Thanks so much for tuning in!
I’m African American and my DNA tests shows I’m about 25 percent Nigerian - and my mom is about 30 percent Nigerian. This makes sense because my mom has a lot of ancestry from Virginia and we know a lot of people from the region known as Nigeria today were brought to Virginia. Some of my Nigerian ethnic groups are Igbo, Yoruba and Ijaw. So I’m trying to learn how to make some Jollof and Moi Moi 😂 I would love to visit Nigeria someday.
To call someone a 'special breed' is actually a compliment, it is more to do with positive/uncommon character, traits or abilities than race. You just misunderstood the term.
I have to comment on this issue. I am a Russian man and my wife is a Nigerian. She told me something very similar to this topic. She said anytime she sees any African american, she always get some kind of reaction within her deep in her soul, she said it feels like she is related to them(African American) and I asked her why do she feel that way, and she said because during the slave trade, her ancestor's brother, cousin, uncles and any of the relatives could have been taken too. So when she see any descendant of the slave trade victim, she feel like she is related to them.
"Special breed" isn't what it sounded like. In naija speak, it really just means special.
I had my DNA and was revealed 51% Nigerian, 3% Amazonian, 1% Angolan.I talk to many Nigerians daily and one is your Nollywood actor i feel closer to Nigerians than SA. I see a lot of similarities between Nigerians and Black Americans. I've always longed to go to Africa. I'd rather go to Nigeria than Ghana. Monifee my Nigerian brothers and sisters 🖤🙏🏿
When you have experienced racism you will never make that statement about the N word. I'm south African so am very aware about racism. Our brothers from the west haven't experienced it as hard as some of us. In SA you will go to jail for calling someone a racist word. That is why we can easily relate to black America. Our history is the same.
As long as you are black I see you as an African. I'm Nigerian, Ogoni by tribe ❤❤❤
Well the 1st guy meant well. Maybe wrong choice of word "special breed" but in his context i think he meant, "unique people". Most African Americans came from West Africa. So i as a Nigerian see African Americans as our people accross the Western Hemisphere who have adapted and evolved the African culture, spirit and soul in the so called "New world". We just got to learn and understand each other to bridge the gap.
African Americans are brothers and sisters who grew up in different lands, we love you and that's all that matters.
Most Nigerians and Africans are welcoming, understanding, genuinely intrigued by african Americans and your culture like a missing relative, we are awaiting your return. Hoping to share stories, experiences, we acknowledge differences and respect them.
As a collective group black Americans have never wronged ANY gruopor ethnicity. We been welcoming and for a long time at that. We upheld and pushed for black unity and pan-africanism. But at some point the like minded brothers and sisters from the diaspora stopped coming and the only people who starting coming was people either willing to undermine and sabotage our efforts or those who were willing to stand with the oppression class. WE fought for immigration but then the people we thought were allies decided that we demanded too much and were ungrateful. Nevermind the fact that until now, we have never advocated
The best person to understant this question is a Nigerian who lives in America or who grew up in America as a young person. These days, there are so many Nigerians who live in the U.S and who have Kids born in the USA, that the differences are not that much any more. These Nigerians could be divided into two groups. The Nigerians who educate themseves about the African American History and culture and the Nigerians who just live here in the U.S and just observed the African American ways of life. All people of African origin share lots similar features and genetics with their fellow African American or African Caribbean and South American of African descent. The difference has always been the envirolment one grew up in.
Special breed in Naija English is a good compliment please
As a Nigerians and Yoruba by tribe, i know the history but I see myself in every African American. Our stories our singular as a people, but our destinies are shared. We are one people.
African Americans ARE a tribe unto themselves with a DISTINCT culture characterized by values of RESILIENCE, RESOURCEFULNESS AND DEFIANCE shaped by over 400 years of what they have endured. These qualities have made African Americans distinguish themselves broadly as creative, athletic, talented, and have given African Americans keen sense of Empathy, justice & fairness.
I have lived in NYC for 27 years. I did experience the alienation of Africans in the late 90s and early 2000s from African Americans. So it was a thing. Not very prominent in today's world, but it is still there.
So love African Americans, especially their accent. I love their women. I crush so much on them.
In Louisiana Okra (okwuru an Igbo word) is called "Okri", in French its called "gombo", in Creole it's called "Févi" which is a word the Fon people of Benin
