Trevor Noah once said Nigerians
are the most confident people after black Americans and he is right. We carry ourselves with bold energy wherever we go but sometimes what people call Nigerian confidence is actually just arrogance.
. When Nigerian celebrity like Davido constantly brags about his father’s wealth, mansions, and owning a university, or when another celebrity like burna boy responds
with disdain in interviews, that’s not confidence, that’s arrogance.
True confidence doesn’t need to put others down or constantly flex. Look at Cristiano Ronaldo and Keanu Reeves .. ridiculously confident but still carry real humility. I have seen there interviews and there humility and confidence amazes me..Confidence and arrogance are two different things and we need to stop mixing them up

You are right, and a truly confident person feels no need to be arrogant and boast.

I agree. Some arrogant people aren't really confident at all but cover it up with swagger.

A Confident person doesn't need to be boastful because it doesn't make sense.
