@Easyy,

In order to be crystal clear, maybe you need to list the identities you really think Nigeirans abroad have betrayed. What stands you out as a Nigerian compared to other Nationalities? Your mentioning crack smoking seems way unfounded to me as I am yet to meet any Nigerian here that is that irresponsible. Maybe it is your neck of the woods. I will advice you introduce our local snuff to these our people so they can maintain our national heritage in diaspora.

@ Babelove,

Ah, you don waka reach here, too??

All this tok about Nigerians abroad na so so jelosi jelosi. Hao pesin wey be dokter or lawyer go begin smoke crack.

Nigerians at home are worse let me tell you. I have seen families with children unable to speak their native language. The family pretend to be like Americans or other and speak only Enlglish to their children.
We end up with little brats who don't listen to their parents and parents afraid to discipline their wards.

Now tell me who is the maradona, eroding their heritage!!!!!!!!

ventriloquising:

In the 7th century, when Africans colonised Spain and Portugal and ruled them for 600 years, the Europeans became afraid and insecure because they thought we were going wipe out their heritage. The repercussion of that is the "Black Legend", mass murder and racism we're still suffering today.

When Khoikhoi and Zulu Jews who settled in Austria began to intermarry with the germanic peoples before, during and after World War I, the Germans and Hitler were terrified at the thought of losing their heritage and when they got a chance in World War II, they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of African Jews, more than 2 million "Rhineland Bastards" whom were the result of the intermarriage between these jews with German women, and millions of Europeans who allowed themselves to be converted to jews or adopted the lifestyle of jews were shipped off as slaves to concentration camps.

So was the magnitude of the punishment we recieved for trying to influence the heritage of Europeans.

They never thought one day, we'd be at the recieving end and we'd take it smiling. It's amazing. But they did it anyway.


That maga, Seun ban me sha for no reason, so I just say make I used a friend ID let my people know say it is important to protect our heritage, but Africans have always progressed by incorporating the good parts of other people's culture into our heritage and throwing away the bad. So no shaking. All join.

PTH:

yeah, it gets dry when we have empty heads like you disrupting the flow of threads you have the misfortune of stumbling into.

I have to agree with you here. What really is the Nigerian identity? yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Itshekiri, Ijaw, or Urhobo? How many Nigerians home or abroad identify themselves FIRST by their ethnic origins and Nigerians second?
We don't even have a unifying national identity in Nigeria, every attempt to do so is jeopardised by useless government policies like Federal character designed to keep us forever in remembrance of the fact that some Nigerians are more equal than others.

We have private schools were speaking the "vernacular" is banned or frowned upon. Children are taught to speak English like American or British citizens and we blame those abroad of trading away their identities? What identities are they trading away?

It's a matter of being happy. If the Nigerian culture doesn't satisfy you, you can as well adopt another one.
This is not a matter of betraying your mother-land. haba! In this world there is something called survivor, when you are in a new land, you have to adapt to the new environment or you'll look totally isolated from everyone!

Can you please tell us what the Nigerian Culture is? Does Nigeria have a culture? Or are you trying to talk about the cultures of the various nationalities within the almagamation called Nigeria?

Various nationalities? More of the individual ethnic group. That was a mistake of mine. There is nothing like a Nigerian culture.

And by the way, you don't need to be in the US to lose your cultural heritage. The average Nigerian Artist today is busy trying to be an American, and the funny thing is that they are selling albums like mad. Maybe we should start by having Tu-face, Idris, Planteshun Boyz etc sing only juju music, fuji or highlife. That way, we can at least say that our charity began at home before going to the diaspora!

Sorry but I don't agree. We should consider it a good thing that our musicians are moving beyond Africa. Music is a means of communication so it has to necessarily adapt to the taste of the majority of the audience.
