7 misconceptions foreigners have about Nigeria

There have been many misconceptions about Nigeria and her people made by foreigners; it is like judging a book by its cover. You would be surprised that many foreigners do not know much about this country or the little they know, they mix up the details with that of Africa.

Find out some of the things foreigners do not know about Nigeria below:

1. All Nigerians have royal blood

Don’t believe everything they show in the movies.

It is quite understandable that you watched ‘Coming to America’ and now have the impression that blacks have some royal blood coursing through their veins. The country may have deep cultural heritage but then, it is not the same as everyone being affiliated to some throne.

2. Africa is the same as Nigeria

It is a bit unsettling when foreigners assume everything is the same here. How absurd for them to think Africa and Nigeria happen to be the same place? Some even go on to assume you would know some Natalia from Kenya as soon as they know you are a Nigerian. Abeg, what is the correlation?

7 Names You Don’t Want To Give Your Child In Nigeria

Firstly, this is Nigeria and there is the need to carefully review the kind of names we give our children.

We are a nation with a deep rooted belief for culture and value.

While many people prefer to give their children foreign names, many people do not want to lose touch with the culture we have tried to preserve for years.

That being said, there are some indigenous names you dare not name your child in this present age and day.

Some names in Nigeria depict stupidity and go on to portray the bearers of such names as people who are not smart and are naturally silly.

It should be known that the names you give a child go a long way in that child’s future.

Give a child a name that means bitterness and you would be surprised to see that child goes through trials and tribulations all through his life.

Without wasting much time, check out some of the names you may not want to name a child in Nigeria:

1. Akpos

Please if your wife is expecting a child, do not include Akpos when you are compiling names to give that child.

Akpos have become the joke of the century in Nigeria and is being used wildly in the entertainment world.

People who bear this name are so dumb they could hardly make sentences that are filled with good points.

This character may stick to your unborn child as he may never be taken serious.
