@anonymous6 Thank you I feel very relieved to know that!! Thanks for your input!

@Siena, thanks! But do you have any thoughts or opinions you would like to share with me?

I am Nigerian-American and I wanted to get an honest opinion of how Nigerians who were born and bred in Nigeria views us (Naija-Americans) especially in the dating pool. Just to give a brief bio, my father is Nigerian and my mom was African-American (may God continue to keep her soul in perfect peace) I am a female and recently began to embrace my heritage and culture about 4years ago. I also don't know my father's language fully but I do know a few greetings (I know that doesn't count) . I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to settle down with an African-American guy due to the fact that I would like my future kids to have a solid foundation and roots on where they come from. I have visited Nigeria before and I feel as though I could settle down there once I retire. I have also dated a Nigerian and had a great experience and that is why I am wondering how we fit in especially those of us who were not brought up in Nigeria and were not taught the culture, language, customs, and heritage. Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

It is definitely weird meeting or dating someone whom you met online. However, in this day and age, since most of our time is spent being entertained, or work perhaps with the help of the internet it is possible you may meet someone worthy to date. I would suggest that you take your time in knowing the person, if you perhaps, have scoped out someone you might like on the internet. As you know, there are plenty of people who lie about what they do and who they are. If you spark with someone, just let it flow, anything is possible these days!! Good Luck

@ Ms. Potato

You are joking right? You cant be serious

I was scheduled to be there during the parade but ended up going to the Nigerian Soccer Tournament in Houston. Very nice video
