We will alway be foreigner .Loosing our mothers tongue is double jeopardy.It is like loosing our culture, That is one of the reason the black Americans are like Bats today.
I have heard that so many times, i got many cousins and friends born here to Nigerian parent, woulnt u think they would consider themselves to be nigerians, heck no, they believe they are African-Americans. I have a particular cousin, b4 i say anythin he says to me, you African, you African, i'll be like what about you, aint you African? he would be like heck no, i was born here, so i am African-American, most Nigerian born abroad are like that except a very very few of them can identify with their culture, esp. when they've never been home and there parents do not teach them about their rich heritage all they tell them about is how much their country is nuthin but hell.
