You just keep wallowing in self hate, and continue justifying your mess with "if only"s. I'm not Nigeria so don't direct your rage at me like a 12 year old. I'll make the best of wherever I find myself rather than blame Nigeria for every flu and make irrational vindications for my penury.

And read your post again to see if it is at all logical
"U fought so hard to keep the East yet u gave up part of the East without the consent of those ppl to keep what? OIL"

Any easterner Ibibio, Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni is Nigerian!

They are east of Nigeria for peace sake. Biafra is just some foolishness thats never happening. Nigeria gave Bakassi to Cameroon to defeat biafra? who cares about biafra. . . its not recognized.

Nigeria is a joke; biafra is even bigger. ^{note the lowercase}

I've met people from all over, not one AA. Tried meeting a few online- no comment

Almond Joy!!! ^j/k

Marry me

Unreasonable

Omo, Il rather grow tatase at the backyard of opomulero comprehensive grammer school down the corner at Adigbe junction.

blind wits. religion without rationality makes you beasts

i dont know what the extra flurry is about

and here we go with the biafra folly

Good advise Sapphic.
^{thats one long parenthesis though}

It can only be one of four things

You've not been in Nigeria for up to 6 months straight
You were never in a Nigerian boarding school
You are not Nigerian
You've oozed disturbing wealth all your life

Yeah the matter has been resolved long ago: AAs do not lack values and culture. Any African who thinks so is as ignorant as an AA who can't remotely guess where South Africa is on the map.

Educate yourselves. One love

that'll be 'no gari dey here sef' in nig pidgin

unfortunately, no garri in bdos. I'll really pay 20bucks for a cup rite now; and another 20 for 3 indomie noodles

roasted

yea impossibly diverse religiously (more muslim than xtian jus for ur info)

Mohawkchik u've tried gari, but without peanuts? atrocity!!

A letter sounds good, but he could get offended so u'll have to ask him. You should ask why he doesn't want you to visit with him. What's his reaction when you bring up the visiting topic? because its only ideal that you go with him, or else there's something fishy. . . It gives you the opportunity to get to know his background, learn about Nigeria; prove yourself to his parents- thats something he just can't do. If he can't give concrete reasons why he doesn't want you to go, then  .

If he's serious, you'll av 2 go sooner or later, d sooner the better.

About how to approach, I'm sure you women know how to do your thing (silent treatment, romance n all, can't say). But if he keeps flaring up and can't open up to you and tell you everything his parents are saying about the issue before you get married, then i don't know.

was wonderin why you're bitter twards liberia

wheres coldplay

all good garri should be sour

yeah i dont understand that either. . .

i dont make any sense of the black thing. bow wow?

where are you from shenanigan

i dont know why i think the composition of artistes is plain wrong

btru thought bout visiting nigeria?

Ok now let me put myself in his shoes. If i fall in love with an aa, and I get engaged, my family would have some reservations- mostly because of the prejudice that AAs would most likely be disrespectful and cultureless (which of course is outright wrong). A guy like me- and most likely like your fiance- have very close ties with family, and owe everything to them; and I would be in a serious quandary having to choose between you and them. I honestly wouldn't know what to do; I'll just keep trying to persuade my family as to how much you have character and values, and how being an AA has nothing to do with personality. I know one thing though: it would be extremely difficult for me to go ahead with that marriage if i don't have the slightest go-ahead from my family; and it has nothing to do with being weak, its just how much I owe them. I say you stay really close to him right now; give him every reason to try to make it work. That marriage wouldn't work if he has to choose you over his family, cos he'll spend everyday pointing at reasons why he shouldn't have done that.

Whats with all the yoruba this and that   . . . you couldn't have possibly met enough yorubas to establish such stereotype, just as theres no way i could possibly meet enough african-americans to conclude that most of them are gang-bangers. I'm yoruba, and I hardly know of such reputation. May God forgive you.

@ poster: Just pray, be patient, and be really careful. If you can't get to know his background, then you are going nowhere.

but where's gari's origin? do liberians import from naija or? hows ghana gari different from naijas?
