Thank the west for that bro. Seriously! They [missionaries/aid workers from Europe and America] not only promote the 'coming out' of foreign gays but they actually help in creating them.  lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
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?

@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? undecided

Not at all,I eat anything I so want.
I can relate with Inkerd's story though abt gizzard reserved for the man of the house but lol,in my own house,the rule then was whoever kills the fowl,gets the gizzard.

My birth town and native home forbids a handful of foods and meat and as always,a very funny reason is pushed at u when u query the reasoning plus all the scary things they claim wud betide you if u dare do otherwise.I ate all,nothing happened.
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 grin

@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.

CultureRe: Forbidden Foods by InkedNerd(f): 5:35am On May 25, 2011
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.

I saw that video horrible especially like you wrote when he was trying to come out of the fire. Humans are wicked sha nor be small ting. . .
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? tongue

tunnytox:
I haven't seen the footage but honestly I'll rather avoid watching such videos which will obviously be very upsetting.

I'm allergic to terrible videos or pictures, take for instace there was a picture of a diseased breastt in the health section of this website and since I saw that picture I have been have some terrible tingling feelings all over my body. Honestly, I felt like cursing who ever put that picture up but I felt he might not know that such pictures could upset some people like me. huh huh
Eh ya. I'll lend you some of my tolerance level, how about that? wink

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.

Now you are starting to sound really silly. Yes some Sudanese is influence by other forms of music, but do you think the whole society dance in the same drum, and there is not one Sudanese culture, because Sudan is extremely diverse, you see every African group within her border in abundance. Also, to let you know the artist is from Southern Sudan, which is its own separate country now. Just to remind you, I am from the North.

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.

By the way I'm African American just like you silly tongue

Congrats, when one knows they have been beat they use fallacy to make an argument grin
What happen to AA men going to college more than the women? Or the fact that you guys spend more time behind bars than behind a book?

But Obama is not traditionally African American, and I remember at one point that was a big issue until Obama started winning, that was when Blacks gave their supports so don't act like AA were there from day one. And the fact remains, were there no AA that could do what Obama did? It took a half Kenyan half White guy to have a black guy in the White House undecided

Because all AA can do is sing an play sports? That is your definition of success? You are a monkey in every sense of the word, shiny things make you happy easily grin What is your fixation on celebrities, the richest black man in the world is a Nigerian. The Banker of the Year was Sansui.

Start naming things of substance and maybe I may take your Devry degree a little more serious  kiss

And in America AA are looked at the same way, what is your point?
Wow, nice to see another African American who isn't like the OP.

Really? Well where were AA for the people of Darfur? Laryngitis? huh
Hmmm, good question grin

BUT, on the other hand-----9ja men like long hair!!!!!!
one lady at my church has short, natural hair. her fiance (recently moved from 9ja) told her that she needs to "do something with her hair, because she can't be looking like a man."   what nonsense! now, she wears weave.
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 angry

GODSON2009:
i dont know the context the guy used in opening the thread but in the old days women were not using chemicals to wash and set and do all sorts to their hair they used organic stuffs which made the haidr glow shine and grow properly these days the chemicals  as resulted in many women not having long hair or their hair prematuredly falling out.
however  totally agree with you that its not restricted to naija women,but they are definitely part of the whole demographics described by the poster
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!!!!!!!
kennyman, i do agree that 9ja women wear toooooooooooo much weave. it's ridiculous the amount of weave on their heads.
at my university here in atlanta, the 9ja girls were always ridiculed by the african americans because of the bad weave.


on a recent visit to naija, i was shocked at the amount of weave.


i dont wear weave. and as soon as i landed in 9ja, pple kept asking me, "what is wrong? why don't u wear weave-on?"


oh, well, hopefully more 9ja woman can learn to appreciate the hair god gave them. look at s. africans, many of them don't wear weave. most of my 9ja friends would never be caught dead without their weave. i[b]n a group of african women, you can ALWAYS spot out the 9jas with the fake hair.[/b] na wa oh
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 undecided 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.
