Did the rights of the African Americans improved because Obama became president?

Infact, the systematic marginalization increased under his watch.

Like I said, you're only reacting to the surface issues, kindly do more research.

Thank you.

What do you mean rights ? Every American has the same right.
Now on issue of race and marginalization, progress takes time it not as if he can snap his finger and all this issue will go away and that in the face of GOP total opposition - issues they support before they no longer support because of a democratic president and infact the leadership want obama to be a one time president, go learn how government works.

Blacks abroad looking down on blacks in Nigeria and other blacks not in their social standing.

Blacks attempting to dupe fellow blacks and even eyeing their women.

As for racism, that thing is evil. It was showed to me and I retaliated by showing to them.
Most Africans also look down on African Americans too
Like our parents would see them and be like they’re ill mannered, rebels, drug addicts & wannabe thugs

Are you currently living outside Nigeria?

You mean the puppet?
Maybe you do not understand how the system work, you're only reacting to the surface issues.

Obama was president of the US, did it change anything for the brown people?

Some Nigerians are very superstitious when it comes to Japa affairs. Some are afraid of being in an environment whose language they don't understand while some are scared of the cost of living and some are uncomfortable about their safety in their new location.

Let's talk, what scares you the most about relocating abroad?




1. Waking up and just seeing white people everywhere with few blacks

2. Waking up to see that I can't slaughter a chicken and goat when I feel like is quite traumatizing shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

- Starting all over
- Racism. How free can I ever be in a place that is not mine or at best where can only become mine based on a few pieces of paper they give to me. Anytime things don't go the way the indigenes want it, they tag me Nigerian born.....
- Cold
- Fear of not being able to be hard on my children when I am supposed to be. I mean, the concept of "no right or wrong" doesn't cut it for me.

If you are not an introvert and a Loner by nature, then abroad is not for you. Abroad is where people mind their businesses, it's not a social gathering place

That is the trick of the trade. Every year, the county swings by and tell you that your house has appreciated. Now your tax will appreciate too

Nothing d scare me . I no come here come stay forever. Thank God I am an introvert and I have a thick skin. I no come look any oyibo man face and I didn’t come to make any yeye friendship . My wife sick and elderly patient that can barely move or talk told her once in my present not to have kids with this black man. The family and everyone was shocked … perhaps they hold the same view… they apologized. I smiled and told them, he should be more worried about his health than me having a child. I don’t accept invitations for dinner or parties, I deh my lane and I over like am. Many of them are so concern they ask me about my experience with racism… my reply is always simple … no body can be racist to me. You will see security personnel at shopping centers taken a kin look at you and observing your every move.

You married to a Caucasian??

As a Muslim, I believe I'm so weak in believe that staying in the west can render me religiously useless.

How do I raise my children in such an environment where LGBTQ and all other atrocities are rampant?

Life is not about riches alone. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know that.

Ever gone through the experience before? Please how did you manage to overcome it


I know this is not right. But I know someone that has the same issue and the drugs below helped them.

I'm not a doctor. Neither am I trying to prescribe drugs.

Use at your own risk.


Tab piriton 2 daily for 7 days

Tab prednisolone 5mg (ie 1 morning, 1 night) for 7 days

Antihistamine nasal inhaler

Tab vit C 1000mg (1 morning, 1 night) for 2 weeks. You can be repeating the vit C occasionally.

MY NOSTRIL WAS PARTIALLY BLOCKED FOR YEARS. IF ONE NOSTRIL FREED UP, THE OTHER GOT BLOCKED.

WENT TO THE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL (the E.N.T department), DID ALL KINDS OF X RAY.
IN THE END, ANTIBIOTICS AND ACTIFED WAS PRESCRIBED TO BE TAKEN FOR A LONG TIME. I WAS ALMOST BOOKED FOR SURGERY BUT THE DRUGS WORKED. I WAS HAPPY.

BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN.
I SIMPLY LEARNT TO LIVE WITH IT.

You seem to know how things should work in developed countries, but I don't think you have any practical experience of living abroad.
