@Zulu

The hatred is over the top !  I am proud to be a Nigerian man. God Bless Nigeria.

What baffles me the most, and I believe my very intelligent nigerian sistas have
pointed this out, is that, if you hate/dislike us so much, why are you in our midst?

This place is Nairaland; you knew that from the get go, yet you took the time to
create a user name, password---you know set up an account.

Our intelligent sistas of this thread have said it all - jess and trini are just plain stupid. If
you don't like us, then what on God's earth are you doing here ?  Baffling.

u say u've got friends that have been hurt by Nigerians. it shows how useless u lot where. Grin Grin Grin Grin (it is not personal)
Every girl wants to date a Nigerian dude. they are not meant for everyone. (i am not being racist, so don't get me wrong).

And if you want to know i can date anyone. Americans, British etc. i don't have to generalize everyone because of past experience.

@tri,
Good for u that your BF is Ghanaian. so what shld i do. go and get myself a Ghanaian(Hiss)

You should have guessed by now that he or she does not hate Nigerians. He or she may dislike some of the things Nigerians do but that is not the same as hate.

It is just like the Nigerians that are in nairaland disliking A.A but yet they do anything to come to America. Not all of them but good many of them.

This is a free and open forum to all as well as this a free world for everyone to travel any where that they like. Although with the traveling Jist for foreigners, there are some things one has to do in order to travel abroad.

Any way, If someone keeps saying things that clearly show they have a disliking, you waist your time asking them why do they continue to come. Just let the person say what he or she has to say and you don't have to respond. Unlike an infectious mole on ones face, if you ignore someone they will eventually go away. The only thing this individual is doing is typing some words across a screen saying things you disagree with, that itself should be easy to ignore.

You can't blame him or her for keeping a mess going when you give him all the fuel he or she needs. Especially when you claim to be the intelligent one.

@sista

You need to go back and read what trini_girl has written. If that isn't hatred, I don't know what else is.

Many others may dislike things about Nigerians, but in trini's case, it is out right hatred.  The comments
wriitten are so bad that twinkle has asked whether jess is racist.

You seem to be really offended because I stated the truth. Sorry, but it needed to be said. If trini hates us (as
she has clearly stated), then she needs to take her self else where and leave us alone.

Go back how far?

I went back 2 pages and I saw nothing that indicated a racist on Trini's behalf.

She did state that some Nigerians do bad things and she warned people to watch out for them. That is not being racist however she could be considered as a generalist.

What she said is no different from the horrible things Nigerians say about A.A in this forum. Nigerians in this forum make general statements but I see them as being ignorant but certainly not racist.

In my experience, I have come across many Nigerian scam artist, I mean many of them. I at one time did not know that they existed. However on the other hand I have run into many old fashioned Nigerians who are just as sweet, good natured and sincere.

I think your real problem is this woman has the gull to come into a Nigerian forum and say things about Nigerians. Maybe you don't like that you have no control over what she or anyone who is not Nigerian has to say about Nigerians.

@sista

Twinkle asked whether jess was racist, address this to her.  What I said was that trini hated us. If
you read what trini has written, you will see this first hand.

I don't have a problem with anyone taking issues with Nigerians - we are not perfect just as no one
else is.  Nigerians on this thread have said negative things about others just as others have about
Nigerians, but it has not reached the level of out right hatred as is the case with trini.

Trini is not spreading her dislike or opinion, she is spreading hatred and that is what I detest. I continue
to say if she hates us that much, she should get out of our midst.

@sista
u don't tell people to stay away from Nigerian men cause they are bad, that statement alone screams hatred,

how can u generalize all nigerian men to be bad and make this statement on a nigerian forum.

all these so called "battered women" had to do was inform women of these acts not the basing it on the fact that the person is a Nigerian and by advising women to be careful when chosing a partner rather than claim that all Nigerian men are  ______.


Please they need to keep their experiences to themselves or share with non nigerians, i love my Nigerian men and i plan on marrying one some day. so who did they come here to advice. please like i said earlier they need to take that crap to another forum "dollarland.com"  or something

Hey Blue, long time no see, How are you?

I agree with you Blue, she is generalizing all Nigerian men, that in itself though is not racist. Do you know what racist people have done to an entire group of people they hate or do not like for whatever reason?

What she said is based on ignorance fueled by hurt. Didn't you see what she said about the experiences she has had with Nigerian men, what her firends experiences were. She is just hurt for her friends and a little disappointed. Someday she will see that all Nigerian men are not terrible but until then she will continue to be hurt and to falsely warn people but that in itself does make her a racist.

If you read the thread from the beginning a woman was talking about her relationship with a Nigerian man, the woman is not Nigerian. Trini was responding to someone else about how Nigerian men treat women. She was warning the woman she was talking to, not trying to warn Nigerian women.

take a deep breath, breathe out slowly and settle down. Tempers seem to flair when the truth is unearthed about the "african" but who cares, get over it!!!!! Learn from your ignorances so the spread of aids does not continue. Not only are the africans ignorant and in denial about the aids epidemic but also they refuse to have their children immunized against  polio and other childhood diseases, thus contracting the virus and putting the american children at risk when  they come to this country to also contract it. Come on now vostel, really, who's the oafish one? I can answer that one for you. I want you to take a little test for me. Point your figure at the message and then see how many figures point back at you. See, now you have your answer.

P.s~~~ i, as an educator and psychotherapist am in no way trying to belittle anyones culture for we are all a part of this eco system and must  learn from eachother. Each culture, society or ethnic group compliments the other wheather we want to admit it or not. I myself have no ill will for the african men nor women. But the ignorance is intolerable!!!!

Well time for work,and not a security job either!!!!lol

jessilina

There was this quote by some philosopher i saw in the papers yesterday

" There are only two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity and i am not sure of the former"

Reading all the hateful things you're saying about africans especially Nigerians and to think you're an american and supposedly enlightened I am amazed at the utter rubbish you're subsitituting for wisdom, it's really appalling that people like you still stalk the earth claiming education. It's opinions like this that made Hitler eliminate millions of Jews.

Now i know what that guy meant by human stupidity is infinite

not sure any of these comments will help in changing jessina's mind on nigerians, so i'm not even going to try.

only comment - hatred, anger, racism, elitism and all the other negative passions just demean the human spirit. love, happiness, selflessness, humility uplift the human spirit.

your choices in life mold you as a person - an optimist, pessimist or realist.

ps  - TeshaS, an AA sista, had asked for advise from nairalanders on her situation with her nigerian husband. see if you can stay positive when replying her.

@ chinani


Here is the definition of a  racist:


Entry Word: racist
Function: noun
Text: a person who believes that one race should control all others <after the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, racists still used violence and intimidation to prevent African-Americans from enjoying their new constitutional rights> -- see SUPREMACIST


Just in case you want to know what a supremacist is:


Entry Word: supremacist
Function: noun
Text: a person who believes that one race should control all others <white supremacists were arrested for painting racial slurs on a church>
Synonyms racialist, racist
Related Words segregationist; bigot



So you see, Trini is not participating in any of these things, she is just running her mouth out of dissapointment and hurt that some Nigerian men have caused.

A racist has power, the power to bring people down because he feels his people are superior. So far history has shown that only white people have participated in racist acts. If it was not for them the word Racist would not exist.


Quote
What is your definition of a racist statement?

What is your definion of a hateful statement?
 
 

A racist statement would suggest that she feels her people should be superior to your people and rule over you.


A hateful statement to me is when someone tells you straight up they hate you or show you they hate you and even then they could be saying they hate you on impulse. How many times has someone said I hate you but wanted to take it back when they realized how strong the word hate is. The only way you would know they were not being impulsive is to judge by their acts, how they show that they hate you. If I hate something, or come close to hating, I stay away from that individual. It takes a lot for me to hate anyone so I can not imagince hating.

No one has directed me to the hateful or so called racist statements Trini has said, please show me?

@ DAFMAN~~~~~~ IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THAT QUOTE WHY USE IT? FYI- IT WAS USED BY ALBERT EINSTEIN AND YES HE WAS A PHILOSOPHER BUT WAS MOSTLY KNOW FOR PHYSICS. ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU IS READ, READ, READ,  I PROMOTE EDUCATION BUT IT'S UP TO THE READER TO WANT TO LEARN FROM ME.

@ TESHAS~~~~` LEAVE THE GUY!!!! IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF OVERCOME WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY. TRUST ME, I KNOW. I AM A PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND I HAVE MANY PATIENTS WHOM I COUNSEL BECAUSE THERE NIGERIAN HUSBANDS ARE ABUSING THEM.  MENTAL ABUSE IS WORSE THAN PHYSICAL VITUPERATION!!!!!

@EVERYONE~~~~~~ONLY WHITES CAN BE RACIST, ALL OTHERS PREJUDICE. WHY? BECAUSE WHITES HAVE THIS CLOUDED VIEW THAT THEY ARE THE SUPERIOR ONE!!! WE ALL HAVE CERTAIN PREJUDICES ABOUT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. WHY? BECAUSE IT'S COMMON HUMAN BEHAVIOR

Twinkledew,

You're obviously a caucasian. Not all women want to date Nigerian, what nonsense, maybe some sex starved white women who think all black men are well hung and good in bed. 

We see it all the time here.  Docile white chicks hanging on to these worthless black men that a real sister would not even give the time of day because they are not worth it.

Easy white girls, black men who love weak women will always go for a someone like you,   you will be happpy.
