[Coupé It]

Home means different things to different people. Don’t know why not wanting to go back is so shocking.

I been living with bm2 after our breakup since she has in unit laundry and i kind of hate my new place and am bout to break the lease but got til Sept 1 before the new spot is ready, plus our daughter is a terrorist so we need to help each other. Literally sleep together but no poom poom. #sucksman so its like everything about when we were together the game except no sex #sucksman

You an interesting dude dawg…the situations you get yourself into and the seemingly lack of learning from them is impressive, with all due respect

 

[Based Jesus]

datznasty you dont even get a little cuddle in? She got a pillow wall up in the middle of the bed?

I don't even think it's that he doesn't want to...but when he became a household name it's almost like he was bullied into having to speak about NIgeria.

Like...how come no one ever did this to Andre Iguodala?

This sounds like a worse deal than da Kia

Fam you think I'm going to get coins and pay to wash my clothes in this creepy basement (never mind the fact ****** management didnt even give me the key yet) when I can wash for the freesky over there? In unit laundry is the biggest of all the factors in fact. It's gonna be like 106 this weekend with an even higher heat index. I'm a big dude, so I change clothes and take showers 2 to 4x a day just because of the sweaty stickiness. I don't be stinking, I'm just overly self conscious about it (and wish more people were because it be smelling like wet dog in line at Wal Mart). I'd say I am playing this perfect, plus it saves me from driving all the way over there in the morning to take my daughter to daycare.

Then after I drop my daughter off I come home to my house and work from here in solitude

datznasty you dont even get a little cuddle in? She got a pillow wall up in the middle of the bed?

yea literally everything except. Be knocking right on the door and I can get handsy but I get down there too long she'll move my hand and put it on her boobs. She just torturing herself too at this point tryna prove a point. But I can use the wash as much as I want

This sounds like a worse deal than da Kia

I still got 2 years left on that loan, seems like its been forever. The Durango got 111k miles on it. And it's people out here literally taking out even 8 and 9 year loans. 7 is an eterniteeeeeeeeeeeeeey

Shiyeet. I'm a drive this Durango til it falls apart. At least 300k, got into a fender bender last weeekend tho gotta go to a body shop today in fact, Just minor damage to my front bumper, rear ended a dude in a Camry who claimed his was 1 of 650 and was having a kinniption fit and called 911 so many times. Then a black lady cop pulled up and he saw our connection, not just in both being black and her being kinda cute, but both being like yea **** this dude so he literally called again and they sent a supervisor out. **** was crazy. 1 of 650 fam, its a Camry. It's probably 650 of those within a mile radius right now

23&Me Friday is a new one for this this thread

If he hadn’t been posting for years, I’d definitely think datznasty was making these stories up

I think that is another factor people are sleeping on. It is not like a regular civilian going back to where their parents are from. As a household name celebrity who is worth 100s of Ms, going back to Nigeria would be a totally different experience.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

im being somewhat tongue in cheek about Gannis, obviously he can do whatever he wants.

but I will say
I think there is a big difference between assimilating into a multi racial democracy where citizenship is based on shared on values

and being granted citizenship in a right of blood country
because you are an incredible athlete.


if Gannis was trash at basketball, him and his family would still prob be stateless refugees
and greek people would go back to calling them racial slurs.

i can't tell how to feel. but I think id look at that greek citizenship very skeptically.

Why'd you guys break up? It sounds like she'd be open to making up and getting back together.
Is that not a thing you want? Could get sex AND laundry

Obviously . But he grew up there, has a rag to riches story and is now probably the biggest celebrity in the country. If Bron was trash at basketball, he’d likely be impoverished and called racial slurs by white people too.

Nah once I get my new spot with my own laundry, we can go back to just seeing each other to exchange the baby Women be holding out like vj is a rare commodity, everybody got one. Everybody don't got a washer and dryer tho

Greeks are so god damn strict with offering up citizenship man

Is this the spot you were talking about the same spot where your Ring camera caught a Cougar outside but you weren’t sure what animal it was?

yah but hed be a citizen, the stated values of the country (even if some americans fail to live up to those values) say he is entitled to various things.

the values of greece, say literally the opposite.

Absolutely true.

Now on the other side of that coin...would you (or Nigeria) give a flying **** about the Antetokounmpos if Giannis wasn't an incredible athlete and he was still a stateless immigrant in Greece? Is there a mission to go and get all the stateless Nigerian immigrants worldwide and bring them back to Nigeria?

From HIS point of view...he was BORN and RAISED in Greece. The same way people here "rep" streets, blocks, cities, neighborhoods that they aren't indigenous to (depending on who you ask but that's another topic)...he just knows what HE KNOWS. I don't think he's ever denied his heritage or his parents background either. It's just kind of weird when ****** act like it should be his dying wish to be Mr. Nigeria all of a sudden and he should denounce everything he knows as if he CHOSE his circumstances. It's not just all jokes either from a lot of people. People really pretend like he's trying to hide his heritage or some ****.

Funny enough this convo has been had before and how the DCAllAfrican name change happened

 

[iheartboost]

at this variation of 'top __' lists

Honestly, not too bad. I mean Tier 1 and 2 is not too far off, and Tier 3 is okay. Don't care about Tier 4 or 5.

i totally get that,

Nigeria is a fake country arbitrarily created by colonizers. It's not like I think that he should feel some sense of loyalty to the nigerian government,

they are literally a bunch of criminals.

but your ancestral home, the place where your people, language originate from?
i dunno, i can't say how id feel for certain, but I think id feel a stronger tie to that
than the country that by law prohibits my citizenship, until I became so famous that they couldn't do it anymore?

he can feel as greek as he wants to, but the culture and the stated values of the socitey will never recognize him as being greek.

not matter how much he changes his name to match greek language.
or how well he speaks it, or where he grew up.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I don't what it would be like to be an african in a country like Italy or Greece.
hate it or love those countries are blood and soil places.

I think it would be hard to assimilate into a place like that, but then again i didn't grow up there.

He just needs to pull up with Wizkid and Burna Boy word to Kamaru Usman
