I don't have to buy anything for the in-laws if I DON'T WANT TO. A hug and a smile is sufficient.

MTN recharge card can do for gift - nonsense and ingredient

Mrs.Chima:

Family is everything to us in Naij

How old r u Q? Like seriously

Ujujoan:

I never PROFESSED TO KNOW IT ALL. Why are you salty? If I was Nigerian, I DON'T HAVE TO give in-laws gifts IF I DON'T WANT TO.

r231:

A GIFT has NOTHING TO DO WITH FAMILY.  Seriously get off of it.  What age have to do with what I WON'T DO OR DO? 

If I WANT TO GIVE THEM A GIFT, I WILL. IF I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM A GIFT, they sure the hell won't get a gift from me. Don't expect anything, you won't be disappointed.

Mrs.Chima:

Not ready? I am already married into the family. WTF?

good luck then

PS. there is no need for the bolded part

come on now

Mrs.Chima:

I never PROFESSED TO KNOW IT ALL. Why are you salty? If I was Nigerian, I DON'T HAVE TO give in-laws gifts IF I DON'T WANT TO.

Oh Trust me, you definitely have to do. Its an Obligation.

LMAO@good luck!  Ooh, you are so funny! You need to be on stage!

Mrs.Chima:

I never PROFESSED TO KNOW IT ALL.  Why are you salty?  If I was Nigerian, I DON'T HAVE TO give in-laws gifts IF I DON'T WANT TO.

There you go again, making assumptions on what you know absolutely nothing about . .  as if you had a choice!  
Tradition is tradition here you know and we respect these things!
I know all it takes to get married in your place is a visit to www.gettingmarried.com . .  but here, we also marry our families and not the one night stand we met that give us the best head!    
If you want to look down your nose on people and their practices, then you should NOT have married a Nigerian. Cos whether you like it or not, you will collect 'gifts/bride price' on your daughters!  

I be damn! Just because I STATED that I don't have to give gifts, I am looking down on traditions. SMH.

My husband is NIGERIAN AMERICAN.

And please who made everythig complicated with your diamond rings and white wedding eh? Before we were comfortable with our igba  nkwy and ime ego untill y'all went and brought your nonsense culture for us to adopt!  

It wasn't me that created that NONSENSE you called it. I wasn't even born then!

Mrs.Chima:

It wasn't me that created that NONSENSE you called it. I wasn't even born then!

I didn't mean you personally . . I meant your race. Just like giving gifts is not based on personal preferences, but the culture has to be adhered to . . . whether one likes it or not. And if your husband was a true Nigerian, he would have told you that!

Mrs.Chima:

I be damn!  Just because I STATED that I don't have to give gifts, I am looking down on traditions.  SMH.  

My husband is NIGERIAN AMERICAN.  

Your sarcastic comments did not go unnoticed!

There are millions of Nigerians that know the traditions and culture and do not PRACTICE THEM.  So please do not make this FOREIGN VERSUS NIGERIAN bullshit.

Ujujoan:

I didn't mean you personally . .  I meant your race. Just like giving gifts is not based on personal preferences, but the culture has to be adhered to . . .  whether one likes it or not. And if your husband was a true Nigerian, he would have told you that!

Your sarcastic comments did not go unnoticed!

Who said he DIDN'T TELL ME?  My race is black and WE DID NOT CREATE THE WHITE DRESS nonsense.  My ancestors didn't adhere to what the WHITE PEOPLE DID to get married.  It was similar to what YOU GUYS DID before the nonsense exposure.

Mrs Chima
I can guarantee you that you would have danced to their tunes If you had to go marry your husband in Naij.
I'm so not traditional myself but i know my as. is going to be roasted if i had to go do the whole wedding shenanigans in naij.

Mrs.Chima:

There are millions of Nigerians that know the traditions and culture and do not PRACTICE THEM.  So please do not make this FOREIGN VERSUS NIGERIAN bullshit.  

Bullshit is what you just said!

You cannot come to Nigeria and marry a woman without adhering to the customs. The millions of Nigerians doing that are not recognized by tradition as married and if the woman dies, the corpse belongs to her family and not her husband's family!

And yes this is foreign VERSUS Nigeria!

Dont assume we myust do things your way!

Mrs.Chima:

Who said he DIDN'T TELL ME?  My race is black and WE DID NOT CREATE THE WHITE DRESS nonsense.  My ancestors didn't adhere to what the WHITE PEOPLE DID to get married.  It was similar to what YOU GUYS DID before the nonsense exposure. 

The colour of your skin does not make you any less of an American.

Again I say, don't make assumptions on things you know absolutely nothing about.

Ujujoan:

I think you preaching to the wrong American because I AM NOT INTO TRADITION BOTH AMERICAN OR NIGERIAN. I will compromise if it mean that much to my husband but I am not doing too much back bending. I am not a robot and will not treated as such.

I want you to leave here knowing that Mrs. Chima do not impose any TRADITION ON anyone nor she cares.

Ujujoan:

American is not a race. Don't make assumptions on things you know absolutely nothing about.

Don't bet blindly.

And I want you to get this into your apparently thick skull . . . . If you were Nigerian, you won't have a choice!

Mrs.Chima:

American is not a race. Don't make assumptions on things you know absolutely nothing about.

And where did I say America was a race itself? Or America does not belong to any race

Ujujoan:

And where did I say America was a race itself? Or America does not belong to any race

The same goes where did I say the color of my skin doesn't make me less of an American? I know I am American and my views has nothing to do with BEING American.

Ujujoan:

And I want you to get this into your apparently thick skull . . . . If you were Nigerian, you won't have a choice! 

I want you to get this in YOUR THICK SKULL, I do have a choice.  I don't have to follow tradition nor culture whether I was Nigerian or not.

I know you are not getting upset or testy over some gifts.  What is the REAL DEAL?   

Mrs.Chima:

The same goes where did I say the color of my skin doesn't make me less of an American?  I know I am American and my views has nothing to do with BEING American.  

'your views' are irrelevant here! You are not a Nigerian and you'll do well to remember that!    

The next time you feel the urge to look down on people's culture, you should take a deep breath and consider if anybody cares about 'your views'    

One last time, I do not need to LOOK DOWN on ANY MOFO TRADITIONS OR CULTURE.  If I don't want to ADHERE TO IT, I won't. 

If YOU REPRESENT what being Nigerian all about, I should be relieved that I am not Nigerian.  You are representing them so well.

Come back when you CAN TELL ME THE REAL REASON YOU TESTY.

^^^^ ROTFLMAO
