Peculiar Conflicts

[Enlighten one :) 5]

I wanted to recommend a book for you and your significant others from Africa. The book deals with conflicts that stem from African cultural beliefs and norms. The Author, Femi Awodele is a Nigerian native that moved to America with his wife through the Visa Lottery. He is a Christian Marriage councilor that favors working things our and keeping the marriage together. He really supports the women in his writing. This book is beneficial for both the USC, but significantly for the African immigrating to America.

The book is under $10. I purchased it for $6 used, but took a long time to get. Just do not order from smokeybooks. It is a quick easy read. I am going to send it to my husband next week with a box of goodies. He is excited to receive the book.

No I am not trying to start a book club! Just a recommendation for reading!

In one section of the book he talks about an African living in London courting someone from his home town in Africa. Because he had all these nice clothing and had money in hand when he visited, she though he was rich. She was disappointed to discover his tiny apartment and credit debt living from check to check. I am sure this is a common problem as already mentioned in some forums. Expectations. Someone in Africa sees someone visit with even 5 pairs of shoes must assume that there is plenty of money to spare.

This is one peculiar conflicts. Expectations. To discoverer even when they get that job in the US making great money, but still hae to live pay check to pay check.
