How To Spot a Nigerian On An International Flight
Nigerians
are unique in every way. While the country itself is divided into over
30 states and there are numerous tribes and ethnic groups, there are
some attributes that they all seem to share and some quirks that point
them out wherever they go or in the way
they react to certain things.
Also, as inquisitive and boisterous people, Nigerians love to travel and
explore the world around them. A way they like to do that is by flying.
Some of the favourite airlines include British airways, KLM and
Emirates. While on these international flights however, there are
certain behaviors they exhibit that tend to mark them out completely. Jumia Travel reveals these behaviors that mark out the citizens of the giant of Africa on international flights.
Excess hand luggage
There
is always at least one culprit on every flight with either a bag that
is way too big to be a carry-on or with a significant number of small
bags as hand luggage. That person is usually a Nigerian! Sometimes, you
even see a Nigerian begging other passengers to help them carry some of
their hand luggage and pass it off as theirs, that way it is allowed
into the flight. Nigerians generally seem to like carrying a lot of load
but do not enjoy paying for extra luggage.
Dressed to kill
No
matter the country they are travelling to: England, Pakistan, Dubai or
even neighboring Cameroon, Nigerians tend to make a big deal of it,
especially when it is their first time travelling out of the country.
They tend to “dress to kill” as a way to beef up their confidence or
just impress those who they may meet on their way. You find them wearing
high heels, fur coats, sunglasses and heavy perfumes. Chances are the
one person who seem too overdressed on an international flight is
usually a Nigerian.
Eats as many times as possible
The
one passenger who tries everything on the flight menu is most certainly
a Nigerian. Not that Nigerians are grubs; they just like to maximize
opportunities and let’s face it, anyone is more confident on a full
stomach. Thanks to airlines
that have cut back on food service, some passengers are forced to bring
their own snacks and meals onboard. Watch out for the passenger with
the widest variety of food, they are probably Nigerians.
Chats loudly/proudly
Nigerians
are generally boisterous and friendly. They also love to talk about
themselves, their achievements and where they are from. If you have an
overly friendly passenger by your side who just won’t quit with the
small talk, chances are he/she is Nigerian. Again, it is the Nigerians
who would loudly talk into the phone upon arrivalsaying
something like “can you hear me? … we just landed … I’m on the runway …
can you hear me now? … We just landed … ” and laughing loudly with
every pause.
Abusing freebies
A lot of people do this, but Nigerians are the biggest culprits. Yes, everyone loves
a freebie, but apparently, some Nigerians can take it too far, even to
the point of getting into an embarrassing situation. From collecting
more than one sleep masks, to asking for certain discounts, Nigerians
are the first in line.
Hogging the toilet
Most
Nigerians tend to stay forever in the airplane toilet. Despite the
number of others who hover cross-legged by the door, they rarely come
out until they are certain they are completely done with whatever it is
they were doing in the first place. If there is anyone spending forever
in the airplane toilet, chances are they are Nigerian.
