@ BlackLibya I was not offended because I "recognized some truth" in your erroneous remarks. I did take offence and continue to do so by your patronizing tone which you use to constantly tell Nigerians about ourselves even when actual Nigerians who are in a better position to educate you about Nigeria/Nigerians correct you. Why do you think your words about Nigeria holds more weight than Nigerians? If a Nigerian tells you, you are wrong . . .why must you continue to persist? it doesn't make sense at all.

You are AA (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), if I was to start feeding you misinformation about your people surely you will be annoyed.

*sigh* . . .I think you are very naive, BlackLibya. If you understood anything about Nigeria, her potential, her role in West Africa then you would truly understand why Ghadaffi made such remarks. Is Nigeria the only country in Africa that was forced to become a federation by Britain? Why did he not campaign for those other nations also? The same man asking for an "Africa union" yet contradicts himself by asking Nigeria to dissolve. Such outcome will undoubtedly affect the continent. But why would he have cared as long as he had diluted Nigeria's influence in West Africa and in extension Africa and would have become "King of Kings of Africa" - his remarks never came from the good of his heart or concern.

As a Deltan I am telling you that what GEJ adorns himself in is our traditional attire - we have more than one traditional attire. We are not trying to emulate European gentlemen (smh).

So now Nollywood is your guideline for Nigerian women? this get's better and better . .
Miss Nigeria as well as her colleagues (whites included) are partakers of this weave trend the only exception I have seen to date was Flavanian of Tanzania even though all these models display some kind of falsity one way or another.
Now BlackLibya if you had said that Famous Nigerian women or Nigerian women you see in the media are likely to wear weave then I could have agreed with you there. Even if all our celebrities favour such style it doesn't mean that everybody back home follows the same pattern.

In Nigerian schools they teach indigenous languages (Hausa is practically the dominating language in Northern Nigeria) but please let's not look at this issue from only one view, I recognize English despoiled some of our traditional culture and then I also recognize there is a benefit to speaking English.

Look, I'm not Nigerian you're right Emo but we dont need to be enemies. As an ambassador of Nigeria, you should be trying to inform me of the virtues of your country.

I'm trying to but you are not hearing me, you see one thing then use that as a template to judge all Nigerians. . .it would have been better if you had formatted your findings as a query instead of concluding prematurely.

If I came across harsh I apologize.

Pukkah:
I do not see anything wrong in what the OP did. What if the intention of his post was not to concentrate on what the Ugandans did but to call attention to the state of Nigeria's development? Is this a crime?

There's no crime at all.

There's nothing wrong in commending or celebrating Uganda and I see no ill in doing a peer comparison between Nigeria and other countries (especially her contemporaries). Let's not start cutting comfort zone for Nigeria please. This is not where the country should be.

I'm aware of that

yeswecan:
Fine . . but why shame on Nigeria? there is no competition between Nigeria and Ugandan perhaps you exhibit the biggest problem with us; 'insecurity and pointless competition'. You should be happy for Ugandan not angry with Nigeria.

F.Y.I there are Nigeria inventions that Uganda haven't got. . . GROW UP.

Exactly. When a fellow African nation has achieved something worthy of applause it shouldn't be used as a cause to start lamenting Nigeria instead we should be inspired. You are taking away the shine from the people who deserve it - the Ugandans. You don't know what some of our youths are capable of or have already achieved even in our current condition. . .I'm impressed by the Ugandans involved but you really eclipsed their feat by adopting such title.

Romance › Re: Pregnant Couple In Incestuous Relationship by emofine(f): 12:31pm On Nov 04, 2011

The woman said it was love at first sight when she met her partner, but their parents' shock announcement had left them devastated and they had decided to separate.

Love? hmm. . .maybe of a different nature that she manifested through attraction undecided

The Mail reported that research by the British Medical Journal showed that half of those people separated from relatives at a young age experienced strong intimate feelings when they reunited.

Based on many reports I've noticed that as well, it makes one to consider and evaluate the nature of love.

However siblings if necessary should really not be raised apart . . .well if they are they should be made aware of each other.

Such a frightful situation to be in but 5 years into a relationship and neither had introduced each other to their parent hmm. . .

I just hope their child doesn't have webbed feet lipsrsealed

@ BlackLibya
Oh come now. . .is that why you call yourself BlackLibya? Are you Libya's spokesperson? The occurrence in Libya is not celebrated by Nigerians - your ignorance is so infuriating. We have our own trials in our country to be busy celebrating the downfalls of others. . .yet many nations on that continent take delight in our predicament yet will you accuse those people/nations of not being proud?!
Ghadaffi had sought for the balkanization of Nigeria so there may be some who fail to sympathize with him or Libya still that does not mean Nigeria encourages any of the mess in Libya.
Nigerians in Calabash signed themselves over to the British? What on earth are you on about now? Do you even know what a "Calabash" is?

So Oluchi's apparent statement inspired you to believe all Nigerians are like the ones in her supposed anecdote thus you readily conclude all Nigerians perceive natural hair as lower class. If she had said what you claim she had said how can I be sure you never took it out of context. I've never worn a weave and I have never been accused of suffering from abject poverty. Now you have two Nigerians. . .(although I very much doubt your claim about Oluchi more so because she is a model aka a canvass who is dolled up by her agents and other professional artists alike so her wearing a weave was probably part of the check list they supplied) . . .telling you different things concerning natural hair . . so what will you thus say from now on? Not everybody carries the same thoughts back home so if one person thinks one way it doesn't automatically become our culture . . .but you will conveniently overlook the countless Nigerian women who do not adhere to Oluchi's supposed remark and do sport their own natural crown to group us all under one umbrella and serve us a misguided lecture!

From Oluchi to Patience Jonathan eh? So the Nigerian first lady now serves as the portrait for all Nigeria women? By wearing her hair "proudly" I assume you mean sporting her natural hair, right? . . . So any Nigerian woman in the limelight that does not carry their own natural hair is absolute proof that all Nigerian women are ashamed of their natural hair abi? Oh what must you think of the Cameroonians then. Are they proud-less people too if we were to use Chantal Biya as their portrait? I wonder what you would have said If she was a Nigerian.

GEJ does not dress like he is a "cowboy from Texas". This is why I believe you are highly ignorant! You should ask questions instead of assuming. I am from Delta and our traditional attire differs to the well known Agbada. GEJ dresses as a typical man from Niger Delta from head to toe. Do you even know how our men from Niger Delta dress like? No! you obviously don't yet you want to come here and summarize us all. Nigeria does not have only one type of traditional wear.
Oh and have you noticed that us proud-less Nigerians are the only Africans whose head of states always wear traditional attire. . .

Even if we are not proud black people what is to you anyway? Why do you congregate with non-proud black people? To convert us abi? Abeg worry about your own . . .in your world blackness may be your be all and end all but not all of us was shaped under such mentality . . .you have no idea of our culture and beliefs and how we operate, you are so ignorant! There are many Languages with varying dialects in Nigeria. People who speak the same language may have a lack of ease comprehending another person who communicates in a different dialect of the same language. If many Nigerians here have apparently complained about the "lack of fluency in several languages" how much more here sought to converse in our so called "dying languages"? How many language threads has been created for various languages on this site? Even people of different ethnic groups speak their neighbours languages here but still you have the gall to tell us that we are ashamed of our languages or is it "dying languages"?. . .Who are you?

What makes you think that Nigerian languages are not taught in school? . . . .although you did say "African languages" to be precise yet you'll use such warped data (which I doubt) to point only at Nigerians as evidence as to why Nigerians out of that group called Africans are not proud. . .what about the proud, black conscious Southern/Eastern Africans, are their languages not under the African umbrella again?

Even if it was true it is the duty of the parents to make sure their child understands and converse in their language, language is not reserved for only school. Here in the UK they offer degrees that cater to various African languages including Yoruba and Hausa so your argument clearly holds no weight!

Speaking English does not mean we have chosen to discard our culture *sigh*
Nigerians are multilingual people, we are able to speak English as well as our various languages. We speak English because it is neutral and a global lingua franca, as well at it being employed as a means to communicate with our compatriots it also enables us to communicate with outsiders. . . how else would you have been able to preach your fallacy to us if we didn't comprehend English? via Yoruba?
Please do not insult us by generalizing us because it would be unfair of me to generalize your entire people and call them all ignorant due to the senseless jargon you have sprouted.
