Look, Nigerians are special, there’s no other way to put it.

When we aren’t winning Jollof wars and well … that’s mostly our selling point, but when we aren’t showing out in the kitchen, we’re displaying skills singe Nigerians don’t even know they possess. Some of our favourites are:

How to pull small gen

See, even if you’ve never attempted to pull a generator before, just know as a Nigerian it is within you to do so. You won’t even need directions, NEPA has made it so.

Being able to predict when NEPA would bring light

Nigerian Constitution

Every Nigerian knows how to use the almighty formula to determine when power will be restored. All it requires is asking ‘when did they take light?’

Being able to identify at first glance that a bus isn’t really full

Those buses that just have park his sitting on and pretending, Nigerians don’t fall for that no mo.

Always being able to pick a carpenter that disappoints

Think about this one very well oh

Carpenters are second only to tailors

self-care coronavirus

If you’re a Nigerian who has never picked a disappointing tailor, use style to check your passport well.

Knowing how to magically turn deaf when your car starts making expensive noises.

Deaf to all negative b.s.

Being able to make an extra lane out of anywhere

You could be walking on a pavement and a Nigerian driver would pick that place to beat traffic
