ojulowo:
maybe i need to just go ahead and be more secretive.

good luck with that.


you can politely or jokingly remind the person asking, that you've already told them three times?

2prexios:
You can't always tell what may come out of this. Maybe some can trace their origin as far back as possible, who knows?

its not about origins but current lineages.

Ihuomadinihu:
This is just hypothetical. What actually informed this assertion? How do you identify mixed families? How far back do you intend to search for mixed ancestry? How many Nigerian families have a record of foreign members? What sort of mixture are you referring to? Inter ethnic or Multi racial? Don't know how one will just land on nairaland and assume that all Nigerians are mixed without emprical backups.

let me spell this out in plain language:

It is highly, nay, extremely doubtful there is any Nigerian family that doesnt have at least one relative or member who is mixed with an outside ethnicity or race.

Note: I did not say ancestor.

How many Nigerian families have a record of foreign members?

probably relatively few.

However, that doesnt mean nobody is keeping track.

Gaborone:
A VERY UNPOPULAR one;

that shouldnt prevent you from revealing it.

BackDatAssUp:
This is Akwa Ibom and not Lagos or Osun where projects are commissioned on pages of newspapers with CGI as proof of completion.

and what did the op just do?

seems necessary, imo.

ancestry.com is western i think.


the indigenous record would be somewhere else, as you know.

why is the picture of a somali girl btw.

. . . . . . .

ok

what was your old id?

anonymous6:
Most Nigerian families have at least one mixed relative at one point? yea its possible and true for some but not for all Nigerian families

I think it might be extremely difficult to find any Nigerian family with nobody who is mixed.

do the thing correctly, thank you.

Stop appearing half baked.

if its to rate blogs, you'd do it right!

no, I'm not referring to dna test "ancestry" but the real thing. And, I specifically mean Nigeria.

Most Nigerian families have at least one mixed relative at some point.

You might have to go far to find the person or persons, however.

In addition, my primary context is family, more than ancestry. Family as in descendants of a particular person or persons, among whom will be found at least one individual who is mixed.

do you disagree?

In addition, "interschool debate" is used for secondary school debates, not tertiary institutions.

breaking it down further:

University of Technology to University of Technology.

State university to State university

Newly created universities to newly created universities

do it right.

and no, I havent followed any of them, just going by the thread titles.

Private universities should also debate with other private universities, etc.

. . . . . . . .

plaetton:
.... And seeking professional medical care?
Is that a thing of the remote past?

none of the choices are mutually exclusive.

hm

anonymous6:
can you give the facts

they're not publicly known.

anonymous6:
I don't think it is that simple, because it depends on what mix you are talking about; race, ethnicity/tribe and etc and also do you mean immediate family or distant family or ancestors. First of all it is obvious majority or almost all nigerian families are Black Nigerian, only a few families in Nigeria are Interracial marriages for example arab & Nigerian or White European & Nigerian so I disagree in the race part. When it comes to Ethnicity/Tribal for the most part people marry within their tribe then outside their tribe, thats why majority of families in Nigeria are of one tribe however mixed tribal marriages have increased but not big enough to make a difference plus have you forgotten that some Nigerians that do happen to be mixed traditionally claim their fathers tribe for identitiy but that old school rule is slowly changing. Distant family it depends and ancestors is debatable to a extent but ancestors are not direct families in the end of the day. So to me their are many Nigerian families with no mixed people in it.

I think most Nigerian families who assume they have no mixed people, just havent looked far enough.

I can almost guarantee they will find them if they do.

The only exceptions would be if the family has been actively discouraging such unions since centuries ago, I doubt there's any such policy in the majority of Nigerian families. You'd have to be extremely militant, and even then. . . . . . . . .

Ihuomadinihu:

scarr:
