Chapter 14

Parents

Siblings

Friends

Classmates

Teachers

Father: As an African man my father is the head of the family. He heads the House like some sort of king leaving us to be his slaves lol. He holds major power. Decides what and what not. But

Mother: No matter how hard headed and tough my father is, no decision can be made without my mothers consent. It is quite impossible so I get a bit confused as to who is actually the head and who holds more power. There is no political negotiation between us.

Siblings: I️ am the youngest of 3 and the only girl so of course my brothers have power over me even though I️ hate I️t. They get to say or do what ever they want but when I️t comes to me they get to decide if it’s “appropriate “ or “okay” for me to do.

Friends: No matter the situation in my friend group no one holds more power but sometimes I️ feel like I️ do cause whenever something happens they always turn to me for advice or help and I️t almost seems like my “advice “ is stamped.

Classmates: I️ do not think anyone holds any power. We are all in the same class for a reason, to learn from ourselves and the teacher.

Teachers: in the classroom and even outside the classroom I️ believe my teachers have all the power. They get to decide how I️ do most of my work,how I️ y’all in class and if my work is worth getting a good grade. That’s why I try as much as possible to do my work and be respectful cause where I️ come from you can get an F for just being disrespectful to your professor 🤷🏽‍♀️. There is no political negotiation

Interview

Dr. Angela Howell

November,2017.

I️ interviewed my friend/high school class mate Ogechi Okoro, from Nigeria

My name is Ogechi okoro, I️ am an international student from Nigeria and I️ attend CCBC and I️ hope to become a Doctor.

My parents moved to the United States in December 2016 because my father was transferred for a job and my siblings and I️ moved as soon as we were done with our secondary school (high school)March this year for better education. The language barrier is annoying because you really can’t make friends here without trying to speak like them. I️ tell lots of jokes that back home it’s actually really funny but here it’s tagged as offensive or rude or they don’t even understand the words that are coming out of my mouth. Health care here is pretty much great, back home the good hospitals and all are for the rich and that’s stamped!

Gender roles are very different here than back home, back home “ woman no fit talk to man anyhow nau, that one na slap e go receive “ (a woman can not talk to a man without respect) but here I️ won’t say it’s completely equal but I feel like women have more say to be honest.

Working and studying here is a lot better because in Nigeria you can’t really get a decent job until you are done with school, most times even when you are you just go home and be a waste lol. But here you can do summer job and work where ever even when you are 16. As for schooling it’s better because they don’t always have strike that’ll hold your 4year course to 10 years. Here nothing holds you back except fees and yourself.

So much truth in this GIF.

Race/Racism

Outward appearance is used to judge people and it’s sickening, I was taught to never judge a book by its cover. As black Americans we all see and know racism is real. Everyday we see and hear outrageous stories,about the police shooting unjustly and stuffing the prison with black mostly innocent men and women all because of the color of our skin.

Block Mapping Of Pentwood Rd opposite Morgan State University. Houses there are town houses,most of them were old and the environment/neighborhood was quiet. Seemed like an environment that has retired people,grandparents and little kids. The road was busy in the morning but then as time went on,it became sort of empty (hardly saw cars)

CULTURE:NIGERIAN ETHNIC GROUPS AND THEIR CULTURES

People & Culture A land of many people Within its vast area, Nigeria has over 250 different ethnic groups, all with their own languages and heritage. English in Nigeria Following the country’s colonial past – see History & Politics – the official language is English. But depending on their education – see Education & Jobs, many people are are not fluent in English and for informal occasions, most people prefer to speak in their mother tongue. ‘Pidgin’ English is also used in casual conversation; this is a mixture of English and Nigerian words. The largest groups are the Hausa in the north, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Igbo (or Ibo) in the southeast, who account for around a fifth of the population each. The languages of these three groups can therefore be used in government. Other large groups include the Ijaw in the east and the Fulani in the north. The religious divide Nigeria is divided into 36 states. In the 13 northern states, the vast majority of people are Muslim. The Hausa have been Muslims for almost a thousand years, having been converted to Islam by Arab traders and merchants from the 10th century. Sharia law Sharia law was introduced into the northern Nigerian states from 2000. This is a code for how Muslims should lead their lives. It is thought to have been drawn up by Muslim scholars in the early centuries of Islam, with parts of it taken directly from the Koran. As in other countries, northern Nigeria uses the code as a basis for its criminal law. However, some of the harsher penalties, such as death-by-stoning for adultery, have never been carried out. Extremist groups have grown more popular in the north, mainly because of widespread poverty and frustration over corruption and lack of development – see North. In the southern states, the majority of Nigerians are Christian, while some groups continue to practice indigenous beliefs. Generally, religion is taken very seriously. Most people will attend church on a Sunday and make frequent references to God or Jesus in everyday conversation. Southern indigenous faiths centre around a belief in spirits and also in a supreme being or creator, known as Olorun/Olodumare in Yoruba culture and Chineke/Chukwu by Igbo people. Traditional culture and dress A woman wearing patterned clothing, Nigeria A youngster wearing traditional clothing Dyeing and weaving Local craftsmen are skilled in dyeing and weaving techniques. Hand-patterned cloth is known as adire, where patterns are created by making certain parts of the material resistant to dyes – see Textiles. Asa-oke is made up of hand-woven strips of colourful cloth. In the north, women wear long flowing robes and headscarves, though they rarely cover their faces. In the south, women may choose to wear Western-style clothes for everyday wear, often buying cheap second-hand items in markets. But on Sunday, most women in the south will put on their best traditional clothes and headdresses. These are frequently made from locally produced and dyed fabrics. Www. Our-africa.org
