NO GREEN CARDS HERE, HE DIDNT SEE ME FOR 8 MONTH COS HE WAS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY AND WEN HE CAME BACK I DIDN T WANT TO START OUR RELATIONSHIP AGAIN
HE WAS COMING EVERY DAY TO MY WORK TRYING TO CHANGE MY MIND.
HE KNEW ALSO THAT ANOTHER GUY WANTED TO BE WIT ME TOO.
BUT WAS STILL LOVED HIM AND WE STARDET AGAIN
HE STARTED USIN BIBLE TO PROMISE DAT HE IS MINE AFTER ASK TO TAKE AN OATS
IT HAPPEN LIKE DAT

well, maybe he really likes you but you dont have to take an oath to prove your love.

it sounds like he wants to tie you down. Any reason he should be afraid of losing you? are you his meal ticket? greencard hope? what?

the truth is that nigerian guys dont even give flowers! You cant accept what you arent given.

good one. hehehe!

your point is exactly??

Firstly you make reference to Nigerians born in this country look down' . For the benefit of myself and others could you provide us your relevant and accurate source of information backing this.?

Also This post is about Nigerians or Africans adapting the mentioned accents and mannerisms

From reading through the views and comments written by others YOU yourself can see this evedent amongst the society.

If I have to put in any thing personal about my self my dear when i schooled over there for the relevant short time I had the micky taken out of my accent all the time why because i was 'born over here and spoke differently to my other school mates However I didnt feel the NEED to copy an accent I was comfortable in myself and who I was brought up to be!!!!

I'm sorry to say its true what the topic reads just a shame you have decided to come up with your response.

Guys lets keep to the topic and not bring in cultural issues and em barresing statements to cause disruption amongst our own : For the purpose to cause what??

Dont see what you are getting touchy about! No seriously if you think i was refering to you in my post i wasnt. (Dont know you and dont know how you sound!)
I am posting from my own experiences. I am Nigerian. I sound Nigerian. A lot of the people who make fun of the way i sound are nigerians. Mostly those who sound american or British. If i was fickle and bothered by their jesting i would have started aping the way they talk trying to put on an american accent just to 'belong'. isnt that why you started this thread? To find out if it was necessary to adapt a foreign accent?

i lost my virginity at the age of 15. though he was 18 then. i'm still in love with him. it all depends on love. follow your heart big brother

Did you say follow your heart? This heifer has got to be kidding me!!!  
A fifteen year old has no business having sex. The repercussions and responsibilities that come with it is beyond what they can manage. You did it at 15. Good for you ma'am!  It doesnt mean you should encourage every pervert and pedophile to go indulging his desires.

shame on you for entertaining those thoughts towards a 16 year old. karma is a bitch. may you have many daughters!  

BOTH

Taking a blood oath is not really a nigerian tradition. It is a spiritual thing. Dont do it. I think your word is enough. You dont have to make any promise backed by blood. If at any time you change your mind about being with him, a lady is allowed to change her mind.

I agree with davidylan.
Nigerians born or raised in the u.s or the Uk tend to 'look down' on the accents of other nigerians. I find it really amusing because they actually think they are better than you.

When i first moved here i lived with my cousins who sound american. They teased me no end about sounding nigerian. They tried to get me to sound more american (whatever that means!) My english is very sound and will put Enid Blyton (Rest her soul) to shame . Davidylan was right when he said that the real americans or British dont care about your accent. They actually like it. Its only the Nigerians who 'know too much' that make an issue about it.
My clients like my accent. They try to guess where im from. Ive had them guess Jamaica, france, south africa and even Britain. They are fascinated and i must confess that i use it to my advantage everytime!

Even though my cousins sound american their spoken grammar leaves a lot to be desired and the written one will just make you cringe in horror. All the gonnas and wannas and y'alls interjected with aints will leave you dizzy and erupting in shame pox.

i just told them "If i woke up tomorrow sounding like you, i would kill myself"
They got the message!!!!

why do you think no one else has posted?
They probably didnt understand your rambling sweetie. I honestly did try but seems to me you dont have a real problem.

lots of nigerians overseas will try to sound american or british. Its amusing to listen to them. I guess they do it for acceptance or something. They insist that's the only way they can be understood when they speak. They just sound demented. I just think it would be really absurd if every single person on earth sounded american or british or western. Diversity is beauty.

blah blah blah!

definitely a draw! just kidding!
why cut off your nose to spite your face?

funyin:
Bia forget, The Igbos no get respect. Period!!!

- They talk to elderly people the way they like, call their father's mate by name.

I'll keep it simple. This is an ignorant post.
you think the only way to show respect is by rolling in the dust?    or putting aunty and brother in front of evrybody's name? come on now!!! You know better than that.

ima1:

@POSTER

You are lucky you have one who plays it safe.

Many 'husbands' can be careless _{worse still, you will never know.}

you call this luck?

haba davidylan,
wetin britgirlee do you now?

invite us to the wedding. i like dressing up.

even christian brodas wan chop your yam? wonders oh!

you dont understand your closest female friend and i dont understand yourpost!

The question should be "what is the father's motive for coming back after so many years"?
Its not always with good intentions you know. All the people yelling a child needs his father! A child needs his father! should realize that if a father abandons a child and doesnt contribute to his upkeep for reasons best known to him then maybe he doesnt have any virtues to impart to the child. What is he going to teach his son when his son finally gets to sit at his feet?

chucket:
I am not in nigeria but in the UK.What baffles me is that
the GPs here seem not to know enough about the management.

Sickle cell is a black man's disease. for some reason it doesnt plague white people thats why they may not know a lot about it. But i wish you the best and you may not even have a sickle cell child. My husband's brother defied his family and married his sweetheart. They are both AS. They have 2 sons. none sicklers! much to the relief of his whole family.

britgirlee:
hey spoilt

you have your views ad its respected but will you really put up and shut up

Well i never! Put up and shut up? Hells no!
Ive sacrificed much and worked up a lot of sweat to get my marriage to where it is. The day loverboy 'mr spoilt'
decides that it will take two women to make him happy is the day i take my bow. I am self sufficient with my whole life ahead of me. I seriously cant have another heifer grazing on my turf.

Why is it that men get women pregnant, disappear from the surface of the earth when the child needs them the most only to resurface when the kids are grown up teenagers or older trying to claim them and trying to manufacture a relationship out of thin air?

mamaput:
The day a husband takes a new wife, there is nothing the old wife can do about it,
she can only accept or go thats the sad truth.

There's something she can do. She can leave! Not everyone wants to be part of a circus.

@ manuch
im not a doctor but a year is rather too soon to start fretting.
