I am ecstatically delighted and disproportionately flabbergasted with enormous gratification and appreciation for the dispensation of such a tendering and mesmerizing information in which the prestidigitation of the concurrent and subsequent matter is thoroughly demonstrated through the innuances alluding to literal and metaphorical context. It is highly imperative to note that, such is the significance of the aforementioned, distortion in any shape or form will result in catastrophic ramifications to which will be the outcome of epic proportions.

And every Nigerian youths are day-dreaming to move to America. Trust Nigerians, they will rather choose to be slaves and be oppressed in another man's land for the sake of material comfort than stay to build their own country.

Oga,
The US criminal justice system is more than a 100 times more advanced than the way you described it here.

Any US police officer that's a member of the Kkk will most likely be sacked. Because a tiny few have been does not mean all are.

Also, the high crime rate among African Americans is a major contributing factor. Many Nigerians complain about it.

Also, in America, the district attorney's office is a political office. The attorney tough on crime and lock up prisoners philosophy will resonate with the populace. This encourages them to send people to prison so as to win votes were they to vie for political office. Many of these attorneys are black.

This is probably the biggest reason why many are locked up in a America. It isn't simply racism.
U DONT HAVE SENSE,so its him being sacked thats d best judgement for killin someones brother,father and loved one,pray sars go wwaste ur mama or bro or father and they sack d guy, and ur also heavily ignorant nigerians complain about akata but for here guy almsot every nigerian way been de stay for oakland wit me that year visited jail at least twice,everly they wouldnt tell u at home taht they entered jail na,na only akata dem go de talk lke say dem ma no b almost d same thing.

If you know your history you will understand why the white man act the way he does. Read the account of the European that deciphered the Egyptian hieroglyphics. The white-man was a savage and he still is. Forget all the inventions and economic might. All that is driven by material power and domination at all cost.

In a letter written by Chanpollin the Younger, who deciphered hieroglyphics in 1822, to his brother, Champollion-Figeac, he state: "Right in the valley of Biban-el-Moluk, we admired ...... the astonishing freshness of the paintings and fine sculptures on several tombs. I had a copy of people presented on the bas-reliefs. At first I had thought, from copies .... printed in England, that these peoples of different races led by the god Horus holding his shepherd's staff, were indeed nations subject to the rule of the Pharaohs. A study of the legends informed me that this tableu has a more general meaning. It portrayed a third hour of the day ..... Thus we have before our eyes races of man known to the Egyptians and we learn at the same time the great geographical or ethnographical divisions established during that early epoch. Men led by Horus, the shepherd of the peoples, belong to four distinct families. The first, the one closest to the god, has a dark red colour, a well proportioned body, kind face, nose slightly aquiline, long braided hair, and is dressed in white. The legends designate this species as Rot-en-ne-Rome, the race of men par excellence, i.e., the Egyptians. There can be no uncertainty about the racial identity of the man who come next: he belongs to the Black race, designated under the general term Nahasi. The third present a very different aspect; his skin colour borders on yellow or tan; he has a strongly aquiline nose, thick black pointed beard, and wears a short garment of varied colors; these are called Namou. Finally, the last one is what we call flesh-colored, a white skin of the most delicate shade, a nose straight or slightly arched, blue eyes, blond or reddish beard, tall stature and very slender, clad in a hairy ox-skin, a veritable savage tattooed on various parts of his body; he is called Tamhou ..... The variations I observed fully convinced me that they had tried to represent here inhabitants of four corners of the earth, according to the Egyptian system, namely: 1. the inhabitants of Egypt ... 2. the inhabitants of Africa proper, Blacks. 3. Asians; finally (and I am ashamed to say so, since our race is the last and most savage in the series), Europeans who, in those remote epochs, frankly did not cut too fine a figure in the world. In this category, we must include a blonds and white-skinned people living not only in Europe but Asia as well, their starting point. This manner of viewing the tableau is all the more accurate because, on the other tombs, the same generic names reappear, always in the same order. We find Egyptians and Africans represented in the same way..... but the Namou (Asians) the Tanhou (Europeans) present significant and curious variants. Instead of Arab or the Jew, dressed simply and represented on one tomb, Asia's representatives on other tombs (those of Ramses II, etc) are three individuals, tanned complexion, aquiline nose, black eyes, and thick beard, but clad in rare splendor. In one, they are evidently Assyrians ... In the other, are Medes or early inhabitants of some parts of Persia... Thus, Asia was represented indiscriminately by any one of the peoples who inhabited it. The same is true of our good old ancestors, the Tamhou. Their attire is sometimes different; their heads are more or less hairy and adorned with various ornaments; their savage dress varies somewhat in form, but their white complexion, their eyes and beard all preserve the character of a race apart."

Nonsense, even the Church of England had a slave plantation and was collecting compensation from the British government that gave out money to former slave-holders in attempt to cover their economic loss. Even Arabs with their Islam owned slaves. In fact they started it before the Europeans. Religion won't save you.

You just fired him that's is all you guys could do ..

White been oppressing us since the time of kingsolomon..if our Yahoo boys see this one naw..they go double their hustle just get a payback ..so the victim can go and commit suicide .. I hate white, yeah you heard me right, for what they did to our ancestors, the way they are maltreating blacks as if we are not humans ..
If you are a white sympathizer trying to quote me all in the name of stupid visa.. I promise it's not gonna end well with you.


If that guy was a white man? Will they treat/arrest him in such a murderous manner?
In as much as I hate racism who exactly sold our brothers sisters uncles aunts cousins and children to the whites It's our fellow black brothers in our country Nigeria if you have a police case against a white man who do you think the police will support (White man) Even when south Africans were killing and looting the businesses of Nigerians what did our government do nothing even if was wrong Nigerians choose to retaliate by doing the same to their business here in Nigeria but what was the response of our police (lots of people were arrested and so many patrol vans were sent to protect the premises of ShopRite and the others .. Question becomes are the Nigeria police more efficient, equipped and inform than their counterparts in South-African.
The only solution to this problems is if our leaders will have a change of heart and develop our countries.

Of course, a lot of them are already moving to Africa, especially Ghana. It's because of Nigeria's negative image that you don't see a lot of them in Nigeria. Last year was "Year of Return" for Africa's diaspora and a lot of them came.

Then they are not practicing the religion right.
So just because Judas betrayed Jesus, all the disciples should be condemned?
Hell No!
Or do you throw away your clothes because you stained them with red oil or blood?
No, you wash them.
Or do parents disown their daughters because they born out of wedlock (baby mama nonsense)? Hell No.
Even Jews owned slaves, read Exodus.
Only in Judaism that you must be a Jew to be acceptable, Islam and Christianity cut across all clans, tribes, ethnicity, nations. We have Arab Christians, American Muslims, even Jewish Muslims, Jewish Christains, Fulani Christians among others.

I didn’t say there’s no racism in America, there is but the media is exploiting it, they’re not trying to change it, even in South Africa, there’s xenophobia against fellow black, Justin Trudeau is a racist, Virginia governor is a kkk, Biden is a close friend to George Wallace, the media will never speak about this people but trump who has funded historical black colleges, low black unemployment, taking black off welfare, under him he has made sure blacks are being pardoned and released from prison, media won’t say anything about this, remember when Biden said he won’t allow his kids to live in jungle with black kids? That’s what I want the media to report about, not pitting the 2 races against each other everytime
dnt kn0w why u go political with these issue. There isn't a c0nspiracy bro. Trump on his own is a man with c0ntroversy even prior to bec0ming Potus. Okay, why didn't same media owned by whites use racism to attack george bush? Wasn't he a republican? Trump has always been open abt his views. He is an old skul white supremacist and he doesn't shy fr0m that. He hates h0m0sexualism bt that doesn't stop him fr0m including them in his america. The media aren't using blacks to attack whites or Trump. Blacks d0n't even need the media for that cos it's all preceded Trump. Ur theory has flaws bro. Plus, alot of blacks have reas0ns to hate Trump bt that precedes his positi0n as potus. And trump isn't like ur average nigerian politician who would be bias in his policies cos it would back fire. Hence, even if he is pro white supremacist, he has to be inclusive. America isn't like naija, where u have a president who hates a certain regi0n being obvious with it in his policies and administrati0n. Try that in america, and u have a rival politician sue-ing the president and winning. The bias isn't that obvious, but blacks wey dy the system kn0w as e be. U all should stop with the trump and biden worship. These guys get their own for body.
