Brehs… the speed at which Nigerians can recognize another Nigerian needs to be studied by scientists 
I once saw a Naija dude clock a woman as Nigerian in 0.1 seconds flat. No exaggeration.
Nothing about her screamed “Naija.” No accent, no gele, no jollof scent. Sis was fully in “Black American” stealth mode talking with ATL slang, box braids on point, prolly had Meg the Stallion playing in her AirPods
This man just glanced at her and said, “You’re Nigerian.
”
No warm-up, no conversation, just instant homeland radar activation
She tried to deny it like, “Nah, I’m from D.C.
”
He hit her with the squint and said, “Which part of Lagos is D.C. again
?” 
Turns out he was right. She laughed, said her parents were from Ibadan or something, they both nodded in mutual Naija recognition...
…and then proceeded to never speak to each other again
That’s the funniest part. Why do yall need to find out someone is Nigerian so badly then then proceed to do absolutely nothing with that info? I once witnessed a Nigerian find out his waiter was Nigerian then proceed to not tip after finding out.
Nigerians can detect each other with supernatural accuracy, confirm the identity, maybe say “Ah, you’re Yoruba abi?” and then immediately go back to minding their business like the mission’s complete.
1.Identify fellow Nigerian
2. Confirm tribe
3. Zero further contact
It’s like there’s a worldwide secret agent game only Nigerians are playing:
Find the hidden Naija, expose them, then vanish into the crowd before HQ finds
