AtlanticBreeze: lol. sign up for igbo classes then.

That is an obvious solution. Unfortunately there aren't any in my area.

I'm an American who recently feel in love with an Igbo man.Unfortunately I made a mistake, nothing too bad, yet bad enough to make him want to end things. We spoke of marriage, children, house, breed of pets and Traditional weddings, and I regret ruining something so speacial to me..I know I was wrong and I know that only time will tell wether he can trust me enough to continue the relationship but in the mean time I'd like to shower him with Quest for forgivness, and Love declarations in his native language.

I'd truly appreciate if my fellow NLer's could share a few ways on how to profess you love as well as ask for forgivness in Igbo..........the only one I know is " A furu m gi n'anya".

Thanks in advance

And no, I'm really not nigerian.Couldnt even fake it if I tried.I just love Nigerian culture, and I'm seriously dating an Igbo man.Nairaland is a great source of info and insight into Nigerian culture and ways of Nigerian people, to an extent at least.lol

Translated as:
Every Morning,
You are the very first thing that comes on my mind
Any time i sleep its only you i see

Baby do not leave me
My whole heart is with you
The love i have for you is like an endless stream
Your gait, the way you talk and your behaviour has no comparaison
Its only you that i know, it is only you that i love

Will you be my wife?

You really just saved my life with this!!!!

priest2u:
Hi African queen, are u still in cali?

Yes, why do you ask?

I'm Quee , pronounced Kay.I'm an American, born and raised in California.Originally from NorCal-Bay Area.Now residing in SoCal -Los Angles.

I have no idea!!!!!! This has happened to me, with an Ibo man, whose my first relationship with someone from another nationality (I'm American).I initially was weary of him, and although I had strong feelings that felt premature, I knew that he cared for me, not by his words, but by his actions.

At the end of it all, only time will show his true intentions and wether what he says is in accordance with how he trully feels.

The biggest burden the of being attractive, is the intial underestimation of your intelligence. They just take you for a pretty face, and are ignorant to the fact that beauty can accompany brains.Beauty is an advantage in many situations, but it trully isn't everything!

cold:
Seriously what is wrong with you?Someone is being pummelled to her death & you're asking her to pray even harder.Oma se o!

There is obviously an illiteracy issue with the memebers on this site.Before quoting my comment, please read thoroughly and carefully

Mr knowitall.:


what kinda advice is this? what if he beats her while shes praying? silly advice

Of course she should pray and seek divine guidance.I didn't say that she should pray and nothing else.I said that she should also follow the logical advice that she would dole out to her own daughter, if she was to find herself in a similar situation, God forbid.

Please do not attempt to ridicule my advice by only focusing on one aspect of my comment.If what I am writing displeases you, do better by giving more sound advice.

In all situations, negative and positive, prayer is a key component.This is my opinion, and if yours differs, well good for you.Last I checked you did not pay my bills, and I don't pay yours.No love lost nor gained

Pray pray pray, and pray some more.......
You don't deserve this form of treatment.Who cares whatbothers say.In the end off all things said, what would you tell your daughter to do if she was in such a situation
There lies your answer.
Blessings to you my dear, you are in my prayers
