Sweetlemon: Yeah we all think America is a liberated, free country for all. But what we do not know is that to some extent, there are things that Americans still practice despite all the feminism and human rights movements, some even outdated.

1. Ain't Nothing Like Gender Equality: Yes there are a few superwomen here and there. Beyonce there, Oprah Winfrey there, female supreme court judges, etc. But there is a line drawn somewhere. Do you know that there are still many jobs that pay men more than women for doing exactly the same thing? Business policies are more male-tailored, also the percentage of female CEOs of top companies in Nigeria for instance is far more than that of the US. That's why they have so many laws protecting women to make up for this.
Also, it will be easier for a female president to come out from Nigeria than US (black or white) Let's bet this. Hilary Clinton fans take note of this.

2. They Actually Have a Deep Rooted Culture; Thanksgiving and 4th of July are traditions that will remain till thy kingdom comes and they follow it religiously. They also have certain kinds of music, food, and ways of partying that are strictly American. Apart from their atheists, they collectively say grace at the table during every family meal. They also have a tradition they observe in the weddings. Their weddings are more like trad and white rolled into one.

3. There Are Probably More Percentage Of Housewives In The US Than In Nigeria (minus rural settings); Go to high brow areas like Bel-air where there are wives of successful lawyers and and surgeons doing nothing all than taking care the kids and going shopping. Not just high brow but almost all classes of people. There are more and more housewives choosing to stay back and take care of the home. Some work from the house though.

4. There Are Lots Of Gold Diggers; This is for the "Nigerian girls and money" criers. American and Russian babes no dey carry last in the area of god digging. Marrying an American woman is like getting ready to loose more than half your wealth because in case of a divorce, the courts will give her most of your wealth which you will have to work hard to replenish. Sometimes it"s worse if she already has her own money, she will make sure she gets a good lawyer to squeeze you dry. But American billionaires have ways of making new money so they are coping. Lol. Do you know there are many, many young even middle aged attractive women with the sole aim of marrying wealthy men?

5. Straight Guys Hate Gay Guys; With a passion! Go to American sites and blogs and see anonymous comments from straight guys about gay men. You will coil! Words like "gay asss" or "gay" are used to ridicule them codedly. Gays can NEVER have equal rights in America. Politicians just use them to score points. They all know that homosexuals cannot actually live like and get all the benefits of straight people in all American states.

6. An American Guy Will Choose A Virgin Over A LovePeddler As Wife; Unless, of course love comes in, contrary to what people think that American men don't care about morality in their women, they will pick an inexperienced girl over a LovePeddler any time any day. Not like they are looking for virgins, but they need and crave decent women. If you don't believe me, watch BAGGAGE on Dstv 127 almost every evening. Also visit American blogs and forums. Yes the Average American guy can't resist some one night stands here and there but he can't marry her. Yes they can have baby mamas and even live with them, but they don't marry them.

7. There Are Actually More Percentage of Virgins In America Than In Most Countries In Africa; Some of them are the miss-goody-two-shoes, no makeup, no fancy dresses types while some are the party girl types. They chose to remain virgins not for religious reasons or because they are good girls but because they chose to preserve it for that special man, or to auction it off! Lol! Is it not oyibos that auction that virginity? Some as old as 26 years old!

8. American Guys Go To Meet Their Girlfriend's Families Long Before Nigerian Guys Are Ready For Such; They are also old-fashioned when it comes to serious relationships. Opening car doors, taking you out on several dates, and even meeting your folks before taking you to his house or asking you to come to his. Unlike our Nigerian niggas who get your number today and the next thing they are asking when you will come to see them!

9. Most American Grandmas Are Just As Prim And Proper As Ours; They take care of grandkids and give all the advice and lectures and are just as protective and desirous of grandkids as our own grandmothers.

If you doubt any of these, do some research.

Ryabcool: it depends on the person eating it. I for one prefer hamburgers to hotdogs

ea7: What a well written post with a lot of sources and facts to back it up. You sure are telling the truth and not twisting several anecdotes to fit your narrowminded worldview! /s

Sweetlemon: ;DChai! See all of them forming gangs to like their posts.

My bull crap has over 90 likes while their we-know-better-cos-we-live-there posts are managing 3 likes maximum


*Waits atiently while they gather more friends to like their posts*

MissMeiya:

You must live a very sad life for Nairaland to be this important to you.

Mystiqme:

Did you do some research on numbers 3 and 7? I mean actual numbers? Could you provide a link to the publication, website or even raw data that shows the percentage of virgins in Nigeria and that of virgins in the US? Or a link to a paper that shows the percentage of housewives in Nigeria and the US. I have looked and I didn't find these numbers. If you don't have numbers then these are just suppositions and aren't defensible.

adeoladrg: 7. There Are Actually More Percentage of Virgins
In America Than In Most Countries In Africa?




This is highly impossible!!! In fact, there's no virgin in this world! At most, the percentage will be struggling to hit 5%. Pervs everywhere.

MissMeiya:

She doesn't live here at all. That's why none of it makes any sense. She pulled some bullshít out of her áss and tried to pass it off as an article.

ojeota: Number 7 is a big lie

Joenice: Totally agreed with you. America is the most spoiled nation in the world. Even most of their women are gold-diggers.

seedord247:


NEW YORK, April 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new survey claims that over 70% of young teens in the US have lost their virginity by the age of 14.

The survey of 2,311 youth was conducted in the city of Baltimore by Dr. Danielle Ompad and colleagues for The New York Academy of Medicine and published in the most recent issue of The Archives of Sexual Behavior. “I don’t think other cities would be too different,” Dr. Ompad told the New York Daily News.

The study group found that 42 percent of the youth surveyed had engaged in vaginal intercourse by the age of 14 – a 9 percent increase over 1995 figures reported by the US Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The average age for initiating vaginal intercourse was 14.8 years.

Dr. Ompad said the findings raise concerns over the potential for a spike in sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

If you doubt any of these, do some research.

Atmmachine:

If the guy in question is also a minor, he won't be charged.
Text massages and phone calls are monitored, so if a 22 years old guy sends a romantic text to a girl of 18, he will be arrested.

glitest: 1. True: Its no news, cos such applies everywhere.

2. True: Americans do take their culture seriously....Thanksgiving and Halloween.

3. No longer true: That was before the economy meltdown..The increase of working women is now at an all time high, compared to a decade ago when accomplishing the America dream was easily attainable.

4.VERY TRUE.

5. Very True.....Most find them annoying.

6. I can't help but to roll my eyes over this.....You are dead wrong....You ought to know that THOTING is the new black in America.

7.Not True: Although, Carlifornia might be about the same size as the whole of Nigeria ( if not bigger), but REALLY?

8.Very True: Most couples introduce each spouses to their parents, cos the pressure of whether or not they might get accepted or rejected by the parents, isn't an issue...They get married or stay with each other with or without their parents approval.

9. This would have been true, if we were taking about the 60's. The grand ma's of today are mostly 40 plus year olds, who act no different than their teenage daughters who party 24/7; living their a toddlers at home, for whoever to take care of.

Mind you, I never included foreigners or immigrants.. This refers to just solely Americans.. I also do apologize, if I offended anyone.

CFCfan: @ khiaa. Are u the person liking my posts?

khiaa:


Yes, we Cali's have to stick together.

hanief1911: As an African American I can say that this is funny and to a degree pretty accurate! It had me laughing!
As far as #5 Racism trumps everything. Don't let anyone on here fool you trust me (California born and raised).

khiaa:

You apologised because you know it's a lie. All american grandparents are in their 40's and boozing it up and partying like teenagers? It's people like you who lie and generalise to others who don't know any better and they take it as the truth, now tell me how did you come to know all the American grandparents in the US? Why did you stop there, tell them about the Nigerian parents and other imigrants all over the US who are out partying like their teenagers, come on tell them since you love generalising.

glitest:

I apologized because i knew the op was a female and never wanted to come off a disrespectful towards her or AAmericans, eventhough I totally disagreed with her claims.

As for my opinion?... I do stand firmly by it, and will not change my opinion. I never made up the fact that most African Americans mothers/ grandmothers of today, can never be compared to those of the sixties, when it comes to maturity and self respect; Same also goes for the high rise of young aged mother's and grandma's that do exist now, than they were in the sixties.That is a fact.

As for your claim about most Nigerian parents partying?.....I do not know about the one's you hang out with, but majority of Nigerian parents who reside in the States, do have better things to do in their spare times than to go out partying 24/7.....End of discussion.

khiaa:

Unless you know every American, Nigerian, and immigrant in the US your opinion is just like an azzhole, everybody has one. There are no facts in what you spew out of your mouth.

glitest:

Asshole?. Says a lot about you!....just like i stated earlier, i still do stand by my comment....Deal with it.

khiaa:


The fact that you are a liar says alot about you. Show me stats that will support your rant, that all American grandparents are boozers and useless partiers, also show me stats that shows the opposite of Nigerians and other immigrants. Come on. prove your opinion.

glitest:

You need to take a chill pill, cos you are clearly the one on a rant. My comment, was directed towards young grandma's, and not to all grandparents....Get your facts straight; Also, when the hek did I ever call the grandma's drunk and useless?....pls stop misquoting my comments.

I can attest that most Nigerian grandparents aren't around parting , cos most Nigerian grandparents were brought up with self respect; Most Nigerian grandparents, aren't 40 plus year old single mothers and fathers...Most are now retirees, who have either relocated back to Nigeria, or are helping with the up bringing of their grandkids.
I do not care if you like my comment or not....You just can't fight the fact that I am right about my comment that most AA grandmothers of today, are very young women with Atleast one grandkid..You can call me a liar, but you know that is that damn truth....# peace#
