Nigerian girl "banished?"
I asked this one before, but I cannot find it anywhere. Two weeks ago one of my kindergarten students told me "My brother turned eight yesterday, but he did not banish me." I asked her what she meant, but she could not tell me. She is a little Nigerian girl. I am curious about what she means from a cultural standpoint. I do not know if this is a tribal or regional thing. I am just very curious about it. I could ask her parents, but I do not want to offend them. I have researched it, but cannot seem to find any answers.
