I prefer a nigerian who was brought up abroad most of the time because they do not go by the 'nigerian factor' but know about our nation and what is going on in the country.

Neitheri find both with the same qualities most often.  The compatibility factor is the cinch.

I would prefer one that has both orientations.  However, I'm likely to choose one that was completely raised here over one that was completely raised o'er there, being the Certified Village Boi that I am. Grin  Nevertheless, like iice said, compatibility would be the crucial factor, and one may never know from what quarters it might come with such disarming tenacity.

It really doesn't matter to me.

The only thing is, a woman raised at home (or that has atleast lived there before) is more likely to embrace our culture better, and I do cherish our culture.

But a lady can be raised at home and still be completely incompatible with me on all possible realms.

So, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.

I definitely want a guy with a bit of both, and it doesn't matter which is more. I just want someone that has been exposed to other ideas and might think similarly than I do. But I could marry a guy that was born and raised in Nigeria, as long as he doesn't have some crazy ways of thinking.

I don't think it matters, so long as she still maintains her nigerian identity and speaks yoruba!

i don't think it matters too as long as the person still had strong ties to Nigeria and don't try to be fake

Speaking Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba is a pre-requisite. Also she must possess a ph.D and be from back home  Grin.

Jos, you have too many prerequisites.
I used to say she must be a medic too like my mum. i since dropped that criteria.
Nigerians who have lost all sense of identity with the toils of Africa are probably worse racists than white americans themselves.

@ jos, i thot that was explanatory enough. Plenty of "Nigerians" here who look down on fellow Nigerian-born compatriots as having come from the jungle.

I tell them my house is a tree house and i don't wear clothes!
The funniest thing is when the really ugly ones tell me they can tell how africans look like. Like a skinny one i met in Dec who claims she could tell i was African because of a freak visit to Kenya!
On a good day my ex who has never been inside an aircraft before is 100x better!
