Welcome to Fufu Is Meant To Be Swallowed!
Its a blog about being a young Nigerian lady in America. The sites, the sounds, the culture, the funny, the good, the bad and the weird.
Obviously I'm Nigerian or of Nigerian descent. Actually, I'm half Nigerian ( my other parent isn't... yeah, yeah sort of like Obama) and I'm Igbo by tribe.
What does that mean? Nothing and everything. You see Igbo is to me a lost and hidden language. Its like Latin, there is little to no practical application for the tongue internationally yet its fun to use it when you are talking about people with your cousins.
seriously, Igbo or Ibo same thing is more then just a complex tongue its a culture a way of life which I will write more about later.
I want to dispel the myths about Africa and Nigeria. Such as "Nigerians are all scammers!" Not True, some Nigerians are scammers just like some people (Enron Corp, weird late night commercial people) who live in America are scammers. Needless to say, If you get an email from some distant Nigerian dude who is rich and wants to give you his hard earned money cus you live on the other side of the pond...its bull.
If you get an email from some beautiful African lady who wants to marry you only because you live on the other side of the pond ( not because you are wealthy, handsome, funny, extremely smart, talented or tall...its true all women like these things) then its some bull.
I'm just being honest. so whether you like it or hate her it is cus contrary to popular belief Nigerians are just like you and no matter what anyone says fufu is meant to be swallowed not chewed
