[@nachomansandyravage2346]

This is literally my wife and I. I am a fat white man and she is a beautiful dark skinned Nigerian woman. This show is spot on with their culture too. They're really talking yoruba, the way they represent how the Nigerian people are, all accurate. This my wife and I's favorite show currently. A big oshey for making this show

This is childish. Must u include ur ethnicity. Must everything be all about ethnicity? What is important here is she is Nigerian, period.

I 100% agree with you brother..I can tell the difference bw Nigerians and Ghanians by their names.I mean most often..Im a Liberian by the way.My unborn children must have a true African name

[@KBZee-nf3ff]

Eric Neuville Not always, I’m Nigerian but have a Turkish origin last name ( I know why too) and no I’m not mixed but full Nigerian. I know people with Danish Last names, Portuguese , Spanish , English, Dutch and even Japanese sounding (They’re not Japanese of course ) last names Our stories as Nigerians goes a long way . I love the Potpourri of cultures and identity that make up the country 🇳🇬🤓

[@TheNyakaat]

@@KBZee-nf3ff I don't think you got his point. He means if a name is indigenous to either Nigeria or Ghana, then he can tell the difference. Your point would have been stronger if you made reference to Nigerian names from the minority tribes. I am from the southern part of Kaduna (and no, I am not Hausa!) but I am almost certain that my Nigerian name and surname will be names you've never heard before.

Y'all saying she butchered her name are ridiculous. Evidently y'all know how to correctly pronounce it. I'm sure she didn't decide to be on stage, look in the camera and say it wrong. She tried, damn.

[@gayl01319]

I have to say I LOVE Folake Olowofoyeku. I liked Billy Gardell on Mike and Molly. I loved the cast on Mike and Molly. I did not think the writer for Molly did a good job. I have sat down and bought each season due to liking Abishola so much. (I am white). To any Nigerians out there on this board, the clothing OH MY GOSH HOW BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING!!!! I love the Indians in India’s clothing and their beauty but the Nigerians sure aren’t shorted on the talent and BEAUTIFUL clothing WOW! The episode of the wedding OH HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! I get SO TIRED of people focusing on race being a negative, WHY is it a negative when each of us should be the best representative of our race, our people, our family and cultures. There is a smorgasboard of beauty, education, lovely sharing of each other’s lives and experiences. People CAN BE and SOME ARE BEAUTIFUL and are a PURE PLEASURE to talk to and get to know.

Appreciate Mr Gardell explaining that the inflections put on a word can change the meaning. Several times "Bob" was corrected for supposedly mispronouncing a word (I thought he'd said it properly) and wondered had I heard him wrong. Nice to know a word can have four different meanings depending on HOW you say the word.
