Hello
I believe AMERICA is somewhere in this world. But u guys come back and make we here feel like we've been living in ghetto. C'mon when you take your shoulder too high naijapals bring it down for you. So play equality and the game is even.
One love

huh?Huh?..what are you talking about?..this is exactly the purpose of this topic. You don't know anyone here but yet you're generalizing us. Some ppl feel that way because thats how they expected to be treated and not cuz someone is treating them like that. I don't treat ppl badly unless they come at me in the wrong way first.

THE DO NOT WANT TO CONSIDER YOU AS NIGERIAN BECAUSE YOU ARE DIFFERENT.
ANYTHING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS NOT APART OF THE STRUGGLE TO THEM.
THEY AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMED THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER LIVING CONDITION
AND STANDARD THEN THEY ARE AND THAT SUPPOSELY MAKES YOU BETTER IN
THEIR MINDS.  I WOULDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH INTEREST IN THAT.  BECOME
YOU GIFT TO THE WORLD BY BEING THE BEST YOU CAN IN EVERYTHING
WITH YOUR GOD GIVEN GIFT TO BE AN AMERICAN.

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?

i guess i'm in the same boat as you. But mine is actually from being around akatas and white ppl..lmao..see i've never been back to naija, but it bother's me when ppl think i'm not nigerian because i don't understand or speak  pigin very well. (i was actually told this here at the confessions)..but what some ppl have to understand is, Its very hard trying to keep up with your culture and heritage, especially when you live in a place where there isn't Nigerians around and you end up hanging around americans, what do you think will happen?..I'm glad i still speak and write igbo, though it sucks sometimes..but atleast i try my best to keep up with things. I'm not snubbish at all, i treat everyone as humans..not by heritage or whatever. And the stupidest thing about it is, they tend to say that you're not nigerian when it comes to things that doesn't make sense..just because i told someone that My chicken wasn't cut on my salad..and that i didn't feel like fixing my own food at a party..they looked at me and said(you are so not nigerian)..what tha hell is that suppose to mean? Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry



girl ure right.. i also experienced tat too... talk much of my appearance no one agrees tat im a nigerian they think im from asian or latin countries... and also cos i dont even speak nor write igbo ...and pikin i hardly speak or write..... well its tis world ..thank GOD i found out tis site if not im a complete stranger...

Look the best thing about being a Naija ninja is that you don't give a flying 4k what the next ninja thinks of you just do your thing in your own way, like pigin now everyone has his own lingo just flow as you go sometimes it's even best when na only few pips know watin you dey talk.
No look dem face!!!!
