Look at water boy using my line

motun_rayo:
Kinda Disagree on that one. . . . No one is louder then a NIGERIAN lol

what do you know

motun_rayo:
Same here. . . I thought New York was bad
They are speak so loud too. . . , even amongst all the conversations on the bus you will always hear that Nigerian man/lady speaking soo embarrassingly loud

vietnamese people are loud too. with all their dumai dumai.

naija_diva:
i know, i'm just messing with you.

hey man! don't do that.

naija_diva:
"my little punk ass nephew"?

oh. i was just talking jive.

naija_diva:
aww man, you're wrong.

i see a theme here.  lots of american born igbos don't speak ibo?

naija_diva:
well yoruba parents make sure that their children speak their language.

not really. my little punk ass nephew here couldn't speak yoruba to save his life.

onyinye2:
Oka i think it is sort of shameful that i can't speak Igbo. I see little chinese and mexican five year olds running around speaking their native tongue. But me when i was young i was speaking english and understanding Igbo. That is why i take lessons from some of yal and at home to learn my language. At first i didn't see the importance of learning but now i know it is VERY important. And when i learn, I'm damn sure teaching my american born naija friends so they can speak it too. And im making 100% sure that my kids will learn Igbo because i don't want the Igbo culture to die in the states.

aww

KarmaMod:
They are pretending

Spanish is the first thing they teach their children. no matter where they were born.

Not all Mexicans speak spanish. You can google it if you think I'm bluffing.

KarmaMod:
No there isnt.

OMG! Yes there are.  I personally know at least 20. Mexican Americans to be specific. If you wanna get all technical.

I understand what you mean. There are lots of mexicans who don't speak spanish too, just letting you know. It doesn't make them incomplete. Your sense of belonging comes from within.

naija_diva:
same here, even if i'm just conversational in it and not fluent, i'll be happy.

motun_rayo:
I'm mean when I have them silly
Its just something that I feel is important for them to know

aww, you both want a piece of the language pie. i'm guessing it's because you feel out of place.

motun_rayo:
I wish I could speak it so I can speak it to my kids

didn't know you have kids. you changed your profile pic .
why is it important that you speak it to your kids, if they don't need it

motun_rayo:
@poster
OMG I'm in the same situation
I spoke perfect Yoruba but after staying in America for so long I can't speak it anymore
My parents have spoken Yoruba to me all my life so I don't understand how come I sound soooo stupid when I speak it.
I get so embarrassed when I hear little children speaking Yoruba

i don't understand how this happens. let me just laugh at you.

It's only a shame to those who make a big deal about it . If it's not necessary for your functionality what's the big deal

onyinye2:
As i said before, guys are so predictable.

don't hate. we just know what we want.

ohhh! he did want some.

onyinye2:
Blah Blah Blah doesn't change the fact that it aint love. maybe infatuation, but love. . . heck naw. I seen it multiple times.

A guy just got out of a relationship. Is a little down. Sees a chic into him. Uses her as a cover up for his previous relationship. says goodbye.
Nna, stay on topic.

onyinye, why are you so sure he's interested in her piece of meat? there are good guys out there too you know .

Okija_juju:
@ Topic

Why not. I have two of my ex's who I am very close to. Infact they even go as far as telling me their current boyfriends. Although atimes I must confess that I still want to get some _{(If you know what I mean   )}

play on nigga.  onyinye, this is a good example.  he remained friends with them.  not because he wanted to hit it.

onyinye2:
Oh Child' Play no he is not. Oka i have majority male friends. I know what you guys do. I see it. When you broke up with a girl, you are on the rebound. You are looking for a fast track "relationship" to cover up the hurt or thought of the previous relationship.

you are generalizing. you are not for sure that he is like that.

onyinye2:
Rubbish. that is why they call it "On The REBOUND" i mean what might start as "platonic", will change. He is on the rebound so he might just be using the girl. And she thinking he actually likes her turns out that it was just mere infatuation.

he might be on the rebound. he might be sincerely interested in the new woman.

ibkaye:
maybe when i shave my head

i wouldn't notice the difference

onyinye2:
Mba, the dude needs to stay away from woman for a while. Because he is on the rebound. No matter how platonic you want to make it, he might not see it that way.

there are people who break up on tuesday and find love on wednesday.

the guy is a jerk, but he can be a great friend, right?

hmm . i think if you two are mature enough to handle it, why not?

tehehehe naw

Sisikill:
What did I say now?

nothing. i was trying to respond to your signature but baxi posted ahead of me.

destruction is the best way to eradicate a criminal.

Love makes all things bearable
