@ pagan 9ja, it is ok, nobody is stopping u from doing whatever u like...but don't expect anyone to take u seriously. and honestly, the reason i responded to u was that i was genuinely surprised that u of all people is also based abroad and not living with ur kind. i always thought u were with ur people living like a maguzawa hausa that u claim u represent. but hey, i guess even someone like u cannot resist the appeal of a western society. na later e go be o, take care.

PhysicsQED: Wow. That story is pretty awful. I knew this stuff was going on with Asians, but I didn't know the problem was that serious.
the truth is that asians are just as westernized as africans and even worse. but i guess because they have a better economy can create their own wealth unlike us who have to rely on oyibo to do it for us...eg Pagan 9ja, people tend to look over them.

and the irony is wider eyes that asians think is more beautiful also comes natural to blacks/or africans but some dumb negroid would take it as a compliment when people tell em they have asian eyes. and if u watch the video @ 2:10 the clinic is called eboneye.

excuses upon excuses. and lol @ saying u still have ur nigerian accent. that was funny. grin grin

my thing is, if u are going to whine about westernization, u should be able to do ur thing amongst ur people not living in the comfort of a western society and then whining about it. why cant u build ur wealth at home? or is because u lack the know-how and have to rely on oyibo to employ u? and put u to 'good' use?

and oh, dem asians are becoming westernized also. http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/19/korea.beauty/index.html

lol..fulaman, u again? who loves to talk but to hates to explain? pls stop quoting my comment and direct ur response to the scholars who drew the map and considers ur culture an arabized one.

btw, it was dumb of u to post a video of someone rapping and u called it ur culture...even though u claim to despise AA culture? but i bet that fulani rapper was influnced by tupac and waka flocka... haha

in fact, u abokis in the north are the most confused...coz are both arabized and westernized coz i bet outside writing queens english, u can also write perfect arabic..and very soon u will be writing ebonics...dumbass

^^

judging from this map, it seems u abokis in the north have a lot more work to do. ur culture and civilization is no longer considered african but islamic and we all know islamic = arabization. and u are now in the same category with somalia.

so who knows, very soon we will have a confused negroid from the north like the somali troll screaming how he hates 'africans'. grin

i am a Maguzawa Hausa to the extent that i admit i am fanatic about it. but has that stopped me from living and working in the u.k. in a work-placehuh[/quote]shocked u of all people also live abroad? im shocked!! and not even a country like the US but pure european society? so how are u going to avoid westernization when u do not even live amongst ur kind but live with whites? it is like me living in a hausa heartland and whining about hausanization.

and btw, so who is going to teach ur maguzawa hausa back home on how to avoid westernization when u with the knowledge is not living amongst them but living comfortably amongst oyibos? oh, i get it, the knowledge will fall to them from heaven..or when they come live and work with u in the uk.

the hypocrisy of ur comment is actually funny.... and i bet u are probably sipping tea while typing on nairaland coz i doubt if u dey see kunu buy there grin grin

oh ok. no yawa.

i think u wrote the tones correctly. but the sentence is missing 'is' which im not sure how to spell correctly altho i can pronounce it. so i'll leave the sentence as it is not to ruin it with wrong spelling coz anybody with a little knowlegde of edo would understand what u wrote. so its cool.

anyway, later.
CultureRe: Renaming The Niger Area: Top Priority Place That Should Change Names by ezotik:
if benin city should be renamed, it should be renamed oredo coz that is the edo name for the city which literally translate to edo city.

so both the local govt and captital can be oredo LGA, oredo. kinda like new york, new york.
CultureRe: Learning Yoruba (phonology) by ezotik: 3:12pm On Sep 11, 2012
yes, same ezotik.

nothing serious..it just because of the way u have said it repeatedly, i guess that was why i curios to know what makes u a 'half' norwegian. and well, norway is a 'white' country. but hey no biggie, if the Q was too personal.

khian zekpe!
CultureRe: Learning Yoruba (phonology) by ezotik:
starflux, sup?

this is off topic, but i was just curious.

ive read some of ur comments where u said u are half norwegian. is it that ur mum is white or u are a naturalized citizen?
CultureRe: The Social And Cultural Implications Of Living In The West by ezotik: 5:46am On Sep 10, 2012
odumchi, who said u have lost touch with home? i said u were missing home, remember? but ur argument here is absurd and u are yet to prove how nigeria has more 'community sense' than the US. because u feel isolated does not mean they lack a community sense.

"But for some reason strange they flock back to the East in times of uncertainty (Biafran war, June 12, Boko Haram), right?"

huh? during a time of crisis, people are forced to go home...not that they leave voluntarily.
and since biafran war has ended, they flocked back.

anyway this ur topic is kinda stale..so na later.
CultureRe: The Social And Cultural Implications Of Living In The West by ezotik: 12:16am On Sep 10, 2012
odumchi: I just want to make it clear to you that, despite your personal convictions, I am no child. A hundred and fifty years ago, I would've been old enough to establish my own family; however, I digress. If you don't believe that we return home regularly, then that is your own business.

It's funny how you (the supposed adult) is displaying the lowest level of maturity by attempting to insult my family and I as if you have something to gain. Like they say, age is but a number; you've shown me that age is no guarantee of an increase in maturity.

Anyway, the reason why we human beings have older relatives is so that they can pass along their life lessons to us. Someone who has no older relatives to learn from will blunder more in life than the person that learns from his/her elders. It is through this lineal passing of knowledge that progression occurs.
lol..odumchi, u are not a child but not an adult, so what are u? an adolescent? grin and whats with the hypersensitivity to my post? obviously, u lack a sense of humour, do.

so what is ur gripe exactly? u feel isolated in a foreign land, but instead of u to try and integrate and make urself feel at home in ur host country, u come here to rant with all sorts of generalizations that they lack what u supposedly have in ur home country? while in reality it is the other way round?

oh, i know it can be lonely abroad...especially when u are in a faraway country without ur kin and kith. but when u are feeling too lonely... like i earlier, instead of ranting on the internet, save towards a plane ticket and go home for some fresh air, so that u can have a balanced perspective.

As for the Igbo, most of those that live in cities that aren't their hometown aren't permanent residents. The Igbo (and other peoples) driven from their localities in search of employment. After staying in a city for a specific amount of time, they eventually return to their native lands. That is the same case with many other Nigerians abroad.
u do not know ur people then. there are igbos in lagos who do not know the road to the east not to mention other igbos who are permanently settled across nigeria cities outside the east. and only time they finally go back home is in caskets!!
CultureRe: The Social And Cultural Implications Of Living In The West by ezotik: 10:50pm On Sep 09, 2012
Coldfeet: ezotik I guess you know this because your family and his have this in common?
no.
CultureRe: The Social And Cultural Implications Of Living In The West by ezotik:
odumchi: Lol.

First of all I am not an adult. Secondly, my family and I go home (Nigeria) regularly. .
lol...so u are a child? good. and there is no need to lie about going home regularly.

I also believe that you too misinterpreted that proverb. The proverb isn't referring to a physical village but a community.
and aren't there more community based programs in america than in nigeria? and to crown it all, they also have a welfare system which i guess ur family survives on grin

This means that a child is raised not only by the parents but by the grandparents, uncles, aunts, and anyone else that positively influenced the child's life.
and they dont do that over there? because u in particular (or other nigerians) live in isolation without ur grandparents, uncles, aunts etc around u does not mean the general populace does. if i remember correctly, obama was mostly raised by his grandparents.

I believe that you're also mistaken. Most Nigerian families are not "very nuclear" and most Nigerians don't live in urbanized areas (I think the figure is something like 50/50). Last time that I checked, Nigerians don't live permanently in cities (unless that's where they originated from). Take Lagos for example. Over half the population of Lagos doesn't live permanently in it; they live and work in Lagos but eventually pack up and go to their respective "homes" during times of festivity
sorry, most nigerians live in the cities in their states and only go tend to go 'home' occasionally. the igbos for example, most of them who live in lagos only go 'home' during christmas and new year celebrations and by 2nd or 3rd of Jan, they are back to lag...while the others do not move an inch and have not been to the east in years!! so they live permanently in lagos and that is why they call themselves lagosians.
CultureRe: The Social And Cultural Implications Of Living In The West by ezotik: 4:42pm On Sep 09, 2012
lol... incoherent rants of a nigerian stuck abroad who has probably not been home for over a decade. odumchi is just missing home and people who rant like this are those who don’t go home regularly. nigerians in the diaspora who touch base regularly would not rant like this.

and to counter ur main arguments, there are lots of nigerians raised in nigeria who cannot speak their language especially kids of the so-called elites. the era of it takes 'a village to raise a child' is long gone as most nigerians no longer live in villages but in cities.. and the crown it all, the ecomonic situation in nigeria does not help matters. the average nigerian can hardly take care of his immediate family not to talk of taking on another's man child, so the modern proverb is 'on your own' and nigerian families are very nuclear these days as nobody wan carry overload.

odumchi, i know u are missing ur akpu and oha soup. so what u need to do, is buy a plane ticket and go home. try touch base this year, u hear? grin xmas and new year is around the corner!!

and alhaji = success, and one who is spiritually purer than u church rats (pun intended) who have not been able to afford the trip to become more arabized?
