| Why is that Nigerians raised in America looked down upon by Nigerians who were actually raised in Nigeria??
This question is actually about me. I was raised here in America (I have been here since I was 5yrs old) been back to Nigeria twice, understand Ibo but don't speak it well. But alot of Nigerians do not consider me Nigerian which real bothers me.
Now why would Nigerians not consider me Nigerian?
The truth of the matter, is you should just try, I know there are some nice people back home. Even Jesus christ wasnt loved by everyone, stick to the people who appreciate you for who you are, the rest should jump off the 3rd Mainland Bridge. I'm lucky, I only left when I had learnt igbo language well and can burst pidgin like crazy. I'm re-learning ibo. I understand Ibo very well but I can't speak it fluently. I have been here since I was 5yrs so I lost alot. My parents speak Ibo to me and I reply them back in English but I re-learning and will be speaking it soon... | | |

| TRIBUTE TO THE WOMAN
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day An angel came by and said: "why spend so much time on that one?"
And the Lord answered: "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?" "She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of foods, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands".
The angel was impressed. "Just two hands, Impossible!" And this is the standard model?!
"Too much work for one day, wait until tomorrow and then complete her".
"I will not", said the Lord. "I am so close to complete this wonderful creation, which will be the favorite of my heart". (thank you Lord) "She cures herself if she's sick and she can work 18 hours a day".
The angel came nearer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord".
"She is soft", said the Lord, "But I have also made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome".
"Can she think?" the angel asked.
The Lord answered: "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."
The angel touched the womans cheek, "Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her."
"She is not leaking, it's a tear" the Lord corrected the angel.
"What's it for?" asked the angel.
And the Lord said: "Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."
This made a big impression on the angel; "Lord, you are genius. You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!"
Indeed she is! (Please be grateful to God, even with the menstrual cycle is part of the strength on woman).
Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when feeling like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid. She fights for what she believes in. Stand up against injustice. She doesn't take "NO" for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid. Her love is unconditional. She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well. She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding. Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies, but she finds the strength to get on with life. She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
There is only one thing wrong with her
SHE FORGETS WHAT SHE IS WORTH | | |

| wat do u do when d guy u love is poor n he neva appreciate ur love 4 him? walk away? stay hoping 4 a change 4rm JAH
That was me about 3yrs. In love with a man who didn't give a sh!t about me. He actually walked away from me. I had to let go (what choice did I have). I prayed about it and asked god to take care of him for me. I knew that one day that man would come back looking for me and guess what, this man is looking for me. Called me father and let his phone # for my dad to give me. I have his number but I can't bring myself to call him. I kept saying that victory is mines; God will make him pay for what he did to me. Of course, there's more to the story.....anyway, I say all that...lol...to say....let him go. Do what is best for you and staying where you are not loved and cared for is not worth. Walk away now, it might be painful but think about how you feel with him. | | |

| I am not snobish; I'm judged b/4 they get to know. But I do have lots of Nigerian friends but they tell me that I'm not Nigerian....not in a mean way though....is hard to take that they don't see me as Nigerian...When I first met Nigerians the converstion is usually this....and then they get to know me. | | |

| First date is about getting to know one another better, and i really don't think kissing should be involved, maybe on the second date he can get a peck on the cheek or something. you haven't kissed on the first date? | | | |
