musawuroyalbeauty said: “Well we can’t blame her if she didn’t visit her father’s land for 20 years. First, it’s the parents’ responsibilities to educate their children about their cultures and their roots. If her dad doesn’t take her to Nigeria often, how do you expect her to know? Stop finding fault in her. I’m also mix with 4 different African countries but American 🇺🇸..”
