I was playing with my mom the other day telling her what type of woman I was gonna marry, I said Ibo and she almost killed me
To answer OP's questions I have no difficulties living in 2 different cultures, i actually think its a blessing in disguise to be able view the world from 2 different aspects, and I don't have problems telling my parents anything as long as they know i'm not shaming them and getting good grades in school its all gravy.
Going to naij on the 23rd, SUYA!
I'M EDO
AND HOUSTON IS THE NIGERIAN CAPTIAL OF THE STATES. EVERYTIME I VISIT ITS STRAIGHT UP
MEMPHIS AND ATLANTA ALSO HAVE HUGE NIGERIAN POPULATIONS AS WELL....
EDIT - DIDNT KNOW THERE WERE THIS MANY NIGERIANS ON NIKETALK. SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE IN HIDING, LOL
