I'm from Osun State. Actually, I've been in Ogun State all my life, but my parents are from Osun State. Hmmm, actually, my parents claim to be from Osun State because their parents are from there. It's really silly for anyone to claim to be from a particular region because your great ancestors were from somewhere else! |

My parents hailed from Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom state. My birthplace is Washington D.C, so I classify myself as a Nigerian-American. But overall, I see myself more of a Nigerian than American. |

Re: Where Are You From? by Ndipe(m): 9:45am On Sep 23, 2007 |
I dont think it is ridiculous to trace your genealogy through your ancestors. Or you might as well discard your last name to maintain your single identity. A tree just cant sprout up without the roots, hence one's heritage should be traced through their ancestors to maintain their genealogy. You just cant, like the Americans say, "My parents are from Texas, but I am from Florida". Theirs is different, each on their own. Africans are different, we have that sense of community, handed down to us by our ancestors. I am all for it. Otherwise, I would not have picked Nigeria as my country of origin. |
Re: Where Are You From? by justin04(m): 12:09pm On Sep 23, 2007 |
I guess I am citizen of the world, born in England by nigerian parents from Ijebu Ode and Sagamu. Now an american citizen. And yes, I have all palis. Would that make me a Naijabrican? |
