Video of a African-American woman who moved to Nigeria 33 years ago and now calls it home. I LOLed when the host asked her about going back to America to visit... she said: "for what?"

Interesting. Its amazing how much Identity can affect your decisions.

[Onervemurce]

she has a weird accent? Is she Caribbean? Or has she picked up the Nigerian accent?
'

Anyway she can move to any nation she wants, but I do not like Americans moving abroad and trashing the United States on TV (like Madonna did)...not cool.

"slavery"? Is she crazy? She talks like she is stuck in 1965. I am not a slave and I live better than 98% of Nigerians (obviously there are Nigerians wealthier than me, but on average that is not the case) and my father fought and people in my family died to end Jim Crow and make this possible for all of us...to me she is spitting on them.

I'm proud to be American. I will move to Switzerland in December, but you won't catch me trashing my nation, where my ancestors fought and died. No, I'm going to battle those Euro anti-American jealous socialist every chance I get. They need "re-education". :-) God Bless America!


Oh yeah, look where that woman's kids are? Where? BACK IN THE USA, not in NIGERIA. LOL

She looks Fulani/Hausa from Northern Nigeria.

Her American accent is still there, but she slips into a Yoruba accent every now and then.

Lol! Well "home is where the heart is", so I guess she's found it in Nigeria. I think her 'slave talk' probably referring to being a 'slave' of the system or something in that nature. Then again, she left the USA in the late 1970s so she could be referring to the injustices/lack of opportunity/etc in her community at that time. Either way, I don't think she's spitting on anybody... she just doesn't find America interesting.

Meh.... not really. She could fit in the south without any problem. I guess she could also pass as Hausa, but not Fulani.

African Americans came from Nigeria, so it is assertive for her to call it home.

That more is the reason she calls it her home.

African-Americans come from America. Her ancestors may have come from Nigeria, but African slaves came from all over Western Africa.

Either way, I have no problem calling her Nigerian. She's not like most foreigners who come and still maintain their foreign identity.She came and adapted; practices the culture and even picked up the language.

She got back to her roots, you are right, not all afro-americans came from nigeria, but on her case probably hers did.

Maybe he meant somebody from Niger?

Anyway, i think its awesome for this woman that she went back to the motherland and has found an identity that completes her. Maybe someday i will too go back to the steppes of central asia riding my horse like a true magyar

My affinity is actually close to North Bantu and south Bantu, so no, not nigeria. More like Cameroon to Angola...many slaves came from there, not just Nigeria, actually most slaves did not come from Nigeria, just a large percentage.

The the word is Nigerid, I agree with you about her founding her identity.

I'm complete right now, if you aren't, you can seek professional help. My identity is defined by me, not where I am.

That is you, don't all people think the same.
