Glamrock: Hello Nairaland! My name is Janae' I'm a 25 year old female from Pennsylvania state USA! I'm new here wanting to learn about my african culture that I was robbed of due to my ancestors being taken from their homeland on slave ships. I will be doing a DNA test soon to find our what country I came from but I believe I am Nigerian! It's so much I want to learn and know about my identity but I'm lost because I don't know. Just here to express my feelings with you all. Hoping to gain cultural information and to just connect with people from the west coast of Africa where my ancestors were STOLEN from! Some of you may share my bloodline! It's so sad I can't trace my ancestors or family!

philfearon: If to say na guy na,Na so so abuses and blah blah blah blah blah go just de fly everywhere...Abuses like:
"So na today u remember say u be African? Smh!."
..
"End time things"...
"You miss road?"..
"Ancestral trace ko,culture ni".....

Glamrock:

E-Engineer:

let me help you my sister
it means " if it was a guy that posted, insults would have been flying here and there, insults like : ' is it today u remembered that u are african right?'
' end time things'
' did u miss road?'
' ancestral tracing or culture, what a joke'

Haha!! Wow Sort of rude, we have a right to know our culture and heritage just as anyone else. It's not our fault we were put in this situation. For your help I thank you

god_of_music: Igbos were mostly taken to the Carribean,America and Europe. . . Israel didn't buy slaves.
And you must know that the Igbos were known to be homesick. . . They don't go diasporea without feeling that they are not complete but they adopt any culture easliy. The merchants those days loved to steal or buy them because they are usually light skinned or brown and sometimes dark black.

Igbos slaves were known to commit suicide or jump into the Atlantic believing in the Igbo saying that says 'when a man dies outside. He comes back to his home and family in another form'
so they commit suicide and even fight the merchants just to go back home because of the 'hunger for Igbo land' in their blood!

Another example is Oludah Equaino an igbo slave brought to Europe through a mighty slave ship. He adopted the European life style real quick and he was even the first African slave to be able to write a book. But still he remembered he was Igbo and always identified himself as one till his death.


My hand oo!
