28. The way he flows from Ebonics to Pidgin English to Akata with ease.
29. He is just at home at your office picnic as he is at the Naija reunion.

Hee hee heee...darn Csxm, u are too much. but u are sure on point tho.

I love the part about understanding that a woman needs time to get ready.

Another nice part of dating a naija man is that in conversations, there's a lot of things that i would say which wouldn't require explanations ie mutually understood.
