oyinda.: 3spade. u just marry whoever comes to u when your ready to settle down. whether nigerian or AA or whatever. don't listen to follipimply please. lol you seem to have a love for AA women and u shouldn't be forced to settle for a naija lady if u don't care for her.
LOL, well follipimply is just giving us his opinion.
I do, I do why lie about it. And yes you're right.
chiogo: lol you might be right. I've heard some say, "I'll never marry a woman who can't cook okro soup" lol no be only okro But I think it has to do with stereotypes too, most Nigerians believe American women are generally more loose compared to Nigerian women. It's kinda true though, the only difference is that most naija females who are loose are not open with their "looseness" lol. American females are.
follypimpi: Bro have all the fun u can have now,it builds up your self confidence,shag as many Akatas that u can find but when u wanna settle down aint nothin like my 9ija Ladies.Brap Brap.
LOL, hey how about all groups of women. I always wanted to date mulatto girls. I guess in about 6 or 7 years settling down will start to kick in.
follypimpi: Brof u will hop off the Horse soon once u ready to get serious,for me they r gud for fun but if u wanna settle down nothin beats our Nigerian ladies.Get yourself an Americanized 9ija women too.Variety is spice of Life But bro Akatas what you see is what u get and am talkin from life experience.
American women in general seem to wanna have fun and that's it. I guess i'm still young, but i'll try to get know one. There's about 3 at my school.
THE AMAKA: europe? HAHAHA! he wishes. that dude is an AA.
lame punk a$$, they need to close this thread and block him again. mandingo aka mandingo II aka malikom aka korokam aka kkk member aka black israelite aka whatever else other racist stuff he wants to be.
IF THIS GUY COMES BACK, EVERYONE IGNORE HIM. he will eventually get bored with himself.
Europe, you mean the africans northern light? Nope, I don't have to go to europe. I'm in america trying earn a living. Now AMAKA aren't you in america?
THE AMAKA: 3spade shut the hell up. as far as im concerned americans (most) seem to take EVERYTHING for granted. they are always whining and complaining over baby shit.
and yes you would rather be around americans because you are JUST LIKE THEM.
you are not having an identity crisis i think you are pretty sure who you are and who you want to be and how you want to be looked at. you even said you denied your Nigerian heritage just to save your face.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! RED FLAG!!!!!!!!!!! FAKE A$$. you aint no nigerian and never will be.
you would be one of the first jackassses to deny that you are nigerian to save your face and look good for americans. dude you are lost and i think you missed the AA forum somewhere else. PLEASE, BE GONE! you have only stirred up trouble and have made people like me irritated with your bullshit
you came here yesterday to uplift AA and talk about them in the best way possible while malikom was downing nigerians and you just said nothing. what does that tell me? you are VERY MUCH AWARE with who you identify with. im sorry but this is not the place for you, PLEASE LEAVE!!
LOL, I'm nigerian by blood. I tell you this, I'm going to try to find another african forum.
THE AMAKA: America is NOT the greastest country on earth. yeah they have constant flow of water, electricity, ect but as far as the people, na wa oo! id rather be around Nigerians.
most americans are jack ass self centered idiots. ask 3spade, hell tell you.
Even though some are, I'd rather be around them. 3spade3 can also say why aren't you in nigeria?
oyinda.: lol depends on where u are. if your in a very liberal setting, some americans are not proud to be american and always claim some european countries where their grandfather or so is from. lol but it depends on the person though. and how patriotic you are
THE AMAKA: you what? HELL NAW!! now i know you are going to be fake and flip flop back and forth and be nigerian when you want. nu uh. . . you gone be kattin. being nigerian when you wannabe and when you dont want to be. hmmmm . . . I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!! UGH!! and the reason why AA's treated you like one of them and had no problem with you is because you have an english name. had you had a nigerian name they would be calling you names. like they did me. they were cool with me until they found out i was nigerian and then the insults came down like rain. but fuk all those crack head non knowing their father dikheads!!
okay maybe it is edo. lol
this WHOLE TIME i thought zeal was yoruba, he is an igbo
Again, I told them I was nigerian and had no problems. The one's I was raised around didn't do that sort of thing.
oyinda.: lol i would never disown my country no matter the garbage flying about. would u disown US if u were in a foreign country and someone said bad about it?
Nope. WHY. If i'm not mistaken is it not the greatest nation on earth? Ask AMAKA, she'll tell you.
THE AMAKA: awwww you are having an identity crisis. so with ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS swarming in the media about Nigeria, i bet you would be the first person to disown your Nigerian heritage to save your face, huh?
with all the bad things about nigeria i still say NAIJA 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not going to lie to you. Yea, I did once or twice.
THE AMAKA: 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.: @ 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 your definitely from that region. It's best u ask your 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!)
THE AMAKA: 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
oyinda.: 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.
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.
Well at least you got my first name right. And yea it's mfoniso or something like that. I'll look up igbo then.
THE AMAKA: 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. thanks! lovely.
I don't. Why do you think I joined the site. Of course i want a connection.
THE AMAKA: they gave you an english name?!?!?! they didnt expose you to nigerian culture?!?!?! they didnt even tell you what ethnic group you are from?!?!?!
Yes Yes And I know my dad has really light skin, if that helps.
THE AMAKA: you dont even know your ethnic group?!?!?!?!?! do you know any ethnic groups in Nigeria besides the three major ethnic groups? did your parents give you an english name? lol and where the hell did you come from? LOL HAHAHA i cant stop laughing!
No and Yes.
oyinda.: u mean u don't know your parent's ethnic group!!!?? i actually thought u were refering to nigerian music
oyinda.: what age did they come to the US? if you have to ask your parents for them to tell you, chances are they don't know!! u can tell by what records they listen to in their cars or at home?
Well my dad said around 9 or 10 and my mom at 14. And they listen to everything.
