1. Jollof rice

This mouth-watering tomato-based rice dish is a party staple. There are many ways to cook it, involving endless permutations of meat, spices, chili, onion & vegetables. While it’s widely accepted that Senegal invented this dish, the concept spread to West African

countries. The most notable are Ghana and Nigeria two nations that have vied with one another for supremacy in the jollof wars. Nigerians are the indisputable champions of course, serving up “advanced level” jollof that our Ghanaian rivals can only watch & admire. Oya, come chop!
2. Eating chicken to the bone

While we’re still on the subject of food, Nigerians are champions at eating chicken to the bone and beyond.
It’s not enough to simply eat the flesh. We break the bone, suck out the marrow & pulverize the remainder until there’s almost nothing left.

If your chicken thigh is still forensically identifiable at the end of the meal then you haven’t done it right. Abeg, finish am naija way!
3. Nollywood films

Only Hollywood and India’s Bollywood make more movies than Nigeria. Known as Nollywood, our film industry is big business — so big it contributes 5% to national GDP. With average flicks churned out in under a two weeks, Nollywood films are famous for their

poor(albeit improving) production values. But what they lack in sophistication they make up for in story lines that are an entertaining window on Nigerian moral values and byzantine social dynamics. Narratives exploring servant-master relationships, the supernatural, & infidelity
are delivered with lashings of shouty, eye-bulging overacting. The movies draw a big audience in the rest of Africa, where viewers from reserved societies can revel vicariously in Nigeria’s outlandishness & even pick up some slang. Nigerian soft power has never been greater.
4. Traditional weddings

In Nigeria, if you’ve reached your 30th birthday and are still unhitched, the elders will harass you down the aisle, which is why barely a week goes by without someone staging a traditional wedding ceremony somewhere. Weddings are a sacred part of

4. Traditional weddingsIn Nigeria, if you’ve reached your 30th birthday and are still unhitched, the elders will harass you down the aisle, which is why barely a week goes by without someone staging a traditional wedding ceremony somewhere. Weddings are a sacred part of
cultural life, but also an excuse to show off cuisine, fabulous clothing, music and dance moves in one life-affirming, chromatic bonanza. With 250-odd ethnic groups, the ceremonies come in a variety of styles, depending on your region. In the southwest, the groom and his friends
might prostrate themselves at the start. However, in the southeast you’ll see them dancing their way into the ceremony, wearing bowler hats and clutching walking canes. In other regions, the bride and groom’s families send each other letters of proposal and acceptance before
getting down to dowry negotiations. Once the serious stuff is done, it’s back to music and dancing and, best of all, the tossing of banknotes in the air to make money literally rain down. If you haven’t experienced a traditional Nigerian wedding, you haven’t experienced Naija!

5. Optimism

For all its political and economic troubles, Nigerians are somehow still among the most optimistic and happy people on the planet. Opportunity doesn’t come knocking we chase it, with the help of God, who we all know is on our side. The Lord may have rested on the

5. OptimismFor all its political and economic troubles, Nigerians are somehow still among the most optimistic and happy people on the planet. Opportunity doesn’t come knocking we chase it, with the help of God, who we all know is on our side. The Lord may have rested on the
seventh day of Earth’s creation, but that’s the last day off he’s enjoyed ever since. Nigerians call upon Him 24/7, praying and pumping fists and demanding His favors.
Evidence of our optimistic spirit lies everywhere: It’s in the billboards that promise “a divine upgrade”,
or our hustling entrepreneurial spirit, or the crumbling roadside shacks grandly named “Victory Plaza.” There’s no room for despair when we see ourselves as “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” (to quote Steinbeck) on the expressway to heaven.
6. Proverbial sense

Nigerians love a good proverb and we never stop inventing new ones. Some aphorisms are blunt and to the point. Others can be cryptic, so you sometimes need a high level of “proverbial sense” to understand what they’re getting at: “After God, fear woman"🤣🤣 .

7. Making the best of ‘go slows’ (traffic jams)

Traffic jams — known as go slows — are a daily part of life on Nigeria’s roads, but although they may delay your journey they needn’t stop you from completing your day’s shopping from the comfort of your vehicle. Need some socks?

Street vendors can sort you out. They’ll also sell handkerchiefs, belts, books, newspapers, fruit, vegetables, chocolates, electrical appliances and even oil paintings — if that’s what you’re after. Simply roll down your window and call for their attention.
8. Bronze sculptures

The famous Benin Bronzes are a collection of plaques and sculptures that once decorated the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin. Dating back to the 13th century, these exquisite artworks include bas-relief images of dignitaries or warriors.

They were influenced by the Ife civilization nearby, which produced life-sized bronze heads of the Ooni (king) & his queens. When Europeans first saw the Hellenic-style realism of the Ife sculptures they were “shocked” that Africans could produce such beauty and sophistication.
The British liked the Benin bronzes so much they stole them during punitive raids in 1897 and have kept hold of them to this day. Some of the best specimens are displayed at the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris and Berlin’s Ethnological Museum.
