many eccentricities and exceptions.

sometimes

some call it soccer and others call it football, and these may dazzle you for
some time.

has its unique sayings and proverbs. They way they greet each other in Bayelsa
is very different from that of Ogun. However with time you start loving what

previously. You start realizing what your culture truly means and how you can
portray it to your loved one.

accents limit their speakers from pronouncing certain alphabets correctly. For example
someone from Calabar could want to say ‘junction’ but says ‘yunction.’ But this
could be humorous for you as you start appreciating these elements in your
loved one.

When you are used to
being surrounding by your own culture all your life and become in a
relationship with a someone completely different, you tend reevaluate your
thoughts on cultural and racial identity.

Whether it is “I love/Mo
ni’fe re’” saying these and expressing them in a different tone and language
other than yours is eye-opening to the language of love.

If you make mistakes or
have a misunderstanding because of certain things in your loved one’s culture
you do not know about, it is easier to get away with it.
