Ok i must fess up.(if you can call it that) i do not hate white people.Meaning i date white women -with glee.I know some naija folks here who think its a badge of honour to say they dont date whites or non-Nigerians or people not from their villages,or not their part of the street in their villages bla bla bla you get the pattern?
I dont see what colour has to do with a little bit of ………..Well, on the real some of us left naija not necessarily because naija was not liveable but for the quest to see the world beyond our land, see what the world has to offer in every sense of the word. So why would i get here and all a sudden develop the kind of attitudes if white people were to display would qualify them as racist bigots. If she has what i want in a woman and is down damn we riding.Race plays a secondary if any role in who i socialise with.
Anyhow this particular entry came about due to some funny incident last week.There is naija sista i met recently.I went to drop her at her place sometime ago,parked the ride and was looking for a parking meter while she sat in the car.I saw this flash car pulling into a parking space few yards from the meter with a black guy behind the wheel waving , pointing excitedly,you know naija stlye.Wondered who it was but suspected it must be someone i knew.He parked , came out and turned out to be a good friend i havent seen for almost 5-6 years . London is like that sometimes.`Hey whats up whats up child bla bla bla`he said.Asked what i was doing in his area.Was shocked he lived there because that was the third time i went to drop that sista off.Told him i was surprised he lived there there and that i had been there twice before and would have looked him up for sure, so i told him i came to drop off a girlfriend of mine living there to which he replied `You and your oyinbos. I know you only date white girls`. I said no,she is not white , shes black, naija actually.Told my friend the sista`s street and first name and God he seemed like he just swallowed a golf ball or something.Asked him if he knew her and he said not really.Anyway we exchanged digits and i went back to my car.
Begged her pardon for coming back a bit later than usual and told her about my friend.Transpired that sometime ago they used to meet at their local tube station on the way to work . He asked her out but she turned him down.Tried a couple of times again, no show so n***ga gave up.A story my friend confirmed.
That will teach him not to tag people like me with `Oyinbos only labels`.
