I've never been called fake because despite growing up in a very english background, I tend to say real shit. The major difference is that I don't have fancy taste like you sha. I dey drink action bitters, erujeje and spend time in "local joints". In those places, I dey speak English or pidgin, depending on my mood and people i meet there adjust accordingly.

But yeah, generally speaking, being fancy actually is counted as being fake in Nigeria. I remember one of my cousins that spoke " phoné". My brothers made fun of her regularly but in hindsight, she didnt really do nothing wrong, she was just fancy.

Then again, considering how everything is shit in Nigeria, being fancy and wanting exquisite things rubs off as being fake. Oh well.
