Which country would you say I am from based on my life story?

[DDe]

Born and raised in London to Nigerian Parents (I was in Nigeria between ages 2-4/2-5).

Mum, born in England, but Dad wasn't.

I then resided in Nigeria from age 13-21.

Came back to London at age 21, and have been there for the past 7 and half years.

I support both England and Nigeria in football.

British with Nigerian heritage.

I would say you were British with Nigerian heritage, but I think you get the final say - if you said you were Nigerian I wouldn't contradict you!

Not sure if this is a trick question but you’re from the UK.

Are you the poster who comes quite periodically about the Nigerian British heritage thing?
You are British with Nigerian heritage. Or British Nigerian. It's still the same as mkonths ago

British with Nigerian heritage. If you have an accent however, I imagine you'd be commonly mistaken for being Nigerian/born in Nigeria.

@BlumminFreezin , my accent is still predominantly a London accent with some tints of Nigerian in it but it's not very noticeable.

Funny enough my cousins that live in the UK now, told me that my accent has never changed, never had a Nigerian one 😁

Not again! You post this all the time, OP. Why do you think it’s Mn’s job to sort out your complex about this? Get some RL help.

Yes, it won’t have changed since your last post.

You are the one who knows with which culture you identify more? My ex was born here but left to another country for half of his life and even though he is British born he identify as more with the country he moved to. Reject British values and do not want to come back ever. A friend was born here to Portuguese parents but she feels half and half.

Haven't you posted this question many times on here?

I always thought where you are "from" is where you were born.

My friend was born in Kenya to British parents who were working there.
Later returned to Britain. Then the family migrated to Australia.
She is British.

@DDe what do you think?
Which would you prefer ?
I’ve not seen any other posts

Up to you surely? I was born in the UK but my mum is from another European country (you can probably guess which). I spent every summer holiday there until the age of 18 but have spent less than a year there since then. I still sometimes tick 'White Other' on ethnicity questions and consider myself both British and xxx.

Yes my family member was born on Germany to British parents , his dad was in the RAF . Moved back to Britain . He is British

@Imbusytodaysorry , it's funny how at different stages of my life, I felt one over the other.

But now definitely both, strong ethnic heritage influences coupled with upbringing in England makes me both I feel

Id say you're from Britain.

As other posters have said, British but if you said you were Nigerian wouldn’t have any issues.

If you substituted Nigeria for Wales I think people would be more inclined to say you were Welsh and not English.

This!

Do you feel that’s nice way to feel ?
Id also say you are British with Nigerian heritage.

You were born in Britain and have spent about 2/3 of your life here.

OP, kindly, if you live in London, surely you encounter people who have exactly the same kind of heritage and life experiences as you on a daily basis? Why not talk about it with them, ask how they identify, or how they navigate their heritage, rather than continually asking the identical question on here? I would understand your obvious confusion if you’d moved back from Nigeria aged 21 to somewhere very white, with a static population, but you’re a Londoner! I’m a foreigner who lived in London for many years, and while obviously I was still from my home country, I also felt absolutely a Londoner after a few years - it felt like a very flexible, accommodating identity.

And it's fine to be/feel both and fine if this changes from time to time. You don't have to define things for the sake of other people.

I honestly think you're both.
