I Am African, My Boyfriend Is IGBO, Can We Make It? Help Me Please. by OgaMadam(f): 7:27pm On Jun 01, 2007
Please my treasured people,

help me.  My boyfriend and i have been going out for 3 years.  he is igbo.  i am african.  if we got married (cause he asked me), what are the chances we will last?

Also, although am african, i worry that i am not too familiar with naija culture, cause one day, we may go back there.  as a foreigner there - will i cope?

how do igbo people accommodate foreign african women?

hit me.

Thats not what we look like.

I just put those pics there cause somebody sent them to me in a love letter which i will put in the post below.  I did say "for sound effects".

Of course no nigerian person will describe themselves as african.  but i did say i am not nigerian.   I just wont say which part of africa i come from, at least not now my ladies.

Infact there is a Nigerian song which says 'I'm so proud to be African, yes o yes ooo' . U get me,

You have seen the pics.  Now here are the letters from the two of them to each other.

_______________________________________________________________________

It was an email.

(THOSE WERE THE DAYS!)
Classic,
Dear Sugar
Time and ability plus double capacity has forced my pen to dance automatically on this benedicted sheet of paper. Why! this miraculous thing happened is because papie I love you spontaneously and as I stand horizontal to the wall and perpendicular to the ground I only think of you, since you are a fantastic and fabulous guy. Papie please Stop haranguing with the feelings in my heart because I love you more than a snake loves the rat. To me each day starts by thinking of you and ends by dreaming of you. Each time I see you, my metabolism suddenly stops and my peristalysis goes in reverse gear. My medula-oblangata also stops functioning.
Crazy crazy crazy you may say but this is true. If only you knew what is going on in my encephalon you would understand. That's why I need to see you face to face with you, soon. I think I have to pen-off here because I still haven't finished studying electrolysis and polymerization. Catch you Pa - later. Sleep tight and don't let those bed bugs ever bite you coz you are too sweet a thing for them.
I have put my beautiful picture in the letter for you.

Yourz Ever,
Sugar nonoza



REPLY
Dear Honie
My Love, My Sugar, i was exasperated with pride to have received one from you, the lungs in my body flapped with joy when i have been reading your letter. Anyway by now you have reached the realisations to why i am jotting this small letter to you, yes it is to see if you are keeping with the sands of time.
How is everything on that other side of yours? Well here everything is just half lemon half sugar to make it schweppes. How is your schooling? How are you pulling the wagons of life? I am just pulling the schooling thing like a donkey pulling a cart.

My honie, i am missing you very much right now, my heart is perambulating with every word that i write, if it was not for these oceans that decided to flow between us then i would get on the next bus to come and see you, but until then i know that i will not hesitate to put this blue blood on this paper and write to you. I remember that day lovie, that one sweet day as Maria Curry sanged it, you know that it is my favorites song honie, the one day that we were boarding the combies and you escorted me to my home, walking with you just brought sweet dreams to me for the rest of my life honie.

If words of love could ride a bicycle I would be competing against Diego Maradona. Anyways, i will not stop you from reading the books that give you life and education so I will stop here for today.
Please always writing to me because I am missing you like sugar misses tea. You can see my foto in the letter. My dedications to you are : Maria Curry - One Sweet Day. Boys to Main - And of the Rod.

Keep well my mop of my heart,
Yours in flesh and in blood,
Ruise Sugar Baby



P.S. Sorry about my english, I did not learn anymore

Nana you said:

Infact there is a Nigerian song which says 'I'm so proud to be African, yes o yes ooo' . U get me,



and i understand that. but at the end of the day, i know Nigerians are very tribalistic people. and even if your african, they may still look at you as oyinbo. you understand. so its important that i make that distinction.

In my culture we have customs. what if my husband is not from my custom, it means i have to learn his culture and ways. thats what i mean by the difference.

hit me with your suggestions.

The Nigerians i know will ever say am an African

And about the song, it was based on every countries in the Africa not just Nigeria, because you seem to be misleading what the song is about

WWWWHHHHYYYY

do i have to feel like i am defending myself oh!

Even in real life countless people tell me i look nigerian. They have even by my looks assigned me a tribe. Igbo.

But that is not what am on about. I am not nigerian. i like the name OgaMadam cause the way the Nigerian daddies spoil their women is so --- how can i say. Cool.

I have a real problem people. Help me.

Do i need to learn any nigerian customs and such in order to keep my marriage good. what must i watch out for?

Sincerely.

The girl na fake jo, maybe she's tipsy. You know, it's friday night. I've come across those exact letters she claimed to have received and replied. Infact, something similar is on nairaland, think the jokes thread or so.
Why lie?
