Hey y'all. 
I'm not Nigerian and I know very little about Nigeria, but I thought I could spend some time on this forum to find out more.
I am a 19 year old black American female (with roots that can only traced in America alone for the past few centuries). It is said that something like 45% of Afro-Americans likely have ancestry from one of the Nigerian tribes. It would be nice to exchange ideas.

So hello everybody and it will be nice to hear from you. 

Welcome to Nairaland, "black American female"! So are you dating a Nigerian?

No I'm not. I've never actually had any connection to Nigeria, I'm mainly here to learn.

I had a pretty negative experience on another Nigerian site though where a couple of fools kept claiming that I was not who I said I was and that I was something else. Then they started making all these "slave" references without even knowing the first thing about who I am like I had to be lying without even letting me explain.   

Eh

You'll be treated better here. So what do you want to learn?

Yeah u not going to regrete ever comming to this forum, it's one of the best in Africa i mean the best, and u would surely be treated nice, and one of us. As long u are ready to learn about Nigeria, Nigerians, and Africa in General. So u are highly welcomed

Thanks, then I'm glad.

So what do you want to learn?

A little from everything.

Hi,
I'm new in this forum, but for some strange reason I couldn't create a thread of my own.

hi. welcome to nairaland, a special place for special people. Nigerians are very hospitable people with diverse cultures. Thou Nigerians are being given bad publicity outside, but we are one of the most intelligent, lovable nation you can get anywhere. Everything about us is extraordinary, our food, our actions, our ways, our culture, our beauty, our fashion, our religion. Above all, we love God and people and always look for opportunites to people show them how wonderful we are.

both of you are highly welcome

@poster
welcome to the land. its always good to know that African americans are intrested in their roots. some facts you need to know about Nigeria. . .

the most populous black african country (over 150 million of us. one in five african is a nigerian)

major export is crude oil

the people are often perceived as a very corrupt . actually thats not far from the truth, but there are lots of decent, hardworking, honest ones among us.

always aviod the grotesque images those news media show of africa (most especially nigeria), most of us dont livr like that.

hope you'll visit someday, best tourist spots are in cross river and plateau states. but lagos is where it all gors down, just like your own newyork.

once welcome to the land,

hey! @ poster so here's ur root in africa ? av u tried locating dat

Welcome oh!
