7 Rules you will know from living in a real Nigerian setting

6. You must add ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ to your siblings’ names

In Nigeria, anyone who is older than you has to be accorded some respect; so far you were not born on the same day, then he is not your mate. If your immediate sibling is a week older than you, you are expected to add the prefix ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ to his or her name. You will be told this by words or by beating if you fail to do so.
