hey dude, my advice for you is not to bother going to Nigeria at this time at all.The country is presently going through a crisis and is definitely not a good time to visit. If you must visit there are some things you also must do. first ask your mum if she is in contact with any of your fatherĀ“s close relative,then you can take it from there (i mean making plans to visit your fathers family). secondly,do not be in a rush about the visit issue,take time to do some research like what state is your dad from really(Southern Nigeria is made up of a lot of states).seek information about his surviving family members etc. that way when you infact do visit the country you would know who you are visiting and where you are visiting. you can ask any questions you feel like asking here,you will be surprised by the amount of information you will get but be careful with who you choose to deal with in your quest to search for your fatherland.(Nigeria,just like any other country in the world have its own fair share of not so good people) I applaud your decision to go visit your fatherland, take your time and plan it well so it will be worthwhile. Where in Germany are you? I am in friedricshafen,Baden wurtemburg here in germany. cheers |

I need not say more, Canlor did that by his very informative,enlightening post. He is right, this is not a good time to come to Nigeria. The Southern part of Nigeria consists of several States as he mentioned. Get the exact state he is from, his surname and any close contacts she ( Your mother) might have had of him. Welldone Canlor, @ Poster, dont worry your English is ok. Get as much information from your mum and post here and some people can help you do the leg work from Nigeria. As he mentioned be cautious and wise how and whom you give that information to. |

You name sounds like someone from delta but like what others said, u really need to ask your mother about any contacts shes got with nigeria since your dad died long ago,different states had been created but if toju is your name I think u are a deltan and an itsekiri to be precise. dont be in a hurry too visit cos u really need to know where u are going and those u are going to meet in nigeria, if u understand me. bolame: you need help cos dis guy no fit date u |

@op, There is no need putting your 'picture' up there, though people have given you good advice. |
Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by tojunee: 10:19am On Jan 15, 2012 |
Thank Guys for the Advice, I have discuss it with mother, I wish to suspend my trips until the Crisis is over. I had relative of our address but my mom send a lot of Letters to her but she never reply, My father name is Abidemi Oritsebemigho, I even search to find if any of my late father relative is on Facebook, I find NONE. so many name come up with Oritsebemigho. I appreciate. Sorry for putting my picture. I am sorry. |
Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by WaltherPPK: 11:33am On Jan 15, 2012 |
From the information you have given, it is most likely your are from the Itsekiri tribe, mostly found in Delta State of Nigeria.Ask your mother if she was ever in touch with any other of your father's relatives in any part of the world and contact them.You can also make enquiries through the Nigerian embassy in Germany armed with your birth certificate.You can visit Nigeria any time the industrial action is over coming now may not be very smooth for you, but you have to be careful who you contact especially on this forum.Goodluck. |

@toju sorry i give you the wrong info that i heard yesterday night that the strike as ended and everything is ok in nigeria, You will need to wait till you read on the news that nigeria is safe to visit then you can take a short trip here and contact me whenever you needed help. |

Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by bolame: 9:47pm On Jan 15, 2012 |
no, you are the one that need help,in the first place you claimed i posted on this thread that i wanted to date him which i did'nt in anyway and secondly i was replying to kenny and not you in the second comment which i make, but for your info i think toju is more younger than me which would'nt make me in the first place to have any relationship with him and secondly i got my own brit which am hoping to tie the knot with soon. |

@ tojunee When you approach the embassy, ask if your story can be broadcast on Newsline. It's a Sunday night program on NTA (the national television network)which features different happenings in the country. They'd be happy to assist. This has worked with a similar case in the past and this could be a good way to start your search. You do not have to pay anyone for this service. |
Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by Nobody: 2:10am On Jan 16, 2012 |
One IMPORTANT piece of advice, DO NOT FALL FOR SCAMMERS. Do not send money to anybody. Make sure a relative of yours is willing and ready to assist you on your journey of discovery. Goodluck! |
Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by WAVixen: 5:05pm On Jan 16, 2012 |
There is no big deal about posting your picture here! I guess you just want to prove to us as being authentic/ real. @ Nairalanders, I know there are some dubious people amongst us, but lets try and balance our thoughts and opinions. Not EVERY Nigerian has scam at the back of his/her mind. The snide comments remarks are becoming irritating. Lets come of that holier than thou attitude. @ Poster, try and get as much information as you can from your mum. Did your father have any friends while in Germany? Those you saw on face book did you try and contact them and ask if they knew/ are related to your father? Be wise as you have been warned. All you need is information, so use that to your advantage. Good luck. |

Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by justwise(m): 9:32pm On Jan 16, 2012 |
WAVixen: What was unbalanced about my comment to the op? Do more to over look my comments because i'm not in hurry to change it any soon. |
Re: I Am From Germany, I Need Detail To Visit Southern Nigeria by bolame: 1:30am On Jan 17, 2012 |
@justwise na wa for you o which one be looking and overlooking it definatly toju can put his pics here if he wanted to or not and nobody can tell him it is unneccesary if he feel it Ok for him to post the pics and someone also mention here that he can try to find his family thru the media e.g television station Nta, Stv etc and i think that would help |
