Re: France 1 Italy 3

But the above is ohsee's criteria. Not all Nigerians have the same criteria. I definitely do not. For me, I consider those Italian footballers to be Nigerians (in addition to being Italians) if THEY choose to lay claim to their Nigerian identity. I have nieces and nephews here in the US who have ne...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

:biggrin: OK. So it is not false that you agree with me on some things? I thought so. :biggrin: I too have zero interest in telling anyone what they can or cannot do. I have been in North America long enough to just smile at people who choose to embarrass themselves by doing crazy things. :biggrin:...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

:biggrin: Nice try. There is a difference between having an informed opinion :biggrin: , and, (a) telling people what to do, (b) doing whatever the hell you please. :biggrin: You yourself have already agreed that you cannot just go out and claim Nigerianess --you agreed with me that such is madness...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

My point remains. Yes, you can make a "reasonable claim" to be a member of whatever group you choose. But are you really? Those Italian footballers that are the original object of this discussion can make a "reasonable claim" to be Nigerian because they have Nigerian parents. Bu...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

:biggrin: But Chief, where have I said that I am the decider? How can I be the decider when I have said anybody is "free" to declare himself or herself whatever he or she wants? What I am actually saying is that there is much more to it than individual choice. Much, much more. If so, the ...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

Chief, you are right that we are talking about different things. As I said, I do agree with you that "a kid who has Nigerian plus another heritage [should be able to] claim the other heritage". That is part of my point about the black Italian footballers. I go further and say that they ar...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

I do not want to get into a long and complicated philosophical and sociological argument, so let us agree on what we agree on, and agree to disagree on what we don't agree on. :biggrin: I see that some of...

Re: France 1 Italy 3

She's both English and Nigerian (and Igbo). If, as you say, what defines people is the culture they grew up in, then this woman who had visited Nigeria and could speak Igbo had obviously been exposed to Nigerian culture when growing up. Her background sounds very similar to mine and I consider myse...
