@poster- pls dont b surprised. Some Nigerians resist change- infcat, some parents wont allow their kids to marry frm another tribe so it is hardly surprising for me.
Most ppl rely on stereotypes wen dealing with groups of ppl without taking time to understand them. To give an example, my mom believes that if you are not Yoruba, Hausa (or Fulani), then you must be an Ibo-person (sbe includes Ppl frm Edo, Akwa Ibom or Calabar). Now for sumone like that cant take the time to find out about other cultures frm their country, how can u b openminded about other cultures?
wow she really think edo,akwa ibom n calabars are igbo..quite interesting lol Yep n the truth is that my akwa ibom frn told me tht wen she tell ppl that she is frm Akwa Ibom n not Ibo, they ask what is the diff? Thats a very extreme example but the point am trying to make is tht ppl dont always make an active effort to get to noe others. When we think about that pereption we have of certain ppl, tribes, race, religion or certain grp of ppl, we need to ask ourselves, where is this coming frm. 80% of the time we cant even remember the source of that stereotype. We need to treat ppl on an individual basis. Matter of fact, wen dealing with ppl we shud start afresh. Anyways dear- how far. How av u been? | Posted: at 10-09-2011 10:46 AM (13 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

I have a white sister-in-law and her family hates my family. This is even though we are very upscaled and educated. I am not saying all white's do that, what I am saying to you is to watch yourself especially in the current mood of America. My daughter married a white man and suffered the control you spoke of and she was beat by him. His families answer was for her to stay and work it out. They felt it was ok. What saved him from losing his life is the police holding my back. She left him but the family continues to try to cause issues and the police feel it is ok. I do not know who you converse with or how long you have been here in America. I am glad you had enough sense to leave him and I am not telling you who to date, but do not ever think that things have change that much in America.

It would be better, if your post was addressed to both cultures on the issue presented.
Okay, I'm not sure who this post was meant for but I'm assuming it's me. First of all, I AM Nigerian 100% born & raised in Benin City until I was 8. I was born in Nigeria and I absolutely love my culture and am very proud of it. Nigerians in the U.S. have the highest number of college degrees than any other ethnic/racial group in America. If that's not something to be proud of, then I don't know what is. How am I raining insults on a nation when in multiple cases I've stated that SOME Nigerians think backwardly? I still have family in Nigeria and to speak negatively of an entire country would mean to speak negatively of my family and I was not raised in such a manner. This post can be extended in regards to all human beings from all backgrounds. Of course there are bad apples among each group. My issue isn't only against racist Nigerians, it's against any individual from any ethnicity who thinks he or she has cultural superiority over others...because no such thing exists. Yes I'm aware that other races or cultures are prejudice against nigerians and africans. Especially since all these email scams came up, Nigerians have been looked down upon by a lot of people in the US and all over the world. And yes I've experienced racism FIRST HAND because of my skin color. But do I let it bother me? No. Because any individual who has hatred or racism towards any group of people is already less than worth my time. I respect my cultures' high moral and ethical standards because those same standards are what molded me into the person I am today. But the point of this post was to explore the reason behind SOME Nigerians' racial limitation on relationships even with all the moral and ethical standards we have. So all the points you just made are invalid because you jumped to several assumptions about me and my thought process while posting your comment. In no way am I putting down "an entire nation." All I'm saying is that there are aspects of my culture that I love, but there are also certain individuals who REPRESENT that culture and give it a bad name with their prejudice, backwards way of thinking. I posted about NIGERIANS' prejudice against interracial relationships because this is a NIGERIAN forum. This is not the UN where I can rant about all races under one roof. Upon all this, YES Nigeria as a nation still has a lot to work on and this includes all facets of our lifestyle. Just because we're proud of who we are doesn't make us exempt to constructive criticism.
