EzeEfuna: I never denied being an American, so I'm already attuned to the "reality" that you're speaking of. If you read my replies to other comments to other answers, it will reveal that I am in fact an Igbo.
I do respect your answer, so thank you. Sorry I missed where you said you were Igbo, but be gratefull that you know who you are and aren't in the dark about your identity like we Black Americans.  |
Culture › Re: . by khiaa(f): 3:41am On Aug 28, 2014*. Modified: 3:57am On Aug 28, 2014 |
EzeEfuna: I was born in Atlanta Georgia, USA. I was also raised (Being raised) in the US. However, most of my life, I have identified myself as Nigerian, despite where I was born or brought up. I have siblings, and they identify themselves as Americans with Nigerian parents. This slightly does irritate me, but any time I try to say anything, they all slaughter me with insults.
At school, when people ask me where I'm from, I always say Anambra State, Nigeria (As that's where my forefathers are from). However, when they ask me where I was born it's as if time slows completely down. My heart rate increases, and I start sweating. I proceed to tell them where I was born, but they always feel that they have to argue with me, saying that that means that I'm from Atlanta, and not Nigeria. I always tell them that I don't come from Atlanta, because blood isn't of this land. This sometimes forces me to tell some people that I was born in Nigeria (As some of my cousins do) so I wouldn't be viewed as a non-Nigerian, as that breaks my heart.
My siblings constantly argue with me, sometimes randomly asking me where I am from. I always answer, "I am from Anambra State, Nigeria.". Then they say, "No, you are not. You were not born there, and you have never actually lived there. You are not a Nigerian, your parents are. You are nothing more than an American." Of course I cannot combat those statements, as they never let me explain my point. They all yell and scream at me before I explain that we all come from Anambra State.
I'd love to address this issue to my parents, but there's one problem; my mom agrees with my siblings for the most part. When my siblings yell at me about where I come from, my mom yells at me too. Saying that I am not a Nigerian, and Nigeria isn't my home. In fact, the only person that agrees with me is my father, but he's not always around to defend me. This leaves me with nowhere to go and nobody to go to.
All I want is to be viewed as a Nigerian. I learned my native language (mostly), I know my culture, and I know about politics in Nigeria. Unfortunately, this lead to my siblings and mom calling me an "extremist", claiming that I hate the United States, and want to destroy it. That's obviously far from true, I love being an American. But I want to be viewed as a Nigerian-American.
Despite being a male, I have cried many times about this topic. I have prayed, and everything. However, nothing has changed. I'm just tired of this, I know deep down within my heart and spirit that I am a Nigerian, and a proud Igbo. However, it feels as if it's only my imagination, as I'm constantly being told otherwise.
I have argued this point, but they don't seem to understand. I ask them, "Where is our father from?" They reply, "Anambra State". "I then nod my head, and proceed to say, "However, he wasn't born in Anambra State, he was born in Rivers State. They then try to avoid this topic, spewing insults and saying, "It's different, it's in the same country. "
So, I just want to see how other people view this. And I desperately need some form of help... thanks. Actually you are not Nigerian, Nigeria is a nation that you were neither born in or lived in, face reality you are American rather you like it or not. You didn't say what tribe you were from and that is your true identity. Sorry I missed that, you are Igbo.  |

Ilovenigeria: Let's be sincere to ourselves naaaaa. I am sincere, I guess things are different in Nigeria, but it seams like such a waste of time to play all the games of forming, such silly games are for children. Be a woman about it and go for what you want. It's 2014 and you're still afraid to approach a man?  |

Ilovenigeria: Onila you got it all wrong. Women feel like that because they find it difficult to move on after break up. Women knew the truth but they can't just accept it.they enjoy more in a relationship. Break up with a guy in the morning before evening he will get a very sexy and sweeter girl. But in a girls case, she has to wait until another toaster comes her way,maybe in six months time. Why would the woman have to wait 6 months for someone to come along? If a woman sees a man who attracts her attention, why can't she approach him with a conversation. A nice smile  and a simple.... "Hello my name is Khiaa, how are you doing today" is a nice start, and you can take it from there. |

CityNG: And what if the mother is unable to produce adequate milk or has a medical condition that doesn't allow for breastfeeding? That's where the formula comes in, the formula is healthy for the baby but nothing is as good as breastmilk, but if the situation arises you have to do what you have to do. |
