Romance / Re: Nigerian Men And Their Foreign Wives by nguage(m): 11:15pm On Jan 15, 2011 |
Jenifa_: Lol I can't criticize until I really understand it. I agree with you that the wife is usually the one that has to adapt to the husband's culture. But there's an exception when the Nigerian husband married to a foreign lady also lives in his wife's country. Consequently, the man now has 2 reasons to adapt to his wife's culture: 1. Adapting to his spouse's culture helps the relationship (less important) 2. By adapting to his wife's culture he is also adapting to his new environment (more important) The foreign wife only has 1 reason to adapt to the Nigerian man's culture and a less important one at that. That's my own theory for the exception. I have a feeling we're saying the same thing but I would love to understand your theory better especially the part about matriarchal and patriarchal dominated cultures. |

Jenifa_: This is a very interesting theory |
Romance / Re: Nigerian Men And Their Foreign Wives by nguage(m): 8:12am On Jan 15, 2011 |
Another explanation for why Nigerian men are more"romantic" when they're with their non Nigerian wives is that many people try to be culturally sensitive and people try to adapt culturally. If I'm in a house where I see people feeding each other, I will feed the person next to me. It is also normal that men who marry western wives try to copy western men in typical western relationships. What's happening is that we are getting to a point where the African woman's notion of romance is from western pop culture. |

Ask him and keep your eyes open too, but most importantly guard yourself against paranoia. Paranoia is probably as much of a threat to love as an unfaithful spouse. |

Literature / Re: Amos Tutuola, The Extra Ordinary Novelist Of Yoruba Phantasmagoria by nguage(m): 5:26am On Jul 12, 2010 |
What makes his books great is the fact that he took his time, as a worker, to write these stories with the little education he had. I appreciate the fact that he took his time to promote Yoruba culture. When he was published in the late 40s, Nigerian students in the UK did not like his work. The fact that he was the first Nigerian author to get international recognition subsequently established him as the face of Nigerian literature back then. This did not sit well with these Nigerian students especially because of the broken English his books were written in. For me, the lesson in all this is appreciation of context, willpower, and effort in the works of others. |

FL Gators: I'm in school too and I just can't stand summer class. About 20 more days anyway and I'll have time to play around and rest. |

Politics / Re: Is There Any Yoruba Organization In Usa? by nguage(m): 5:37am On Jun 29, 2010 |
LOL. Just a suggestion o. I'm definitely not interested in creating an organization or becoming the president of anything. |
Politics / Re: Is There Any Yoruba Organization In Usa? by nguage(m): 5:26am On Jun 29, 2010 |
I, personally, am not in support of such organizations but I know why and how they may be useful. Something like that can be started on this forum since a few members seem interested in it. |

Egbe Omo Yoruba. Warning: Many of them are grown men in the 40s, 50s and there's a fair bit of politicking involved. Maybe someone mentioned this already though. There's a chapter in every city and sometimes 3 in a city because of politics. http://www.yorubanation.org/Chapters/Miami.htm |

Romance / Re: Why do women fall so cheap by sleeping with their boyfriend before Marriage? by nguage(m): 1:03am On Jun 05, 2010 |
Your values are good but a more important value that you should have is not to dictate other people's values. If you want a discussion, you should start by telling your audience why you have chosen to be a virgin. When you're done, you should listen to their own points too with an open mind. The ability to reason, alone and with other human beings, is more important than the ability to restrain sexual urges. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: The Secret Of Understanding Love And Sharing. Why I Share The Satellite Pictures by nguage(m): 1:45pm On May 31, 2010 |
The fact that nobody has presented an alternative doesn't make you right. It probably means everyone has realized that the solution to a problem of this magnitude deserves to be well-thought out and logical. |
Politics / Re: The Secret Of Understanding Love And Sharing. Why I Share The Satellite Pictures by nguage(m): 7:30am On May 31, 2010 |
Secession isn't the only way to avoid a civil war. History has actually shown that a secession is more likely to cause a civil war. If you want to save human lives, separation isn't the way. |
Romance / Re: Men Why Are You Like This? by nguage(m): 6:37am On May 31, 2010 |
Not just men, human beings can be weird, especially in matters relating to the opposite sex. Maybe declaring your feelings for him made him more relaxed and now he's sure he has you in the bag already. Call him before stop asking us. |

How do you reconcile love and your separatist views? |

Yeah, I love music. But I don't know if I love it as much as you do or if we love the same kind of music either. |
