Being Nigerian is more than just having a green passport — it's a full lifestyle! Here are 10 hilarious things every Nigerian can relate to. If you’ve done at least 7, congratulations… you’re proudly Naija!
1. You turn off the fan to hear better during a phone call.
No Bluetooth issue, no network — just vibes.
2. You shout “Up NEPA!” like it’s a national anthem.
Even in 2025, this never gets old.
3. You use “I’m coming” when you’re not coming.
You could be in Ibadan and still tell someone in Lagos, “Give me 5 minutes, I’m coming.”
4. You keep a bag full of other bags.
A plastic bag collection is a family treasure.
5. You shout “Ehen!” instead of saying “hello?” on the phone.
Especially when you're angry or confirming gist.
6. You don’t finish any phone call without “Alright now.”
Even if it’s a serious call, it ends with “Alright, now… bye bye.”
7. You dance small when you find money in your old jeans.
Omo! That ₦500 from 2 months ago is now looking like jackpot.
8. You always say “God forbid!” even when someone just gives example.
“I heard someone fell from okada.” — “God forbid o!”
9. You don’t throw away ice cream containers.
They're our official jollof rice storage bowls.
10. You take birthday rice home… with an extra nylon.
A true Nigerian doesn’t joke with party packs and takeaway.
