Makamatic:

XtraFortunes:
The tribalism in Nigeria is worse than the racism in America.

Like somebody said sometime ago it is better to live in an advanced country with racist than to live in an under developed country like Nigeria with tribalism

Even me I have become tribalistic as I can not be friends with a Fulani man as I see all of them as killer herdsmen now. Will you blame me? After seeing Fulani herdsmen kill, kidnap and rape people with non of them brought to justice by government.

What a foolish level of reasoning and justification of reasoning.

It's common here in SA...
Our brothers are the reason.
Infact when these lots have nothing on u...they'd simply just tag u a drug dealer..
Another systemic discrimination is the non renewal of permits... and as it is currently Zimbabweans are also feeling the heat.

akube34:
been here four years. Never experienced such

you mean Jos. I never experience such too

The worst discrimination i had was in Malaysia where landlord asked me get a foreigner to serve as guarantor for me even though i was on work visa.

Another one was some top banks in Malaysia refused to open a salary account for me telling me that they blacklisted Nigerians.

I sha left the country

Firstcitizen:
Only time I ever experienced something of that nature was from a fellow Nigerian who thinks he now 'Oyinbo'

Dude got angry at work and started yelling "Fucking Black Nigger" at me.

Mad oooo. What was your response and what was the body language of others around

sylve11:


The kind of words i want to hear.

If someone never experience racism in the west it could be for any of the following reasons :
1 - The person is extremely lucky
2- The person had never amount to anything
3 - the person has no notion of subtle racism or everyday racism.

Experienced so much tribalism in Naija (even within my state of origin where bursary was for few local government areas) that over here its difficult to differentiate if the person is being racist or just human nature.

I guess this topic is about Racism abroad and not Tribalism in Nigeria.
We all don't live in Nigeria

You can continue guessing my friend!

CandidAdmin:
Nigerian based abroad, please share your experience with racist or when you are being discriminated because of your color.



Note: This is not an Anti Japa thread.

There is worst here in Nigeria.

I love the racism and discrimination

With the tribalism my eyes have seen here in Naija and on Nairaland, Racism dey learn.

Tribalism is far worse than racism

ednut1:

that is not true tribalism isn't worst than racism

The moment you live the shores of Africa to a non black world, that is when will know that you are a blackman or blackwoman

Racism is worst.

Why are we black people judge as a race unlike white people who are judge individually.

How many blacks can get good jobs in UAE?

How many blacks can attend an indian owned schools in UAE?

Many blacks are use as slaves, house help and security men even if they are qualified for better position in the UAE, they are also paid very low compared to other races

You are easily judge and assume you have nothing to offer because of your skin colour

A black woman is already seen as a prostitute for been with a white or non black, she also has no access to places where white women have access to..go check Dubai

Even Orpah the black billionaire was discriminated in an European bag brand because of the colour of her skin

There was a time black people were kept in zoos

There was a time where you will be killed because you are black

Black people do not have access to loans unlike white people and are given high interest rate.

There was a time white people do not allow black people in universities

Till today, if lot of blacks pack to a white area, white flight will happen

Till today whites do not integrates with blacks, that is why in many white countries, blacks lives separately from whites.
In Brazil that has significant black population, black people are rarely given opportunity or even showed on tv

In tribalism, you still have lot of opportunities.

Do you know the trauma many blacks are facing living in spaces for other races

if something is missing, it is assume you are the one, some non black even look at blacks as having a dirty skin

explaining racism to non black people always end up with you are over reacting and it is downplayed

Do you know why many blacks are always aggressive in Europe and America, Asia and south America, it is because of racism.

just dont believe anybody who tells racism is not a life threating ordeal.
Dont take lightly cause your career, and very life depend on it
YouTube search for experience of black Americans and west Indians with racism, dont listen to the experience of ass licking sell-out materialistic Nigerians. Cause if you listen to Nigerians you will not get a sense of how dangerous racism is to every aspect of your life.

And usually the European cults and individuals that are hardcore racists are usually also witches and satanic sects.
Examples the Nazis of old and thier moderns day Neo Nazi cults are deeply into witchcraft and Satanism.

So that anytime you experience racism, beware not to let them make you angry, they act calm whilst making you angry cause they are witches who want to steal your energy. Always maintain a good steady deep breath when around them , or going to be around them.

Dont listen to the opinion of Nigerians who will sell thier mother for visa about racism , internet search the experience of black Americans and west Indians

Shame on you fking sell-out Nigerians forever ever, where ever you see fellow Nigerians their behaviour towards fellow African is often worst than even the racist , i disown you people. Overtly materialistic shit people , listening to opinion of Nigerian about racism can put your life in danger, cause they love to lick oyinbo ass. This is why black Americans and west Indians hate Nigerians, and Nigerians are gona get into serious trouble before they learn what side the ground is on.

As a Chinese person, I should tell everyone that I've witnessed a lot of injustice and discrimination. In the past century, Chinese people have experienced such things, and now, some Chinese individuals are applying this discrimination to other third-world countries.

Yes, "third world." At the beginning of China's founding, the people of the vast Asian, African, and Latin American regions helped China reclaim its rightful seat in the United Nations. At that time, almost every Chinese person was filled with enthusiasm for internationalism.

However, today, this communism and internationalism, which used to breathe alongside the world, are gradually fading among the general populace. If one's success comes at the cost of sacrificing ideals, then it's better to be unsuccessful.

Well, I'm not here to complain about my own country. I just want to make a point to all my friends. There has always been one person discriminating against another, never one group discriminating against another group. Some people like you, some dislike you, some respect you, and some discriminate against you... It has always been a matter of one person versus another.

It's just that there are so many people in this world that we sometimes mistake them for another group full of malice.

In any case, I hope you don't lose heart. The light is ahead, so walk your path confidently, and let others say what they want.

Long time ago when I first visited the UK got a job outside London and took a bus, but since I was new asked the oyinbo bus driver where to get off and the guy just ignored me totally and didn't answer. Sat down and got off at the next stop anyway, when he drove by I gave him the middle finger this fool came down and wanted to fight me lol, I was like wtf. He got back into his bus and drove off after cursing me.

Next one same outside London entered the bus going to this same yeye security job again, sat down next to an oyinbo man he got off the seat started mumbling and sat down somewhere else, I was like I dey smell. One oyinbo woman saw what happened shook her head told me to ignore him.

Next went to visit my cousin in Liverpool studying at the university there, some oyinbo students ladies were also staying in the house so we decided to hop in a taxi to go clubbing, you won't believe we got to the club this oyinbo girls refuse to follow us inside, I was like wtf the same people we where chilling with inside the taxi lol. Nobody told me before I japa back to Nigeria never went back to that rubbish country again.

Why I smh when I hear about people selling their properties to go live in the UK of all places, the racism is probably 10x worse now compared to then with all the millions of immigrants that have flooded that place that in most major UK cities now indigenous white Britons are now the minority.

Gerrard59:
A significant number of Japanese will not sit beside a foreigner who is non-East Asian except the train is full. When I went for an interview for my first part-time job, I used a narrow path which led to the train station, so I reduced time. More like short-cut in Nigerian parlance. At the point of entering it, one Japanese woman also entered. Few seconds later, she dey begin dey waka very fast while looking back. At one point, I wanted to say in Japanese that I am harmless, but my instincts kicked in, "don't say anything". Few seconds after that, she begin dey run o. Meanwhile, wetin dey my mind na how to arrive at the train station on time, so I reach the interview venue.

Other than that, nothing else. The Emperor hasn't threatened to push me into the Sea of Japan.

A white lady was holding her purse hard when I entered the elevator
A white man took a different route or left the bathroom intentionally when I entered. Then he reentered as soon as I left.
A coworker of mine joked all Nigerians are scammed
I was asked for my ID while the white people were allowed to enter the store without their ID check

I was followed by security in a store like I stole something. If I did not show receipt , I wonder what would have happened
To me, I see no different between tribalism and racism
My friend of other nationality cannot find a job despite showing great qualifications while the white guy who barely passed got the job

akube34:

please, where specifically sir?

Nigeria made me tough, seriously, i dont even notice or bother at all but i do appreciate kindness even little kindness and surely, kind to others, by being thoughtful. If you can survive tribalism in Nigeria and religious extremism, then surely, the racism in other countries are like Childs play

In my experience, even the racist may change and begin to like me.

I dont hold their racism in my mind, because i have to think wisely.

I have the ability to greet people who don't answer and I seem to ignore it, it is not relevant for my living, they did not answer, and its not the end of the world, but I don't hold it against them, there is no time for drama, one should grow wisely.

Icon4s:


I have never experienced racial discrimination. Just do the right things and you will be fine.

I have lived in Canada, US and the UK.

With respect to the bolded, you mean that everyone who had experience racism was because of something wrong they have done.
Here we go with blaming the victim

Note: This is not an Anti Japa thread.

Here we go again. We need to talk about the discrimination and tribalism in Nigeria, not the issues in another man’s country.

Here in Nigeria, an Hausa man will only hire people from his tribe. The same thing happens to the Yorubas and the Ibos. They give preferential treatment to their own people.

Here in my country, a Muslim man will discriminate against a Christian person. Same issue with Christians.

At the state level, most states will only give jobs to their indigenes.

We hide our own issues, but we want to talk about foreign lands.

It's okay when any of these issues happen to us in Nigeria, but while living abroad, we call them discrimination and racism, and these are the same issues we have been living with here in Nigeria since we were born.

Eagba:

Mad oooo. What was your response and what was the body language of others around

Very good question. All the white/black people there were astonished. Some had their mouths open and the others were giving him that 'wtf' look.

I simply asked him if he was on meds that he skipped that day that made him think he has a green colour. He never turned up for work again after that. I still wonder what happened to him. That was about 15 years ago.

Where is here? Racism comes in different forms, styles and tricks. Some of which, you may be oblivious of.
