Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by citous(m): 12:25am On Aug 21, 2010 |
I have been dating this girl for the last 2 years now and she is just the right girl for me. The only problem I have is that my family/friends are doing their damdest to hook me up with a Nigerian. Whenever the topic of my getting hooked up to her is brought up, they always have a Nigerian alternative for me to consider. This is grinding on my nerves full time. Before u ask ,I grew up in Nigeria and most of those pressuring me live in Nigeria. I am going home to visit this year and am sure its gonna be a heck of a fight against them and their choice of women they will surely be presenting to me. What am I gonna do? ![]() |

My brother our black sister may be bad, but for the sake of your sister, mother and Nigeria do not bring home a filipino, we cant be that bad in Nigeria,please not a filipino, have fun with the filipino lady and drop her, in 5 years time you will look back and realise you made the right decision. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by citous(m): 1:23am On Aug 21, 2010 |
MOBO444: Can u educate me please on wat seem to be wrong with a filipino in 5years time. This is not a case of bad or good, rather an issue of who u are compatible with. She is down to earth and even have learnt a few of my language and delicacies. ![]() |

cito us: I would say some of them are just looking out for me, I would not go to the xtent of calling it being xenophobic. I would say some of the resistances are born out of ignorance cos they believe only a Nigerian will afford me a better wife. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by InkedNerd(f): 1:32am On Aug 21, 2010 |
cito us: I hope I didn't offend you with the xenophobic comment and don't mind MOBO, he's Nairaland's official village goat. |

poster i say dont fall for all the hook ups. A person who loves you and understands you and cares about you no matter what color or race they are is who you should be with. when you go to naija just be the educator and help these people see that life is bigger than marrying the same girl from your village. by the way is your lady travelling with you? 1 Like |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by citous(m): 2:04am On Aug 21, 2010 |
Inked_Nerd: No u did not offend me, not at all. ![]() omega25red: No she is not going, but may be later. Don't want her in the mids of the brouhaha. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by MOBO444(f): 8:57am On Aug 21, 2010 |
@Poster what do you mean she can cook your delicacies and understand you local language, well i still think it is a bad idea, trust me, have fun with her and move on. @Inker_nerd i dont understand you,why do you give the fellow wrong advice, he is about to bring home a filipino and this is all you got to say., filipino are know as international maids and servants the world over. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by citous(m): 5:18pm On Aug 27, 2010 |
MOBO444: Yes she learnt to do some of things I listed. But I gat to say bro ur replies are rather unintelligent/dumb thanks to the highlighted line above. |

@ Poster: Please neglect any snide remarks against your lady. I hav a filipino friend in naija and i reali admire the lady. Her father is igbo and her mom is filipino. U r the one who is going to stand ur ground unles u dont reali want her. @ Inked_Nerd: keep it comin', @ mobo: u shudnt be insultive against a race created by God as yours is. It's not good at all and u shud apologise to the poster for doin' so. Wud u want some foreigner to insult ur mother or sister? Even If u wer tryin to prove a point u shud hav used other words. "use her and then move on"? Just listen to urself. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by InkedNerd(f): 3:52pm On Aug 28, 2010 |
Keep what comin'? |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by sexylogan(m): 4:08pm On Aug 28, 2010 |
^^^ i meant keep ur posts coming. Very original-love ur dialogue. I can't believe MOBO can be so insensitive towards this issue. I mean, how can he say that the poster shud "have fun with her and move on"? What insolence! Well, this just proves that you may teach a goat to read n write and even operate a computer, but u can Never teach it Sense! |

MOBO444: I never took note of MOBO444 until just some few hours ago To be very humble and sincere i think this dude is the dumbest fellow around at the moment He types as creepy as he really is. Inked_Nerd: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS |

Poster, I understand how you feel cause I was and is still in your situation only that Im Malaysian and my malaysian family object and disapprove me going out with my Nigrian bf. After 6 years and coming to 7, they still object but his family welcomes me to their family. So what will I advice you to do is dont give up hope. Always let your family know that this nis the girl you love and this is what you want. If they want you to be with a Nigrian girl so badly, than they should go get married to her cause its their personal prferences. Not yours.When you keep doing this and stand firm to your ground, they will have no choice but to give in and theres nothing they can do about it. If they want to break up the family, they can continue on behaving like they are behaving right now. ![]() |

I guess they are just looking out for ur best interests. Don't be too hard on ur folks. If u are so down with her,go ahead. It's just that it is difficult for people from different tribes talkmore of people from different races. At the end of day, it is u making the decisions, good or bad. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by Gabry(f): 5:45am On Aug 29, 2010 |
na2day?: Your mom is so cool! ![]() blank: Right on point sweety! ![]() Cause its our own life to make our own decisions, not having other people to make decisions for us. |

It is all nice to be in love and crap. EXPLORE YOUR NIGERIAN ALTERNATIVES, FIRST. Your worst problem is taking her home later where she can be KIDNAPPED or see the HURRIBLE place you come from, and decide she is NEVER going home with you. It is tough, but that inter racial marriage thing makes your toes tingle. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by JesusloveU: 7:18am On Aug 29, 2010 |
Poster,am in your shoes right now.I have a Japanese lady am staying with for 3 to 4 years now.But am planning to go home and marry a black lady,because the cultural differences still remains.My lady is good to me,but the only difference between my lady and yours is that she got a hot temper,shouts whenever she's angry,destroy things sometimes,she doesn't want to learn how to cook Naija food,she does want to learn about Naija culture and she believes that the woman should control the man .Even if she got all the things i need in a woman or does all the things i like ,i will still not marry her because i cannot claim my children if we have problem after marriage.I have seens lots of our guys here who marries to native people ,but they can't get their children back if there's problems after marriage,they can even be deported if they trys to make any trouble with them.You can go ahead with your plans,it's better to separate when you are still dating than after marriage.For me i want to marry only one lady in my life,i don't want to marry home and abroad like other guys do here.It's your choice brother. |
Re: Pressure From Home But In Love With A Filipino: Help! by InkedNerd(f): 7:24am On Aug 29, 2010 |
JesusloveU: Hmmm, interesting. Didn't know that. Note to self [me] look into child custody laws when dating and attempting to marry a non-Nigerian. Just wondering, where'd you meet this woman? Are you currently in Japan? |
