according to the book Immigration in America Today: An Encyclopedia- between 1900 and 1950, only 31,000 Africans immigrated to America.


most of these were probably not Nigerians.

so i guess its safe to assume the period of particular interest would be 1950 to 1967 perhaps.

and the first (documented) nigerian born on american soil in the twentieth century, to nigerian parents, was probably in the early 70s?

anonymous6: I never heard of or know of nigerians American citizens that existed around that time but it's possible

i have literally never met any.

However it's unlikely cause Nigerians were more interested in England then going to America then.

england and to some extent, the rest of europe.

bigfrancis21: The country Nigeria only became a republic as recently as in 1960. There were not much international travels to US then as you have now.

true

However during 1967 - 1970, some Biafrans were airlifted to US by Charity airplanes on charity mission to Biafra. I suppose a few Nigerian-Biafrans may have been born in US during that 3-year timeframe.

unless they were of child bearing age and got pregnant during that time, not sure how it would be possible.

seems some nigerians were in the US just before the start of the war, and stayed through the hostilities, but there is little known about them.


people from SE, SS, etc.

so i guess the question is, who is the oldest nigerian child born in the US from maybe the 1920s until now? (or born in the twentieth century in the US).

is there any clue?

^ the airlift consisted of mostly children, i think.



they wouldnt start having their own babies in the countries they were airlifted to, until much later.

I'm trying to see if there were either no nigerians (or nigerian couples) in the US in the sixties/fifties/forties/thirties,etc, or the ones who were there prior to the 70s, didnt have kids in the country.

Its a rather unusual situation because the same didnt apply in europe, especially britain.


this strange silence means either there are none, or any of such, integrated wholly into their environments and left no visible trace.

rationalmind: half of edo

edo is strongly catholic.

not sure what the numbers are, but after the SE, either edo or SS has the most catholics.

Yes, obasanjo is a pastor too.

I guess the op conveniently forgot that.

You invited him to shrine, seems you are not sure exactly where you want to go?

visasubagent: Handsome pastors? Nawao , next will be most handsome monks and nuns.

Most handsome rev fathers.

aryzgreat: Imagine comparing handsomeness and sexiness of pastors?

Danger everywhere.

Satan is really determined to reap his harvest from the churches.

Although, some pastors sha, dem no be 'eran riro' o. When they are done with you , you'll wonder what hit you. Not every pastor is meek, gentle and pacifist.

Vanity upon Vanity all is Vanity.

True that.

It depends on your level.

orobs93: - never believed muslims eat wat we eat....

Seriously, this is a very d.umb statement.

What were you thinking when you posted it?

Well, its not today actors have been branching out into other fields?

Dunno if most pastors realize they are under attack.

I guess a few of them do.

Shouldn't it be obvious eating is the main answer to your question?

And, imagine putting edo as #9 and leaving out ekiti completely?

The question should be which southeast (or southsouth) state is the most catholic.


Nlers like making up imaginary lists based on faulty, biased and incomplete observations.


Thread will soon appear on front page I'm sure.

2prexios: Thanks for this @fulaman, old pal. God bless our native Africa. The throngs are on their way. Happy sunday and make sure you go to church/shrine this morning: Christ love you (as much as em, the ancestors) Peace.

Church or shrine?

Here we go again.

Next step: how to seduce a pastor and destroy his calling.

I guess people are so used to seeing singlet et al on men, that they don't know simply paying some attention to your dressing and appearance, will make you look handsome?


Very shallow thread.

interesting, i thought there were a lot more yoruba threads btw.


guess the shutdown took some.

.

thanks.

In short, you were in situations where being introverted was not an option.

baby124: so that they will not end up messing up a good name out of entitlement. .

hmmm


but what qualifies a name as "good" or "bad", all things being equal, ie barring criminal activity, debauchery, etc.

serious responders only please

I am covered by the blood of Jesus, every weapon directed against me, back to sender in Jesus name. Amen.

tpia1: were any US citizen nigerian kids born to nigerian parents in the US prior to that decade?

just curious, nobody seems to be coming to mind.


has anyone heard of such instances, or has there been any famous nigerian who was born in the US before 1970?

Olarewajub: I'm gradually over coming stage fright.

share the steps you took, thanks?
