I'm a Nigerian based in London. I recall a few years ago on a trip to Abuja, Nigeria when I encountered a white British lady in a Queue at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel. I had joined the queue to buy an airline ticket when this lady walked up to the front to attempt to buy her ticket. Shocked at this rude behaviour, I approached her to understand why she chose to ignore the queue. She replied that this was Nigeria where anyone could jump the queue. So I calmly turned to the airline official and warned her that if she sold a ticket to this British lady, there would be trouble. They refused to sell the ticket to this white lady until she left the front of the queue. In London, I identify myself as Nigerian at every opportunity with all the confidence in me.
This is misinformation. Fact checking this comment: In Nigeria, there are no yearly mantras to stand up against anything, talk much of bullying. The "no gree for anybody" is part of the lyrics of a song "I no go gree" by sister Agatha Moses in her album titled "Thank You," that coincide with the economic hardship of a few people experiencing sudden changes in the value of their purchasing power (inflation).There are oppression, bullying, corruption (especially in the Western civilization), political instability, inflation and price increase everywhere in the world, and Nigeria is no exception.
💯 I am a Zimbabwean who has been to Nigeria and has also studied with Nigerians. They are very bold and are go-getters. They are also such lovely people very hospitable, I love their confidence, it's top notch 👌
I'm a Nigerian studying in India. Recently i had my pediatrics oral exams, they call it VIVA, where there are both external and internal coordinators. So when it was my turn, i presented my case and the external coordinator asked me questions based on my case presentation, and i answered and he even commended me. When it was the turn of my internal coordinator to ask me questions, he said I'm a disrespectful person and that I'm giving body language with the way I'm talking and that he's not satisfied with me. Imagine my surprise and shock because I didn't do anything wrong or anything to warrant such comment, i just apologise and he told me to go , without asking me any question, i was really pained and i cried a lot. I wasn't disrespectful in anyway and i can't think of anyway i was disrespectful. It was later my Nigerian friend here was telling me that we Nigerians we have body language and the way we talk can be quite intimidating.
@@stevenfisher2804 yes because we are so conscious of how our brothers were taken from us we don't want a repeat that's y we look them in d face nd say not anymore this our continent u can't be too comfortable again , u are welcome but don't trespass
He's right, and we are respectful, we respect seniors and elders. But it is a common phrase in Nigeria: "if you do anyhow, you see anyhow"! That means "if you respect me, I'll respect you, but if you try to bully me, you will see the other side of me". Something like that!
No you are not respectful of an elder angers a Nigerian the respect is thrown off the window Nigerians get angry very fast .You can’t control that anger !
This is something we grew up with. I’m not even 5 when my mom told me anyone with 2 heads is not human but a monster, and every human whether white green or yellow or brown with one head is the same as me. You’re not better than anyone and certainly no one is better than you also. This is how I grow up and what I’m passing along to the incoming generation. It’s not pride, it’s important to just know who you are. I’m willing to respect and accommodate as long as you are extending the same courtesy to me. Not more than that. It’s simply self-respect.
My ex-husband is 🇳🇬 ( Benin, Edo) a beautifulman, inside& out & I must admit, he reminded me of an American black man, mad confident, slick, had style & a hustler to his heart & he could care less about what people thought of him. Especially YT people. Bless-up Nigeria 🇳🇬
I remember few years back in Liberia where we Nigerian were working for an indian in a construction site as a laborer, when we make mistake he doesn't talk to us rather he went straight to our boss and laid the complain but, when others nationality make any minus mistake sometimes he slap or kick on them but he never do that to us. So I always ask myself why he always treat us different from the others but now i understand why, I'm proud to be a Nigerian anytime any day
I have visited the beautiful island of Lagos, I found the experience and the people of Nigeria to be very respectful and smart and yes very confident I love the visit and enjoy everyone I have met also visited the Balogun Market, So cool! Will be going back soon
As a Nigerian, I stand tall with high self-esteem, nurtured from childhood to be self-aware and confident. This is not a personal trait, but a common thread in Nigerian culture, where children are encouraged to develop a strong sense of self from a young age. In fact, this approach to child-rearing is a timeless tradition among African families, where identity and self-worth are deeply valued. Though colonialism and external influences have impacted our cultural practices, I am grateful to have been raised with these enduring values, which continue to shape my life and inform my sense of purpose.
He is right. As a Nigerian, I always worry for the timidity of my other regular fellow African when we talk to whites. In pigin English we say "dem dey fall our hand"
@ebejale People not timid,if we want to scream,we going to do it home,not in other folk homes.If you guys were used to fighting for y0 rights at home,then you don't have to do all extra stuff.Its when you in foreign land,
@user-wg1ms4rv2e Ps organize peacful demos,start having serious conversation that will propell c0untry up there,when you initiate we can have conversation
I am from Cameroon, and i am very confident because from childhood i read books on slavery which angered me. Now i love being black and speak up for myself. But not a lot of Africans have that. However, i have noticed that Nigerians always seem to be bold wherever i go. I was traveling recently from the UK to Cameroon via Morocco. There was a flight delay in Casablanca, and we had to spend the night there, but the place we were being offered to sleep was terrible. The Moroccan airline guys were also being so rude to African passengers. I started asking them questions, challenging them and asking for a better place to sleep. Other Africans were so timid, then three Nigerian guys arrived and joined me to challenge the airline people saying thats crazy and they wouldn’t accept such a treatment. Long story short, the airline finally complied and shuttled us to a 5-star hotel in town. I immediately became friends with these Nigerian dudes. Cool guys-i like to deal with strong guys…mentally.
@BrightCuzzy They were not angry. They challenged the status quo and got the desired result. No where in the comment was anger mentioned. That's how they labeled MLK as angry, Mandela as a troublemaker, African Americans as angry black men or women. If MLK and others did not organized civil disobedience & boycotts, segregation of all types would still be top of the game today. Hence, I'm voting Kamala Harris, and democrats all the way down on the ballot. We're not going back!
@@BrightCuzzy You’re very right, you don’t. We were not angry, we just spoke up and asked to be treated fairly, to which they complied. If we sat quiet, we would have suffered. You can be bold, respectfully. In this world, they’ll take advantage of you if you’re always a “yes sir” man.
I love my Nigerian brothers to the core, and i have seen this with my own eyes in lagos . If you dont know Nigerians and how they bring their children up , you will think they are being too hash on them, but in reality, they are teaching their children to be bold and brave wherever they go... when you travel to some of these other african countries, you will see how these black parents will be putting fear in their children at the early but when they grow they expect them to be brave... All this behaviour starts from childhood ,
Infact they even hide themselves 😂anyone that comes out must do what we do otherwise they are in trouble because on their land they act like they own the world so we Nigerians don't play that nonsense play
They know their worth? 50% of their country is in poverty. If they knew their worth, their country GDP would be number 1 in the world and they wouldn't flee to the west. They would stay and build their country
..as evidenced by the plethora of charlatan “pastors” and the illiterate fraudster they allowed INEC to foist on them at the last -bought-and-paid-for coronation- - electorally, electronically and judiciarily sound _”democratic election”_ 😬
In most parts of the world, yelling at people is viewed as "aggressive behaviour". The onus is on you to adapt to your surroundings and not expect everyone around you to adapt to you, that is the convention.
😂😂😂 Don’t take politicians serious. Being nice kind calm and not loud is part of good manners all humans believe and love . And good manners are taught to humans by god and don’t have race or culture. Also respect other people’s culture traditions is very important to have understanding when you are in their countries. And if you need tourism than you know very well clean beautiful place security safety hygiene and good manners respect relaxing is what brings you the billions industry tourism
@oceejekwam6829 we as Black people don't have to change anything seeing as europeans go around expecting everyone to change their culture to suit and appease them. You guys say the same thing about all Black people. You say that about Black American woman that we're loud and aggressive. All because you guys can't handle being challenged on your idiot behavior. It's 2024 and no one is playing those games anymore. Understand the world is diverse and people travel.

@@learningearning8385 that's why when you are black and confident that way, in fact on average, a woman will term you as rude; your girlfriend to be specific will think you are rude.
@@tegathemenace Maybe. But speaking with a timid voice doesn't indicate respect for hierarchy. Some of the most disrespectful people don't "sound" like it while they are being it. The problem is some people are insecure and feel threatened by a confident person, even when that person respects them and shows it. To those, respect has to be people trembling or cowering before them. Na, we are not doing that. Nigeria has strong respect culture but don't roll with timidity. And we thank GOD for that.
Malema is spot on. I'm a Nigerian. Our confidence comes from deep within. We're not submissive to anyone just because of their colour. You must win my respect!
The man is absolutely right, that's why the owner of binance is currently serving jail term in Nigeria, he said he thought Nigeria was like other African countries where he bullied his way through
The Binance executive was "invited" to Nigeria to talk with the government and detained on "trumped up charges". The government said that Binance were responsible for the weak naira, the naira was already weak before he arrived and has remained weak since he has been detained, so that clearly isn't true. Binance didn't come to "bully" anyone. In this case, the Nigerian government is wrong and behaved incorrectly. Look for a better example to refer to please.
As a Nigerian I tell you this. It happens here in Nigeria .. Some of the few whites we have here don't like been challenged or talked back at but we do. We don't care
This facts, I love Malema! I just wish the whole of South Africa embraced him. U don’t have to agree with everything just take all the many good things.
We embraced him and love him still, but what annoys us is his actions he talks a good game but does the opposite in real life. Its a problem when you say onething then do the other. An example is he says onething about YT people then he hires all YT bodyguards and says he trusts them more than blacks. We South Africans are not sold on talk but actions, mean and do what you say
@@NinohBrown....Got ds ur angle now coz being really sick why he's not voted. Now I understand but his pan Africanism, draw me to him n I just wish all blacks could forge a common front.

There’s probably some truth there. Nigerians are confident and should be considered they are the leading economy on the African continent. I’m an FBA BM by the way.
@@gregoryc7926 Foundational Black American black man. I applaud the Nigerians for their confidence and dignity in this regard. No one respects a beggar. Perhaps they will set the pattern for 21st century African diaspora.

Absolutely true. Super confident people. Rest of africa is timid and want to be liked. If Nigerians were traveling globally like they have in last 60yrs, they would never have been enslaved.
What😂😂😂 Nigerians were enslaved by the Portuguese and later by the British? What are you talking about??? Nigerians still wear old British style judicial colonial wigs in court the British there former colonizers don't even wear that stuff anymore your statement is laughable LMAO
@@transparency29 another sl0w "FBA"? 😂 Maybe learn to read and grasp what "in last 60yrs" means. 1. No one in that country was enslaved 2. Chattel slavery never existed anywhere I know of in Africa 3. The only people I know of who un-alive-d themselves instead of being enslaves to them folks were Nigerian (Igbo Landing)
No, if Nigerians didn’t allow tribal differences to be a factor, then in that way, they would’ve not been enslaved. In fact, that goes for all of Africa.
I told an indian in an organization I belong to in the Uk that I need to talk to the oga at the top about something I feel isn't right. He said why dont I tell another person close to the oga to tell the oga. I say why would I do that? Oga no go bite me na, is either he agrees to what I have to say or disagree, chikena! Your video here made me understand better. But thats who we are, to change that sef go be sin
I wish the same boldness and confidence can also be shown by Nigerians towards corrupt local government, towards corrupt senators, towards the corrupt *judiciary,* towards corrupt governors, towards cowardly and corrupt clergy (and their children), towards the corrupt president, towards the evil I.M.F and, towards the evil World Bank!!!

James 1.5-8 if any of you lack wisdom you should ask God, who gives generously without finding fault and it will be given to you. Malema spread hate and misinformation.
Seriously though, I feel like Nigerians display such confidence because they support one another, especially when they are abroad. They know for a fact that if they get fired or subdued for standing up for themselves or their nation, then at least 5 other Nigerians will support them. When you have the support of your people, then you can walk tall anywhere in this world.
@@negroraven9458 More than 230m people are working living in Nigeria while Nigerians living outside Nigeria is not up to 2million you can google it and stop saying rubbish
As an African and a Nigerian to be specific, I have come to realize that I have overestimated the average human intelligence. So I have naturally adapted to speaking in very clear and unambiguous terms that even a sheep would comprehend. Unfortunately, lots of people consider this as being rude and uncouth. And it’s even a bigger problem when I show that I care less about their opinions of me. This approach saves me a lot of troubles down the line.
That's just the fact. I was talking to a Kenyan lady in the UK and she was complaining about why I am so harsh at her all the time. That's the way we are naturally.
@gene5856 wdym black Nigerian men? You can't be Nigerian if you're not black. This isn't South Africa. We're not doing rainbow nation with anybody 😂 The land is black and it's people are black.
I am Nigerian. I remember the day I was disgruntled when a former italian colleague of mine during my internship days in kenya made some wrong assumptions about me. The way I warned her ehn...she just pack go one side.
I'm black from America this happens in the workplace. You have an opinion you stand firm and assertive, they label it as intimidating and uncooperative. Once they figure out you're not a yes boss, no boss brown nosin type of person, you're fired.
You nailed it, I am a Nigerian, who retired from the Army and went to work for a state company, a quasi corporation, I quit because I can't play their bootlicking games. I now live off my military retirement . I just can't take disrepect . Corporate life is not what it cracked up to be. Now I live life on my own TERMS.
This happens to anyone, regardless of race, ethnicity or sex, when they are not viewed as a team player. It has nothing to do with race. However, with that said, it only happens in toxic work environments led by weak people; leadership that is result oriented welcomes dissenting opinions and new ideas.
Julius Malema is exactly right! ...They use simple social interactions as a measure of power over another who is simply displaying his or her courteousness as a human being.
I'm glad to finally get an answer for why I was identified as a rude person while working in the united states. They even place that remark on my annual performance appraisaI. And I dug hard to find out why they will say thet but left it at that until today after watching this. Yes I am Nigerian and say it as I see it, though Im not generally overbearing. Thanks for finally helping me solve that puzzle.

Nigerian here, Juliud Malema is right. Life in Nigeria in the 60s up to early 80s, whenever small kids saw any white people approaching or visiting their village, all of them will come out from their houses following, clapping and singing Oyinbo Pepper (Oyinbo means White in Yoruba language).They use it as a means of catch fun among their playgroup. Average Nigerians did not grow up with white saviour mentality.
@@calistermadukwe7977 Afin means albino. We can tell the difference between white and albino. Oyinbo is Yoruba word for white people that's why European countries are called "ilu Oyinbo" in Yoruba language
@emmanuelogundipe3328 oyinbo is not a yoruba language, is an English pingin language for white pple, if check the song self is sang in pingin. The word oyinbo is pingin language for white pple
Well, confidence is what we teach our children after we teach them how to respect and greet their elders. Here in Nigeria we get less bulling in schools or in the society at large because we were taught self esteem,self worth and confidence right from home.
🇳🇬What I love about Nigerians is how they confidently introduce themselves, by unapologetically pronouncing their native African names with dignity and pride. In Ghana, majority, look down on people with native names. People from my tribe(Evehs)have been oppressed for so long by fellow Ghanaians, because our native names are actual elaborations of our native tongue, and factual declarations of historical and spiritual events. Ewehs continue to suffer emotional abuse, intimidation and segregation from the larger Ghanaian community to this day… Eweh school age Children hide their identity because of the tribal bullying, and blatant separatist practices embedded within the Ghanaian culture… Ewehs are called “Those People” in Ghana. Because I suffered these atrocities, I grew a liking to Nigerians. Ghanaians on the other hand remain extremely weak and timid around White people… Nkrumah and his Government, were the last breed of Ghanaians who did not cower before the Yevu/Obroni/blofonyo … There’s a lot we can learn from Nigerians as Africans, wrangling neocolonialism.
Malema is right. It generally like that in the whole of West Africa, not only Nigeria. Remember the story of Kunta Kunta, as told in a book titled 'ROOT', written by Alex Halley. Mandela has that same spirit.
Not true. Ghanaians, Senegalese, Togolese, Sierra Leonians, Guineans, Ivorians, Malians, etc are some of the most timid and subservient Africans on the continent when it comes to serving and addressing Whites, Asians and Arabs.
As a Nigerian, my mum always rings it in my ear “do not let anybody intimidate you “ It was always said to me before a new class, term, school, job. Everytime
I'm from the US, but I detest the US government. I love to hear Julius Malema speak. He is genuinely for his people, and he is serious about ending white occupation, influence, and corruption. He is a noble and wise leader who speaks truth. When speaking of negativities, he can also be so very witty. Double smiles when I listen to him! ✊🏿

@@somaphungarsa My friend, Nigerians are not in short supply of people back home that can develop the nation, there are millions of Nigerians that are working behind the scenes to get back the country on track.

Those of us that elect to stay behind are working behind the scene to get things straight.
So true, I am Nigerian and in my country, we don't respect colour. We respect what you bring to the table. If it's of benefit to us, we respect you, if it's not well nobody would bother with you. We don't also see white people as special. We see them as people who feed off us bcos of the minerals and oil that we have and know that they need. Many people here including the poor are very aware of this in their subconscious. It's not an act of rudeness, it's just how things are here.
Just two days ago a magistrate court here in Lagos sentenced one dubious American business man to 75 yrs imprisonment for swindling over 50 Nigerians off $ 1m. They know who we are, they can't stand out audacity and confidence. Period 😮🤨🇳🇬💪🤕💪🔥
"No gree for anyone ". Is not only by word of mouth. It by action. Respect yourself, Nigerians go respect you. But pass your boundary , you will see the other side of Nigerians.
I can look them in their eyes, and speak, confidently because i know what they've done to my people; and they know that i know; so all the time they'll look away
What have they done to your people? I'm a Nigerian btw, and we are as responsible for the atrocities of slavery as the white people. Fun fact: we were not the only ones enslaved in history. Some of the whites were once slaves to the Arabs.

I am a Nigerian. I did a course called Culture and Civilisation at the University of Ibadan (RECTE SAPERE FONS). It was a general course for all fresh students at 100 Level. That course changed permanently my perception of language and culture. I was introduced to the fact that there is no superiority in culture and no superiority in language. I was taught the reason every culture and every language is as important as every other one. I take this knowledge with me everywhere I go including Canada where I now live and work. Needless to mention that I have benefitted a lot from this mindset of social interraction. There is hardly anything you can use to intimidate a Nigerian. So this topic is not only taught at home by our parents, it is also taught as part of formal educatiuon up to University level.
Yes ke!! In Nigeria everyone is a prince and princess. And if you dare insult them, they will ask.. “do you know who I am?” Possibly the most intelligent people on the planet. that is why Oyinbo gives us bad reputation but we no care ! We are still prince 😂

From a young age, we're taught that no one is above us, and no one is beneath us. That's why a Nigerian will naturally show respect to everyone. But the moment there's a hint of disrespect, they'll respond in kind. For us, respect is universal, regardless of race, age, or color.
White people are human beings like me. I am a Nigerian woman who lives in US. Yes Julius Malema is right, we don’t fear people but respect everyone equally but if you look for our trouble we give it to you the way you want it no matter what race you are including my fellow Nigerians
It is obviously so painful to read about the state of S.A. where whyte pple are aiming at splitting it just like their ancestors did the continent and the "leaders" of south Africa are taking no action to stop it. They are destroying the legacy of Mandela...too bad south africans seem powerless.
This IS the LEGACY of Nelson Mandela, when HE was in power he did NOTHING to TAKE the land BACK and give it to the RIGHTFUL OWNERS, he let the foreigners KEEP the land and ALL power in their possession!!!!💯🧠😡

Julius Malema is very much correct in his assessment of Nigeria’s self pride. Nigerian show no fear of other men regardless about their supposed social-status. Nigerians have swag!
I just wanted to say Nigeria has the potential to become one of the most powerful black Nations since Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, and Mali they do have some issues that they need to fix security issues and economics that they need to fix but they have the potential
Growing up as a Nigerian, my Grand Father said to me that any day I cried home because I was beaten in a fight that he is going to beat me even more, that he will not carry lantern to someone's house to complain of me being beaten rather people should carry lantern to our house to complain of me beating them. That stock with me till today I ve never cried home or being beaten by anyone till date.
I'm a Nigerian based in London. I recall a few years ago on a trip to Abuja, Nigeria when I encountered a white British lady in a Queue at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel. I had joined the queue to buy an airline ticket when this lady walked up to the front to attempt to buy her ticket. Shocked at this rude behaviour, I approached her to understand why she chose to ignore the queue. She replied that this was Nigeria where anyone could jump the queue.
So I calmly turned to the airline official and warned her that if she sold a ticket to this British lady, there would be trouble. They refused to sell the ticket to this white lady until she left the front of the queue. In London, I identify myself as Nigerian at every opportunity with all the confidence in me.

He's right, and we are respectful, we respect seniors and elders. But it is a common phrase in Nigeria: "if you do anyhow, you see anyhow"! That means "if you respect me, I'll respect you, but if you try to bully me, you will see the other side of me". Something like that!
In US we say, “if you don’t start none, won’t be none.” Means about the same thing.
No you are not respectful of an elder angers a Nigerian the respect is thrown off the window Nigerians get angry very fast .You can’t control that anger !
You must respect yourself to be respected

Naso. Respect is reciprocal. ✌🏽
This is something we grew up with. I’m not even 5 when my mom told me anyone with 2 heads is not human but a monster, and every human whether white green or yellow or brown with one head is the same as me. You’re not better than anyone and certainly no one is better than you also. This is how I grow up and what I’m passing along to the incoming generation. It’s not pride, it’s important to just know who you are. I’m willing to respect and accommodate as long as you are extending the same courtesy to me. Not more than that. It’s simply self-respect.

As a Nigerian, I stand tall with high self-esteem, nurtured from childhood to be self-aware and confident. This is not a personal trait, but a common thread in Nigerian culture, where children are encouraged to develop a strong sense of self from a young age. In fact, this approach to child-rearing is a timeless tradition among African families, where identity and self-worth are deeply valued. Though colonialism and external influences have impacted our cultural practices, I am grateful to have been raised with these enduring values, which continue to shape my life and inform my sense of purpose.

However, i have noticed that Nigerians always seem to be bold wherever i go. I was traveling recently from the UK to Cameroon via Morocco. There was a flight delay in Casablanca, and we had to spend the night there, but the place we were being offered to sleep was terrible. The Moroccan airline guys were also being so rude to African passengers. I started asking them questions, challenging them and asking for a better place to sleep. Other Africans were so timid, then three Nigerian guys arrived and joined me to challenge the airline people saying thats crazy and they wouldn’t accept such a treatment. Long story short, the airline finally complied and shuttled us to a 5-star hotel in town. I immediately became friends with these Nigerian dudes. Cool guys-i like to deal with strong guys…mentally.

🇳🇬What I love about Nigerians is how they confidently introduce themselves, by unapologetically pronouncing their native African names with dignity and pride.
In Ghana, majority, look down on people with native names. People from my tribe(Evehs)have been oppressed for so long by fellow Ghanaians, because our native names are actual elaborations of our native tongue, and factual declarations of historical and spiritual events.

We, from Guinea Bissau in Portugal, we don´t accept any kind of desrespect from them
❤ This is wow! Very True!
We Nigerians are special breed
I'm Nigerian, fearless and have the balls to stand anyone...
Just two days ago a magistrate court here in Lagos sentenced one dubious American business man to 75 yrs imprisonment for swindling over 50 Nigerians off $ 1m.
They know who we are, they can't stand out audacity and confidence. Period 😮🤨🇳🇬💪🤕💪🔥
"No gree for anyone ". Is not only by word of mouth. It by action. Respect yourself, Nigerians go respect you. But pass your boundary , you will see the other side of Nigerians.
Wole, 9ja = wahala plenty , walai !
I can look them in their eyes, and speak, confidently because i know what they've done to my people; and they know that i know; so all the time they'll look away
What have they done to your people? I'm a Nigerian btw, and we are as responsible for the atrocities of slavery as the white people. Fun fact: we were not the only ones enslaved in history. Some of the whites were once slaves to the Arabs.
You be my person abeg👍
My brother Julius, bold as ever, you remind me of Steve Biko..May Olodumare continue to protect you and give you more wisdom to fight the struggle ahead..Ase
That's Beautiful to hear! Next stop Nigeria 👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Let’s link when you get here. 🤞🏾
Yeah he is right we Nigerians believes that when you talk we are ready to listen and ready hold you to a conversation.
I don't want peace, I want PROBLEMS ALWAYS!😡
😅
I am a Nigerian. I did a course called Culture and Civilisation at the University of Ibadan (RECTE SAPERE FONS). It was a general course for all fresh students at 100 Level. That course changed permanently my perception of language and culture. I was introduced to the fact that there is no superiority in culture and no superiority in language. I was taught the reason every culture and every language is as important as every other one. I take this knowledge with me everywhere I go including Canada where I now live and work. Needless to mention that I have benefitted a lot from this mindset of social interraction. There is hardly anything you can use to intimidate a Nigerian. So this topic is not only taught at home by our parents, it is also taught as part of formal educatiuon up to University level.
Yes ke!! In Nigeria everyone is a prince and princess. And if you dare insult them, they will ask.. “do you know who I am?” Possibly the most intelligent people on the planet. that is why Oyinbo gives us bad reputation but we no care ! We are still prince 😂
Nigeria is not just a country, NIGERIA is a MIND SET, NIGERIA means Africa. We are all Africans when we have the African mind set...Freedom and equality
We are not rude, we are humans
🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬🇳🇬
As a nigeria who based in eu(rome) for the past 15yrs. One thing i have observe in italy is that most citizens find very difficult to be unique( be themselves) they donot speak up when they are supposed to.
Nigerians donot show pretend or hypocrisy. Sometimes such character attract hatred and maltreatment in our confrontation.
🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬😃🇳🇬🇳🇬
note: **most parents in europe donot know how to say NO to their children. So they grow thinking everybody is available to please them**

We as Nigerians, are born with confidence. If u ever come across a Nigerian that is timid, he/she is aiming for something, don’t be fooled🤣🤣
💯 Fact.
From a young age, we're taught that no one is above us, and no one is beneath us. That's why a Nigerian will naturally show respect to everyone. But the moment there's a hint of disrespect, they'll respond in kind. For us, respect is universal, regardless of race, age, or color.
White people are human beings like me. I am a Nigerian woman who lives in US. Yes Julius Malema is right, we don’t fear people but respect everyone equally but if you look for our trouble we give it to you the way you want it no matter what race you are including my fellow Nigerians
Well said.
I once had an altercation with a US marine commanding officer for asking me an infuriating question.
It is obviously so painful to read about the state of S.A. where whyte pple are aiming at splitting it just like their ancestors did the continent and the "leaders" of south Africa are taking no action to stop it. They are destroying the legacy of Mandela...too bad south africans seem powerless.
This IS the LEGACY of Nelson Mandela, when HE was in power he did NOTHING to TAKE the land BACK and give it to the RIGHTFUL OWNERS, he let the foreigners KEEP the land and ALL power in their possession!!!!💯🧠😡
@@alinmoise-vl7uy S.A has been splitting before whites arrived. It's about who wins the war and who does what with the spoils of war.
I envied Nigerian students in overseas for their confidence, they were the person I wanted to be
Even as immigrants, nigerians standout. They will confidently compete for the marketable jobs with the indegenious people while others are going for the available casual jobs the indegenous people dont want to take up
That isn’t unique to Nigerians. That’s the story of most immigrant groups.
The looking in the eyeball thing means you are telling the truth.
It's not only confidence, it also means being truthful.
Love Julius Malema
From Nigeria
I'm a Nigerian and I don't care if you're my boss and you are green or white or yellow you can't stop me from expressing myself looking straight into your eyes and I also want to be heard and not misunderstood.
Julius Malema is very much correct in his assessment of Nigeria’s self pride. Nigerian show no fear of other men regardless about their supposed social-status. Nigerians have swag!
I just wanted to say Nigeria has the potential to become one of the most powerful black Nations since Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, and Mali they do have some issues that they need to fix security issues and economics that they need to fix but they have the potential
My Nigerian roommate was expelled from his uni in europe because he was tagged as rude.
He wasn't, he just didn't accept to be treated shabbily.
No lies detected 🙌🏾
In Nigeria our parents will always say dont be intimidated and they will quote"do they have two heads" be yourself and face it
The Europeans and Americans and the Asians know this so clearly,
Growing up as a Nigerian, my Grand Father said to me that any day I cried home because I was beaten in a fight that he is going to beat me even more, that he will not carry lantern to someone's house to complain of me being beaten rather people should carry lantern to our house to complain of me beating them. That stock with me till today I ve never cried home or being beaten by anyone till date.
