[Ricky Fontaine]

Lol jamacian and nigerian are two of the coolest black folks in the dispora.

Plenty of food laughs and a good time anytime u deal with them

Nigerians are in no way shape or form, diasporan.

Nigerians are in no way shape or form, diasporan.

When they are outside Nigeria (or the African continent) then yes, they are in the diaspora.

No, they're either travelers or emigrants. They are not "in the diaspora" whatever that means.

i'm not sure you know what diaspora means

di·as·po·ra
dīˈaspərə/
noun

1. the dispersion of the Jews beyond Israel.
   • Jews living outside Israel.
   • the dispersion of any people from their original homeland.

I understand that. What I don’t understand is how a continental African traveling abroad counts as “dispersion.”

From my understanding the term is used for non/unintentional separation of a people and their homelands.

No, it just means people outside of their homeland, regardless of whether or not that dispersion was intentional or not.

I remeber in college there were big debates as to if Nigerians in the diaspora were Nigerian-lite in that they would pick and choose what part of the Nigerian community to identify with and such.

Nigerian diaspora is massive. Huge numbers in the UK, US, Canada and now places like Australia, Malaysia and the EU.

You wouldn't have to steal shyt. There'd be so much food they'd literally be forcing you to take a lot home with you

Lies, if you are too late, the really good food that you want is all gone or you aren't getting what earlier folks got I know far too well

 

[generic-username]

All i see is people appropriating culture that is not theirs.

 

[AB Ziggy]

The correct Jollof

The Oxtail

Might just have to catch a charge and steal the food

Correct jollof? That is far from the truth

 

[Fani Willis fan]

That sounds like the best function of all time.
Only thing better would be Ghana and Jamaica

No goodlookin bytches pointless post

I'm not quite sure about this. The Congos weren't really an outpost for slave trade. If anything I'd tip my hat to Angola or Mozambique over the Congos.

Alot of Congolese were sent to South America and Cuba

There was alot of traffic between Cuba and Jamaica which are close to each other which is plausible the Congolese connection. Jamcaica has Akan and Congolese words in the patios

To a lesser extent they have descendents from parts of Sierra Leone and Mali(minority)
