Culture / Re: First Generation Nigerians In The Diaspora And Self Esteem. by oyinda3(f): 12:47pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
do you mean 2nd generation? children born abroad right? I think those families need to get rid of the lofty expectations they are placing on their kids. If you want your son or daughter to speak your native language, like the food etc, then send them to nigeria and let them grow up there. many parents do that. they send the kids to school in naija for a few yrs to get acculturated. the biology and genetic make up maybe hereditary but the culture is always product of environment. I agree that many of these kids are caught up in between two worlds. but it's not their fault.
something you need to consider the fact that many of the hispanics and chinese don't speak english as an official language in their country so their english is very limited. so of course their children have to learn their native language in order to be able to communicate with them. The only case where i've seen a nigerian child abroad speaking fluent yoruba is because the parents brought the grandma to live with the family. this grandma is illiterate and doesn't speak english so the kids were forced to learn yoruba as their first language. Imagine these young nigerian american kids of about 6-8yrs who have never been to nigeria speaking a dialect of yoruba that only elderly people in the village speak. so i guess a way to help kids learn the language is to bring a grandparent or illiterate relative to live with you and babysit your kids from early childhood. these kids will learn in no time!! in fact, yoruba or igbo may end up being their first/native language. |

Family / Re: Husband Slapped Me Over An Argument by oyinda3(f): 12:17pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
maybe NL guys can come out to help out. has he gotten better since the first time? at least a little bit better? maybe it's a gradual process for him. |
Family / Re: Husband Slapped Me Over An Argument by oyinda3(f): 12:11pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
here's the sexuality board: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-28.0.html romance board: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-21.0.html internet is obviously unanimous so if you can't find a topic that helps, you can create one. but i'm sure there was one similar topic or so. lol You should also try confiding on someone about this. maybe your closest friend (you said you told your friends right?) maybe they have had more experiences and might have advice on how you can help your husband out. I really feel he also is not feeling too happy about the situation. |
Family / Re: Husband Slapped Me Over An Argument by oyinda3(f): 12:03pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
unsuregirl: have you ever slept with another man beside him? you said you waited until marriage right? so you don't know for sure if he's "good" at it or not in comparison to other men. and you say he's 25. he seems pretty young. I think there was a similar topic a while ago. try going on the romance and sexuality board and doing a search. Have you had a discussion with him about this? what does he usually say. I know probably an angry response from him but what does he say? kinda ironic. lol esp. if you consider the african guy stereotype and why foreign girls go for them. most people around you will assume things not knowing you are not getting any. |

Educating us on our legal rights I think is the best contribution any government or private agency can offer towards curtailing these abuses. It will yield more dividends than concentrating on the present approach that is largely post-mortem and very costly. do we even have legal rights? for example, what is being done to punish this DPO? has he been removed from office? what are they doing to FIND and arrest the runaway lady? |
Family / Re: Is It Right For A Dad To Go Through His Daughter's Phone? Could He Be Any More Overbearing? by oyinda3(f): 5:07pm On Jan 01, 2011 |
Atreides, how old are you? you seem like a good girl who just wants your privacy. Most nigerian parents do not understand that. They do not even understand the word privacy. lol.Just make sure to stay out of trouble and give them enough reason to trust and respect you and soon they'll be out of your way. |

Romance / Re: White Or Black Girls,who show more Affection by oyinda3(f): 4:55pm On Jan 01, 2011 |
tpia1: lol. beats me too. I don't think it's a nigerian men issue. It's a black men issue in general. they have failed in most areas of life. so why not give them a pass in the only area they are successful at - sleeping around or getting girls. lol many men need at least need something to be proud of or boast about (even if it's attention they get from foreign girls). otherwise, they loose all self dignity. who knows many of the black men in prisons or criminals we have in the street won't be there if they were getting "affection" from someone. |
Family / Re: Is It Right For A Dad To Go Through His Daughter's Phone? Could He Be Any More Overbearing? by oyinda3(f): 10:58pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
oyb: so what's the purpose of your dad still going through your wallet at your age. is he still trying to "protect" you? or he's just developed a nosy habit lol my parents can be like that at times too. lol I agree though. parents are looking out for the best for their children. esp. teenage years that are generally d most tumultuous. but i still feel sympathy for the OP. eeya she will grow out of it eventually. |

Food / Re: Do You Eat Three Times Daily (breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)? by oyinda3(f): 10:06pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
depends. sometimes i eat 3x a day. sometimes I don't. I think one should use their best judgment when it comes to food. do what's best for your body and your health. |
Family / Re: Is It Right For A Dad To Go Through His Daughter's Phone? Could He Be Any More Overbearing? by oyinda3(f): 9:58pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
@OP, I totally sympathize with you. I don't think it's right for your dad to be going through your phone. next time, use a password setting. I'm sure your phone has one of those. mbulela: poor girl. why don't he help her put it on. mtchewww. |
Culture / Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by oyinda3(f): 9:38pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
the polygamy thing is more common with yoruba muslims. It has more to do with their religion. Although there are many yoruba muslims who are monogamous esp. in lagos. for divorce, I think it's higher among yorubas mostly because yoruba women are very strong headed compared to women of other tribes. like base1 already said, we are generally independent and self sufficient (at least compared to others in the country) so it is easier to walk out of an unsatisfactory marriage. There are many women who stay in polygamous marriages and like it though. marriage is different for everyone. In fact I heard that some rich man might buy a house for each of his wives and provide all her needs. He will visit once in a while. Many women don't mind this independent life in polygamy. |
Health / Re: Rate Yourself: How Healthy Do You FEEL? by oyinda3(f): 5:29pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
@vipico and romeo, good for you. I'm glad and very happy for you. for those of us that can't afford all these specialists and physicians to tell us 24/7 what we should be feeling, let us assess our health here and talk about how we FEEL* now let the topic continue in peace. thank you. @topic, i feel 7/10 healthy today. slept like a baby and went for a long walk yesterday. my new years resolution is to eat more vegetables and learn how to eat better. * i'm just so sorry that the word "feel" offends some of you. that's too bad. skip and go on to the next topic if you don't like it. |
Family / Re: My Wife Lied To Me About Her Age by oyinda3(f): 5:16pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
@poster best post so far. OP is very shallow. wife lying about her age is not reason for divorce. but if this revelation will continue to give him nightmares for the rest of his life, then I will advice him to get a divorce. for him and his wife's sake. but he should make sure to check new wife's birth certificate. lhahahah |

Health / Re: Rate Yourself: How Healthy Do You FEEL? by oyinda3(f): 12:55pm On Dec 30, 2010 |
VIPICO: this topic is more about how you feel about your health. . your doctor cannot feel your headache, stomach pains, leg pain. Your doctor does not experience your weight gain, weigh loss, diarrhea and car accidents with you. So even doctors cannot truthfully and effectively rate your health. They cannot read your mind and know what you are feeling just by looking at you. Even for babies, parents have to explain to the doctor what is wrong with their child. I feel sorry for you if you think doctors know it all. I've visited doctors so many times to know that they are not omnipotent. The best doctors are those that can communicate well with patients.It is all up to you to gauge the severity of your pains and health and communicate this well with your doctor so that he/she can diagnose you effectively. besides, will you visit a doctor in the first place if you feel 10/10 healthy? ppl only go to the doctor when they [b]feel [/b]unhealthy. so plz. rate yourself. how do you feel about your health on a scale of 1-10? |

lagbaja20: wow. how could anyone find Ake boring . do you read literature or just non-fiction. you seem like someone who prefers non-fiction maybe that's why. Ake reads like fictional literature. very prose like. I loved it. the book is not about soyinka himself but rather more about the context. nigeria in the 1930s and 40s and just the culture in general. One of the main reasons I loved it was because it made me feel like I was in Nigerian in 1930s and what daily life was like in abeokuta during that time. especially colonial life in Nigeria through the lens of a child. In fact, it's one of the few books I would love to re-read again in the future. |

Kilode?!: lol if he does. I don't consider him to be a coward either. In fact, he was the only one I could think of that champions yoruba culture. that reminds me. Ake by wole soyinka is a wonderful book/autobiography. lagbaja u shld read it if you already haven't. it reads like literary fiction so it goes by fast. |

lagbaja20: thnx so MKO is a "modern day" aare. he was an ambassador. what criteria defined the past ones? what are the profiles of the past ones. to me generalissimo doesn't seem to be a fitting word for MKO. although it might have been for the past chiefs. I would nominate wole soyinka as a yoruba ambassador. what do you think? olabukola: co-sign. this is mostly because now, yorubaland as a political entity doesn't really exist anymore. it is merely a shadow of what it used to be. That title belong in another era. not really relevant for today. lol |
