Nigerian Kids Born In The US Going Back To Nigeria

that happened to my friend.  if you have earings on or your hair is in braids, it is very likely to happen.
My cousins don't get embarrased, they could switch accents so fast!

I didn't really have that experience. When I talkedof course they can tell. But as long as you don't go there stuck up or anything you'll be fine. My cousins didn't try to talk like usthey tried to get us to talk like them  I don't know if we really had people starting at usbut we did get suitors! haha 

@seun, the Nigerian secondary school system with all that corruption is way disciplined, better in terms of theory, and advanced intelligence than most countries including the US. The US elementary and university schools are better especially their universities because of their extensive research, lack of cultism and praticiality.
 And if the person wasn't born in Naija, it will be an advantage for the child to connect with the country, the people, and have a diverse mentality if the kid attends his/her high school in Nigeria because if u come after college u can't feel connected to the place and the society and every good businessman knows that such traits are bad for business excerpt the person decides to see naija as another place where they are not connected to. If the person decides that route then they have to have a lot of cash and can't run for public office and all kinds of barriers.
 I know Nigeria is bad now but that doesn't mean that people who have their kids outside Nigeria shouldn't get them connected to their father's land just because they feel comfortable now. Is better in my view that the kid be integrated into the society and when he/she sees the society they can either feel obliged or not to assist in their own small way in helping the country. People should be careful before they breed another lost generation  this century just because things are going their way now, because it could back fire big Time.

i know some naija guys that live abroad, these guys attended secondary school in naija but supposedly are so accustomed to the way things are run abroad they don't even want to think of going to naija for even a week. everytime you bring up topic about naija or going home, they get really upset. what a shame!! i can't even imagine how the 1's that were not born or raised in naija would fell/./

not really your speech but even da way u look, oh, u look so fresh, i made a mistake i said I wanted WATERMELON, cheiii, come and see eye and plz can u repeat it again, lol,  Naija is fun

well,  welcome to the club i guess. i will never forget my first time coming to nija. it was so hard for me to cope.the beggars and hawkers on the road really scared me .when i started going to my secondary school i can remember crying everyday after school. they even made me repeat a class for starting school late. it was real depressing. i can't remember how many times i cursed my parents for making me come here,but that was 3 and a half years ago and i got over it i'm glad i came. the experience has been amazing and i'm going back to st.louis after i graduate next year. peace

Big Mistake and Disgrace as well, Correct Yawn, opata no be small.

yeah I could so relate to that.
I went to Nigeria when I was eight.
As soon as I got there, they all just looked at me kind of funny or whatever.
Then they would all kind of mock me in a weird way and they would talk about how I did my hair and the clothes I would wear and how I sounded funny.
But we were only supposed to stay there over the summer, but we ended up staying for six months and me and my mom came back just in time for Christmas.
Anyways, the whole time that I stayed there, I kind of adopted their customs and ways of doin things so when I had came back to the US I kind of had to readjust to everything back here and also explain why I had started to school here in the States like four months late.
Just being there had opened my eyes to a whole nother side of my ethnic background.
But just thinking about the whole thing about my family over there kind of saracastically making fun of the way I said things or the way I acted, it kind of makes me laugh!
But it was then that I realized that I'm not just an Amercian, but I'm also of Nigerian descent, so therefore that makes me a Nigerian.

I was born and raised in Nigeria for the most part but when I went home to visit in 2002 after I had been here only 8 years I wanted to go for a ride with an uncle of mine just to do some site seeing and see if I could remember anything from when I lived in Nigeria. He told me that he had to stop at the market and I could not follow him because I looked American. They were afraid that theives would follow us back home. Na wa.
