5 Things Every Nigerian Lies About Doing

Nigeria is a very conservative country.

There are many things that are unacceptable in society. It doesn’t mean we don’t do them. We just lie about those things.

I bet you just thought of a few!

Hypocrisy is rampant in Naija. There are things we do that society frowns on. So, we lie and pretend we don’t do them. Here are 5 things every Nigerian lies about doing:

---

1.  Lying

Every Nigerian lies. Some are pathological liars. Others just tell the occasional white lie. But every Nigerian lies about lying. It’s so funny. Society expects you to be truthful. You’ve probably just told someone “I dey come” even though you have no intention of going there.

2.  Gambling

Our parents painted gamblers as the worse of the worst. Gambling brings easy money. Many Nigerians gamble but lie about it so they are not judged.

What do you think Nairabet and baba Ijebu are?

3.  Not going to church

Many Nigerians who were raised in the Christian faith hardly go to church these days. They have turned Sundays to wash days and such. But ask them if they go to church and you’d get a resounding yes!

4.  Disrespecting older people

Our culture frowns on disrespecting people older than you. Even if they are asking for it with their actions. Many Nigerians would disrespect an older person. Then turn around and preach respect your elders to kids.

5.  Stealing meat from the pot

We’ve all done this. But we never admit to doing it especially when we’re queried by our mothers.
