Do You Celebrate Indepence Day Abroad? by Filashade(f): 11:27am On Aug 05, 2015 |
I just wanted to find out if Nigerians or (half Nigerians) celebrate Independence day abroad? I still do but its now seen as "Show off" by my white colleagues over here. I was talking with one of my Jamaican colleagues about Jamaican Independence tomorrow and was told that no one really celebrate it anymore but they dont want people thinking they are trying to show off their country in any way which will make people treat them differently. I am confused because it seems the people who i meet nowadays are ashamed of their identity. For e.g someone who has lived in the uk for 7 years says he is British not Nigerian even though he was born in Naija and lived there almost his entire life? He even says he cant stand the Nigerian culture? It is only only him so many people especially the younger generation of Nigerian/Jamaica Ehnnn mi i no understand that one oo Y do people do that? Any responses will be appreciated!!! |

@ Filashade, do not ever stop, okay? Even if one lived in the western world for a hundred years, and blocked all people they knew from the "backwards place"..... ....even if they tore their passports....even if they got a room in Buckingham Palace and the White House at the same time.....no matter how much the person may curse their homeland, even if they knew how to sing the star -spangled banner and God save the queen backwards ...etc... They would always be from Africa.....the whites they seek to please and be transformed into, would always, always wish they were far from them.... They at times prefer lions to them...true My whole point is, I feel desperately sorry for such people Tragic, really |

you said you're half Jamaican, so why are you presenting your thread as if you just happened to come across Jamaica? |
