Is wat he said to me while trying to date me? That did not go well. I can never be with someone who is not open minded to even visit your country. Could you be with someone who tells you flat out they would never want to go to africa or even taste the food.
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by Nobody: 6:43pm On Apr 02, 2011
If they had a clear reason on why they felt this way then why not?
As for the food. That's another matter all completely.

based on ignorance

I do not like Nigerian food and I can not eat it. Sorry. wink

My boyfriend know that. Its always funny for him to make his food in front of my face and see my reaction. grin

I would travel to Nigeria when we arranged everything for it, but I would only go to the big cities. I told him everytime that I would never go with him to all the small small cities.

That what happens when you date someone that is not from the same area as you or culture as you. It will be a time where your man or woman will say I am not interested in visiting your home country.

You will have to decide which is more important to be with the person that you love that do not want to visit your home country or be with someone that may not be for you but will visit your home country.

Are some of the Liberian dishes similar to Nigerian dishes or entirely different?
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by Nobody: 6:56pm On Apr 02, 2011
@poster
I would rather call it preferences.
Maybe the fear of sickness such as Malaria, the mosquitoes, the lack of electricity or simply the constant insecurity at night are enough to make someone decide to NEVER go to Nigeria. Would you say they are ignorant then?!

But they have been there to KNOW that right?, and they do know it's not just AFRICA that's like that, my thing is IF you have never traveled outside of america, for you to tell me You would never visit my country turns me off,

Mrbrownja:

Thats the problem in Nigeria.
We would got with two small children and I am not crazy. I am afraid of my children.


To the food. I do not know what he cook, but oh I do not like meat. And I only saw Nigerian food with a lot of meat wink
The other problem is the pepper in the food. That is killing me when he is cooking it so how can I eat it  grin

I have friends who would never go to Nigeria or any region that is not Industrialized.  That is the exact word they used.  Now there are some of the things that may discourage those who are not used to Nigeria or Africa in general.  

I can understand why the guy or gal would not want to go to Africa or any other countries.  African countries are not the only countries that many people will not visit.

Don't be pissed sis. just pointing that out.

@amina
I would understand that it would turn you off but, at the same time, just because they never left the US(or been to 9ja), doesn't have any weight on the issue.
I have never been to Iran/Afghanistan or north Korea but I know I never want to go there either.

Shows clearly that love is not the other of the day in the relationship.
With love, sky is the limit
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by MrsChima(f): 7:13pm On Apr 02, 2011
Jaybee

What love got to do with it?
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by jaybee3(m): 7:14pm On Apr 02, 2011
With love, ain't gonna be limitations
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by Nobody: 7:15pm On Apr 02, 2011
Jaybee that isn't true.
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by Nobody: 7:16pm On Apr 02, 2011
@katy86
I understand fully what you mean regarding small children. As for the food, no worries, while he makes his dish, you can have your salads, Lol.

@Jaybee
Love?! Are you saying people should drop their common sense and maternal/paternal instinct because of love?!
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by jaybee3(m): 7:17pm On Apr 02, 2011
@MzDarkskin
Why do you say so?
Don't people do things they wouldn't normally do cos of the person they love?
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by MrsChima(f): 7:18pm On Apr 02, 2011
jay bee:

Sorry Jaybee I disagree with you.  If I don't want to visit Africa again that has nothing to do with my love for my husband.  

That just like saying because I love you, you can do whatever you want and I will let it slide because I love you.   undecided
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by ektbear: 7:18pm On Apr 02, 2011
Pretty closed-minded. Most places in the world are very nice if you have money. Africa is no exception.
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by Nobody: 7:20pm On Apr 02, 2011
@Jaybee why would I be willing to
go the extra mile for someone who doesn't even want
to lift his leg to take a step? trust me I care about the guy
but so long as my ethnicity and culture is not important enough
to him, he won't hear about me having interest in his.

If I am not interested in Nigeria or the food that shouldn't
be what determines my 'caring' for him.
Re: I Never Want To Step Foot In Africa by MrsChima(f): 7:20pm On Apr 02, 2011
Jaybee

You will not do anything that YOU do not want to do.  Let be real.  If you are not going to throw your money in the pit of fire, you will not do it.  

Love has nothing to do what a person will do.  Love is nothing but an emotion that one has for another human being that it.  What you feel will determine how you will respond.  IF you feel that you want to go visit China and you have no issue with it.  You will go visit China.  

If you have feelings against going to China, you will not go.

@MrBJ
Well common sense do tend to become insignificant when in love as people generally follow their hearth rather than head.
