MissMeiya:you're not of mixed heritage in the context of the thread, if both your parents are from the same tribe. your context would be mixed heritage by nationality, not tribe. |

Chiamaka01: Aren't there more mixed heritage NLers?imo, mixed nairalanders probably make up about 30%, (could be higher), but most of them prefer to keep low profiles. some non-mixed also pretend to be mixed, for reasons best known to them (it IS nairaland after all, fake monikers/personas are a bit on the high side). 3 Likes |

Aye!Leave the OP alone, it's her thread after all, this is the first time I've seen a thread dedicated to mixed tribal/heritage Nigerians. There are threads already that are dedicated to IR and mixed race Nigerians, so go there. I find the OP's thread interesting 8 Likes 1 Share |

It's more interesting this way isn't it? My dad is Egun (Lagos) and my mum is Ibibio (from Akwa Ibom) but we all speak Yoruba and English. My brother married an Ikwerre lady (Rivers) and my fiancee is Bini.We're Nigerian like that 10 Likes |

Racist!this matter is paining you so much, what a pity. misplaced aggression, hope you're not depressed. anyway, I've pulled some some mixed race threads for you, check my previous post.

PAGAN9JA: Thats the only language left for you.Not always true. I'm a mix myself and I speak fluent Yoruba along with some Efik. It depends on the parents' willingness to pass down their cultural context and awareness. And by the way, the current cultures and languages here came from interaction and mixing with others as well. For example the word for 'onion' in Yoruba, 'Alubosa' is actually a Hausa word which was adopted after interaction with the Hausa people. Culture is fluid, not static. Don't be afraid of change. As long as that basic African awareness is incorporated into the new culture, we're good to go. It's better to have an English speaking generation of Nigerians who respect their Africanness and prosper with mutual cooperation than millions of native language dolts who kneel to foreign gods and destroy their own economy by chasing imports and foreign fads, which is what we have currently. 10 Likes |
