The AfriMerican's Perspective

One of the main reasons that  immigrants  in  A merica  find it difficult to watch American football  is  that the rules are not as simple as their regular soccer that most of the ones who have lived in Africa or other Spanish nations may be  familiar with.  Before migrating to America, I was mainly used to watching soccer.    In Nigeria, soccer was quite a popular sport  and  had a considerable following, especially the English Premier League.  Define loyalty that existed in Nigeria was very strong; in some  cases,  you would see many fans showing their commitment to  En glish clubs while others would show their loyalty  2  Spanish or Italian clubs . I vividly remember this particular year, when Arsenal Football Club and Barcelona qualified for the Champions League final. In the city of Lagos , it was known that there was a lot of fighting between fans, and this was not just your regular...

  The only way that someone will be in a precise position to know and understand the ecosystem of an environment is if that individual has lived in that environment. But some may argue, does someone have to live in a place, community, or country to understand how they live? Is it possible that people may know an environment without having lived there?  The advent of the internet and the proliferation of smartphones has made information accessible to everyone. No one is incapable of finding out anything about an environment that captures their interest. This availability of information explains why it appears easy for immigrants to settle into their new country, and these days, culture shock seems to be diminishing.  Within the context of people who migrate from Nigeria, I should mention different categories and various reasons they migrate. Some have lived most of their lives in the rural regions, and on arriving in the US, these people will have a different experience th...

The digital rapture may just have taken place, but it is possible that despite the situation that the world is currently facing, most may not realize that the world as we know it may never be the same again. I have never seen anything that people felt slow to embrace like technology-related things. There may have been many reasons ranging from man-machine interactions that make certain people shy away from the use of computers, or even for religious reasons as described in this study that claims that the use of the internet has caused people to abandon their faith .   it could be due to some other external influence. For whatever reason, that one may think the reason for the slow embrace of technology, it appears that technology continues to surge ahead; as seen by the daily release of new apps with claims to work modern miracles that reduce our daily tasks. The word “rapture” is synonymous with Christian teachings that purport that people will suddenly disappear from the earth...

  Thanks for checking in. This is a space I created for myself to write about different topics that I find interesting. Sometimes, a Facebook post or Tweet may not be enough to express the totality of one’s thoughts, and as much as life’s busy schedule does not permit me to frequently air my opinions on social media, I have put up this space for sharing, teaching, venting, and generally saying it the way I see it. I do not like to take stances on sensitive topics and most of the topics I choose to write about may just be an attempt to explain occurrences from my own perspective. I currently live in the United States so I know that there must be some kind of amendment that gives me the right to say that I choose NOT to identify with any political group, religious group, hate group, and any other group that solely promotes division. What the world needs now is LOVE. By the way, if you do come across the amendment that gives me the right NOT to identify with anything, please send me...
