I'm not affiliated with any of these stores though.


Just posting while you're waiting for Fl Gators.

Try shopping at the Spanish stores, in the meantime. A lot of them have African foods like yams, pepper, some form of powdered flour you can make fufu with, etc. You'll be surprised how many African foods you can find in a Hispanic store.

If you're hungry for things like pounded yam- you can also substitute with thick mashed potato.

Just buy the packaged potato flakes at any store, add water, stir and microwave or cook on the stove if you prefer.  Then turn as if you're making eba. My mom loves this and often has it instead of poundo yam.


Most grocery stores sell okro and veggies. Turnip greens are ok. So are mustard greens and kale. You'll also find spinach.

With all that and some meat for stew, you should be good to go until you find an African store.


for garri, amala and egusi, you could search for African stores online. I couldnt find any, actually. But check your yellow pages- you may find some listings there.

see the long sermon someone preached on behalf of Tuface

full of interesting facts and figures like these ones

Do you know how many kids TI the best america rapper of 2009 has.He has more than 10kids from different women and he is in his late 20s, while tuface 32.


if he was careless as you guys stated here, he would have impregnated all the girls he has slept with. that will be  500,000 Nigerian Girls and I billion world wide girls,

all this brouhaha just because condom no dey Nigeria? Una come shout for people's ears?

The Portuguese seem to have entered through Lagos/Warri to Benin while further along the coastline the British and Dutch may have made first contact.

The Dutch especially were coming from Ghana.

so what's wrong with being teachers?

The only problem I have with it is you'll be short of cash every so often, but since when did good honest work become a crime?

Idleness sha!

He has no right to constantly disrespect your parents since he wasnt hypnotized when he married you.

Hmmm, why are women considered "minorities" when they are more than men in population?

[quote author=Aloy.Emeka link=topic=271155.msg3853738#msg3853738 date=1242065782]@Richy,
Some people find it difficult to understand when they say "minorities and women". Because they sometimes lump minorities and women together for affirmative action doesn't mean women are minorities. tpiah got it all wrong.[/quote]

tpiah:
Not limited to mathematical minority: example women, Blacks in South Africa, Blacks in Mississippi and South Carolina in the 1920's

u r ryt but i strongly disagree with u, prove it

because my boyfriend's sister's ex fiance's cousin's girlfriend's name last name was Salvador, and her great great grandfather's mother was originally from Costa Rica.

TOH e be like say dem don seriously offend you

nethacker:
@topic, Let me start by telling d house dat the name ELLIOT is d name of the brazilian that settled in Lagos Island back in those days-1927-after amalgamation, Names in this categaory includes but not limited to Doherty,Da Silva,VeraCruz,DaCosta,Salvador,Lashman,Palmers,Bastos,Marcos(Marquez) and many more i can't remember.Anybody with any of the above mentioned names definately hail form Lagos State.

I wonder oh.

Most Yorubas with English or Brazilian last names are more likely to come from Lagos, Ogun and sometimes Osun.

Whats wrong with the combination, Yoruba no dey marry calabar?

ask that yeye fellow, not me. He has some unresolved issues with intertribal marriages involving Yoruba.

Ced8:
I might look better than dude ,but my looks havent sparked this much ,eh,controversy?I better go find way to wowo make all them laidies dey confuse over me,hehe.

The dude was in the domino serial,i think

this is why some pretty boys cant get girlfriends while the "ugly" guys sweep up all the females in sight. And you wonder why the hotties are running after the uglies.

Sexy is different from goodlooking. The two often go together but being one doesnt automatically mean you'll be the other.

There's sexy wowo and ugly unsexy wowo.

Which of these are you referring to?

Most times its when the partner is still tied to their relatives wrapper that they insist on the SO adapting to their culture in their bid to transform her (him) into a foreign version of their "homegirls".

If the man is more or less independent and well adapted, it wont bother him so much since after all he has his reasons for not marrying from his own culture.

But for the sake of peace, if the guy is that way, then by all means go the extra mile.

Thats the thing with some oyibo men. They'll be the ones trying to learn as much as possible about their partner's culture, instead of it being the other way round.

Does anyone know why diehard traditionalists consider polygamy an integral part of African tradition?

Going back to ancient Roman times, polygamy still wasnt the norm even as far back as that. So why did Africans insist on sticking to polygamy as a way of life (along with refusing to create any form of indigenous documented history but that's another story)?

Is there more to this polygamic stuff than meets the eye? Is it due to the hardship of African life or just a way of controlling women as a means to an end?

Why do some men find monogamy so foreign to their natures? Religion aside.

And is polygamy an Arab influence since most of Africa is directly under the same?

Utali:
Lol all of a Sudden Yourba done dey claim Lagos lol
Yoruba get Lagos only for name ok?
Look around, go to places, The Tallest Building in Lagos is owned by an Igbo Man, Alaba Igbo Man, What Can Lagos be without the IGBO Man??
I blame Zik, I blame Igbo people wey Love Nigeria too much, if Igbo people could go with all their properties in Lagos eh, Lagos will be a Desert!!

Look at all these tribalist frontmen oooo

IF THE IGBOMAN IS NOT STRONGER, IF NIGERIA NO DEY FEAR IGBOMAN,
Make the Dredge Rive Niger lets see whats the ado 'bout Lagos
Let Igbo People think HOME!!

If you're a lawyer then I see why people are getting sceptical of Nigerian degrees. Or where did you school again? Hope it was abroad? Stop embarassing your alma mater abeg.

Harrods the most expensive store in the UK, is owned by an Egyptian. Does that make Britain Egyptian?

Lagos is home to many tribes, not only Yoruba and Igbo. However, anyone doubting the original owners of lagos are Yoruba, needs to stop smoking weed and get into rehab!

End of story!

ThiefOfHearts:
and end up just like Iyakadijat

better them than me.

or Mrs Lawal the oil tycoon's wife.

Or Mrs Hakeem Olajuwon



come nah- give these randy Yoruba men a break occasionally.

You must be wondering if I've started hitting the bottle.

and its all about votes these days

A minority is a sociological group that does not constitute a politically dominant voting majority of the total population of a given society

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_group

in western countries, women are also considered minorities.

Being a minority doesnt always have to be a bad thing if and only if, it creates opportunities for advancement.

http://academic.udayton.edu/race/01race/minor01.htm

What is a Minority Group?

A subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their lives than members of a dominant or majority group


Not limited to mathematical minority: example women, Blacks in South Africa, Blacks in Mississippi and South Carolina in the 1920's

Interchangeable with subordinate group


A group that experiences a narrowing of opportunities (success, education, wealth, etc) that is disproportionately low compared to their numbers in the society

Minorities can be gender, religion or ethnicity based. And they dont always demonstrate every single characteristic listed here. But they may fit at least half.

@ deor03

"major" in this context is based on number.

jensinmi:
Anyone heard of a Psychiatric Hospital in Nigeria? NO.

You mean your state doesnt have a Psychiatric Hospital?

Instead of blowing internet steam, are you planning to build one there, or at least petition your representatives about it?

on the other hand, RS is simply another potential assassin recruited for "unknown" powers?

Easy way of turning an ordinary citizen into a criminal albeit one who goes scot-free.


And the "powers" get an additional foot soldier.
