Culture / Re: American Women That Marry Nigerian Men by TonyaMarie: 10:50pm On Oct 21, 2015
I'm sorry I mean no offense to no one. But, I have to say that I think it's crazy that we are still discussing such matters in this present day. I have been married to a Nigerian man for eight wonderful years. Yes, a cause we have had our differences just like any couple in a healthy marriage, but without a doubt we love and respect each other dearly. No matter who are married too, whether they are from the same cultural back ground or not.. You should always take the time to know each other's personality, values, aspirations, desires and expectations. Communication is the source to a successful foundation. My husband knows me well, and I know him without prediction. We do not allow people to spew negativity in our circle, with all the tribalism. He is my brother, friend, strength, and leader. Him bring from Nigeria or me from here has never been an issue. We are both educated, well traveled, conscious and know that according to history we are family. I wish there was more unity amongst our people. I hear and see things that make me very sad and dissapointed in my people as a whole. Divide and conquer has always been a tool the oppressors had used against us, and some of us is still following that same philosophy. How can we grow as a nation MEANING the whole African diaspora and teach our children how to love themselves, culture and others if we keep presenting hate. I love my brother and sisters from all over the world but I'm heartbroken with our behavior toward each other. One love for all.
