Katsumoto: You don't even need to post all that, a trip to Birmingham on a Saturday night - or a hindu temple on a Sunday morning will show you how far they're ahead of blacks.. Asians own most of the real estate in West Midlands.. They're at least 60 years ahead of blacks in everything in the UK. 1 Like |

shymmex: @naijababe Misrepresentation of facts and numbers again! You'll draw the same conclusions if you went to Uni in Leicester, Bradford and Manchester. Like I said before, proportional representations pls. According 2008 census, there are 1.1M blacks of which only 0.5M are Africans, in the same vein there are 2.4M Indians, isn't it only reasonable to see higher numbers for asians if comparing absolutes? I tire for una, abeg! |

coogar: You're silly because most of the posts are about which of the groups are more successful - and how does equate to critically analyzing the topic?? You don't analyze by comparing two different struggles - you analyze by looking at what's responsible for the crime wave. 1 Like |

Remember when you compared blacks with Asians, that whites consider Asians the "Model Minority. They have that stereotype, which helps them in many ways. 1 Like |

shymmex: success rate in imprisonment, you must mean. is there any nigerian male in prison who hasn't been to jail? shymmex: and if you're not a perpetual patient of the madras eye, then you should have seen my first contribution on this topic. reprobates like yourself just jump on a thread without perusing and then open the cess-pit you called a mouth and make bogus claims. there are more black criminals in the usa than in the uk. absolute or in proportions, the statistics are spine-chilling! i dunno how anyone would look at the life n times of young black males in america and opine they are more successful than their counterparts in other countries on the planet. |

naijababe: I'm talking in proportion with their population. Give me the statistics that says blacks are better off in the UK, because I sure don't see that - and I have lived in the UK all my life. |

How can you even compare blacks to Asians, especially when whites view them as a closer race of people - to themselves. We're beneath the Asians in everything. |

@ Nebeuwa, You asked some questions and received some answers but your responses have turned to be contradictory. Visiting a place and living in a place are two different things,you say you visited London,did you travel anywhere else? there is more to England than just London,and you may be surprised to hear this but not all successful Nigerians live in London.Many might work in the city but commute to other towns you know like some people work in New York but commute to Jersey or CT Having lived in both sides of the Atlantic I have seen first hand that race plays the biggest role in both countries but that hasn't stopped hard working and determined Africans from getting to where they want to be in both continents |

I have to love the Nigerian spirit. We all enjoy competing with ourselves in anything we do. But can we not have more group cohesion, so we can take on Asians and other groups? |

shymmex: How can you even compare blacks to Asians, especially when whites view them as a closer race of people - to themselves. We're beneath the Asians in everything.It is also in the mentality of blacks in general. We have a low self esteem because everything is always negative when it comes to black. We are taught through media, history, and religion that we are inferior and black is bad. Black is evil and terrible. Even the world black is usually negative like black death, black out, black hole, black market, etc. The only time it is good is for accountants. https://www.nairaland.com/793468/english-language-racist We need to learn our great history, change the image of god to an African man, and change our media to make us positive on it so we can uplift our self!! 1 Like |

@ Katz, so you've substituted your 2011 rich list tack for a different one? If black power list wasn't for sale I'd have posted it. I still don't understand how comparisons between Asians who are started migrating in the 60s with Africans whose major exodus was not until the late 80s and mid 90s is valid to you?! |

Ever since the beginign of hte year I only bought Nigerian clothes and I spend a lot of my money in my community. I buy African food, clothes, produts, I tour in Africa.

Most posters here are missing some real issues. The OP's post is based on recent gang related crimes in the news commited in London by Black youths of African(Nigerian descent). However i want to point everyone here to the bigger picture,do you know there are far more crimes being commited by older Nigerians on an individual basis? Did you also know that most crimes by Nigerians are by Nigerians that came to England as adults and should presumably know better? You can list a whole lots of reasons for above from (lack of opportunity,to ineligibility to fit into the working system,lack of working papers,previous crime records,lack of relevant skills,lack of funds to acquire said skills,personal incompetence,wrong mentality,lack of work opportunities..etc) the list is endless. Most people here are talking about black youths in gangs from Peckham to Brixton and Tottenham estates(where 99.9% of these thugs live),but what of the Tundes,Musas,Emekas? All in the mid-30s to early 40s involved in fraud(credit cards,postal,document acquisition),drugs (Marijuana,Heroine,Cocaine) Theft (Car jacking and export,sale of stolen goods). You can hardly name 10 Naija people you know in England that at least 1 isn't involved directly or indirectly with one form of runs in England. My point is that the so called "crime way" no be today.Also most of it is been commited by Nigerians that are educated and supposedly grew up in proper, stable, God fearing family units.This is a fact and if you live here you know it's true! |

prison is different from jail - so it's coherent. although, that wasn't what i intended. in a nutshell, practise what you preach! |
Re: The Crime Wave Impacting British Of Nigerian Descent by Nobody: 10:19pm On Apr 22, 2012 |
igbo2011: I concur 100%!! That's why most Nigerian kids in the UK have a messed up mentality. Most are raised to believe they're "Briton" - when they're just Britons on paper, but the system views them as immigrants. Till we start embracing our African-ness, the problem won't stop. It has been like that for generations. |

Times Rich list usually lists 1000 people. I just found the top 20 Asians, now find the top 20 Black folks and lets compare. You are one trying to wriggle out; so now it's Africans and it depends on when they started migrating to the UK? I never said Africans; I grouped all Black folks together. There are many reasons why Blacks are doing as well as Indians but you have to pay for that sermon. |

igbo2011: Nice! I support this 100%. Where I live, I support black owned businesses as well. We need to learn how to keep wealth within our community. Why is it that Koreans in the U.S. own every hair products stores in urban areas? It is stuff like that, which boggles my mind. |

You do know that Asians have no group cohesion right? There's as much ethnic hatred in China/India than in Nigeria. I doubt Nigeria's problem is lack of group cohension, infact Nigerians are closer to each other out of Nigeria than inside Nigeria. I think Nigeria's problem is fast success (fast money). |

naijababe: Records show that black men and women have lived in Britain in small numbers since at least the 12th century, but it was the empire that caused their numbers to swell exponentially in the 17th and 18th centuries. ^^^ Laugh at that! |
