Soyinka is usually 99% on point. One of the few Nigerians with any sense.

u can date her but make it as coded as possible and only let ur friend know when u are ready to marry her.

MRbrownJAY:
dont listen to the nonsense the earlier poster wrote. nobody knows why he didnt tell his parents about you but chances are that he is no ready yet. not all parents are welcoming as yours. in Nigeria, unless a person is looking at marriage, they wont introduce the girl to their parents. thats an old fashion thingy. therefore if you have been dating for only 3months, then he is probably not certain of where you guyz are heading and probably needs more time to decide if your are worthy of meeting the parents.
as for the difference of cultures, nobody can truly say. there are parents who will have absolutely no problems with it while others would never allow it. it all depends on how open minded the parents are.
if he is born and raised outside of 9ja then you will have much more chances than if he's just arrived freshly from 9ja.

@vigasimple,
I'm not an agent of PDP or any sort of party whatever, but i'm not suprised at Soyinka's blatant scolding of Nigeria and Kenya for institutionalising irregularity and fraudlent means of coming into power, he's a social critic but reading Falana's view on the issue, it suprises me that Soyinka should have looked at it from the point of view of Falana's. Egypt doesn't promote democracy of any sort, Mubarak has been in power for as long as i remember, so does the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but Obama has visited 'em both. There are underlining issues that need to come to fore other than the aforementioned. I think it's beyond Nigeria being corrupt, which of course is true.

Kobojunkie:
@Vigasimple, you seriously believe the PDP is the ONLY party responsible for all this crap? Isn't that as ridiculous as believing that only the Republicans voted for the IRAQI and Afghan wars? Come on!!! We need to open our eyes to the fact that the PDP, AC and other parties in Nigeria are responsible for the situation.

confrenzy:
its not gud because of the golden rule which says do unto oto others as u would like others to do unto you.

Kobojunkie:
The only and major reason why Obama could open his mouth to speak of this is because

a) He is of African descent
b) He is black in America


If none of these applied, he would have been STONED for such statements, even though we all know it is the truth and has been the truth for all this time.

@ samparian  and walakolobo

Thanks for you guys comment. OBAMA has said his own, if we like, let us blame the whole world for whatever the problem, as far as that which we should be concerned about, is finding solutions to our present predicament.

I have said it before, and I will repeat it again

1. LEADERSHIP
2. CORRUPTION
3. TRIBALISM
4. DIVERSION FROM REAL ISSUES- which Falana has now become part of.

I can continue with intellectual debate which is enriching BUT  i must consider FOOD NOW ON THE TABLE FOR THE HUNGRY and build infrastructures, systems and institutions of the future so that this generation and the ones yet to be born will see a future and have a sense of direction.

FALANA  is a waste of a space, OBAMA is the real deal and that is why he is today the President of the United State.

We in the South of Nigeria have too much academic knowledge and practical  little real world knowledge (the North posses that abundantly- they have used that to obtain or retain political power)
