3rd Generation Nigerians Abroad by WarriorX1: 11:51pm On Jul 24, 2012 |
What are you doing so that your sons and daughters abroad preserve our culture and tradition..... On the 8th of July 2012, the Nigerian basketball team put their names in the record books as they qualified for the Olympic basketball event for the first time in their history. In addition, with that level of success comes with it a level of criticism. In the past weeks, critics have labelled the Nigerian team as “second rate Americans “ “Americans playing for Nigeria” and even SB Nation editor Tom Ziller wrote the following “Nigeria is a part of the wave of teams who have heavily recruited NCAA and NBA players with ties to the nation. Instead of focusing on homegrown talents, Nigeria and other nations have "recruited" players who never lived in the country or played in their youth teams in international competition”. Even more disheartening is the fact that a minority of Nigerians have also criticized the team stating that majority of the players in the current squad do not speak any Nigerian language, have never been to the country, do not eat the food, and are only Nigerian by name. http://nigerian-basketball..co.uk/2012/07/definition-of-nigerian-definition-of.html |

this kind of thread makes a bit of sense compared to most of the other [b]bad belle [/b]or irrelevant ones one often sees in the section. |

most second and third generation immigrants, (or the children of first generation immigrants) find it a bit hard adapting to the various cultures they've been raised in. there's a disconnect between both cultures (the home country and the host country). third generation might have it socially easier in some way because they wouldnt be under the same pressure and might find it easier to adapt and fit in to wherever they are. though by that time they'd probably be "lost" to the original homeland sha. anyway, whatever. |

Warrior X: What are you doing so that your sons and daughters abroad preserve our culture and tradition..... Your article raises some good points but to me it is based on how they are raised, and etc. However to be honest there are no 3rd generation Nigerians technically, it is either the first or second generation assimilates back with Nigerians or assimilate in America. For example I know many first generation yoruba females(some raised in the culture) who married yoruba men born in Nigeria either living in Nigeria or western world, so their kids will be semi 1st generation. |
