Am half nigerian, half nigerian. And Am not a refugee

sandijey: Yoruba/ itshekiri.

Mother yoruba, father itshekiri. Ekiti/delta. But I am more of Yoruba. Speak it and understand it. Don't understand itshekiri and I have never been to delta.

my friend knows a lady with your combination who knows almost nothing about her yoruba side.

NigellusHosan: Dad...Ibo
Mum...Isoko..

All na 1 Naija..

thank u ooo

hardbody: Popsie was a full fledged igbo man, him carry waka enter Calabar, my momsie show am skills for akpako and food things, the man gently marry the woman, na so i become half igbo and half calabar.

were you full "insert something here" before?

Wow.......

chukxie: Mom's Esan (Ekpon to be precise) and Dad's from Akwa Ibom. It's fun to have cousins from both sides-- paternal and maternal.

is it?

MissMeiya:

"Mixed heritage"

you're not of mixed heritage in the context of the thread, if both your parents are from the same tribe.

your context would be mixed heritage by nationality, not tribe.

sandijey:



Wow.......

she probably does now though.

She's learning.

I miss the party sha....
Proud Yorutsekiri here

I love Nigeria

Chiamaka01: Aren't there more mixed heritage NLers?

imo, mixed nairalanders probably make up about 30%, (could be higher), but most of them prefer to keep low profiles.

some non-mixed also pretend to be mixed, for reasons best known to them (it IS nairaland after all, fake monikers/personas are a bit on the high side).

Dad-Enugu state
Mumsy- isoko delta state
paternal grandparents- thesame village different quarters
maternal grandparents-delta state isoko and kwale

all4naija: OP is biased! Mixed heritage can also include one of the parents being white, yellow or black. Aye!

there are threads for nairalanders of mixed races, i can look those up for you.

This particular thread is for people who are from different tribes within nigeria.

all4naija: OP is biased! Mixed heritage can also include one of the parents being white, yellow or black. Aye!

Leave the OP alone, it's her thread after all, this is the first time I've seen a thread dedicated to mixed tribal/heritage Nigerians. There are threads already that are dedicated to IR and mixed race Nigerians, so go there. I find the OP's thread interesting

It's more interesting this way isn't it? My dad is Egun (Lagos) and my mum is Ibibio (from Akwa Ibom) but we all speak Yoruba and English. My brother married an Ikwerre lady (Rivers) and my fiancee is Bini.
We're Nigerian like that

Okay! Have it to yourselves alone. And, one thing! Don't forget to eat. Racist!

Hey half breed confused fellow, this is a thread for full blooded African people, not half neanderthals like you. Please find your way.

this matter is paining you so much, what a pity.


misplaced aggression, hope you're not depressed.

anyway, I've pulled some some mixed race threads for you, check my previous post.

Its really pathetic though, when people throw hissy fits because they're not the centre of attention.

This is why I detest mixed marriages. It destroys languages and cultures.

in what way?

Your 'father' and your 'dad'

Freelancer00: My father is 'Eko Epe', my dad is 'Ijebu Epe'. I guess I'm mixed

Not always true. I'm a mix myself and I speak fluent Yoruba along with some Efik. It depends on the parents' willingness to pass down their cultural context and awareness. And by the way, the current cultures and languages here came from interaction and mixing with others as well. For example the word for 'onion' in Yoruba, 'Alubosa' is actually a Hausa word which was adopted after interaction with the Hausa people. Culture is fluid, not static. Don't be afraid of change. As long as that basic African awareness is incorporated into the new culture, we're good to go. It's better to have an English speaking generation of Nigerians who respect their Africanness and prosper with mutual cooperation than millions of native language dolts who kneel to foreign gods and destroy their own economy by chasing imports and foreign fads, which is what we have currently.
