THE AMAKA:

you mean three legit nigerian-americans as in only 3 that are born in America to Nigerian parents? you can't be serious.
ehhhhhhh, well most people don't know I'm Nigerian or African unless they hear my name or I personally tell them, cause i don't have the stereotypical look, i guess.

as for your second question, not 100% sure yet, but it will be biology-related. but then again, i think i wanna relocate to naija, and going into the medical field would NOT be a good thing, cause we know how messed up the health care system in Nigeria is.

sooooo, what do you look like (detail please)?
*this is for you OAM4J!*

only 3 to be honest, i couldn't even tell they were african because they had that american accent, 1 is at my university, 2 i met at a place i go and hang out

what do i look like, i'm 6ft1 and lean, hooded eyes many people think i smoke because of my eyes, generally i guess if i tell someone from nigeria where i'm from they will most probably tell just by looking at me, how about you

you left out some stuff. too vague, abeg
okay

I'm 5'1'', heavy-set, big belly, arms, legs, face, 3 roles on my neck, a thick mustache, big forehead, crooked, yellow, teeth, and shaved-drawn on eyebrows








jk
I'm 5'8'', slim/petite, i guess you can say close set or deep set eyes(brown), small nose, average sized lips, and shoulder length hair (dark brown)

and did you say only three? i thought you said you were in new york and texas. you should have at least met 20 by now.

haha

i have full lips and a small pointy nose, brown eyes also with high cheekbones. yes only 3 born in america, the ones i come across are usually born in nigeria and are probably more than 10 , do you have an american accent

full lips you say? when i was in Nigeria, they regard anyone with a small nose or a pointy one as having oyinbo noses. even though many do, they believe its sooo oyinbo, i was like wtf? i have a small nose, not oyinbo nose. but i guess i can't blame them. lol
Yes I have an American accent, a California one to be specific.
so what is your skin like? are you brown or dark with a red undertone? or are you yellow? or? . . .

lol yes, you will come across some people who will say "i have an oyinbo nose", many black people have different types of noses, you don't find a japanese who says he has a oyinbo nose hehe
aha, a pure american accent or is there a little nigerian flavour in there, the africans i know who are born in america their accent has no trace of african you won't even know they have direct african heritage lol

i don't know my skin type haha, it's more something like nuhu ribadu if i have to compare, you? are you brown?

dark skinned with a red-ish undertone is what you have. kinda what i expected.
exactly, Africans have all types of noses, so i don't understand why many have bought into the white man's idea of oyinbo nose, black nose, etc. many white people have pig noses, does that mean they all have "black" noses? lol. some people will not kill me sef. maybe our next generation will be more enlightened.

I have no trace of Naija in my accent. American through and through.
Naw, I'm not brown. I'm light skinned with a yellow undertone. very typical, lol

what are you doing up so late? huh? at 3:30 in the morning? lol

ok thanks, next time someone ask i will say dark skin with a redish undertone

haha true, there is not even something like a black nose, just look at malaysians and indonesians. so you grew up with african americans i can think that is the most probable way you can have an american one through and through

what am i doing up so late? i'm planning my day, just browsing and reading my book, you

What da hell?

Crude Oil:

What da hell?

hey crude oil, no intruder. this is a very very serious thread.

History is about to be made after all the North/South wahala, we are witnessing the beginning of a new Nigeria: the union of a Katsina Prince and an Imo Princess.

[b]Suggestion:[/b]I think both of you should upload new, clean, clear and your finest profile pictures, so we are clear of all that descriptions, before moving to a new chapter.

Continue!

Royal wedding?

Odunnu:

Royal wedding?

You are in the Spirit Odunnu, except that I expect theirs to be bigger than William & Kate's wedding, I also expect their story to be richer and more interesting than the of Romeo and Juliet

Lol!
Only in Naija!

Nairaland royal wedding!

cant wait for the duke and duchess of nairaland

when you say African Americans, you are referring to those whose ancestors were slaves? or? there is a such thing with an American accent through and through, although it does differ from region to region.
people from Louisiana have a distinct accent same with Texas, California, Midwest, Brooklyn, New Jersey, etc.

yes i mean the ones who don't have direct african ancestry, did you grow up with them? yes i understand there are different accents, but for me it is difficult to pick up i also hang out with alot of african americans but it was difficult for me to pick up even though they are from different states

how many times do you go to nigeria? is it anually or something, you will probably miss america if you do plan to live in nigeria permanently because you were born and raised there and i assume you have alot of your friends in america also but i guess it will be easy to also go to america once a while because you are a citizen there also

i really don't know. I wanna live and work in a lot of places. i kinda get antsy if I'm in one place for too long. i have this need to "explore" i guess.
usually once every other year for about 6-7 weeks.
I guess I can stay and work here though, but visit annually.

i actually stay in denver lol. it depends, i may consider getting some form of experience for a year or 2 and go then back, part of me wants to gain experience before going back to be honest, how is california? do you consider it the best state in america?

Nice thread.

Reminds me of Toyosi1 and N-guage . . .

Dayokanu,Be a good sport and fish out that thread,will ya 

This namfav dude, if not for the fact that you look like my cousin, I would hunted your arse all around denver. You are lucky.

ohhhhh, so maybe you aren't so bored after all. have you ever tried skiing? lol okay, so i take it that you are going back.
I LOVE IT! California's best asset is its weather and warm beaches. but will i say its the best in America? uhmmm, i guess i would have to travel to all 50 states before coming to that conclusion. but i will say its better than many states in the midwest and some of the western states like Utah, Wyoming, Idaho because those states are pretty dead, just a lot of farm people for the most part.

how many states have you been to? i was in new york and i liked it, i think it is the best to me but mind i haven't been to too many states before so maybe it will change if i visit some more states, but new york i liked it
