But see, this is not an isolated incident. He is not the first African man that I have seen do this. My issue, is how do we reverse things to make the African relatives understand that being in America doesn't always translate to being rich. And why these men need to stop pretending that they are living like kings in America when the exact opposite is true. It works both ways.

When I visit Africa, many of my African sisters dream of going to Harlem or Atlanta, or Texas and living in the big house and driving a fancy car. But isn't like that at all, and it is hard convincing them that the cost of living is absurdly expensive. Many of these young men and women are expecting relatives to immediately start sending back funds and treats once they arrive in America, but don't understand that there is a rude awakening when you set foot on American soil. It's not so easy.

All these names you mentioned, the only one I find absolutely 'English' is Queen. The rest of them seem to be an anagram of their actual names or their names morphed into something else. A lot of well known designers go by their names or something afro centric. What's English about "Amanjide" or 'Maufechi'? Its neither here nor there abeg.
It may seem that the actual insecure person here is your friend who believes that unless she has an "english' name, she/he will not sell.
This is just crying foul over nothing.

Madam expatriate, In Nigeria it's improper.

Read my words carefully, I said at 30 marriage should be on the cards.
I said it ain't solely in her hands but it is a guaranteed solution to this problem.


Ok, Mr contemporary, give your input or face left.

Thanks, I likely realists.
A lot of us come online and form all Westernized, we can't be more catholic than the pope.

Right now I am considering writing a letter to their pastor to warn them. How can a group of adults, with the consent of the mother, destroy the reputation of an innocent girl? It's unforgivable and I won't sit and watch it.

Since the mother has given them green card, these people now create rumours at the slightest opportunity. Does it cost so much to have a heart to heart talk with your daughter?
