If you notice that you鈥檝e been making any of the gestures mentioned in this article for a while, you鈥檙e not alone. But remember not to do some of them in public sha.
Covering your mouth when you laugh
Koreans cover their mouth when they laugh as a sign of respect. If you鈥檝e watched a lot of K-drama, you may have copied this habit subconsciously. Sha don鈥檛 do it in front of older Nigerians before they tell you that you think their mouth is smelling.

Slapping your head
In K-drama, the main characters slap their heads a lot. As a Nigerian, adopting this would probably come easy because older people have randomly hit your head since you were a child to date, what difference does it make if you now do it on your own? Make sure you say, 鈥淎ish,鈥 after slapping your head for added effect.
Flicking peoples heads
Flicking people’s heads is the Korean version of knocking someone’s head in a friendly manner in Nigeria. Does it hurt? Yes, but it鈥檚 not your fault you learned bad thing. Everybody go dey alright.
Clapping when you laugh
As a k-drama fan, it鈥檚 not strange to find yourself clapping while you laugh. No, you haven’t been possessed. You鈥檙e just copying what you鈥檝e been watching. As a Nigerian sha, be careful how you do it outside before they think you鈥檝e lost your mind.
Throwing the peace sign
One day you saw your favourite character in a drama series throw the peace sign, and now you can鈥檛 pose for a single picture without doing the same. Don鈥檛 worry. You鈥檙e not alone. Plus, it鈥檚 super cute.
Making a heart with your whole body
The transition from doing this as a K-drama fan to a K-pop fan is insane. All your friends are sick of you posing this way in every picture. Not us, though. We鈥檇 take pictures with you any day.
Making two fists and shouting, 鈥淔ighting!鈥
You can鈥檛 imagine yourself cheering someone on without making a fist and shouting, 鈥Fighting!” as loud as you can. How else will your friends know that you believe in them?
Bowing your head before receiving things from people
People probably think you鈥檙e the most respectful person they鈥檝e ever met, especially if you live in a Yoruba-dominated city. But don鈥檛 overdo it sha, because some people deserve to be disrespected. Don鈥檛 let your head stop you from giving it to them hot-hot.
