mbatuku2:What do you mean what happened to me? ![]() |
md4real:That was very uncalled for ![]() |
MzDarkSkin:Homosexuality has existed within the continent of African even before the coming of the white man. All this talk about the white man bringing homosexuality to the African people is a load of crap. As a whole, homosexuality is nothing new. The only thing that has been created is this overt disdain of homosexuals. Homophobia is what is spreading like wildfire, not homosexuality. These same missionaries you complain about, is it not their God that you worship? It's easy for you to pick and choose what you consider to be good and bad huh? |
@OP: I like your thread, it is very informative. By the way, you never clarified for me in the other thread you had on what ethnic group you were from. Would you mind telling me? |
@everyone: Hmmm, this is just a side thought so if anyone doesn't like it please don't start hurling insults at me . . . Anyway, technically speaking, are we not all ethnically mixed--not just as Nigerians but as Africans as a whole? I mean, we all move around and relocate so much so can anyone really call themselves one particular group? I know it may sound a little silly since I've staked some claim to some ethnic groups but little bit I know of my family's ethnic background is the only reason why I do so? Just a thought. . . So, would anyone like to add onto this thought? ![]() |
igbo boy:lol, at least you could hear the difference. My parents had a habit of mixing dialects so until I was about 18 years old, I had no idea that they spoke two different dialects ![]() |
ifyalways:Ha, they're lucky I don't eat meat anymore otherwise I would be devouring all of the gizzard regardless of anyone's gender. Back in the day, I would have eaten it like crazy ![]() |
^^^ What the hell? What are you trying to say? ![]() |
@OP: Omg, you sound like my garri twin. I should call BABE! to come see this thread. She loves garri too. Anyway, I do the same thing you do with garri. It's gotten to the point where my family has started to hide the garri. I've been contemplating on going to the African terminal market just to buy some more. I wouldn't say my LOVE for garri is an addiction, I'd say it's more of a deep passion lol. I know it sounds crazy but I just love garri in general whether dry or wet. From what I know, garri has a lot of starch in it so unless your burning it off like crazy [Hehehe, its a good thing I work out] it's probably not a good idea to consume it in such large quantities. |
igbo boy:Cool, your kinda like me--I'm kinda in the same boat ![]() |
homerac7:Hehehehe ![]() Sorry, I know the comment wasn't meant for me but it made me giggle a bit ![]() |
@OP: Actually, I was born in Enugu and I'm a mixture of Calabar and Igbo. . . Mostly Igbo I suppose. I'm Igbo by way of Owerri and Calabar by way of Ogoja. But I do have extended family members from a whole different side of my family who are from Anambra ![]() |
Hmmmm, my response on "forbidden foods" is based more on gender. My mom makes this gizzard suya and some peppered gizzard [not entire sure if it called peppered gizzard]. One time my mom made peppered gizzard. On this particular day, there was only a little bit of gizzard so I and I gave it to my grandmother to eat. When she ate it, she told me that I should have given it to my dad and that gizzard is for men. I looked at her like "Huh??". Then there was on time my mother was telling me stories about my grandmother being my great grandfather's favorite child. So while she was telling me this story, she mentioned that my great grandfather used to go turtle hunting and that my grandmother would beg him to let her go [when she was a little girl]. He'd always say no and my and eventually, one day my grandmother secretly followed him. Although she thought he wasn't looking, my great grandfather knew my grandmother had followed him and tried to pretend he didn't see here lol. Anyway when they'd hunt for these turtles, they'd eat the meat from the turtle after catching or finding a turtle and my grandmother would ask for some and my great grandfather, despite the fact that he loved her a lot, he'd always say no and that turtle meat was only for men. |

kandiikane:Smh, it was horrible. I have a friend who seems to be immune to things like that. There are somethings I will allow myself to watch or see. There's a video online of some teenagers killing random people in their country and although I know how to access the video, I just can't stand the thought of doing so even though I have high tolerance for such things. It's weird because people go around talking about things animals can do to one another yet the most dangerous animal in this world is a human being--I mean, when was the last time you saw a lion burning another lion alive or a hippo bombing a country? ![]() tunnytox:Eh ya. I'll lend you some of my tolerance level, how about that? ![]() |
[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=670595.msg8372667#msg8372667 date=1306088650]You're avoiding my comment. You come to the defense of Africans that are attacked. Fine with me. Have you ever came to the defense of non-Africans that were bashed by Africans?[/quote]Hmmm, good question ![]() |
tunnytox:LOL LOL, please don't call him names. He's entitled to his own opinion, no matter how ridiculous it may sound ![]() kandiikane:Its irrelevant to me too. I just thought the guys were cute ![]() kandiikane:Yeah, I agree tunnytox:Have you see actual footage of that? Its horrible. I saw a video online where someone was burned alive in some African country. Everyone who saw the video was a shaken up by the whole things. It was sad because the person kept trying to come out of the fire and they kept pulling the person back into the fire. I will NEVER forget the look on the person's face when I watched that video. Even while typing this, I'm tearing up a bit |
@OP: I don't do anything. I just let it consume me till it subsides ![]() |
I'm 100 yrs old. I look good huh? ![]() |
Hey, does anyone listen to Odd Future [Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All]? If is so, did you guys know that Tyler Okonma aka Tyler the Creator is of Nigerian origin? |
ababda:Silly? It's quite obvious that the OP has rocks for brains so please just disregard him/her. saiyaman:LOL LOL ![]() |
[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=670595.msg8366915#msg8366915 date=1305994689]I didn't want to get involved, but I could not resist. K.o.n.y., if you're going to talk about black accomplishments, don't just mention entertainers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_inventors_and_scientists http://www.blackentrepreneurprofile.com/fortune-500-ceos/ Tada! K.o.n.y., why are you trying to start trouble? What's your problem? Saiyaman, you're not AA. I noticed you used the term "daft." That's a British slang I think an overwhelming majority of Americans don't know. As for Barack Obama, he self-identifies as black/AA. Look it up yourself. Inked_Nerd, is akata some kind of ethnic slur like spic and guido?[/quote]Growing up, I've never known the word to be an ethnic slur. Its just the Nigerian way of saying African American. Just as each language and nationality has words to describe people, we Nigerians have words to describe other people. Its not necessarily to insult people though. |
saiyaman:Wow, nice to see another African American who isn't like the OP. saiyaman:Hmmm, good question ![]() |
africhika:Yeah, I know. I feel bad for the guy, but I guess she was just nervous or overwhelmed. If I were her I'd just say yes in public and no in private ![]() |
But this what I hope it will be like in the next couple of months. So far the progress has been great. My hair is healthy and soft yet still thick ![]()
|
africhika:It kinda looks like these pics. When I cut it, I made sure it was longer in the front than the back ![]()
|
afam4eva:Hahahaha ![]() |
Booshman:Don't apologize for someone else's nonsense. He/she doesn't speak for you ![]() |
@OP: Omg, that was so sweet I just had to share it on FB. Well like GODSON2009 said, its not a about the persona's nationality. It's about the man himself. I'm sure there are Nigerian men who go above and beyond to do such a thing for a woman. Well, it was very creative--I wish the couple lots of luck. At least it didn't end up like this video ![]() [flash=400,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnyKkA05nYw&feature=share[/flash] |
africhika:Exactly, you see what I'm saying. Our men not appreciating what we have in it's natural state. Let some fool speak to me like that and I'll give you the tongue lashing of their life ![]() GODSON2009:Yeah, I know in the old days that women didn't relax or straighten their hair. I myself don't do it either. I'm not and will never be a fan of weave but there are people who do it in a tasteful manner and care for their actual hair and make it work for them. What rubbed me the wrong way was the way the OP presented his views. africhika:lol, that's interesting. At my school, the few Africans I meet hate walking around with a bad weave. . . Hmmm but then again that's pretty much how all the weave wearers at my school are. As for Nigerian women not wanting to be caught without weaves, its true. I know a couple of African models at some agencies here in New York and I've witnessed some of them go above and beyond not to be seen in public without their weaves. Its just crazy at times Hehehe, it's quite funny when I talk to other girls and I tell them I've never had a weave and that I don't relaxed my hair--they look at me like I'm there's something wrong with me. In Naija, its like having natural hair is equated with poverty. I remember in an interview Genevieve Nnaji did, she mentioned that she wore her natural hair out once and someone approached her and asked her what happened to her and if she had become poor. Because of the comment the man made, Genevieve said she put weave back in her hair. |
