CultureRe: American Women That Marry Nigerian Men by Blyss: 9:22pm On Jan 03, 2013
awofasteph: I am an American born woman who has parents from the West Indies. I was not raised as an American by my parents and I have come to marry a Nigerian man, who has been good so far to myself and my son from a previous marriage. What I have come to understand so far is that nigerians do have a different view of Americans and it does frustrate me at times because West Indians and Nigerians share a lot of the same cultural values, and I find myself having to point these out to my husband at times. This is not new to me though because in the West Indian culture growing up we were often called Yankee by our trinidadian family members. It still makes me cringe to this day to hear the word. West Indians do not really like Americans, esp. African-Americans.[size=10pt][/size] I think it is not only a Nigerian thing but a world wide stigma. I do at times point out to my husband the stigma that Nigerians carry when marrying American women because they are known to do such things as get papers and leave. I do not think there is anything you can do to stop a person from leaving. Yes it is unfortunate that there are women and men out there who may be subject to this kind of thing. I can only advise to be careful in all decision making and take with a grain of salt. I can only pray that my marriage is successful and blessed by God Almighty.
I find statements such as the highlighted to be hilariously RE.TARDED, but even more so hypocritical !! cheesy If you do like like Americans then why in the fuock are you hear and or want to come here? How in the hell can you hate the people who've established the life, liberty and over means to the persute of happiness in which to seek? LOL. You love Nigerian culture, correct.. then why in the Bleep don't you people go to Nigeria, instead of hear among people you claim to hate? cheesy Don't you know that without the culture attitude and whatever else you hate about the American people, that in which your people come here to take advantage of would not exist here? So it is illogical for you to hate them, and yet crave the fruits of their cultural attributes. You people are insane with this shiat. cheesy

bigfrancis21: Have you ever visited igboland before? Have you ever come across lots of Igbo people before? I guess you've not because if you have the first thing you'll notice is the strikingly high number of very light-skinned people among the Igbo. About 45% of the Igbo race is very light-skinned. Many Igbo people when they go to the US blend in very quickly and easily pass for an african american, even I myself. Are you aware that two separate BLACK Igbo couples gave birth to WHITE babies in london two years ago? These two families never had any white blood running through them. The light-skinned nature of the Igbo race is indubitable. Even in Nigeria here, the Igbo people (and the Ibibio/Efik) are quickly recognized by their light-skinned nature. Come across any light-skinned person on the streets of Nigeria and that person is likely Igbo. www.nairaland.com/1073120/nigerian-igbos-white-children

If you've read your history well you would have also known that during the slave trade era the white slave masters often took female igbo slaves as concubines due to their light-skinned complexion. This light-skinned nature of the Igbo slaves earned them the hatred of their fellow tribes slaves and they were often called the derogatory name, 'red ibo'. This was how the name stuck. The other tribes slaves felt that the light-skinned igbo weren't properly 'black' enough like them and hence looked down on them. They felt that this earned them the preference of the white slave masters over them. This same term was later to change to 'redbone' and has remained so ever since. This 'red ibo' fact you are disputing here is well documented in books and research works. I'd suggest you do your homework very well.
You've gone into greater detail of the subject very well. .

PAGAN 9JA:
The Fulani did do the attrocious action of bringing pan-islam to us and destroying many of our beliefs. (yes i know that islam existed before, howveer, it cannot be ignored that a multitude of Pagan knowledge was lost during the jihad.)


However, that said, there is 0% enemity against the FULANI ETHNIC GROUP, because it is understandable that isla is enough to drive ANY tribe mad and bloodthirsty for that matter, be it here in Nigeria or in Afghanistan or in Malaysia/Indonesia, etc.


so it is not just a Fulani thing. it is a dan fodio thing. I curse Dan FOdio but i would never curse the Fulani. once i piece together ancient FUlani religion, i will campaign throughout the Sahel.Im sure the practices survived, for e.g., Larengeji festival, etc. .

somalia9: THIS IS IS ONE OF MANY THREADS ON SOMALINET. ITS CALLED I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. LOL. THE FACT THEY ARE USING THIS WORD TELLS YOU THEY DONT CONSIDER THEMSELVES BLACK. BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS CONDEMEND TO BEING SLAVES.



1.Blacks are incapable of speaking the English language – only a bastardized version of it known as ‘ebonics’. Ebonics is a bankrupt series of barks and grunts, and it takes little brainpower to determine the hundreds of slang expressions used in ebonics, as any 40-year-old white man can easily spout out a long conversation in street-slang with ease. Furthermore, blacks are incapable of success in America, despite having every opportunity and advantage that every other race has. When you see a black person who has not succeeded in America, scoff at him and remember comfortably that if your race were brutally oppressed and enslaved for centuries and your very culture destroyed in the process, it would only take your race about 15 minutes to recover because of the permeating presence of the American Dream.


2.I don't know why anybody would refer to themselves as a freakin' colour. I'm not black, I'm African and Somali, but I'm not black. African-Americans are "black" because they have no idea where the hell in Africa they are from and to be honest I've never actually seen anybody who was BLACK (save for the southern sudanese but they're blue not black). The only people Ive seen refer to themselves as "white" are Europe-Americans and thats only because they are as F'ed up as the African-American(ie. nothing and no one in America is pure). Okay so I'll end my little rant here

somalia8: Dude, your pretty brain washed. Somalis have lineage, and wouldnt trade that for a color. We have clans that makeup the somali family. it has nothing to do with arabs and north africans. We dont like foreigners, including blacks, ethiopians, arabs, north africans.


no army came to somalia to brain wash us, rather it was us who sent armies to kenya, ethiopia to fight our wars for the past 3,000 years.

All ancient cultures value their uniqueness and their lineage and wouldnt give that up for a color that was given to them by europeans. Somalis havent had that much contact by whites to alter our thinking or for us to go by their labels.


As for the women i posted, who cares how light they are, only a brain washed person who think of that.

One day when your culture is dead, and no one speaks your language, because all your people decided to call themselves black and intermixed with others than you will understand what you have lost. This is the reason why are women and men rarely marry outsiders, its the perservation of our culture that makes us believe that we are diffrent and we have something worth protecting.

This goes for ethiopians, eritreans, sudan. We dont look like blacks nor do we look like arabs or whites.

Somalis dont have any weird disgusting food.


we eat pasta, rice, chicken, fish, anjera, eggs (cooked), beans, veggies,beef.


We are a civilised peopke and we dont eat the private parts of animals or dead animals on the side of the road. Most somali restraunts i been to have many non somalis.


Even if u do online reviews of somali restraunts online most are done by non somalis


Our religion forbids many weird disgusting things.


Kenyans themselves are multi ethnic and some ethnicities do weird things.

But somali society is structured and everyone goes through some type of cultural indoctrination.
I've actually trying Somali food once before, at an Eid event a Muslim friend of mine once invited me to.

CultureFunny Cultural Reality Joke by Blyss(op): 5:41pm On Jan 02, 2013
I found this posted on another site, and thought I'd share it with you all.

“An Asian and an African become friends while they are both attending graduate school in the West. Years later, they each rise to become the finance minister of their respective countries. One day, the African ventures to Asia to visit his old friend, and is startled by the Asian's palatial home, the three Mercedes-Benzes in the circular drive, the swimming pool, the servants.

"My God!" the African exclaims. “We were just poor students before! How on earth can you now afford all this?”

“And the Asian takes his African friend to the window and points to a sparkling new elevated highway in the distance. “You see that toll road?” says the Asian, and then he proudly taps himself on the chest. “Ten percent.” And the African nods approvingly.

“A few years later, the Asian ventures to Africa, to return the visit to his old friend. He finds the African living in a massive estate sprawling over several acres. There's a fleet of dozens of Mercedes-Benzes in the driveway, and indoor pool and tennis courts, and army of uniformed chauffeurs and servants. “My God!” says the Asian. “How on earth do you afford all this?”

“This time the African takes his Asian friend to the window and points. “You see that highway?” he asks. But the Asian looks and sees nothing, just an open field with a few cows grazing.

"I don't see any highway," the Asian says, straining his eyes.

“At this, the African smiles, taps himself on the chest, and boasts, "One hundred percent!" ”

and dont call our food smelly. cause when i go to somali restraunts more than half of the people are white and non somalis who love our food. we got the best food. and we dont eat foods you negroids eat like the private parts of animals and other gross things.
Do you Somalis drink curd milk aka spoiled milk, as is customary among most East Africans groups I've associated with? I've met and or known personally, several Kenyans, Ugandans, Ethiopians and a Tanzanian who I've witness and or have admitted to me upon my inquiring, that they drink or "spoon" curd milk aka spoiled milk. Back in high school I briefly dated this Kisii girl from Kenya, and I can remember her mother would buy a fresh half gallon of milk and leave it sitting out on the kitchen counter until it curd (spoiled) and then they would drink it like that, and use a spoon to eat the curd. I'd try my best not to show my utter displeasure at the site of them doing that, but damn I majorly grossed-out by the site of that. I was told that it's a common practice with most East Africans.

Fulaman198: If that was the case, why didn't we force the Hausa to start speaking our language?
It's a shame that you lack knowledge in your own history. The Goal was not to force people to become Fulani in essence via forcing them to speak your language and following your basic cultural customs and such, but rather to simply spread the reach of the Islamic faith; a Jihad in where Arabic is the jelling language between people in prayer and scripture. As long as the people committed to the will of "Allah" and acknowledge Muhammad as his messenger, everything else was nonsensical to a Jihadist, as the ultimate goal of the invasion would had been achieved. wink

Humm, I'm beginning to believe that a large amount of these Boko Haram boys are foreigners from across the Nigerian/Niger boarder. If the government was really serious about ending this thing, they'd just simply tighten up that northern boarder, and within a couple of months, the group would be starved of new recruits, and simply die off.

Fulaman198: I have to side with Pagan on this one, if Fulani were against every ethnic group, then why have a lot of Fulani adopted the language of other ethnic groups like the Yoruba and Hausa? Why do the Fulani always adopt others language/culture above theirs? Why do most Fulani people in NW Nigeria not even speak Fulani anymore and only Hausa? You come across as someone who does not know a thing about Africa, but you just talk for the sake of talking.
Simple. They do so because they are nomads who do not have a land of their own in Naija, instead prefering to pillage their way through other people's lands with their cattle. This obviously would over the centuries lead to them picking up the languages of those who's lands they trespass through and cause havoc in. I'm not even African, so you cant call me tribalistic for stating this, by the way.
