if the apartment is "her" apartment then it's assumed the man has his own apartment somewhere.

does he not? huh

Lol, I know I'm stubborn hahahahah but I haven't seen a conclusive evidence to show me there is a Nigerian look though hahaha,

This guy here is Jamaican. Now how do I know without patois if I see him in Nigeria?
some jamaicans look nigerian or african, some look indian, some look asian or chinese, some are or look white/middle eastern, no biggie.

@9jaganja

some jamaicans look like nigerians but the example you posted does not.

if you mistake that guy for a nigerian then you're on your own and God help you.



My point is that no look is exclusive to Nigerians but I hear the Nigerian look a lot!!
you're wrong and also very stubborn.

so are you saying people mentioning the nigerian look do not know what they're seeing? huh

we're not talking of photoshop or plastic surgery plz. undecided

you're the one who doesnt know what nigerians look like but are accusing those who do.

9jaganja:
But is his look exclusive to Nigeria? As in will you call his look the Nigerian look?
he looks nigerian.

if he were darker you wouldnt be so confused.

the only thing i'm not sure of is if he's just lightskinned or has the albinic trait, barring white ancestry.

Now, Lemar Obika's look is found among Africa Americans and Among Jaimacans How can you tell a Jaimacan from Nigerian? lol Seriously maybe it's me cause I'm I see similar faces among all black people from Nigeria to brazil!!

Now there are African Americans with Lemar's kind of eyes so what I'm saying is, his look is not exclusive to Nigerians but he is a full Nigerian,
lemar obika looks nigerian.

not sure why you think he doesnt.

all the people you mentioned, have african ancestry so why wouldnt many of them look african generally speaking? huh

And why would his children have albinism or redbone gene?
because he has it.

it doesnt mean they'll be albinos or redbones per se, just that they're likely to have the gene.

look at this guy for example [hope they're still together]

his kids would likely have an albinism or redbone gene, if he has no white ancestry.

most of the ones oyinbo slept with, relocated mainly to fernando po island, so much of the biracial looking might be coming from that area.

at least that one is verifiable, documented and recorded history.

all other biracially looking with no clear reason for the look, then no wahala.

note, i said no clear reason.

9jaganja:
Does she have the "Nigerian look"?
Exactly!!!
yes, she has the nigerian look.

Lemar Obika? Does he have the Nigerian look? He is fully Nigerian you know,
what's un-nigerian about his look? huh

greenish eyes?  huh

when you see things like that you're supposed to know it could mean such people's kids might have an albinism trait. Note, i said might.


At least do well to show me how I contradicted my self
if you were raised or spent time in england while growing up, your ways wont be exactly the same as if you were raised wholly in nigeria.





Now if Nigerians can tell who looks bi racial from someone who is bi racial, how do you explain my case where I am like many other Nigerian without biracial back ground?
if you look biracial, like i said before, and there are no such features in any member of your extended family on both sides, then no wahala. Read between the lines sweetie.



NOTE: I'm happy Nigerians never asked if I'm mixed though they assume I'm Igbo lol!!!
some nigerians do that with lightskinned people.

also, your features might not look yoruba because being lightskinned doesnt automatically mean you look igbo.
Culture › Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 3:58am On Aug 05, 2011
Now, I'm saying, if there is any look exclusive to Nigerians, I will be identified as mixed race in Nigeria because I'm at the border line between Afin and oyinbo,
most times nigerians can tell the difference between a directly biracial person and someone who just looks biracial.


if you look biracial and there's no one in your extended family on both sides with similar features, then no wahala.




That I lived in England/US didn't take away from my Yoruba culture cause that's how mama raised me,  so it couldn't have been the way I behaved that made them call me oyinbo pepper
you're contradicting yourself.


How would you describe Regina Akia?
what about regina askia?

@tpia:probably nigerians behind it.

a lot of ghanaians have nigerian friends
.

stop this nonsense word, why cant you condem the stupeed guy and his song. instead of trying to find nigerians faulty of his fuulishness. did you hear any place the guy mention that his nigerian friends told him the trash he vomits.
why are we always unpatrotic? Tpia am disapointed in you for just that line.
it's clear that ghananian's hate nigeria and liberia.
am even blaming southwestern governor's for deporting a fellow west african people both current and during idiagbor era but i guess am wrong. i use to thing yoruba's has something against ghana vers vers. but as soon as we are one nigeria i will still choose a yoruba ahead of a ghana.
you sound quite guilty. undecided

In Abuja, I met lots of Fulani people who look like kenyans
fulanis do not look like kenyans unless you're referring to a hamitic/cushoid appearance found in[b] some [/b] kenyans.

maybe somali or araboid ones.



Now, The US is the only place me and my sis know we are mixed
what are you mixed with?

In England, we were just like every other Nigerian kid in any Nigerian occasion we go to,  which tells you nothing un-Nigerian about our looks,
you have missed it, to quote becomerich.



have an Ogoni name (kenunle) from my uncle's friend who said I look like his Nephew (Kenunle), Again, No "Nigerian look",
huh


are ogonis not nigerians?

And if someone tells you you look like his ogoni nephew, then either his nephew looks like whatever tribe you claim or some other reason.

you need to calm down. undecided



First of all, my child hood was spent in 3 different countries namely England, US, Nigeria,
so, what are you contradicting in my observation? huh




When we returned to Nigeria, I wasn't looked at differently by people instead I'm Oyinbo pepper which is what they called every light skin person in my neighborhood! So that gives me the Idea that they are used to my kind of look which to me trounces the "Nigerian look",
returnees from abroad can be called oyinbo because of their foreign mannerisms, in addition to any lightskin they may have. And this isnt always meant as a compliment.


your entire post is full of holes, actually. Will see if i want to address some of your misconceptions- not sure if it's worth it.

If there was no communicating happening,and the matter was serious enough then maybe space from each other would be the only answer
i tire for these people.

no sense at all. undecided

if you live overseas and your girlfriend owns the apartment then dont you have your own place or a car to take you somewhere else.

if you have neither then call your friend to pick you up in the middle of the night when you're busy fighting and showing aggro.

or should the police come and offer you free accomodation in jail? huh Or is beating yourselves better? huh


i'm getting so irritated by these s.tupid threads and just general display of i.diocy by some, dont know why.

People that are familair with the faces KNOW them, although not always correct.
folks are sensitive about this, but i think growing up in the diaspora would make most people unaware of these things.

all you have there are "black" and "white", "lightskin" "darkskin" and those types of gradients.

on a sidenote, do somalians have egusi because sometimes these little things are important in a diet especially if there isnt enough to eat.

it provides nutrients and the cholesterol would only be a problem if the calorie intake from other food sources is also high.
