I have never been to Nigeria so I do not know...Nigerian posters can get me squared away if I'm in error.

I've not studied the country extensively, but I know it was colonized by the British.

I only bring that up because anytime I see some shyt like this - when someone is adamant about making someone else put themselves in a subservient role - I instantly start thinking their culture has Western European influence...cause what the fukk is that even about, especially to this degree?

I could be wrong, and like someone else alluded to here, this could be just for the cameras.

I'll just say if I was ole girl, I'd be out. Can't imagine what that situation would like if she had kids and that was their grandmother.
Im not Nigerian, but I have been to the continent several times.

I can tell you across the continent respect of your elders, no matter how old you are, is of the up most importance. Especially when it comes to in- laws. Dowry, and other customs, are still in full effect. There are tribal/clan customs that are expected to be followed. Some people adhere to them more than others.

Nigerian women, especially Yoruba, are more animated in their speech/behaviours, so it comes off a bit harsh. But believe you me, even if she said nothing to that woman, she would tell her son not to marry her in private. You have to treat your in-laws of the up most respect.

This has nothing to do with westerm influence. Don't even give them that credit.

Have you not seen Nigerians prostrate to their elders before?

She’s lucky that’s a NICE NICE Black American woman

Because a regular nice Black American person would’ve stomped out anyone with a funny accent getting disrespectful like that

Glad we off that Old World behavior mostly

This is a good scenario for a black rom-com movie

Is there a good one on Nollywood?


haven't seen these

a.i generated:

My American Nurse (2006)
  • Synopsis: Directed by Pascal Atuma, this comedy-drama centers on Shehu (Pascal Atuma), a Nigerian man living in the U.S., who marries Paula (Vida Darko), a Black American nurse, to secure a green card. Their sham marriage turns into a real relationship, but not without hilarious and heartfelt cultural misunderstandings.
  • Cultural Clash: Paula’s Black American sass and independence collide with Shehu’s traditional Nigerian views on gender roles and marriage, leading to comedic moments (e.g., debates over food like fufu vs. soul food) and eventual mutual understanding.
  • Reception: A popular Nollywood classic in the diaspora market, it’s loved for its humor and relatable take on cross-cultural romance. It’s available on platforms like iROKOtv or Amazon Prime.

a.i geenerated:

Anchor Baby (2010)
  • Synopsis: Directed by Lonzo Nzekwe, this drama follows Joyce (Omoni Oboli), a Nigerian woman, and Paul (Sam Sarpong), her Black American husband, as they navigate life in the U.S. while facing immigration challenges. When Joyce is deported back to Nigeria, the cultural disconnect between her Nigerian roots and Paul’s African-American background becomes a poignant subplot.
  • Cultural Clash: Paul’s Black American identity—shaped by a Western, urban upbringing—clashes with Joyce’s Nigerian traditions and family expectations, especially around marriage and survival strategies. The film subtly contrasts African-American and Nigerian approaches to resilience and family.
  • Reception: Critically praised for its emotional depth and realistic portrayal of immigrant struggles, it won awards like Best Film at the 2010 Harlem International Film Festival. It’s a Nollywood diaspora film with a strong Black American character presence, available on platforms like YouTube or iROKOtv.

I didn’t think this would make it to the Coli :deadrose:



Listen, I’m fully walking away from that situation :hubie:


I don’t want that energy around my future child. I wouldn’t trust her for nothing.

*turns to Gloxina*

"IN NIGERIAN CULTURE YOU MUST RESPECT ME OVER YOURSELF :damn: :damn: :damn: "


*turns to grandchild*

"OH JEEZOS, THIS BABY IS A GIFT FROM GOD"

*turns to son*


"YOU MUST DIVORCE THIS WOMAN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU RUIN THE CHILDS LIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFEEEEEE"

Also, I’ve been to Nigeria and everyone I’m friends with has “house help” so I didn’t lift a damn finger to do anything when I was out there and that’s how they live DAILY. They have those customs, of course, but none of them do any housework anyway :mjlol:
