@manwhore69

 Haha nice one

Oh you think it's funny, just wait till daddy slap you in the mouth then I'll see if you still laughing

@Topic

It is not EZ to live the THUG LIFE. I am all for them to do their thing, just do not kill people. Nigerian Boyz in Nigeria try very hard to be Gangsters too, even more than those here in the US. Nigerian rappers and artist all try to copy the US trends. You Nigerians in country, need to remove log in your eyes before judging the 1% here.

@Joftech

Cult Boys in our tertiary institutions carry guns, maybe not UZIS and AK'S. But that is just an economic thing. If they can afford those weapons i am sure they will carry it freely.They might not sell crack, but they are doing a lot of illegal things and getting away Scott free.

this 4 opemogaji. i could care less if u crip or blood, but u are just encouraging my idea that nigerians guys are trying to b gangstas. that aint cute. gangstas spend so much time learning bout d streets, when dey could use that time up in them books. ya feel me???

Really from exsperience ladyj is right because where i used 2 go 2 school i knew many naija boys like that and da american boys used 2 like them 2 b that way but me a naija girl knowing some of them before even arriving in the US think that they should be themselves but at times i understand peer pressure.

I disagree on that one! Even the ones in Nigeria are worse, they want to be among. they want to emulate what they see in the videos so they want to be something as like that, they are even more annoying than the ones abroad!!

Actually nigerian govt made us that way.There is so much insecurity in ngr thats why u see guys identifying wit cult groups.A brother tld me he will join one so he cld get a clique,nobody wants to be intimidated,the govt is already made of gangs when you are made to go tru fetish acts before u can take up a post in ngr.Wats more worse than that.Are our leaders not suppose to set good examples.

Nigerian guys in America trying so hard to be gangsta = abeg, leave them alone, they are just wannabees,

worse, the ones here in Nigeria. You see, with the level of sunshine and heat here, imagine someone, around 2pm wearing this an oversized t-shirt, low-waste level baggy jeans which he has to hold with his hands at the front, timbaland boots, and then a half zipped-up heavy jacket(like the one worn during snow season, a headband, and a dog-chain on his neck.

they may be around two guys dressed that way, and walking as if their hips were dislocated. they might be talking together and then they are gyrating as if their hands want to break into two. worse, suppose they had their own car, we would have said, o boy, this guys are hot o, but they poor boys are still taking okada.

I just smile and wonder how the devil could be punishing some people. Their role models are hiphop starts and the european and american ganstas,and those kind of clothing are not fit for this our kind of weather, but my bobos here will still wear it regardless of the personal discomfort, as long as they wannabe

True Story - Niggas act like that because they want to be hard but ain't all of that
Tupac inspired Dudes bout the Thug Life sh*t but I tell You "Real Niggaz do Real Thangs"
  So If Nigerians dress like Gangsta , He might not be actin' it's what he does that
     Makes him like that, I'm just like that and I swear I ain't actin' sh*t because thats
          What I do, But wit ma Family I'm just like the same dude they Know

Nah , They aren't wannabees please
The Hood made them like that

You steal, Rob, Sell Crack gat street Credibility

  Then You're Gangsta

I think that Nigerians who try to act like these akata gangsters really shouldn't.  First of all, we don't have the same history as them, so we really have no excuse to act like an ignorant, incompetent, immature criminal.  After all your relatives have suffered to bring either you, your parents, or other relatives here to America, you'd rather throw all of that away to act like a menace to society.  We should be acting like other immigrants who come to this country, succeed in education, and establish ourselves enough to contribute something back home.  YOU ARE NOT AKATA, so drop it. 

Btw, I'm NBA (Nigerian born in America) in medical school.
