tpia:
really?

I thought he was Igbo, for real.

with some knowledge of Yoruba ( ie prior to this thread).

anyway, am out before PLC, oziomatv and other great defenders come around to sniff out Igbo haters. If you're not igbo you're not supposed to be on an Igbo thread.

tpia:
oh, I think I get it.

however, I thought it was "ngbo", not "igbo".

abeg all we non-Igbos shouldn't derail the thread o.

if PLC descends on all of una now.

If you don't stop this nonsense na me go descend on you!! why are you trying to bring trouble where there is none?

Better concentrate on the topic or leave if you don't have something positive to say. Abeg respect yourself

EXPONENT:
One thing WE ALL can agree on, It's better to be a Black American than an African.

shit, ya'll don't even have sidewalks, mass transportation, or a food-pantry where the homeless and hungry can get feed.

Blame YOUR thieving leaders.

WTF do you mean by that? It is a million times better to be an African than being a "black American" Mr. man!! African immigrants are better than you guys in your own country and with even a better shot at the white house. He was not an African American when he started campaining for the presidency, but now he's an African American and not an African immigrant.

And who told you we need a place where the homeless and hungry ones can eat? we are not that lazy like you people except countries where there are wars.

Are Continental Africans in America hungry and homeless? They are not because they get educated and work very hard to live a better life in a nation of opportunities, quite unlike their American brothers and sisters.

With all those things they put on their teeth they look like killed goats in a funeral

I dey greet una ohh

I know there are songs titled "don't take it personal"

one by Monica and another by Usher ft. Lue Diamond and many more

and there is a book called "don't take it personally" by Elayne Savage

So i need some good grammatical reasons why they are wrong

I am still waiting for answers too

BigSis:
I have noticed that many African women are bleached. Being an AA, I am used to seeing various hues of black folks among my own. A bleached skins just stands out. They have this unnatural skin coloring.

Also, I know what some AFricans refer to as light skin would not be considered light skinned in AA culture. In fact the most beautiful Naijas I have seen generally are dark brown and black complexed.

People are African descent are pretty much screwed up in de head. They have been taught to hate themselves and adore anything that is appears to African.

P.S. I do feel that it is people's right to identify how they want to. I am not African per se, but I am an amalgam of various African people from long ago. I consider myself a "new world" African of North America, specifically the US. I know that sounds like a contradiction. However, I don't have any emotional and psychological connection to any group on the African continent, but I acknowledge that I am a descendent of various AFricans who were brought to the US against their will. Because of our experiences and history, this make us a seperate and distinct ethnic group.

Dru you are right. African American popular culture influences the planet. We just got it like that! Yes the world knows who we are. This is why I feel that we have so much influence, and we need to use it more positively.

In reference to the Igbos, I heard that during the 300 transatlantic slave period it was customary for the big men to offer their women sexually to the white men who came to their territories. It is just a rumor. I don't know if there is any fact to it. Could it be that these women produced offsprings from their sexual encounters?

What a stupid post

All i can say is that it's common in my part of Igboland to call somebody "blacky" and sometimes in offensive ways

The reason is that we have more light skinned than dark skinned people but science will one day tell us why it is so in our part of Africa

I am light skinned and so do the rest of my family

I did not sell any slave, neither was i there when they were sold

Abeg Hero come answer your questions ohh!!, i dey wait

Why do African American ladies shake their heads and hands in a crazy way when talking like if they are dancing?

My brother wetin you wan make i talk?

I know there are songs titled "don't take it personal"

nwando:
thanks ufobabe.
where were you when they were crucifying me?

I am going home next week and i will not sample any girl

Radiant:
Prince of Nairaland,


Romeo, np Are you shocked at the crazy nicknames like u've forgotten your roots?

My people don't go with such names please

lami4life:
I've heard people make statements like "Don't take it personal". It should be "Don't take it personally".

Another commonly misused one especially in Naija is "join the bandwagon". You don't join the bandwagon, u either climb or jump on the bandwagon.

Will try to think of some more.

really?

Radiant:
Romeo, d'u know any "2pac" in GRA, Enugu? Or Mekina/Asprilla?

No i don't know people with such names

4 Play:
But Romeo,you go like make your daughter marry person wey be dishwasher? Talk true

Me,I dey tell Naija girls say na porn I dey do.They don't seem impressed,I wonder why.

I dey tell my daughter everyday say if she carry poor man enter my house i go take broom sweep the poor ass comot for my house , Lord have mercy on me

Dishwashing is a good thing though and i am not against people doing it but i want a stable inlaw

Na Naija we come from

4 Play:
I dey think of 404 sef. 406 na correct car na,maybe na the dishwasher thing discourage am.

Abeg make you dey visit Naija ohh!! which kind 404 be that? people don't drive such in Nigeria nowadays

Na the dish washer thing make am run 4 - 40, but she missed the big thing

4 Play:
@Romeo

Peugeot 406 and Mitsubishi bus? I would be very disappointed if my daughter married someone who drives a 406.

Its not about women being gold diggers,its not wanting to marry men who are not successful.Gold digging dey,but those girls had valid reasons to turn down your friend.

What car do you drive? 406 is a govt. car in Naija!! she could've been a proud owner of Range sport if she had married my friend.

nwando:
Romeo we go way back _{on nairaland}
are you telling me you don't know a few stories that fit the topic?
speak the truth and shame the devil

The point is that the girls are guilty and that majority of the boys coming home for marriage are not to blame

nwando:
The last time I said that I was accused of something

Ndo ohh

prince_onx:
Don't have anything agaist nobody! not mad about anything! but lets focus more on educating eachother rather painting the opposite black as if the other side is white!

who tell you say black is not a good paint?

komekn:
I know of a friend who literally married a prostitute, this is always the case when you are led by your flesh and not the spirit of God.

If you're Igbo and that your friend is based in Spain and Lagos then you are my friend too

I know a similar case

Radiant:
Romeo, you sure we don't know each other?

Hmmm could be possible dear, where are you from Radiant?

prince_onx:
Romeo help me tell them abeg! Now how do you describe this girl? if the guy tell her say him be international business man, importer and exporter, Doctor, and so on she go begin sing "I love you! I love you!!" while na gold she wan come dig! So does that mean every girl in Nigeria is like that? NO!

na today?

Not every girl in Nigeria is like that just like you stated but a good chunk of them are like that and the worst is that they enjoy the beautiful fantastic lies they are told

prince_onx:
Romeo where in Spain do you live? my younger brother just moved from Malaga to palma-mayoca (no mind spelling) and did you live in Jos too?

I am in Palma de Mallorca! I've never been to Jos

Radiant:
Romeo, good for your friend.

Are you an "Enugu boi"?

Born and bred nwata Enugu

I am still of the opinion that this thread is deceitful!!
Boys lie to ladies they only want to lay and ladies lie to men they want to lay, but when it's about marriage the people i know here do not lie about their status

My friend and i were home December 2006 and he met this pretty young girl from their state he wanted to marry, the girl came all the way from Jos to meet us in Enugu for the weekend and my friend wanted to appear as a simple guy and not a braggart as we are being painted here, we decided to leave our SUVs to look normal. He came with a Peugeot 406 and i came with a Mitsubishi L300 bus i brought home

The reason was because she was going to be told that he works as a dish washer , yeahh she was told and she never took my friends calls after that weekend till date . That was the best thing that happend to my friend, because he was actually making plans for the girl but the girl happened to be a gold digger that missed a profitable gold mine.

If he had wanted to show off like the thread suggests, we could've swept her off the ground with a convoy of SUVs and enough money to throw around but the guy wanted to look plain and so do all my friends when it's all about marriage

If na party time we can oppress

Enugu is cool and bubbling!! no crime at all and that's for the fear monger called Carmelily

ehmm for where dey get 3 lane for enugu? i know see am ohh

nwando:
you weren't yet born in the late eighties?
I remember attending functions then quite well
We're not all 18 and 19.

So sweet to be 18 you know

nwando:
I know a similar case.
I attended the traditional wedding with my parents in the late 80's and the guy never came home again.
She remarried later in the 90's thank God.

How baby come enter your name? 80's and 90's na old skool , na wa oooo

darfur:
this thread don change. wetin happen

The site na Army barracks now

almondjoy:
I hope Nigerian "top" politicians are watching this. Not that they would care. See country wey dey produce oil? Cannot even take care of it's citizens. See Lagos like a war torn zone.

They are too busy debating who will get the next oil block

I will support the online petition if the petition is not about "if Imo state Gov. could commit crime in Lagos" but why should a governor do such and get away with it if it's true anyway!!

I can still start my own online petition for the Imo state governor's right to commit crime in Lagos

zillaxy:
this is for Mr UK (4 play) who made his crazy generalization. there are no prostitutes roaming the streets in my state oo.
just because something is the norm in some parts of lagos or other big cities in southern Nigeria does not mean it happens everywhere in nigeria.
Ignoramous!

where dis one come from?

No be small Anna and Joy

That part 2 was a disgrace
