We are in a country whereby people have developed the habit of asking a person how his or her night was, after saying good morning to them at dawn, this habit which is quite natural in Nigeria for some is seen as an inquiry of privacy, especially those based abroad. One person who might find the question absurd is Fancy Acholonu, as she revealed in an Instagram post that '' good morning, how was your night? I don't know I was sleeping. '' she wrote.

The beautiful lady who shared some pretty images of herself accompanied by the quote, must belong to those school of thoughts who find asking a person '' how was your night? '' an inquiry that is odd and shouldn't be so, as that is what her caption signifies, plus the fact that she was born abroad is a fact that she understands that is not a polite question to ask a person, rather you should ask how a person is doing?

If you are wondering why the question is seen as an absurd one to ask, here are two possible reasons why this is so:

It is normal that a person is sleeping at night, and sleeping is a process that doesn't give room to multitasking, so how will a person tell of an activity he is doing, while he is dozing? It just doesn't make sense at all.

Apart from sleeping many people at night might be involved in things that shouldn't be revealed to another party, like a couple might be making love, so you don't expect such information to be revealed to you, do you? Hence, asking such question is tantamount to you being nosey, so it is best avoided, rather say did you sleep well.
