THE AMAKA:

what? i was born and raised in cali and i still know what wahala is.

wahala, at your age you are just finding out about this?
lol
na wa oo!

Like I said, different cultures, You're from Cali. I'm from Roc, NY. Very different.

I don't speak any of the Nigerian languages though. None of my Nigerian cousins do either. I only know English and American Sign Language. I want to learn Igbo, French and Hausa.

Read the first few chapters of Alex Haley's "Roots", regarding Omoro Kinte's naming of his first son Kunta Kinte.

@ Poster, very interesting.

In a training class for the Leadership club at my school, we had to compare and differentiate between pairs of notable leaders. One pair that was randomly selected was Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama.

na2day?:

no offense, are u nigerian in the slightest possible way?

Yes. But I was raised in an entirely different culture and environment.

Gabry, I want to come and visit you.

Gabry:

Ngozi means Being a blessing. Its originated in Africa and it is an Igbo Name

Cool. Thank you.

Parent: "It's time to go to bed now."

Child: "But I can't go to bed now."

Parent: "Why not?"

Child: "Because. . . I Love you!"

Mmmmm,

I don't wanna get into this one.

What does Ngozi mean?

Go ahead and throw us all in the same category. There are 50+ states in "America", and the 50 million or so Black people who come from these 50+ states lack values and culture.

What a way to generalize.

I want to answer this thread, but don't want to be writing a master thesis on a message board.

Seriously though

sexyLeamon:

bloody nonsense. No kidding. This is just dumb. What ever happened to falling inlove with a person for who they are and not letting outer appearance cloud your judgement? These are words that human beings especially u need to meditate on to be wise in picking someone to love. love is not a matter of colour but a matter of feeling

No disrespect to you, but this is a foolish and/or ignorant statement.

Study history. Study ourstory. Then maybe you will understand.

Don't confuse hip-hop with the Devil-rap people are into nowadays. THAT'S NOT HIP-HOP; It is mind control!

^^Black Nationalism^^

"Whether you are a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Nationalist, we all have the same problem, They don't hang you because you're a Baptist; they hang you 'cause you're black. They don't attack me because I'm a Muslim; they attack me 'cause I'm black. They attack all of us for the same reason; all of us catch hell from the same enemy. We're all in the same bag, in the same boat. We suffer political oppression, economic exploitation, and social degradation -- all of them from the same enemy.

And once we see that all these other sources to which we've turned have failed, we stop turning to them and turn to ourselves. We need a self-help program, a do-it-yourself philosophy, a do-it-right-now philosophy, a it's-already-too-late philosophy. This is what you and I need to get with, and the only time -- the only way we're going to solve our problem is with a self-help program. Before we can get a self-help program started we have to have a self-help philosophy.

Black Nationalism is a self-help philosophy. What's so good about it? You can stay right in the church where you are and still take Black Nationalism as your philosophy. You can stay in any kind of civic organization that you belong to and still take black nationalism as your philosophy. You can be an atheist and still take black nationalism as your philosophy. This is a philosophy that eliminates the necessity for division and argument. 'Cause if you're black you should be thinking black, and if you are black and you're not thinking black at this late date, well I'm sorry for you!

Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. Once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. As long as you got a sit-down philosophy, you'll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you'll be in some kind of sit-down action. They'll have you sitting in everywhere. It's not so good to refer to what you're going to do as a "sit-in." That right there castrates you. Right there it brings you down. What -- What goes with it? What -- Think of the image of someone sitting. An old woman can sit. An old man can sit. A chump can sit. A coward can sit. Anything can sit. Well you and I been sitting long enough, and it's time today for us to start doing some standing, and some fighting to back that up. "

Maybe the best place to look in inside church.

@ Church

Christianity in Africa is a strange paradox.

Africans used to fight to the death to avoid converting to the "pagan" religion for many centuries. Now you readily accept it without question! The same Christianity that was used to justify the enslavement and murder of millions upon millions of Blacks during the African-American Holocaust,

And we've all seen the effects of Christianity on the Universal Black Liberation struggle, how Black Christians have been propogandized against their brothers,  The way that Black Christianity has been manipulated to keep the masses of Black people in America passive, dormant, and divided against other Blacks who face the same delimnas but share different faiths.

We've read the works and listened to the speeches of Malcolm X (I hope), who tells us the truth of the matter, that Christians and Muslims will be pitted against eachother for the sake of bloodshed and diversion from the real issues of the day. It seems that the same tactics are used in Nigeria. The same things that occured in America in the 1960's,  the same problems coming to pass for Africans globally, just the way that Malcolm predicted they would be if Black people don't unite regardless of nationality, economic status, and religion / denomination. It is very evident!

Sorry to get off topic, but this is a very pressing and important issue,

Children are a blessing

Not a drawback.

Having a child makes people value life and time more, and forces them to act and live more responsibly.

@ngel0v3:

eventhough he was in love with you, he didn't play his part to make you feel attracted to him. Therefore, you felt nothing "deep" for him at all. Friendship is a very different ball game from dating. It is possible; only that the guy is supposed to lead and pilot the transition.

I believe he has a great and valid point
