The only thing that shows me as a nigerian right now is my international passport. Nothing else. In my thinking, all my deeds, sayings, way of life, education, etc, I am an Igbo Biafran. A proud one. So my question is who amongst you is a nigerian? Because all I see in this forum are people who like me are hell bent on defending their ethnic regions. Where is this nigerianness? What is a Nigerian? |

My Village is on the Nigerian map. I guess that makes me a Nigerian. |

poster since you're igbo and biafran, i think you should just ask questions which are relevant to[b] you [/b] personally. eg what makes you igbo, and what makes you a biafran. leave nigeria matter since you say you dont identify with it. just my opinion. |

Nigeria makes me a Nigerian |

So if I understand all of you, you are a nigerian because of a geographical coincidence? So like me nothing else makes you a nigerian? |

tpia@: That is a good question. I am sure he can answer it. An American knows why he sees himself as an American. He believes in American ideals based on the Consititution. He believes in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. So what makes you a Nigerian? |

This is actually a very serious issue. I think the very minute things we refuse to into consideration also make up what we call Nigerian. The reason Nigeria is where it is today is simply because there's no Nigerian living within it 1 Like |
