Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 12:48am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Hello. Is there anybody with ties to the "new world" in here (North, Central, South America and the Dutch/French/English and Spanish Speaking Antilles)?. Of course, everybody from the "Old World" is very welcome (When referring to the "Old World", I'm including Africa, of course. Your history is far older than ours). Really. I mean it. I don't know if this is the right section for this thread. I'm just looking for people with whom I could have a friendly chat, as long as all the rules are observed, and we all keep it reasonable. Thank you for your attention. |

Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 1:04am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Jenifa_:Yes, I'm Latino. But I Haven't found any Latin boards in Here. Anyway, everybody is welcome to chat with me, from anywhere. Really. |

Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Jenifa1: 1:11am On Feb 04, 2011 |
well, u won't find a latin american board on nairaland. where else would you find it? that's what i mean by somewhere out there. |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 1:21am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Jenifa_: That is obvious . Anyway, I'm not trying to create a Latino thread in Spanish, bacause the moderator will kick me out of here. Maybe I should correct myself in the introduction. And, once again, anyone from anywhere, who wants to have a fun chat just for the sake of it, is very welcome. Trust me. I'm open minded. |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Jenifa1: 1:24am On Feb 04, 2011 |
yea it's very obvious. anyways welcome to NL |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 1:33am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Jenifa_: Thank you very much. I'm Latino of Italian Ancestry. I live in Venezuela, where I was born and raised Please tell me about your background (ethnic group, etc), if you don't mind. I'm just asking because many Americans from African ancestry preserve ancient Yoruba rites in a religion called "Santería". They're huge in Brazil. Yes we have "babalaos" (Babalawos?). |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Jenifa1: 1:52am On Feb 04, 2011 |
i'm yoruba. are you from brazil? do you practice santeria? |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by MrsChima(f): 1:57am On Feb 04, 2011 |
This is an African site from what I was told and most likely those who aren't Nigerians do not get the "hospitable" treatment especially if you are not into kissing arses. However, Welcome to Nairaland. |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 2:00am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Jenifa_: Nay. I'm Venezuelan. I don't practice "Santeria". Yet anyone is perfectly free to practice the creed that she/he wants. Right? In Brazil, as part of new year's eve festivities, thousands of people, of all creed, gather on the shores of Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro, all dressed in white, as Santería requires, in order to offer flowers to the Orisha Yeye Emo Eja (known as Yemanjá in Brazil). Sorry for typos, but I have no clue about the Yoruba language |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 2:02am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Thank you all for the welcome words Well, I have to go. Sorry. Talk to you later. Bye. |

@OP i live in the states, my mom is from the Greater Antilles (Jamaica) but I have family in Cuba, the Bahamas, panama, costa rica, Guyana, (SUPPOSEDLY Brazil in a place call Obrigado or some sht), United States & Canada (toronto to be exact). My family is all over the "new world" due to nursing programs and simply relocation. Latinos and west indians have roots soo mixed up we are everywhere lol. Beautiful thing to be Latino/Caribbean. Where are you located? |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 2:41am On Feb 04, 2011 |
Mrs.Chima: Thank you but please, let's keep the thread clean and respectful. |

MzD@rkSkin: Hello MzD@rkSkin. I was born and raised in Venezuela, where I'm located, and we around 500 miles of Caribbean coasts. Your family is definitely all over the continent (9 countries!). You're very right. The Caribbean is a melting pot. The entire continent has been, for quite some time, a safe haven for millions of immigrants who had to leave their homelands, ravaged by poverty and wars. Shure is a beautiful thing to be Latino/Caribbean. We have "Sabor!" (Flavour in English?). I don't think it could be translated. A Jamaican living in America?. Well , I suppose you either have music in your blood, or you have music in your blood . But I suppose we can discuss that later . My apologies to everyone else. I got a little bit carried away. P.S. "Obrigado" means "You're welcome" in Portuguese. |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 11:51pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Well?. Americans, and Africans, Asians and Europeans living in the Americas, in their homelands or abroad, please identify yourselves. Thank you. |

fstranger1: Your comments are not at all welcome. Please refrain. |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Jenifa1: 8:35am On Feb 05, 2011 |

Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 8:39am On Feb 05, 2011 |
Jenifa_: You're welcome Jenifa_. I detest bashing behind the safety of a Nick in the Internet. I just wonder why do they keep moving my thread to different sections. I someday won't be able to find it. Well I must go to sleep. It's very late in here (or too early in the morning). Talk to you later. Bye |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Jenifa1: 8:44am On Feb 05, 2011 |

@fsstranger Must you display your childishness all over NL? You probably need to get busy and do something more productive with your life. Spending all this worthless time wouldn't get you anywhere in life. don't worry u can thank me later |
Re: Anyone With Ties To The "New World" (North/Central/South America, the Antilles)? by Alcofrybas(m): 9:42am On Feb 05, 2011 |
fstranger1: This is absolutely incredible and morally repugnant!. I could not get out without having a final word. I am 41 (it's clearly stated in my profile). The lady I was defending doesn't specify her age but the photograph in her profile, if its hers, is the photograph of a minor. These are all rash, disgustingly offensive, outrageously repulsive and totally unacceptable defamations. Somebody who hasn't answered to him yet in this thread should report all his comments, especially this one. I cannot do it, because If I do it, after replying to him, I'll be banned according to the rules. jay bee: Thank you for your help jay bee. This deranged person should be either: - Sued in civil courts. - Or sent to the funny farm!. |
