A UK-based Nigerian lady, known on social media as @omotodunnn, has surprised many by speaking out about what she misses most about her home country, Nigeria.
In a post on the micro-blogging platform X, the lady compared her experiences in the UK with her memories of Nigeria, revealing a unique aspect of Nigerian culture that she feels is missing in the UK.
Misses the Nigerian Experience of Kind Strangers
The Nigerian lady reflected on how, in Nigeria, it’s common for someone to slow down and offer a ride to a stranger, especially if the person is attractive. She noted that this was a regular occurrence whenever she walked in her home country.
Her words on X read:
“I miss Nigeria. 😩 You could be walking down the road, and a sugar daddy would just say, “Fine girl, let me drop you off.” But in the UK, there’s nothing like that. 😩”
Reactions from Nigerians on the Comparison
The post quickly garnered attention, with many Nigerians sharing their thoughts and experiences in the comments.
- @ifylicious1 shared: “Like nobody is giving free money for just being a fine girl 🤦♀️ this UK eh. In Abuja, you will just finish shopping and a random fine man in kaftan will pay for your shopping just for the fun of it. Nobody has paid for my shopping in this UK.”

- @Akinbabs385 remarked: “🤭🤭🤭🤭 everybody dey mind dem biz for here 😃😃”
