PAGAN 9JA:
AA's WANT to be called African. But they are nothing more than mixed breeds. cheesy
I’m an AA however; I’m not mixed breed but I am proud of my black heritage.

There’s always a discussion as to why AA’s are on this board.

Many of your men are migrating from Nigeria to America, sending money (back home) to help the poor as you so stated. Marring our women just to receive papers to stay in the country and someday bring you here. Your men, who come to this country, lie and cheat their way into this modern society and, system but yet you have nerve to demean us. You benefit from what he sends home in one way or another. It is only fair that AA’s learn as much as we can in any way we can about your culture and traditions. I can’t speak for the other AA’s on this board, but I have learned a lot just reading the post. I see some of you think you are the greatest gift that God has created. We were all created in his image. In lieu of allowing yourself to be better, maybe you need to lift 1 another up no matter where we are from.

RomanceRe: Can Anyone Help? Difference Between Love & Emotion by Zilja(f): 5:31am On Feb 03, 2012
Love is patient; love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Its only been 6 months, do you really love her or is it just a lust attached with your emotion. It's a game she's playin wit you.

[b]Love is patient; love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails

If this is your love, then you should have no problem coming up wit something.

I really have to get something off of my chest  undecided
But first let me reput I said I HATE BEING AFRICAN AMERICAN but love being black it's a difference trust me

I too am AA and I couldn’t help but respond to this garbage you are talking.  You speak like you have nothing and on your way to nowhere. (SAD)  You seem to be the one with little to no self-esteem who can’t see what’s in front of you.  You might want to go back and read what Setp-G said “many are willing to be in your shoes and you are here crying”  If you are in the USA, where the land of the FREE is then you might want to take some time and start appreciating what you have.

Do us all a favor…. Give thanks for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow.

I believe that, naturally, we as black people have a distinct odor
I think we as people have our own oder, it's call DNA. You can take the same perfume and spray it on two of three people and get two or three different smells.

I have a friend from Nigeria and he takes a bath up to three times a day. I know he wakes his kids up before school for a bath, when they come from school and once they get ready for bed. 

I only take a bath once a day and thats in the morning before I go to work. If I need to freshenup later in the day I will.

Mynd_44:
one thing is certain, the OP only has her silly self to blame
for whathuh asking a question.
Shy-One:
@ Poster

From reading your initial post, It sounds like one of 2 things have occurred:

You have let this person live in your home with you, and you are paying the majority of the bills.  Hence your statement about selling cars in Nigeria and then asking him "where's the money?"  You are looking for his financial contribution.

Or you have helped him purchase these cars and are looking for your cut and/or reimbursement.

Or all of the above.

I hope I am wrong but that is what it sounds like in layman's terms.  Steve Harvey - get his books - start putting "requirements" on men before you open your legs and open your doors.  Spend some REAL ALONE TIME focusing on YOU - - GET YOU TOGETHER.  If you need to lose weight, go back to school.  Put STANDARDS on yourself, once you do that, any ole thang ain't just gone walk up to you.

Because IF you look like, walk like, talk like a woman of quality, usually quality sees quality and you won't have too many undesirables who just needs a place to lay his head rolling up on you and in turn he won't even be a consideration as your "options in men, have just increased tenfold and your available selections have multiplied and improved."

Be something that an educated, well dressed high roller of a man wants to sport on his arm, improve you so you can increase your selection.  You chose wrong, there are a ka-zillion amount of men out there.  Throw your net on the right of the boat.  Focus on you for a few years, go solo.  Trust me, they will come running in droves.  Once they do, put requirements on them and lift your standards.  There are Nigerian men all around me who aren't waiting for money to come from Nigeria.  Why did you choose the one that "has it on the way?"  - check these guys out - africanlove.com
Clearly ya'll are misunderstanding my post. Non of these men have lived with me, my stnadards of myself are quite high actually. I just ask the question based on experience.  I own my own home, I have paid off my car I drive, my son is in college. The only thing I wait on is my pay check for the work I do at my co. You don't know its wrong until you've gotten into it.  The next Nigerian man approach me, and he will, i will tell him to flee.

[color=#000030]And i keep asking how st[i]u[/i]pid some people are, if after finding out he is Nigerian, you go ahead and date him and then Run to Nairaland, start a sh[i]i[/i]tty thread, make a senseless generalizing post, compartmentalizing Nigerian men as crooks, all because you fell for 2 idiotic Nigerians, and then ask why! Why do you ask why when you already had all the answers? undecided

You fell for the first one, and foolishly fell for the second one! What does that make you? It makes you very what? VERY DUMB!
So because you read a lot posts on here that Nigerian men knows how to treat their women like Queens, you believed it? And expected to be treated like a Queen too? Smh! Do you see how gullible you are? Do you now fully understand the extent of your "DUMB" Status?

Am i to be blamed if your IQ is quintessentially low?. . . Nonsense!
[/color]

First off: You are contradicting by saying "if after finding out he is Nigerian, you go ahead and date him" I'm in America and it's a free country I say and do what I want within the laws of the land. You must be mad because I have attracted your  Nigerian man and you are lonley and angry. Am I to blame for that? grin

Second off: I wanted to see what  the culture is really like and I see that its no different from anyother culture. People are jelalous and have to blame someone for their misgivings.

The status wasn't so DUMB because it captured your attention.
From now on when you see my post, keep moving.

If you read this post and take offense, I apologize. My intent is to let sexkillz know “I got the victory” don’t’ hate.  shocked

Mrs, Chima:
OP

It were the types you and others have attracted.  There are decent Nigerian men, you just have to screen them the same as you would any other men.
But I can't help who I attract and I know its up to me to screen them and yet, that takes time. These guys were on their best behavior no doubt.
RomanceRe: Why Do Good Guys Always Lose Out? by Zilja(f): 8:17pm On Jan 12, 2012
edydeyemi:
I have always wondered, why is it that Good Guys always lose out, especially in matters of the heart? I am a perfect example of a good guy: We don't cheat on our girls, we treat them like they are the best to happen to us. We devote all of our time and energies to making tehm happy, We never lose our temper with them, or raise a finger against them, we don't go through their phones or stalk them, in short I treat them like they are goddesses. But after all said and done we get played for fools. Is it that we are too predictable or what? Do ladies truly want guys that would treat them like they were eggs? Why is it that the Bad Guys end up having all the fun? Are we too "good" for our own good?
Because one bad apple spoils it for the whole bunch.

[color=#770077]I've been in two previous relationships with Nigerian men.   undecided

The first one dated for 2 years and then when he went home for a month, he came back with a wife  huh  When he and the wife are having problems, who is he calling, it's not ghost busters  cheesy He says I'm the only that can calm him down.  huh

The second one dated for a year and never meet the family. Always bought cars from US auction and sent them back to Nigeria to sell but never saw any sign of money that he made. Not even a flower. He kept saying the cars havent' sold yet. (i'm not crazy) He says "he''ll never never raise his kids the "American" way.  How could he take the kids from the mother and raise them by himself in the US

I read a lot post on here that Nigerian men knows how to treat their women like Queens.

One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Why come to the the US seek the black women and feel like you have to be false to them. That's not how acheiving the American Dream goes.

White women, spend more money on botox and lipo thank black women.  Black women age gracefully so why not enhanced the look as long as you can.

I get my hair done every two weeks becaue I care what I look like. I don' really care what the next person thinks becaue what I think out weigh what that person thinks anyway. Lets just say self-respect. Ask Aretha Franklin. grin

Nigerian men don't go on family outings with their ex-wife and be smiling(divorces here are craziy).
It's true! he's been on several outings with his (ex-wify) I'm sure he don't have the money to divorce her here in the states so they live apart.

I've read all your responses and my mind was made up when i posted, I'm moving on. Like I said I'm not a spring chicken. I'm am actually 14 years his senior. I wasn't born yesterday. I've been in love before and know what to expect when love comes calling.

Somehow that's all I attract is Nigerian men. Some I give a chance and others I don't.

Thanks for the advice!!!!! cool

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]I am an African American who have been dating a guy from Benin Nigeria for a little over a year now. I have a son who is 20 years and he has small ones 4 & 5 yrs. Just 3 months into the relationship he said he was in LOVE with me  shocked I'm no spring chicken so I'm waiting to see before I recipicate   lipsrsealed He and his wife are divorced (so he say)  and he has the children along with his mom living with him. 

If we are both single adults parents, why am I not able to meet the family.  We both are Christians but attend church in seperate places. I've invited him to my church several times and it's always excuces. I've ask to come to his church and more excuses. I'm big on communication no matter what the topic is. Several times such as Father's day, he said he was just going to church and back home. Well, later in the week I went on facebook and found pictures of he and the family, the wife and children enjoying themselves as if they were a happy family. OOO, did i say I found the wify on facebook. They are not friends but she post pictures of the family and he post pictures of just he and the children.  Dont' get me wrong, I would have had no problem had he said they were going to spend some time with the children because of that day. There's no trust for the one who says first "i'm in love with you" 

I'm really ready to move on but yet I give him another chance,
Is this typical for Nigerian men, want to have their cake and eat it too? undecided OR are they that proud to tell the family they are in love with a non-nigerian women?

Thanks for the ear smiley
