Hello nairalanders

I was surprised to receive a message requesting me to register my number again in the whatapp messenger app to chat.

I tried registering and I got a message saying I have been banned from using what's app. I tried RE registering all to no avail. Does anyone have similar experience?

Madam stop looking at our Preeq,even when I'm trying to cover mine they will still be looking
Hypocrites

USA just discovered the man who manufactured and sold the Corona virus to China. Dr Charles Lieber, head of the chemistry and biology department at Havard University, USA. He was just arrested today according to American department sources.

Much like anywhere else, there are the intelligent and the ignorant.

For the most part, Nigerians are revered as being highly educated, hard-working individuals-- especially when they make their way to the U.S. and U.K. However, a small percentage of African Americans watch far too much television and believe that the African continent (as a whole) is impoverished, famished, and primitive.

P.S: My apologies for the late response. The time difference between us is pretty significant!

kaili:
Interesting point of view.

kaili:
Interesting point of view. What do you think are some of the things (culturally) that would shock us, or feel uncomfortable at first for visitors? I am certainly open to the idea of spending a month or two abroad.

Thank you for the compliments

kaili:
After reading your first response, I didn't want my pic to paint that ghetto, overly-sexual picture of me LOL!!!!

kaili:
I must say, I had some mixed emotions while reading this response.

I'm saddened that the stereotypes in regard to African-American behavioral characteristics have influenced the minds of our brothers and sisters abroad.

Though some of what you said was true, particularly the victim mentality comment, I believe everything is a result of cause-and-effect. The media has a huge influence on how we are portrayed. I am majoring in Journalism, so I can attest to that first-hand.

This isn't an excuse for the behavior you mentioned, however, it's become easier for me to view things from a different lens since I know that the "ghetto/ratchet" individuals do not make up the majority of African-Americans. If you turn on the TV or visit certain areas, however, it will certainly look that way.

I wouldn't encourage that particular demographic to return to OR visit the African continent by any means. Unfortunately, they need a level of healing that no one else can facilitate but themselves.

Finally, for myself, I'm simply interested in visiting Nigeria. I've heard about how difficult it is to live there from Nigerians I know personally. The stories have been alarming. If/when I relocate, I may just pack my bags and set up shop in Accra.

Good morning all, I'm Mikaili. Born and raised in the U.S.

These days, many of us African Americans are waking up to the idea of rebuilding the connection with our long-lost homeland. I happen to be one of those individuals. I was born with 4 African names, raised with a deep cultural understanding, and intentionally surrounded myself with African friends.

I've always felt welcomed by Nigerians (and Africans in general), however, I've heard that other African-Americans have had negative experiences.

NIGERIANS: This is my question for you all. If those of us African-Americans who appreciate your culture begin to visit/relocate in large numbers... would you be bothered by that idea? If so, why?
