Caribbeans In Nigeria by ruffstylie(m): 1:00am On Aug 22, 2010
I made this thread in another forum and someone advised me that I'd be able to get more answers if I post a thread in here. I am just wondering if:

1) There are a lot of Caribbeans living in Nigeria, where do they live or do they have Caribbean communities in Nigeria ?

2) What is the general attitude of Nigerians towards Caribbeans in Nigeria ?

Please share your thoughts.

Cool. By the way, Beenie Man isn't a rapper. He's a dancehall artist. A rapper and dancehall artist are similar but not the same.

I've heard that there are an increasing number of Nigerians in Jamaica. There also is a Nigerian embassy in Kingston, Jamaica.
Nigerian movies are a bit of a trend in Jamaica, and also is allowing many Jamaicans and West Indians to relate to their African heritage that was forcefully taken from them.

Never said the Nigerian presence was huge, I said it was increasing.

I met Nigerians when I was last in Jamaica in 2005

I am not Nigerian by the way.

Does being Jamaican make you a credible source for knowing everything that happens on the island?

How do you know I'm not Jamaican? I'm just not quick to tell everyone.

You are not the only one with connections there. I just am not a braggart.

Nigeria and Jamaica have been working together to strengthen bilateral and economic relations.
Being cousins and all. grin
Re: Caribbeans In Nigeria by Nobody: 9:04pm On Nov 01, 2013
jayvarlaey stop trolling. seriously.
you made a false statement. simple.

i have relatives who live and work in JA with no intentions of leaving.
Some have jobs that require them to travel to all 14 parishes.
So if anyone would know about this, they would and through them would I.

the current ties btn JA and Naija are political in nature.
i know it is your wish that JA was part of the AU but we're not so chillax.
