Let’s face it—being Nigerian comes with its own special brand of comedy. Whether you live in the city or the village, we’ve all had some experiences that are just too funny (or too frustrating) not to laugh about later. Here are five hilarious things almost every Nigerian has faced:
1. The “I’m Almost There” Lie
You ask someone, “Where are you?” and they reply, “I’m almost there.” But in reality? They’re just waking up or still inside a Keke at Ojuelegba. Nigerian time is a whole different timezone!
2. NEPA’s Wicked Sense of Timing
Have you noticed how NEPA will wait until you put your food in the microwave or your phone hits 1% before they take light? And when they bring it back, your excitement is louder than the national anthem.
3. The “Who Sent You?” Beatings
As kids, we all got those beatings where your parents ask, “Who sent you?” while beating you. It’s like a Nigerian version of court trial—except you already lost the case.
4. Church Testimonies That Turn Into Life Stories
You go to church hoping for a short service, but one mama grabs the mic and starts her testimony from 1982. Before you know it, service has turned into a biography launch.
5. Nigerian Aunties and Their Questions
Go to any family gathering and you’ll hear questions like:
“You’ve added weight oh!”
“When are you getting married?”
“Is this your real hair?”
You just smile, but deep down you want to disappear.
These moments may be funny, but they’re also part of what makes us uniquely Nigerian. Through all the laughter, chaos, and confusion, there’s always a story to tell—and LodPost is the perfect place to share it!
