It’s more complex than that, idk about any other igbo people raised in a traditional house or a house with heavy traditions but there are things like I have a HARD time looking people in the eyes especially people who are older than me because that’s disrespectful in nigeria but seen as dishonest in america :// my brothers never call me by my first name, only a title that gives me respect as the oldest and only sister and my dad (the oldest child and firstborn son) does the same with his own sister. sooo

Oh, yeah…maybe I should just…throws idea away There. I’m kinda disappointed because I had ideas for her, but I really don’t want to be disrespectful.

there’s the nicknames my dad calls me like “ada”, “obi na” < literally mean’s daddy’s heart etc. etc. Whenever I greet someone (a fellow igbo person) I always say Mazi uncle/aunty [name] and kinda like bow?? there’s ofc nigerian pidgin which you learn to speak when your around nigerian people, it’s a form of english that has been simplified for nigerians to communicate. It has a grammatical way of working and if you don’t speak it well you’ll just sound weird and disrespectful. (same with aave) and there’s like the words in igbo that you don’t know the direct translation but ur parents use it like “All this wahala” (trouble) “Chineke” (litterally means God kinda used in situations like oh mY gOD) and then you have the foods and stuff and what your placement is in the house (firstborn child, firstborn son, etc. etc.) !! a lot of stuff !! and i’m wary of non-nigerians writing it bc there’s not a lot of articles on it u kinda have to be in that enviorment yk

This! Omg if I look at my mom directly at her eyes she would be angry at me, but if I do it o my non-Nigerian American friends they think I’m lying.
I wish my younger siblings practice this 
but we do it to my cousins (which of course confuses non-nigerians)
