a4cube:u are the only one that made a sensible comment since I started reading the comments here. The woman is carribean. She doesn't know where in Africa she is originally from, that's what dragged the whole conversation. An igbo woman will proudly tell you that she's igbo originally from Nigeria. And that's all. 1 Like |

zztop:The real slave is the one who sees meaning into every meaningless action or question because they have not overcome a psychological inferiority or slave complex. If I asked you where you come from you wouldn’t see meaning to it so why see meaning because a white personality asked you? Because you are already prejudiced, you still have our the slave mindset and see everything from that perspective. Innocent question we ask each other every day when we meet new people, so why is it different because the person asking you is white? 2 Likes |

Ckonnet:I understand people see racism in alot of things but that's just them. It could be from an experience in their past. In this case, I can't really conclude the intent of the woman that asked her the question. It could really be that she got confused by the name and was just curious. If I was in Ngozi's shoe, I would proudly tell her where I am from not only Nigeria or Caribbean but where in that particular country sef and tribe. Out of curiosity, I have also asked some people with Polish or Ukrainian name at work where they are originally from even though they are American. Some of their names are very similar. I haven't seen any one that took offence to the question. Some would even tell you that their grand parents moved to America in the 1930s or that there granddad still speaks Polish. I acknowledge that racism does exist, but I always make sure that I have sufficient proof before I conclude that it's racism. 1 Like |

Litmus: You are too stupid too understand. Racism exists, it will always exist. I didn’t see or notice not because it want there but because I wasn’t looking for it. I could easy have said every time a police man stopped me it was due to racism (I was stopped a lot because I had a flashy car). But I knew 1) I drove a flashy car, I was young and I often broke the traffic rules/ speed limit. It’s all about having the right mindset.. Britain is not your country and never will be!!! 1 Like |

mrdharkchild: If you see yourself as a slave then that is your prerogative. You are in Canada as an immigrant. Some of us Black people are UK born and raised citizens. No matter which way you slice it, being of the same skin colour does not the experiences of an immigrant and a born citizen in the UK similar If you have time, read up on Black British History...it is isn't an immigrant experience so don't compare the experience of someone born and raised in the country you have chosen to immigrate to with your own. Again stay in your lane. If you don't understand the nuances of the conversation between Ngozi and the Lady then keep mute. 1 Like |

zztop: Are you not a second class citizen the the Uk? Don’t kid yourself, because facilities are available to you in the Uk and you can do well for yourself does not mean you are a 1st class citizen. You will always be second. Class whether Britain or Eastern Europe. That’s different from racism. You people seem to get it twisted…you are blacks…your home is Africa, nowhere else will ever be home or will you truly integrate except in Africa. You must understand your purpose for being abroad and so long as a country gives you the opportunity to achieve your goals embrace it and don’t complain. Dont start looking for what isn’t there or thinking you are one of them because you will never be. You are not home full stop!!! 3 Likes 1 Share |

All these because a woman chose an Igbo name? Nobody is even talking about the "Fulani" part of her name. Africans seriously have issues...for those talking trash over there, the woman clearly knows what she is fighting for and those in Britain ( and her position) will relate...and less we forget the current British prime minister is Indian by ancestry but have been assimilated into the British society. |

Kobicove:Point out where I said we don't have Tribalism in Nigeria. I will be waiting. Ngozi or Not Ngozi, because I said the British monarchy as an institution was built on white supremacy (hence, a racist institution) doesn't mean that Tribalism does not exist in Nigeria. Two wrongs can exists at the same time. |

jimetagambo: Ngozi is from Hackney, East London. She isn't from Nigeria or an Igbo. This is the issue the racist lady could not understand. In 2022 she is still acting surprised or rather just being ridiculously obtuse about there being Black generations of Black people who were born and raised in the UK. The 2021 Census results have just being released and white British people are actually a minority in the London, even though the majority of the population was still born in the city. This basic stat should tell you that not all Londoners born in the city are white. 1 Like 1 Share |

casualobserver: My point is I am just as good as anyone, so I don't where the inferiority complex comes from . When Obasanjo visited Buckingham Palace in his agbada, Prince Phillip said to him it looks like you are ready for bed. Of course you can just laugh it off, but Prince Phillip knew what he was doing and making Obasanjo the butt of his joke. I expect Obasanjo to laugh it off, but maybe the lady in question, felt it wasn't an appropriate question to ask at that particular time. You are assuming it is an innocent question but I don't think so. |

Gemma11:Was there any reason why she was singled out? It appears that there were other black people there as well. There could be a deliberate racist intent or just the lady being curious? I can't conclude myself. I have asked white people the same question. I think the white lady goofed when she kept on pushing and asking multiple times a question the lady wasn't comfortable answering. Note: I am one of Nairaland's prolific defender of Meghan Markle, so I know racism does exists in the royal household of Windsor. |

zztop: Let me tell you my story. My first proper job in the Uk after my masters, I discovered I was senior both in salary (by a lot) and hierarchy to some white British citizens who had been in the job for over 10 years and had more experience than me. They left school with o levels and had been working their way up . But I also noticed there were no Jamaican men working senior or executive roles, they were all doing menial jobs, cleaner,security etc. Few blacks you saw were either African (usually Nigerian) or female Jamaicans. You know what it taught me? The Uk will give you opportunities. It is up to you to decide if you want to hold yourself back complaining of racism (jamaican men always do thats why even in University they were few) or take advantage of the opportunities the country offers. But I tell you if you are qualified and you work hard you will get opportunities and your color will not hold you back. Everything else is story. In our own country we are denied opportunities because of tribe so let’s stop this BS!!!! 3 Likes |

casualobserver: Firstly, I don't want to be one of them, I am me and very proud of my NigeriaN origin. What you don't realise is that some Nigerians are more British than British people themselves, it doesn't mean they don't eat amala and ewede, but they are smart enough to know the law and challenged it if they feel they are treated differently. You argument is that because I am black and living in their country, I have to do as they say. NEVER. With the Japa culture you are ready to be slaves even in Pakistan. I like the USA, I don't need visa to travel there, but I will never go there and stay illegal because I will never be a second class citizen! NEVER. 1 Like |
