Hello Nairalanders,

My name is Feel De Music, and this is my very first post on Nairaland! Yaaay!!!! I hope I'm posting in the right section (LOL)!

Unfortunately, I have really not had time to make a post on here even though my account was created some time ago, but now I finally have some time to sit down and post my intro!

I have been very interested in African cultures and countries lately, specifically Nigeria and its many peoples, languages, and cultures. Here on Nairaland, my aim is simply to ask questions about these sorts of things and discuss them along with people from Nigeria.

Anyway, I’m happy to finally be here and to be in a community of so many people who I admire! Let's go!

I know, I just felt like I had to creat an introduction just 'cause it seemed propper I guess.

Sorry, I unfortunately don't speak pidgin! LOL I'm American... although I'd love to learn it. Of course I'm not forcing you to not speak it, do whatever you'd like.

You can learn it if you want to, it is very easy.

Welcome to Nairaland

Thanks so much Tallesty! I'm trying to learn pidgin as I browse here.. some of it is easy to understand but not all of it! (LOL) I also listen to a bunch of afrobeats stuff so sometimes I try and understand it from hearing that.

Also, do any of you guys know how to receive notifications to let you know when new posts are added to your topic? I want to be able to keep up without missing five or six of them in a row! haha

To learn it, you must force yourself to communicate with it, especially on forums like this. You know, there's English and there's error, the error is where pidgin English starts. Don't feel shy if you're not getting it right, nobody is a pidgin expert. It is a lot like a shortcut.

Yeah, I get it. I know I'll learn it eventually! (LOL)

You can ask the questions that you wish to ask

Well, sure! I'm not afraid of asking questions.

Speaking of which, do you know how I can somehow turn on notifications or something to where Nairaland emails me or something when a new post gets added to this thread?

You can only see the notification on the followed topic when you login to your account. Nairaland currently doesn't send email or sms notifications to users when a comment is added on a followed topic.


Alternatively you can download the nairaland app.

Oh, ok, I see. Well, that's too bad. Maybe there can be just this huge mass thread protesting that notifications must be sent to email/text message for everyone!

Can I ask from what ethnic group you are?

Hey FeelDeMusic,

Welcome to Nairaland. I'm Ethiopian and if you have any question concerning my country during your stay here, ask me.

Cheers!

Awww, thank you so much Hati! I'll keep that in mind if I ever have any questions about Ethiopia!
