I see. I see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yes, you know what I noticed? If you watch Nigerian movies, or even watch your own mom you see the pride radiating out. I don't know if its me but I have noticed such things.

Nigerian people hold so much pride and dignity. The women believe that they are good looking and believe they have so much to offer. Not that they are NOT good looking and they don't have anything to offer but you can see that there is a 100 percent certainty amongst our women. Wow, and my mom has always tried to instill this in me, but it wasn't really a teaching. I wish Nigerian women that raised their women in America taught their children how to believe "You are IT". Because trust me I didn't learn that. Matter of fact I'm still dealing a bit with insecurities that stemmed from low self esteem. Now that I'm older I'm so mad that I let these people in America who don't even know their own culture dominate me.

I remember when I was getting my drivers permit. This tall Nigerian women who appeared to be Igbo was just parading like she was the ISH! Like she ruled the whole place, you could see her arrogance a mile away. I even began to get jealous. I was thinking to myself:Man, I wish I could have that certain type of appeal.

But I'm still learning. That's why I want to go to Nigeria. See what it is. I believe I have that confidence, it just hasn't leaped out of me or it hasn't grown. I want to be that confident woman. I really do, I'm working on it though.

So tell me your experiences? Do Nigerian women express confidence? Where do you think it stems from? How do you get it? Let me Know!

Oh okay. That sounds nice.

I'm doing fine, doing better than usual.

I've been in college in the states.
And You?

wow its been a while, since i made this post,
did some bastard really call me fat?
hahaha, let me see person face,

I'm back to Nairaland.
Who has missed me?

hahaha.

Thank you very much Esss,
no i don't have a boyfriend

anyone willing to share their stories or tips

lol, wow, now wow oh,

Okay, um, I just wanted to post my pics up, just to show myself, give an emphasis to the situation. I may look confident in my pics but I am not. But, um, ever since I was little I was always called names, and me being a sensitive person always was troubled by their comments. As I continued growing up, I would indulge in their comments and make it seem as if it were true. So I have tried to snap out of feeling "ugly" and "overweight", and "worthless" but sometimes it comes back to me in ways I wish I never had negative thinking. Also I'm a pessimistic person, which I hate to admit but I am. So I am trying to change all that by next year,

what do you mean?

Do you have confidence, If so tell me how you attained it. I am a member who lurks around this forum from time to time,  I see all my fellow Nigerians who have extreme pride in themselves. But somethings happened in my life making me insecure in my looks and my actions. I want to use this summer to help myself out, mentally, spiritually, and physically. I would deeply appreciate it, if you guys provided tips and advice to help me to "better" myself.

Suen has deleted my posts before but he hasn't banned me, so I'm okay for the moment,

Happy Easter

who are you talking about osegwu?

happy easter to you too, thank you very much highveld

I would think that maybe she is a bit busy, but she does want to call you, but doesn't feel like calling you. You get me? Maybe she's afraid of what you guys might be silent on the phone,  Or just she doesn't want to talk to you anymore,

Happy Easter You Guys!!!!!!

Wow, I didn't know a Nigerian would do this. Now you ALL know that this is not her, it's a picture of Beyonce, Get Real, she must not look attractive in real life if she has to steal another person's picture as her own.
