Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Fulham and Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has revealed what he loves about being a Nigerian.<\/p>\n

The former Arsenal star said Nigerians have unique mannerisms which make them stand out.<\/p>\n

He added that Nigerians are \u201cso loud,\u201d especially the Yorubas.<\/p>\n

Iwobi stated this in a recent interview with Kiss Fresh, London, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The host asked, \u201cWhat do you love about Nigerians and being Nigerian?\u201d<\/p>\n

Iwobi replied, \u201cYou can smell a Nigerian from a mile away. Our mannerisms are so Nigerian, especially Yoruba people. Yoruba people are so loud.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favourite thing about the country is that everyone is so welcoming, rich in hospitality and it\u2019s like one big family. Everyone who is doing well tries to give back to their communities. Every footballer that I am with always try to give back to where they come from. That\u2019s an amazing thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing I do whenever I land in Nigeria and I\u2019m in my hotel room, I order pounded yam and egusi.\u201d<\/p>\n
