Seems like someone is afraid about new ways of living!

You know what, keep ur mouth shut, get married to a nice woman from ur tribe and let my boyfriend and me do what we wanna do,

there is more than enough room in a relationship to keep traditions alive from both countries, People like u are the reason while the world is as worse as it is with all those religiouse and culture wars. Better u get it straight soon that u can be open minded, learn new things every day without missing ur culture at all.

I really thought this website is a nice idea and a good way to learn more about Nigiria and meet new ppl but seems like i was wrong.

Thanks for ur opinion and advice.

Its kind of tough, he is Nigirian living in the US. I m German and "moved" to the US to get to know him better. We met on one of my journey to the US and started with a long-distance relationship but it was kind of hard to get to know each other with this. So i m here now and trying to figure out whats him, whats the culture and how i feel in all these different things. I mean its not only to learn and see the Nigiria culture - its also to learn and see the american one and to compromise and fit into all those different things.

I do think and feel i m open minded enough to handle all this but sometimes it comes all back to me and i feel like, i just wanna run back home to my old secure place.

I felt by asking those questions it might be more easy to see whats the culture background and whats his personality. I have a friend in a mixed relationship (american - fidji) and she is describing the same. Be open minded, show interest and if an issue comes up try to talk about. And takes things more easy than in a non-mixed culture relationship.

Thank you for ur answere. I was hoping for some more advice or interest to share things but maybe ppl dont really know what to answere or advice

I met my boyfriend a few month ago.
He is Nigirian (Igbo) and i am German. We just moved in together to get to know each other better and i found out that its kind of difficult with our different understandigs about relationship, being close to each other, raising children, family issues.

Any advice from your side how i can make this relationship work better? What are the expectations of Nigirian men in their woman? Whats important for them? What is a Nigirian family about?

I have a few igbo sentences which i would like to translate into english for better understanding. But when i try translation or dictonary most of the words are not found, so i guess its more like igbo slang.

It would be nice when someone can help me out
