Which Way For Half-casts by Nobody: 5:19pm On May 24, 2007 |
Forgive the derogatory word half-cast I have used to describe my topic. I am a Nigerian male with a white English mother and black Igbo father. ( Grew up for 27 years in Nigeria ) so spent most of my life there. In Nigeria, I am called Oyinbo (even though I can speak Igbo more than most Igbos) and I can resist most area boys from my experience working in Idumota. And it certainly does my head-in when In England I am called a Mulatto. I married an igbo wife to make me more Igbo and Nigerian. But sometimes she calls me Oyinbo ( even though she forgets all about my Oyinbo status during one of her female tantrums ) . So that defeats my purpose in the first place. In Nigeria for example I cannot be president and likewise here in the UK I cannot be prime minister because of dual interests. Whose fault is it anyway ?? |

You can't be Nigerian President anyway because you are an Igbo man and you can be British PM cos you are half black,so what's your point? Don't tell me you are a Catholic,that makes it even worse for your PM ambitions |
