I'd have to agree with cap28 on this one. Lebanese people on average tend to look down on their Nigerian counterparts based on my experience and the experiences of others I know plus what I have read here in Nairaland.

In contrast the average Nigerian is all too welcoming and tolerant of Lebanese and other (white-skinned) foreign immigrants.

I would have pegged this down this imbalance of regard between the two groups to Nigerian Christlike culture of love and accomodation -but I remember that this is a country where inter-tribal suspicion and unrest is the order of the day.

Yeah.....inferiority and superiority complexes at work.

always on point sis.

by the way take a look at those two videos i posted where they refused to allow an ethiopian girl into their beach club because in lebanon black africans are regarded as inferior, the only time they are allowed to interact with their own people is where they are cooking and cleaning for them.

and yet, this wanna be white man is treated like a king in nigeria by self hating ignorant nigerians.

WHAT ABOUT HOW WE TREAT FORIGNERS IN OUR COUNTRY..OR HAVE WE SUDDENLY BECOME SAINTS?

I previously asked him if he was holding Mohammed Jammal responsible for racism, slavery, etc; he denied it. Now he is showing me videos of how Ethiopian women are being treated. What has that got to do with Mohammed Jamal

Then, he doesn't even know me, but he has decided that I "worship white people"!


Hahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahhaa!

The world is such a simple place for such people. Theyy don't have to think, just follow the rules

1) All Nigerians are 419ers. You don't have to know the person. Being Nigerian is enough.

2) All jews worship money.

3) All white people are evil racist. There's no need to get to know the person. No need to think. It's enough that he is white.

Let's see, what other bigotry lesson have I learnt on this thread? Ah yes

4) All Nigerians worship white people

5) Only igbo people work for money.

Dont you find it odd that lebanese people can come to nigeria and move around freely , open up businesses and make humongous amount of money like the Chagoury family who are multi millionaires and nobody stands in their way, and yet black migrant workers in their country are denied entry into a place as as ordinary as a beach club?

if you watched the video you would have heard one of the proprietors sayign that he only allows black african migrant workers entry if they are coming in with their employers and even then they are not allowed to use the facilities- dont you find that stunning? and yet this so called white nigerian was treated like every one else in nigeria, allowed to go to school along with other nigerians, socialise and make money in nigeria, when in his own country blacks are treated like garbage.

I honestly beleive that you lack any sense of self respect and dignity because no black person with a brain cell in their head would not be outraged after watching that video.

you desperately need help in reevaluating your self worth.

Blackteeth: For those of you saying it's not a big deal, it's definitely a big deal.
How could you imagine a foreigner from a country far better than yours going to those stinking orientation camps and taking part in this waste of human energy called NYSC?

. Ode. He was born in nigeria,studied up to sec sch level here and he's bn part of 9ja entertainment industry 4 a while.so what makes him foreign to d nigerian system. U better wake up 4rm a low life and stop seeing ppl wt white skins as being superior to u.

do you know of any lebanese man that was denied entry into a restaurant, club or hotel in nigera because he was not black?

these foreigners that you speak of in nigeria - how many of them are poor struggling migrant workers? arent the majority of them rich business people who come to nigeria because they understadn that the indigenous people are s.tupid and will allow foreigners to live cushy lives while they wallow in poverty.

Nigeria is the only country i know of where europeans, arabs and even indians resident in the country live better than the indigenous people - why is that?

do you think a black man could go to an arab country and open up a business and become a millionaire there? if you know of any please let me know.

no wonder this white nigerian will forever remain thankful to nigeria and nigerians.


but dispite all of those so issues that we have in nigeria this lebanese man STILL chose to remain in nigeria and inspite of them he and his family were able to run successful businesses in nigeria, so nigeria cant be that bad for certain kinds of people. do you think this guy and his family would remain in nigeria if they were not making money?

there is no denying the fact that nigeria has a lot of social and economic problems but inspite of these problems we still treat whites and other non blacks like kings, arabs have a a well known track record of treating black people like garbage but we continue to live in denial and close our eyes and ears to the truth. do you remember how many nigerian migrant workers were slaughtered like chickens in libya by arabs?

like i said to naptu - you need to re evaluate your self worth.

and stop posting meaningless junk written by wole soyinka who is a lap dog and mouth piece of western interests - they say he who pays the piper dicates the tune, wole soyinka is dependant on western financial support for his livelihoood as he lectures in american universities therefore he can not criticise his paymaster.

when u have won the nobel price for literature,the have the right to shut soyinka up,otherwise ur words are just the sound of a barking puppy

ehie: when u have won the nobel price for literature,the have the right to shut soyinka up,otherwise ur words are just the sound of a barking puppy

You should have realised by now that it is pointless to reply him. Hate has taken over his life and he can only see things through glasses of hatred (people are not people to him, they are simply objects of hate). No amount of sense that you offer him can help.

freshdude: chai..9ja youths don suffer. because one arab graduated and came to serve in Nigeria he is now important. u guyz need to emancipate urselves from mental slavery.

serious mental slavery.they see them selves as inferior to the white race.

ehie: when u have won the nobel price for literature,the have the right to shut soyinka up,otherwise ur words are just the sound of a barking puppy

be quiet there!

do you even understand the history of the nobel prize - what it represents and who many of its previous recipients have been?

like i said you are dealing with self hate issues - for you as long as the nobel prize was created by a white man that means it must be something of value - i feel sorry for you.

i think i prefer my ignorance if knowledge will make me deranged and bitter like ya,i know of soyinka,world knows him too,i knnow of jamal,naija knows him too,both have made history,who r u,what r u?what have u achieved

cdamsel: Y dem put am 4 frontbig deal
Mtchewwww

I believe the "whitee" guy is d parade commander...dat's y he's in front
Incidentally, I camped in same Keffi, Nasarawa earlier in Jul/Aug...nice camp though

Me: what'z up on dis thread, why is everybody acting like a fool?
Driver: dem talk sey onyinbo dey for NYSC.
Me: and so fûcking what?.....get me out of dis foolish thread as fast as possible.

ehie: i think i prefer my ignorance if knowledge will make me deranged and bitter like ya,i know of soyinka,world knows him too,i knnow of jamal,naija knows him too,both have made history,who r u,what r u?what have u achieved

i know of hitler and the world knows him too
i know of Pol Pot, Genghis Khan, Jack the Ripper and the world knows about them too - do you see how st.upid your statement above sounds, the fact that everyone in the world knows you does not mean that that person acheived great things, there are many people in the world today who are unknown but they have accomplished things that you will never acheive in a million life times.

Living in reality and understanding and accepting that reality does not equall bitterness it equals knowledge and as they say knowledge is power, strangely enough you actually sound deranged and bitter yourself and this must be down to the fact that you can't cope with reality, as soon as you are confronted with anything which might shatter the fantasy world that you live in you come unstuck - people like you usually end up in a bad way because life has a way of forcing you to face reality when you least expect it.

lol...nice one....itz an irony that Nigerians are here calling the 'whites' racist while we are the worst racists you can find anywhere in the world..we practise racism as tribalism...more 'smh'

Smh!

edreesabiodun: He's white. He's better than you.

Point of correction. He's not white. He's North African/Arabian, not caucasian. 2. He aint better than us plsss.

what are u i asked n u ramble,insults are a fight or flee mechanism,answer pls

have u written the Great Nigerian novel,have u defied the odds of being a black face in a highly complexed n divided white society,like lets say ukraine,gone a stage there where u were the only black face,overcome fear of skinheads and come out woth ur head high,when u have you have every right to vomit bile.

its a irony ,you mentioned hitler,propogator of ethnic cleansing and the champion of aryan superiority,he must be ur mentor.

naptu2: By the way, I don't see any reason why we should adopt american or european race classifications. For example, why should we classify one european as white and another european as "latino"? In Nigeria you are either black or white (cest fini).

(It also seems strange that some are suggesting that we should hate the guy simply because of his skin colour).

Latinos aren't in Europe.

This thread is simply si.lly!

An Arab boy? White?


I give up. Black man black sense.



I have said it before: Every Nigerian needs to visit/live in Europe/North America . . at least for months. To get properly educated instead of all these senseless degrees. And get tamed . . . yeah, tamed!

From this thread, you already know NLanders who have seen the world. They know the difference between Arabs and Whites


White Nigerian? . .SMH

maclatunji:

Technically speaking, he isn't Negroid.

To hell with "technically."

naptu2: A question popped into my mind while reading the comments on this thread.

Barrack Obama had a Kenyan father, yet he is President of the US. I wonder if someone like Mohammed Jammal, if he is competent, can ever become President of Nigeria. Will people be able to see beyond his skin colour

(Note: Lebanese Nigerians have been in Nigeria for over a hundred years).

The same way they see beyond skin colour in Middle East when they see competent blacks.

Naptu2, you disappointed me

ehie: grew up in the north and Lebanese men date Nigerian women,i cannot count the people i know who have intermarried,however they prefer slim tall girls,not fat things .
Please stop coming here and telling lies ,"what is generally speaking"what do you have to back it up?Do u have unbiased stats to back it up?

And, do their girls date black men?

You are more than funny!

Ola one:

Latinos aren't in Europe.

HahahahahahahaahhahaHaHha!

1) You know that I meant a person of European descent.

2) You may choose to hate a person because of what other people of the same ethnicity have done, but I choose to judge a person based on his own actions and character.

3) As classified by whom? Who decides whether a person is white or not? Read the article below carefully.

[size=14pt]Egyptian Immigrant Wants to be Reclassified as Black[/size]

By Aylin Zafar

Sept. 07, 2012

Anyone who’s ever filled out a census document or taken the SATs is familiar with that odd moment when you have to bubble in your racial classification. For many, the choices are confusing, limiting, and problematic. In the end, each person bubbles in what they best feel represents their identity. But when Mostafa Hefny immigrated to the United States from Egypt in 1978, he didn’t get a say in that decision.

“The government [interviewer] said, ‘You are now white,” Hefny told CBS Detroit.

Since the 1980s, CBS reports, Henfy has been fighting to have the U.S. government reclassify him as black, which is how he’s always seen himself. “My classification as a white man takes away my black pride, my black heritage and my strong black identity,” Henfy told the Detroit News.

Hefny, 61, filed a suit in 1997 against the U.S. government to be reclassified, but his case was dismissed. Hefny has also reached out to President Obama for help, writing him a letter on June 29, the Detroit News reports, as well as the Justice Department and the United Nations.

“I have been awarded, inadvertently, the negative effects of being black such as racial profiling, stereotypes and disenfranchisement due to my Negroid features. However, the legal demand of my racial classification of ‘white’ prevents me from receiving benefits established for black people, “ he told CBS. Hefny says he’s lost out on university teaching positions because they were positions designed for a minority and he did not qualify.

Currently, Directive 15 for the federal Office of Management and Budget Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity defines race by the following categories: Hispanic or Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black of African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific islander, White, Nonresident alien, Resident alien, and Race/ethnicity unknown.

“White” is defined as “a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa” — which is why the U.S. government classifies Hefny as such. However, the desgination for “Black or African American” applies to “a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.” According to CBS, Hefny says that he is descended from the Nubians, the ancient group of Egyptians from the northern part of Sudan and southern part of Egypt.

An article by Charles Whitaker in Ebony in 2002 entitled “Was Cleopatra Black?” explored this topic of racial classification in Egypt, and found that, among scholars, “discussions of Cleopatra’s race were so couched and so guarded that professors even fear engaging in the discussion publicly.”

“Cleopatra is one of those figures whose race often depends on the lens you use to view her,” Julia Perkins, associate directors of community programs for the Art Institute of Chicago told Ebony. Whitaker talked to various scholars who all found classifying Cleopatra to be “full of complexity, full of odd historical twists, and that there was no real, easy answer.” Her father’s mother may have been a concubine from Nubia, Whitaker writes, so that would make her African Egyptian.

Hefny also classifies himself as African Egyptian, and has co-founded The Association of Black Egyptian, Ethiopian, and Nubian Advocates to drum up support for his cause. He’s posted a petition online, and currently has collected 188 signatures.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
