Fulaman198:


Can't believe I missed this before....

Are you sure you are Nigerian?

In Nigeria we have indigenous Arabs known referred to as Shu'a or Shuwa in Hausa, but they are really known as Baggara:

Do these ladies and gents look white to you?

Wulfruna:


This is interesting. I didn't know Shuwa Arabs were this dark-skinned. I've seen some pictures in the past of whole families from Borno who were light-skinned, with all the features Nigerians like to associate with being mixed race. I thought those families were Shuwa.

Fulaman198:


You do realise you were raised by an African woman though right?

You are free to go with whomever you want, but you should never and I mean absolutely never put any other woman above African women on a pedestal.

I understand that you live in the Western world so it's hard to find a good nice African woman.

It's good to have that cultural pride. I most certainly can't blame the women on this one. It is just my opinion but I can't being raised in a stern Fulani manner pursue women of a far different background and neglect my Fulani Angels or other African lady angels.

It hurts a woman emotionally when they see a potential mate going out with something else that doesn't resemble them.

Well your not talking about the usa ot country with a mixed population. Its mainly african people thT feel thT their men should be with their own kind. You have to consider thT.
The women feel as youre losong touch eith yout identity culturally.....
Though your perspective is not the women youre around might share the same ideas.....

aim5:


I doubt most African men would venture out interracially. Only those who are living or influenced by Western culture would. If I do get involved on a intimate level with a woman, she's gotta be African at least. Nothing beats the various gorgeous shades of brown, the thick bodies, the fierceness, and that sensual aura that black woman have.

fightforchange1:



Well said....
Unless an african is living abroad in a place thT
has a multicultural population how would those men have access to finding those women wothout the worldwide web....i agree with what you werr saying....

MrsPhyno:
Lol cleats.... not true. The only thing I can agree with is that black babes (in general, and this includes AA and Caribbeans', esp in the US) don't always like black man + white woman couples especially if the black guy is rich/famous. For obvious reasons.

Other than that on like a normal level, I think black dudes get more pissed off than black babes. For example if you see a hot African girl with a white boy u may feel somehow but if i see u with one fine oyinbo gal I go jus dey smile dey chill

So I disagree o

EnlightenedSoul:

You spoke the truth, MrsPhyno. If anything, when it comes down to it, its the rich Black man who puts the White woman on a pedestal. They've made the White trophy wife a status symbol, and thus most Black men of worth (monetarily) end up transferring wealth anyhow.
In the real world and in everyday life IME, even the Black guy who dates out almost exclusively will have the audacity to question a woman on why she's dating out (white guys etc), and with an aire of entitlement to boot!

MrsPhyno:

exactly, especially ur villagers, ur mother, etc. but this is mostly at the marriage stage i guess (so not my problem yet )


yeah exactly. very accurate madam. That's why I told Yansh that it's not an African babe thing, its a black girl thing. Cause most of all these 'balling' black guys want their white trophy wife/GF.
And I'm not complaining, more power to them and their white gals

But the question is the last bit. Why does it freak them when a hot black girl is dating a white dude.... SMH sha
Entitlement is (most) black guys middle names m'dear.... I don't know who to blame for that, society, the mothers, the boys themselves?

aim5:


They're too busy sampling the beautiful African women in their localities

macof:


I once met this girl, very dark skinned with one pin on the nose
She said she was Arab and I was like: come again

Fulaman198 where are these people found in nigeria?

Wulfruna:


LOL. There are actually lots of them. Especially in Sudan and even in S. Arabia. The Shuwa that I've seen their pictures however all looked very light-skinned...which is why Fulaman198's revelation surprised me a little.

In any case, Arab identity has become largely an issue of language and culture, and not really about race.

MrsPhyno:

*DISCLAIMER* Not for me ooooo I'm not like that and could care less about these things personally

But I agree with ur commentary. As far as the typical psychology of most women is concerned.

I can never feel somehow, when I have too much P****s at my disposal

I know there's such a people as Shuwa Arabs but I never imagined they were fully settled in nigeria.

I'm sure that your husband is very happy with you

MrsPhyno:

Lol I'm not married nah Do I seem that old/wise

Don't you think I would have to be insane to be married and still write 'Mrs' Phyno? lol that would be an insult to the husband nah .....

I hope he will be very happy with me too

Wulfruna:


Oh yes, they are. In the northeastern corner of Nigeria. They are also found in Chad and a few other countries. Like the traditional Fulani groups, they are a pastoral people. I think their better-known name is Baggara.

Fulaman198:


The Baggara/Shuwa are Bedouin Arabs and thus are also nomads. So whilst they have been in Nigeria for a long time, they are always on the move between Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad and Sudan.

macof:


I thought so

But this girl is fully settled in Lagos, goes to school and all like a normal lagos resident. ..she didn't seem like a member of a nomadic tribe
Imagine my surprise at her claim of being Arab
