what ethnic group are your parents?

Ok, I will. Kind of Blue is the album you should check out.

And I really don't know, I gotta ask my parents on that one.

amaka is a loser she said she was going to sleep like an hour ago lol

well im out

a lot of nigerian hip hop music is more like afro hip hop music.
a lot of our music is mixed with pigin english aka our slang. you probably wont understand it since i cant understand some of it. lol
its really nice if you have NAIJA PRIDE, you can just feel it.
NAIJA 4 LIFE!!

listen to styl-plus they sing in yoruba, its really beautiful most of their music.
i dont know maybe ill have oyinda translate the yoruba.

they didnt expose you to nigerian culture?!?!?!
they didnt even tell you what ethnic group you are from?!?!?!

THE AMAKA:

olufunmilola mase fi mi sile lai lai (olufunmilola don't ever leave me)
duro ti mi o (stay with me)
olufunmi o

with olufunmilola being the name of the girl obviously lol

are you telling me you dont know their last names?
wait?!?!?!?
IM SO LOST!!

boy you are not a nigerian, face it
but you should try to get in connection with nigerians and learn your culture, since you dont know what tribe you are from.
SOOOOOOOOOO many tribes in Nigeria. its ridiculous.

Yes
Yes
And I know my dad has really light skin, if that helps.

3spade3:

My dad is chris and my mom is mf something.

hmm did your dad change his name? usually igbos and south easterners give their sons names like chris. a more popular english name for a yoruba will be michael etc
unless your dad gave himself that name lol
your mom. is it mfon? that sounds like a calabar-ish name.

3spade3:


And I know my dad has really light skin, if that helps.

yup. igbo


and in general, igbos are usually more likely than yorubas to lose their language and culture when they are abroad. because a lot of them speak pidgin english instead of igbo.
yorubas on the other hand. just purely yoruba we don't really speak pidgin that much.

wow! what the hell is light skin suppose to mean.
"wow that narrows it down"

OMG. they never once told you or tried to educate you about where you are from.

NA WA OO!! I DON TIRE O!

I don't. Why do you think I joined the site. Of course i want a connection.

the way you were bashing us earlier it didnt seem like you gave a rat's ass about a nigerian.

and him being light skin does not mean he is igbo.
oyinda, who fed you that bullshit?
abeg, so many tribes in nigeria have light skin.
ijaw, ibibio, ikwere, igbo ect ect
yoruba too

that really doesnt narrow it down.
omotola for example could be assumed to be igbo but she is yoruba
well actually i heard she was half igbo but idk lol


i like this song

my skin color only feeds into the stereotype of igbos lol

hmm usually the south easterners have lighter skin (and this is a fact! i lived in lagos most of my life). and igbo is the largest ethnic group there so there is a higher chance of him being one.

Well at least you got my first name right. And yea it's mfoniso or something like that. I'll look up igbo then.

what a lame ass ongoing conversation about a stranger's identity crisis
storms off

No, not really.

maybe you are kalabari or calabari or something like that.
south easterners, yeah thats true.
a ton of light skins in my family on both sides.
most of my family is light and brown skinned. hardly any really dark skin.
some but not many.


oyinda do you like this song?

I'm having a Identity crisis. Just like the guy said.

@ 3spade, mfon is more of a calabar name. another one is bassey. a lot of calabar people don't consider themselves igbo but they are from that south east igbo region and ur definitely from that region. It's best u ask ur parents to be sure though (if they know that is. but your mom should definitely know. she came to the US an age old enough to at least know her ethnic group!)
