breaks me up all the time......he's so blunt that I burst out laughing while talking because of his comments......🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's perfect! A few years ago it got to the point that when I met a Nigerian I would just look them in the eye and say, "You know, I've figured out that Nigerians are taking over the world" and they don't bother to deny it. 😄
As a South African, I think at the core of the "beef" between SAns and Naijas is really the difference in personalities. We are on different ends of the spectrum so we easily misunderstand and misinterpret each other. SAns are big on humility: be humble and modest, don't brag, don't walk into a room like you own it. This shows in our fashion and in our way of life- we like simple and understated elegance. While Nigerians are all about being loud and ostentatious. Big assertive personalites that cement themselves in spaces. Glitz and glitter, overstated glam. If we were birds, SAns would be the swans and Nigerians would be the flashy peacocks- both beautiful but very very different.
This comment is underrated. This is so true, and that is why Nigerians are always at loggerheads with SAns, cos the SAns feel Nigerians are too proud and they, the SAns, are bent on proving to the world that Nigerians are nothing, that Nigerians do not have any reason to brag. 😂😂
I don't think so, one or two Nigerians do honest work. These were the first known world-wide digital scammers before online transactions were a thing. They are into d*ugs and p*ostitution. Parents that give their kids lots of money to carry to school get targeted by them. I am talking as young as primary school. They give them laced sweets until it's in their system then sell to them which is the same strategy they use to drug our sisters. All these people didn't get into d*rugs on their own will but were forced using this strategy to increase their customer base. When girls wants to satisfy their craving they then force them into p*ostitution in exchange. The problem with us SAns is that we are so welcoming to our detriment, we never learnt from the mistake of our forefathers when they welcomed the Caucasian who kicked us out of our land and now we are repeating the same. Some we call me xenophobic for this truth but I don't care coz deep down honest Nigerians know this truth.
I love this. Nigerians have positive approach to life and they don't sit around waiting for government to give them handouts because the government is almost nonexistent anyway.
All Africans are direct. They do not sugar coat anything. It just they are more meek and humble. E.g if they got a promotion they would mostly keep it to them selves. Nigerians will post it or share when ever they can.
Lol same in South Africa, in my language we say “siyazama” which means “we’re trying”. Even when I’m flourishing I feel so awkward about saying it because I don’t want to feel like I’m bragging and it’s really a societal thing.
African Americans - 40 million. Nigerians - 200 million. As time goes on....the cultural influence of Nigerians on the entire African diaspora will be felt on every continent. They have a big mimetic spirit and they will push and push until they succeed. The only problem is that that mimetic rivalry is sometimes between Nigerians themselves. If they were truly united, they would be unstoppable.
That rivalry only happens among us because we are a nation of several other nations. For example Hausa Fulanis are about 47M,Yorubas are 42M and lbos are 37M....funny enough,all the big 3 have families spread across West Africa. Those nos are bigger than several countries within Africa itself. However when Nigerians are outside or against an opposing external threat,you won't notice the rivalry,everyone comes together to right off the threat.
It’s one of those VERY FEW TIMES someone tells you their nationality and you think ‘Yes, I knew that long before you told me’ If you ever have the true pleasure of working with a Nigerian, you’ll know how awesome they are to be around.
My teacher was Nigerian that I had in my college Lifespan Development class. She was so awesome and was so open about everything very honest that's for sure!
My DNA came back majority Nigerian. I am very confident. My husband will say, "I'm trying to be like you." When we are alone I will correct him. "You are a king, you are not trying to be like no one. Own what you got!"
I did the Nigerian almost 5 years that dude was so honest I just used to be looking at him like do you realize what you just said to me he was like yeah I heard everything that came out of my mouth
I knew a Nigerian NBA student, she was absolutely truthful every single moment of every day. It really perplexed her as to why Americans told somebody White lies.
Black Americans definitely aren't out here telling white lies, so it's definitely not an American thing. I think we're probably more candid than them, which is why some people can't take us.
My boyfriend is Nigerian and it took me a while to understand his communication style. (Still have a hard time lol) but they do have this direct way of speaking paired with their tone which can make an American easily feel offended but it’s all love! Lol atleast from my boo!
That’s just who we are … one of my greatest culture shock in America was people smiling with a random person and been passively aggressive… oh I hate it so much the Nigerian in me call it fake and lies it too me a minute to understand it but I still don’t like it . 😂

Am a Nigerian, we come out straight... We call it as we see it... Some of us Nigerians say the fact with humility & other's say the fact with some depth of arrogance.... But overall, we go straight to the point...
My dad is Ghanaian and will say " I pray the Lord is treating you well" a "if it is in God's will, it will be, but do not brag about tomorrow for you do not know what it will bring type lol 😂 I have the modest, overly humble, disposition as well.

That's perfect! A few years ago it got to the point that when I met a Nigerian I would just look them in the eye and say, "You know, I've figured out that Nigerians are taking over the world" and they don't bother to deny it. 😄
Smiles
its our expectation
Lol spit that game girl
Madam...... we've taken over already💯💯
That's truth because we have learned how to adapt and accept reality. But 2023 election may bring us back hopefully.
Nigerians and Jamaica’s on the same vibe and level 🙌🏾👏🏾😂💕
Because Jamaicans re from Nigeria mostly from the (Igbo tribe)
As a South African, I think at the core of the "beef" between SAns and Naijas is really the difference in personalities. We are on different ends of the spectrum so we easily misunderstand and misinterpret each other. SAns are big on humility: be humble and modest, don't brag, don't walk into a room like you own it. This shows in our fashion and in our way of life- we like simple and understated elegance. While Nigerians are all about being loud and ostentatious. Big assertive personalites that cement themselves in spaces. Glitz and glitter, overstated glam. If we were birds, SAns would be the swans and Nigerians would be the flashy peacocks- both beautiful but very very different.
This comment is underrated. This is so true, and that is why Nigerians are always at loggerheads with SAns, cos the SAns feel Nigerians are too proud and they, the SAns, are bent on proving to the world that Nigerians are nothing, that Nigerians do not have any reason to brag. 😂😂
I don't think so, one or two Nigerians do honest work. These were the first known world-wide digital scammers before online transactions were a thing. They are into d*ugs and p*ostitution. Parents that give their kids lots of money to carry to school get targeted by them. I am talking as young as primary school. They give them laced sweets until it's in their system then sell to them which is the same strategy they use to drug our sisters. All these people didn't get into d*rugs on their own will but were forced using this strategy to increase their customer base. When girls wants to satisfy their craving they then force them into p*ostitution in exchange.
The problem with us SAns is that we are so welcoming to our detriment, we never learnt from the mistake of our forefathers when they welcomed the Caucasian who kicked us out of our land and now we are repeating the same. Some we call me xenophobic for this truth but I don't care coz deep down honest Nigerians know this truth.
It's funny when a non Nigeria tells Nigeria what they are😅
Be excusing xenophobia
@@zikaenendu6214a direct response there. Nigerian?
I love this. Nigerians have positive approach to life and they don't sit around waiting for government to give them handouts because the government is almost nonexistent anyway.
Some....not all
Yet get am
I swear, I love my Nigerian friends and their approach to life. Man, they taught me a lot. ❤❤❤❤❤
That is the funniest thing I have heard in my Whole life.🤣🤣
Plus, the guest has the most beautiful teeth!😊
He is Burna Boy, one of the top 3 music artists in Nigeria and Africa 🌍.
Confidence is EVERYTHING in a Person
I must have Nigerian ancestors because I cut straight to it when I have something to say.
All Africans are direct. They do not sugar coat anything. It just they are more meek and humble. E.g if they got a promotion they would mostly keep it to them selves. Nigerians will post it or share when ever they can.
Same
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Are we same way? I'm congo🇨🇩 but I don't go corners.i go straight .
That why Jamaicans🇯🇲 and Nijia -Nigerians 🇳🇬get along we are direct ppl no time for the BS
FACTS!!!!💯
So true! Nigerians were brought over to Jamaica during the latter years of slavery. Jamaicans are the same. Keep it real all the time.
As an east African, I call it arrogance though
A bit of arrogance but a whole lot of confidence.
@@marvaeugene2287 Actially History states it was us Ghanaian s that were the majority of slaves bring to Jamaica.
😂😂😂😂In Kenya we say "Ni kujaribu tu" meaning (literally) "I'm trying"
Unless you're Luo, the Nigerians of East Africa😂
Lol same in South Africa, in my language we say “siyazama” which means “we’re trying”. Even when I’m flourishing I feel so awkward about saying it because I don’t want to feel like I’m bragging and it’s really a societal thing.

They bold as a Lion. Im yet to meet a shy Nigerian 😂😂😂
African Americans - 40 million.
Nigerians - 200 million.
As time goes on....the cultural influence of Nigerians on the entire African diaspora will be felt on every continent. They have a big mimetic spirit and they will push and push until they succeed. The only problem is that that mimetic rivalry is sometimes between Nigerians themselves. If they were truly united, they would be unstoppable.
Well said
Very true!
The competition is even fun... 😂
That rivalry only happens among us because we are a nation of several other nations. For example Hausa Fulanis are about 47M,Yorubas are 42M and lbos are 37M....funny enough,all the big 3 have families spread across West Africa. Those nos are bigger than several countries within Africa itself. However when Nigerians are outside or against an opposing external threat,you won't notice the rivalry,everyone comes together to right off the threat.
I don't know if you are Nigerian but you are so spot on!
It’s one of those VERY FEW TIMES someone tells you their nationality and you think ‘Yes, I knew that long before you told me’
If you ever have the true pleasure of working with a Nigerian, you’ll know how awesome they are to be around.
You most be pleased lol
❤❤
I'm a Nigerian descendant from my mother side it explains why I'm so direct. Most people can't handle it.
My teacher was Nigerian that I had in my college Lifespan Development class. She was so awesome and was so open about everything very honest that's for sure!
Haha as a Cameroonian American who basically grew up around Nigerians this is def true ❤
My DNA came back majority Nigerian. I am very confident. My husband will say, "I'm trying to be like you." When we are alone I will correct him. "You are a king, you are not trying to be like no one. Own what you got!"
Culture is not DNA... 🙄
If you were not married,I should have stolen you as a Nigerian man
Visit home home. We love our cousins ❤
@@aaaiiinnnklv it's in her Nigerian DNA stop your nonsense

I knew a Nigerian NBA student, she was absolutely truthful every single moment of every day. It really perplexed her as to why Americans told somebody White lies.
Black Americans definitely aren't out here telling white lies, so it's definitely not an American thing. I think we're probably more candid than them, which is why some people can't take us.
❤❤❤
I love these Africans. It doesn’t matter to me where they are from, they are a special set of people. I’m from Jamaica by the way.
Proud Nigerian Queen 👸🏽 🇳🇬
My boyfriend is Nigerian and it took me a while to understand his communication style. (Still have a hard time lol) but they do have this direct way of speaking paired with their tone which can make an American easily feel offended but it’s all love! Lol atleast from my boo!
That’s just who we are … one of my greatest culture shock in America was people smiling with a random person and been passively aggressive… oh I hate it so much the Nigerian in me call it fake and lies it too me a minute to understand it but I still don’t like it . 😂
Had that experience when I was in Wyoming, I was misunderstood but I kept my ground, in the end I was cool, USA are amazing people.
Are you black American, smh? If so, you should be used to it as we're probably even more straight up than them.
@@peejayben-agbabowe4610 its irritating. I hv some oyinbo neighbors who will smile at me and even get my mail for me but their body language says the opposite. Like you can see they are smiling but also looking at you with h8tred. I just respond with their fakeness back. Once I am done with my goals in this neighborhood, I am out. No time. Lolol. I no send them. Na realestate portfolio I dey build one by one
@@aeiou0123 this so true, it’s such a cultural shock cause if a Nigerian doesn’t like you?? Trust me you will know it, we won’t even send your papa.
Am a Nigerian, we come out straight...
We call it as we see it...
Some of us Nigerians say the fact with humility & other's say the fact with some depth of arrogance....
But overall, we go straight to the point...
Thank you Trevor and Burna Boy... this just gave me an appreciation for Nigerians and see them in a very beautiful loving light, a 360 flip😂😂❤️
"a 360 flip"
You do know 360 is that you have gone full CIRCLE and you're back where you started. Don't you mean a 180?
I’m doing my ancestry because I bet I’m Nigerian in the roots😂❤
Keep us updated. You’re welcome to be one of us ❤❤
@Markita255 any update?
I also enjoy Nigerian personality very much especially the women. I love them and the food too. Sweetest people
Love you too
Love u too pls visit nigeria we are very welcoming
Lol Nigerians and Jamaicans...same thing 🤣
I thought the same thing 🤣
This comment! I say it all the time Nigi's remind me of us Jamos 😅

I must admit that I have a lot to learn from Nigerians and I have some friends from Nigeria and I appreciate moments with them.
I grew up in East Africa and once heard Nigerians described as the Texans of Africa... and that felt right
More like New York in Africa.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
It’s so true 😂. I worked for a Nigerian man. He was proud. Like. Scary proud. I adored him but he made me kinda nervous. 😅
I am half Nigerian and this is SO VERY TRUE! We (Nigerians) are built different!!!💯

I friends r many africans but the nigerians r the most funny n' crazy one as us the algerians . So direct
burnaboy is still proving Trevor's point😂
Am a Nigeria and I used to date a guy who was always upset that am too straight forward with my answer. I just don’t have time for small talks.
I love the nigerian accent when they speak English.
Me too! I’ve always loved the lyrical quality of their accent. Something very regal about it.

The accuracy is extremely on point. In Africa it's like instinct to say oh well life is just... well we're just hanging in there. Even if you are balling.
