I have noticed, after living in the states for almost 11 years, that many Nigerians that travel over here and even in Europe,tend to do away with the culture and discipline they have learned from back home.Especially in the U.S. where "un-cultured" men sag their pants and pierce their ears!! then when Nigerians arrive on U.S soil,they too begin to sag their pants e.t.c Please can someone tell me why a well cultured individual from a back home would adapt to these barbaric acts?whats in it for them?This is not only limited to men,females also loose their home training and respect for themselves...
I agree with you. Nigerians aboard tend to copycat wayy too much and it gets annoying watching that. I believe they try to copy westerners because they do not want to stand out especially being from the so called "backwards, barbaric continent" as some westerners call Africa. This is a pattern i noticed in all Africans residing aboard, notjust nigerians. The annoying thing about it is it makes some of them look ridiculuous. I've actually seen nigerians, and other africans deny being African, not just their country but Africa entirely. it's disgusting and don't get me started on the language barrier. Most nigerian parents aboard will teach their children English but not their native tongue. my mother once asked some parents especially mothers why they do that; according to them "they do not want their children to have an accent" ironically enough, the kids always do.
But you have to admit this is a pattern that seen among foreigners living aboard. From Asians, to Middle Easterners, to Indians, to Africans to Latinos, and so on and so forth. Though they still hold the culture, most destroy their identity once they arrive here.
As for nigerians living in Nigeria imitating such act.
Girl, i do not even know what is wrong with those group. I find it ridiculous.
