Same Race, Different Culture
I think Nigerian parents are the best comedians in the world, especially when they're not trying. Here is a HILARIOUS video from Adeola Oladele at African Spotlight interviewing some Nigerian parents in New York asking whether Nigerians must marry each other. I swear each of these parents remind me of a particular auntie or uncle I know. Especially the dude talking all loud on his cell phone in the background.

I remember this video! I found it hilarious as well even though it was somewhat sad. And I loved the man giving his email address while speakin Yoruba, at one point in the background video.
ReplyDeleteI 'discovered' your blog today and have read through it. It is great that you're discussing about interracial relationships as a Nigerian (I assume?).

ReplyDeleteYes, I just played it again and laughed so hard I started tearing up! Whoo! I needed a good laugh. And I just caught the whole email address thing, you have really good hearing!
Thank you for visiting and reading. I pretty much write as "me" rather than marketing myself into any specific box. Similarly, I hope my writing challeneges assumptions that we all have about race and love.
Oh, and I agree with you, while funny, this video is sad...
ReplyDeleteSorry for the double posting!

I think I just watched the video a lot of times!

Fair enough :D

I hope so too! And so far I think you're doing great. It seems you've only recently started blogging, I can't wait to read what you put up next.
