A US freelance writer /journalist who is a half-Nigerian, Imade Nibokun went on a full online rant in talking about Nigerian men who blame her for not knowing her Nigerian father whom she said abandoned her...She also took a swipe at Nigerian fathers whom she called crappy. She took to her twitter handle to make her mind known. See below;

You need to change your name so you can fully cut yourself from being a Nigerian.
I was born in London with a wonderful Nigerian father no issues. If your father bailed on you it doesn't mean that all Nigerian men are the same.
In America slot of black kids have no idea who their fathers are does that mean that all African American men are like that?
I think you should face the future and stop focusing on an event in the past that you have no power to change.
You are a Nigerian by blood so love us a little more.

I know it can be crasy, but you ain't the only person who has such a father, so you saying Nigerian Father's are crappy, Hmmmm well its capital lie, there are people who has actually been through worse, yet they made their way out without the Insult On Nigerian Fathers... Indeed , this shows you have been wrongly brainwashed, and one more thing You'll always remain Blackkkkkkkkkk... Face your life when he hears your success story he'll look for you, not calling him crappy, cos it clearly shows to me that you are crappy and negative... #Peace#

Who be this "manyan kwayan idanu"
Na only Nigeria man dey abandon pikin? So what do you have to say about others that do same.

You should find out what your mother did to deserve such treatment before ranting though abandoning a child is not the best
It may be very difficult for you to bear but you should live above your hate and do your best to reconcile with him

this world is bigger than how u see it sis, you are even lucky to have a good life, go see many abandoned kids in the slums

Don't be stupid, Growing up without a father affects a child, especially girls. Don't blame the girl. blame the father that abandoned her.

She has every right to feel this way. Its better to be born an orphan than deal with the psychological baggage of abandonment by your own flesh and blood.

This lady is heart broken however decided to speak in negativity. Ours is to encourage, console and counsel her to be positive in her perceptions about Nigerian fathers. Is painful to grow without the guidance of a father. Let us bear with her. Insults will only increase her sadness and grudges.

That's your culture there in the US. It doesn't have to be Nigerian dad before a kid is abandoned, good number of US dads at some point in their lives have participated in that line. So sweetheart, take heart make sure you marry a non US breed husband to avoid your kids being abandoned like you.

Don't blame or generalise Nigerian men.
Simply put your father must have had his reasons for rejecting your sorry ass.
Secondly, may b ru mum was just a fling that sort of thing and u were the result.
So girl move on with ur life.

Does she actually think that only Nigerian men abandon their kids? lipsrsealed
And why doesn't her mother know where her father is from? undecided
It is easy to pass a judgement without seeing the full picture but it is impossible to find peace this way.

She is confuse, she started her rant with 'Nigeria middle age men' and ended it with 'old Nigeria men'

She better go look for her dad, at least to hear his side of the story...it might be very different from the one-sided story, she have been told all these years.

So she indirectly labelled naij men cab drivers lol.

You can't blame her cos once you get to New York, you can't miss them. Naij cab drivers run NYC. Salute.

Ugly geh

mmtscheww

Don't blame her. A lot of naij men are deadbeat dads. I've got a lot of friends like that. One of my childhood who's half-Nigerian and half-Guinean still lament all the time cos it's like his dad just never wanted nothing to do with him and he has only seen his dad a few times in his life, despite the fact that the man is rich. The only folks he rates are his two late paternal grandparents who used to ring him all the time when they were alive and they'd visit him a couple of times from naij.

Even with my ex, her dad was never really in her life. Naij men just need be better dads, especially Yoruba men. You can't just make babies and abandon them regardless of how you feel about the mum. Ya seed is ya seed and ya responsibility - you can't run away from that.

You need to be in their shoes to understand how they feel.

From her name, it is possible and most likely her father is from Ijesha land and most probably Ibokun area or any other Ijesha area of the Yorubas.

having said that, she needs to go change her name ASAP if she's not proud of it as it gives her out as Nigerian already!.

It is also possible, her father is not to blame. we can not say for sure until we hear the other side of the story anyway!.

Well there is just one group of nigerian men who are champions at laying seeds everywhere and forget who or where their children are. And then she mention cab drivers. Well Nigerians in diaspora already have a clue who such men are.

I dont blame the girl I blame the old men who poke their nose in her life when chances are that they are themselves 70% guilty of what she is angry about
