lol. I'm sorry. I guess I should have read it properly. We've been together for a few years, we've been dating since high school and now we're juniors at the same university. He and I are similar in many ways, such as personality and morals, so our difference in culture do not affect us that much. I'm not sure how close you and your boyfriend are but you should talk to him about how you feel. He might have some resolutions to your fears, maybe even suggest ways to adjust gradually into his culture. I know most Nigerian families are very conservative so they value tradition. If you acknowledge and respect it, even though you might not agree with it, then you not have big problems. Try to learn two or more important values of your boyfriend's family and truly understand it. It will put you more at ease once you've studied his culture and family. In return, he will do the same for you. Well that's it. I hope I was helpful. Good Luck.

p.s. sorry about the pic comment. No hard feelings right?

I'm in the similar situation but we have not discussed marriage yet. However, it shouldn't matter whether or not he is Nigerian and you are not. The important aspect of your relationship is that you understand and respect each other's culture. Having that respect will make you love stronger. Hope this helps you with some of the doubts you have. Goodluck.

p.s. I'm gonna say this as nice as possible.I have a lot of guys friends that are Nigerian and my boyfriend is Nigerian. No offense. I just want to know why you chose that particular boy out of all the good looking Nigerians out there?
