 Culture › Re: How Do You Raise Your Kids As Nigerians When Residing Abroad? by anonymous6(f): 3:54pm On Dec 26, 2012 |
[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]give your children tribal marks and initiate them into a cult. then they will understand.[/quote]That is unnecessary, my parents are Nigerian and born and raised me and my siblings in the Nigerian yoruba culture in America without tribal marks and we understand the language, foods and etc and have been to Nigeria many times. It is a 24/7 effort on the parents especially when the kids are young to raise your kids Nigerians once that effort is not there it becomes difficult |

| Culture › Re: Why Do Nigerians Count Their Money At ATM? by anonymous6(f): 4:48pm On Dec 17, 2012*. Modified: 7:35pm On Dec 17, 2012 |
Rapmoney: I have observed that Nigerians, including the highly educated, count their money in front of the ATM whenever they go to withdraw. Is it possible for the ATM to issue a customer an amount that is below what they requested? I believe this act or practice comes from the fact that we no longer trust one another talk more of our institutions. Corruption and fraud have been institutionalized in our everyday life. People have this lack of trust in the banks that the marchines might short-pay them even when it is clear that the marchines are programmed!!!You answered the question, Nigerians don't trust anybody with their money, and that includes banks to a extent because of the reasons you mentioned. So in cases they are short changed by the ATM, they can complain immediately, especially if the ATM is beside a bank affiliated with it but if is not then counting money in front of a ATM is a waste of time. For some weird reason I always go to a ATM beside a bank just in case, and I wasn't even raised and born in Nigeria, so I must add that I feel it is more then a Nigerian thing because I have seen Indians and some whites do the samething |

igbo boy: true but igbo people bear more foreign "first" name more than any group apart from maybe ijaw and hausa...this has to stop...AMEN, it seems soome people on this thread dont know the difference between FIRST name and SURNAME name because the tribes in Nigeria are different with name identification depending if you are talking first or surname, and I asked the OP and he clearified it in the first page that he asked about surname and first name, so people need to just say how things are instead of crying wolf. To me hausa's win this prize because they mostly bear FIRST and LAST foreign names. |

Gozzzy: Oga research again before commenting. Which kyn igbos? Have you tried ijaw,who bear conc foreign first names, and saw names? Yorubas have more than half the population answering foreign names as first names,together with igbos, hausa na dem pas..... Stop distorting facts.Im not distorting anything, based on what you said it seems you are distorting the facts because yorubas rarily have foreign first names; if you see a yoruba with a foreign name it is mostly surname and they are mostly muslim, which isnt half the population(so I dont know what you are talking about). Most igbo's i have bumped into have english first names and mainly igbo surnames. I am standing behind what I said. Some of you guys like people to sugar code things for you because you are not comfortable with what you hear, not my problem. Hausa's take the NUMBER 1 prize for foreign names both first and surname foreign names. I already responded to somebody about the ijaw (since they are not that far after the hausa's with foreign names), so go read back again, and my statement. |

Princessaleeza: it seems his talking abt Surname,but i think d Yoruba has Foriegn names more dan. e.g Titi David,Funbi Williams,Mide Martins,Debo Soarse etc.Hausa's take the cake with foreign surnames, no tribe beats them in that, I never denied that yoruba's dont have foreign last names but it is small population compared to the ones that have native names based on my experience |

Ayomax: I do agree with you to some extend but my conclusion still remain we are better apart.Apart from the northern Muslim radicals, yup I agree with that. Let me ask you a question: Do you feel that if the Hausa'a, Yoruba's and Igbo's had their own country that it would have been better off or the same? |

Ayomax: In the Nigerian context, ethnicity is more of a concept which focuses on sentiments of origin, culture, language and religion. It tends to encompass the way in which people think of themselves and others and make sense of the world around them. However, expressions of ethnicity in Nigerian politics have largely been associated with war, clashes and other forms of violence. This disregards postulations by scholars that the mere existence of different ethnic groupings in one nation should not necessarily mean violence. The mere fact that Nigeria harbours more than 250 ethnic groups does not automatically mean that there should be conflicts or divisions. After all, the various groups are meant to co-exist peacefully since they collectively make up the territorial landmass. They are controlled by a government, have national army, pledged under a national anthem, and have same identity and other paraphernalia which qualifies Nigeria as a sovereign nation. I don't agree our differences is our strengths.I believe Nigeria's differences are our strengths and weaknesses to a extent because our differences are the reason Nigeria had a civil war and why you see religious conflict but I feel our differences are also our strengths because it has brought out the beauty of Nigeria, in a way where we are not a monolithic group to a extent; for example if Nigeria was all Muslim and Hausa, it wouldn't be the Nigeria it is today(not a insult just a example). Nigeria is very unique, I feel the reason why our weaknesses are showing more is because some groups in Nigeria are not respecting other groups(ethnicities and etc) and it shows, especially in Northern Nigeria. |
