    This is happening to a lot of Nigerians. One of my uncle went through this as well. He was boarding a plane last month travelling to Minneapolis when he received a call that her mother was kidnapped, they asked him for a huge amount of money, few days later she was free. They are targeting people they think are rich, kidnap their family member to make money. So sad..

    Americanah realmente tocó en el fondo de mi corazón, me vi muchas veces identificada en la definición y re-enforzamiento de mi identidad y experimentando la añoranza del lugar en donde nací y crecí. Viviendo fuera de México mi identidad como latina creció, siempre he sentido un profundo amor y respeto a mi México, pero está vez creció mi amor por Latinoamerica, bien extendida desde México a todo el continente Americano.
    Además, estoy de acuerdo, el amor importa.

    Regards to the Nigerian, Ghanaian woman's comment on inheritance in Ghana. I want to put it right for the record that, Just as many tribes in various countries in Africa, Ghana has many tribes and their pattern of inheritance. In Ghana, only the Akans practice the matrilineal line of inheritance. Thanks

      Exactly that is what it means. Most of names starts with God and ends with its attributes or character. My name is Chukwuemeka. Chi and chukwu points to the universal God and our ancestors attached the character of God to our names. Ngozichukwuka means God's blessing is the greatest
