Mostly its because we they are used to it!
But you forgot to add that .. they are puzzled by the way nigerians drive, They always wonder why any girl you holla at want you to take her to Mr. Biggs or tantalizers. They go crazy when asked to "do something" by airport officials for no reason. And so on... I'll come back when i remember them
