Well you can obviously tell that I am Nigerian by my blog. I was not born in Nigeria, but as a child I was raised in a Nigerian Culture. There are many tribes in Nigeria that consist of Hausa- Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Kanuri, Annang, Tiv, Ibibio, Etsako, and Efik. Among all of these tribes, I am Yoruba. When I was a child I ate Nigerian food at home and did things differently than other kids. In my home, we spoke Yoruba and English. My parents started talking the Yoruba dialect to me at a young age and now I am able to understand it today. I struggle sometimes talking back because I understand the dialect more than I can speak it. My parents were very strict on me as I was growing up and I did not have a lot of freedom. They always taught me to have manners and be respectful. They also taught me to not be like the hoodlums in my neighborhood. I was not a part of that group, I was always a respectful and kind young child especially in school. There is a little about me and I hope you enjoyed it.
