I’ve noticed amongst the host population, that people are far more forthcoming about their family history, whether it be good bad or indifferent (they even document it in public libraries).<br /><br />Some Nigerians, take this racial purity thing a bit too far. They pride themselves as being pure “African” , “Negro”, whatever (what is pure?). <br /><br />(Maybe it is a reaction to years of negative influence about being black)<br /><br />Nothing wrong with that, but that doesn’t make you any better than anyone else.<br /><br />From what I’ve discovered if you delve far back enough into anyone’s family history, there is no “pure” anything. Believe it or not, people are just human beings. When you recognise that, one is not so hung up on their family background or others for that matter.CodLiverOilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065155093164512390[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-9638225102708653722010-07-22T15:37:29.155+01:002010-07-22T15:37:29.155+01:00@CodLiverOil - is Nigeria a part of Britain now and what is with the implied shame of having some white ancestry?Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-3864661758509366642010-07-22T13:03:03.551+01:002010-07-22T13:03:03.551+01:00The sun should just shut up!Jajahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07353421359476375403[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-34391074408546701572010-07-22T01:52:13.296+01:002010-07-22T01:52:13.296+01:00When tens of millions of babies are born every year. It is not out the realm of possibility that rare genetic combinations can occur. You have con-joined twins etc. <br /><br />In Australia, they were reported to be British of Igbo Nigerian origin.<br /><br />The other thing to note, that Nigerians unlike much of the rest of Britain, are very cagey about coming clean on family history. Anything that is perceived as not being flattering to the family background is covered with the all encompassing “we have not heard of anything like this in the family”, or “we don’t have anything like this in the family”. I’m not casting doubt on what they are saying (probably what they are saying is completely true), but I’m simply stating that anyone trying to research into the family history as regards Nigerians is on a hiding to nothing.<br /><br />Congratulations to the parents on the latest addition to the family.CodLiverOilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11065155093164512390[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-3967277232366865082010-07-22T01:50:21.943+01:002010-07-22T01:50:21.943+01:00well the doctors should determine the reason,people on the discussion boards are coming up with a fourth option; she cheated on her husband, i only hope she isnt being accused in Nigeria, we all know how vicious and accusatory humans can get, worse if the human is nigerian then the drama takes on a whole new level lolFormerly stealth readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659717594240165429[email protected]
