According
to a BBC article published today, Nigerians are one of the most unruly sets of
human beings around.
As
the article goes, here are the most common bad behaviour exhibited by Nigerians:
The
Nigerians who will never stand in any queue, who must make their way to the
front as soon as they arrive
The
drivers who will never stop at a traffic light, who consider it anathema to
allow an empty space in front of their vehicles
The
invisible individuals who excrete piles of solid waste on the pavements, night
after night
The staff who take three weeks' leave to attend their father's burial, then
another three weeks later in the year to attend their father's burial, again.
"That first one was my father who paid my school fees," they say.
"This one is my biological father"
The
mothers who threaten the head teacher with fire and brimstone because their
children were punished for coming late to school
The
bosses who, in the presence of their entire staff, praise you for your
excellent work skills, then wink and ask if you also have excellent
"bedroom skills", while everyone present bursts out laughing
The
top government officials who show off their importance by the number of people
jam-packed into their waiting rooms. They give you an appointment for 7am,
knowing full well that they do not intend to see you until 10pm
The
air hostesses who frown throughout the flight, to avoid giving you the false
impression that they are at your beck and call
The
"big men" and "big women" who scream "Do you know who
I am?" when you ask for some identity before they can be allowed through
the gate
Those
who ring the airline to request that the flight be delayed for their sakes,
while their fellow passengers gaze out of the aeroplane windows for an hour,
wondering why the flight is delayed, this time
