I am definitely into African ethnic groups marrying other African ethnic groups (For example: Hausa and Igbo or Fulani and Mande).

anonymous6:

Those populations exist but some Nigerians are unaware of it, which surprises me

Bride: Hausa mom & Igbo father
Groom: Yoruba

Fulaman198:

Oh I know there are members of this forum who are of those mixtures. Like one I met today (sambos994) who is half Hausa, and half Igbo. It surprises me too, but being a Fulani I'm aware of this, as Fulani are the ones who mix the most with other ethnic groups found in Africa (like in Nigeria where Fulani have mixed with Hausa, Touareg, Yoruba, Zarma/Dendi, etc. etc.)

Shollypopz: ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooohh God!!!
Not these African Americans again!!

@ Thread: the truth is they never liked Africa in the first place. They try to, but they can't help the "they are poor and inferior to us" feeling that has been instilled in them through media, their slave master(lol),.....

And those that like Africans too much are the same as those that dislike us - Condescending!!!

Mrs.Chima:



Awww Naijarican....you are a cutey. I just looked at your profile and you are definitely not an Albino.

They just mad cos you look good and many of them bleeped me up when they said they want a White woman/man so their kids don't take after them.

What the hell That's a shame.

Thank you hon . Some of these folks actually said they want to get with somebody white so their kids wont take after them Okay... that sh1t right there is the epitome of self hate. Black people are the most beautiful people God graced upon this earth... They betta recognize!!!

Ileke-IdI:


I love your hair sha. Natural?

naijarican: LOL, I'm absolutely amused at how yall talk about hausa/yoruba mix, igbo/fulani mix. this mix/that mix... At the end of the day yall all black so it doesn't matter. To me it's like saying a black person from California marrying another black person from Chicago... At the end of the day WE BLACK!!! SMH

tpia@:


miriam babangida had a hausa mother and asaba father.

where is this lady's mum from? I'm guessing she might be middle belt-ish.

Ileke-IdI:


LOL @ Yoruba man putting the "wa" in wazobia. lmao.

Fulaman198:

It's not about that (skin colour it is), it is about tradition and customs.

it's different for like say a Hausa to marry a Yoruba for example than say a Hausa marrying a black American. Even though we are all black, the Yoruba is still an African and has been immersed in that culture her entire life. The two cultures are more akin and similar to each other than Hausa and black American culture.

Black American culture in itself is a sub-culture of the much larger American culture. Yes, we are aware that blacks and whites in America practice "slightly" different cultures, but at the end of the day they're both American. Most Nigerians (Africans in general) just view Americans the same whether they are "white, black, Asian American or Hispanic", they are all Americans still.

But why you so bitter though Has every American personally done something to you? If we never liked Africa in the first place as you say, why are many of trying to reconnect with our roots, despite some of you making it futile?? You trippin'!

anonymous6:

To be honest, no offense but most african americans dont care for Africa only a few like Oprah & you for example. Shollypopz has a point because I have witnessed this many times, it doesnt bother me but it is the thruth

naijarican:


Honestly, I can't even say that you're wrong, because I know how some black americans regard Africans, and it is not cool. Some of yall have a tendancy to want to lump us all together and that isn't fair either. There are alot of us who have love for the continent that essentially birthed us all, but the ignorant few give all of us a bad rep.

naijarican:

I've also seen many Africans who are my complexion or even lighter, they just happen to be more northern African. The few folks that I have been called that by are West African mostly naija. And I gather they call me that because my complexion is quite a bit lighter than the average Nigerian.

anonymous6:



Well I wont make africans look perfect because they arent but to a extent you have some points, based on how you are talking to me now lets me know you are a good person but sadly many africans dont expereince that. I know some nigerians(educated & educated) that want nothing to do with african americans due to their expereinces and they spread their expereinces back home to their family and etc, which is justifiable. When it comes to me I have had bad and good expereinces from both african americans and white americans. So I am nuetral with both communities.

ezotik:


lol, at the typical african-american negro always trying to place themselves where they dont belong. northern africa ke? why not southern africa? they prolly called oyibo not because of ur skin color but because of ur behaviour same way they would call fellow nigerians who were raised in the US oyibo due to their behaviour. and whoever called u albino must be drunk.

naijarican:


Quiet as it's kept, black americans were taught to despise anything african. Through the introduction and the prominence of eurocentric values, some black americans have surrendered their own beauty in favor of european beauty, and the same thing has happened in African countries due to colonialism. So both groups have some reconditioning that needs to take place. Once we recognize our God given beauty, and our original customs and cultures we may be able to dismiss some of this animosity we have towards each other. It goes both ways.

anonymous6:

Well if you mean bleaching cream in Africa I would agree that that was the negative result of colonization in africa just like Asia but besides that I would disagree when it comes to european favor ment in Africa. It is not like that in Nigeria but with african americans I agree with you but it was inenvitable due to the fact that they had live and be a part of a country that is white dominated

naijarican:

I'm speaking in terms of bleaching cream, hair weaves, and the sorts. I see a whole heap of women from africa with faded out skin looking all gray, and weaves or some 'other' folks textured hair entwined in their own. We need to be reconditioned to embrace what is naturally ours.

See, this is the condescension I'm speaking of. This is the very sh1t that keeps us at each others throat. You know what though... You ain't finta worry me today fool. Step yo black a55 to the side and let grown folks continue to talk...

Mrs.Chima:


Dead people hair....buhhahhhahahaa

Fulaman198:

To each their own, some Africans may prefer it, but for some Africans it is not for them.

I am definitely into African ethnic groups marrying other African ethnic groups (For example: Hausa and Igbo or Fulani and Mande). The culture difference isn't as wide as that of Black American/African.

Mrs.Chima:


Instead of acting like those ignant arse Americans....dont act like an ignant arse African and intriduce it to them. Have it ever cross your mind that they may have tried to learn but were shooed away?

No...it hasnt....too busy thinking everyone ignant becaise you may be...
