Tedpgrass: Sounds rather selfish to me. But, at any rate arid land would be just fine as well, as long as some coastal stretch is included in the the area given. Regardless of whether it's arid land in the Kalahari or lush jungle terrain in the Congo, or a stretch of grassy savanna, we'll turn it into a mecca of economic prowess on the African continent. Just give it up and we'll build it up. |

kufre2010: This sound self centered to me. If they cannot associat with their brothers here in Africa then let them stay back there and continue facing the racial discrimination. We need employment let them come and build industries. We need their intelect to better the countries in Africa and not their seperate country. We need their experience they should not b selfish with it. This can all be obtained without them becoming part of your nations. It's called investment, and for such a nation to survive they'll have to invest heavily in the other African nations, and they will. |

Blyss:what now is the point of it all? You want to be 'independent' from the US, and yet still not be 'independent' from them.* The US is a country of great opportunies too. If you sole purpose of having to start up your own nation is strictly for economic benefits and not for obsessive reasons (of finally feeling like a first rate citizen in your country), wouldn't you just rather remain in your country and struggle like the other minorities? 4 Likes |

dabossman: If you won't be bringing all those gun-totting, jeans-sagging, gangster talking brothers and coochie mamas with plenty baba mama drama, then I can sell you a large parcel of land somewhere in Benue State. The governor won't even know you guys are there. Honest. There's absolutely no desire to obtain land from Nigeria. It's too crowded and, extremist. |

Amya: what now is the point of it all? You want to be 'independent' from the US, and yet still not be 'independent' from them.* No, rather have an independent nation. If the US gov. wants to invest in some aspect of the nations development then they are welcome just as MOST any other nation will be. Investment is investment. |

SMH@broke azz Blyss aka Kony trying TO MOVE ANYWHERE! On the real though...there is an organization established in Ghana that is offering Black Americans and etc the opportunity to settle on a solicited piece of land in Ghana. If you are serious about it Kony...google it. Why would Black Americans and etc move to Africa when many from Africa are leaving/moving out of Africa? Just wondering. 1 Like |

onitshaigbo: I see, AAs are tired of being 2nd class citizens in America, so they want to come to Africa and oppress others! Dream on! Some African students do not have the luxury of partying, sleeping in late, taking advantage of educational grants, going home on the weekends, and working legally to provide for self. So yeah..I can see how they can outshine the ones that are lack lusters. (if it is not a degree in Advanced chemistry, biology, and engineering, it is not impressive) Firstly...Blyss aka Kony do not speak for all colored Americans nor colored Carribers. Trust and believe Africa for MANY IS THE LAST CONTINENT chosen for possible relocation. Secondly...If Africa were to implement some type of social programs....just maybe the culture section wouldn't have threads about broke African men scamming clueless rich White/etc women to feed their dying babies/family members. Thirdly...It is unfortunate that Africa does not have an Affirmative Action plan against foreigners by the look of things...Africa is the ONLY continent that are raped from every angles and directions AND STILL DOESN'T HAVE SHIT TO SHOW. Rich men/women flying all into Africa certainly not to admire the rich vegetation and lush minerals but to see how many hoes can be bought with $10 USD. Oops...hey sis! 1 Like |

MsDarkSkin: @Bolded I can make the same generalized statement too about black and white americans whom I had much respect for before moving to the states but then after moving to the USA they treated me so badly/wickedly all because I am an African. It is an experience I will never forget. Today, I am equally completely turned off by america and boy am I glad that I am out of there. Never again will I have to put up with the bigotry and constant hate of the average american - black or white - ever again and that is a blessing. I expect that since you have confessed to being turned off as far as Africa is concerned, you will do the right thing and gracefully leave this NIGERIAN/AFRICAN forum as well or don't you think? After all, it clearly states that the forum is for NIGERIANS and FRIENDS of NIGERIANS just in case you forgot. 2 Likes |

@Blyss AKA Benin AKA whatever other moniker you go by now Good luck in your quest for land in Africa. You stand a better chance getting land from the Atlantic ocean and filling it up with sand and starting your newly found virgin country from there than getting land in Africa where you don't want the natives anywhere close. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Red-Light: Wow..i was very emotional myself when i wrote that babes. It hurts ppl want to pretend like our ancestors willingly left africa. As if we signed up to be enslaved. It hurts and i am glad u felt me. But honestly some of the seeds of the africans who sold their own kind out are stil alive & kickng. Pgan 9ja is a classic example of such an apple which hasnt fallen far from the tree. Trust me. And i do love africans but i dont see myself living there because ppl like him would search for a reason to oppress me. I not going to pretend it wont happen. Im sorry. |

pretty_boi: You all must be mad. You want to come to Africa & have a "special land" for yourself where you run your own government & don't allow Native Africans in? You guys had better carried your lands with you from wherever you're coming from & attach it to the African map cos right now,there's no free space on the African map for good for nothing African American goats who think they are better than native Africans & want their own "special" countries & government. If you guys want to come back to Africa to mix into the African population,that's good but if you guys want a special country because your slave-asses think you're better than native Africans,then you guys had better stay wherever you are at & worship your slave-masters forever. You call us slaves and then ask why cant we all get along. Sir from the bottom of my heart....Go fck yourself. Africans created the problems...we carried them with us to the new world as u have clearly pointed out. U talk about black love but insult us because of our past lmao....foh Like i said blyss if u are considering making the move good luck to u babes.... 2 Likes |

Blyss: @Op, Thank you for thoroughly responding to my concerns. My answer to the topic, after considering everything you have said is A BIG NOOOOOOOOOO! it is not a good idea for you to come back with these conditions becouse : 1. Your idea sound like horror movie of doomsday survivors city in America, its a nightmmare, a horrible dream if this is how AA dream when looking to comeback to Africa. 2. It is emberassing and outright shocking to be honest and also sound cult like. 3. If you would really take time and read about the "Apartheid system" strategy you will find that they also believed living seperately from the natives and strict rules of accessing SA was for the best and for the preservation of the different cultures. They also did not really belong in europe no in africa so they were building a new nation. 4. SA apartheid regime created homelands for the natives and invited labour that they can use at their will and kick out at will. Becouse at the end of the day you will not able to build anything without the labour supply of the natives. Right there issues of power and class beggin. 5. I work with a lot of respected and successfull AA guys in a project where their interest is to help the black community in SA. The two guys and a lady I work with have stayed and continue to vist SA and love the country as it is but would like to insure a speedy way to upgrade the life of the disadvantaged. These are an ex- executive of global oil company, a vice president of one of the top banks in US and an accomplished lawyer in international affairs. Just to start a convesation point I will be copying your proposal and sending to them to hear what they think of your proposal. Becouse i doubt very much that they and their counterparts have any dream of such a country. 6. My advice to your group will be to buy such a land in the US there should be still a lot of undiscovered oil wells and other riches in the US soil. You really do not want to move from familiar grounds to a strange world with strange people you are not willing to engage or get to know. A waste of your time really. 7. You do not want to be cought up in Africa's problems and you will briing unneccessary war in the continant with your planned super army and security. You will try to play the US on our azz and we will retaliate with guerilla tactics that defeated the apartheid system and the US interference in Somalia. 8. Lastly, Africa's dream or vision is to have an Africa without borders and you will come right into the heart of Africa and start implementing complicated American visa system? NOT A GOOD IDEA, NOT AT ALL!!! 4 Likes |

Blyss: I personally know of many well off Black-Americans and Afro-Caribbeans who have stated that they wouldn't mind moving their families and business operations to Africa and this includes me as well, but one major hang up is a strong lack of acceptance to live under African rule. Now you can call this bigoted or hateful in some other fashion, but in all reality the majority of the reasoning expressed in regard to the issue, were not so much bigoted as apposed to being simply being of a mind set of wanting to fully control the surroundings of their operations. You've spent the past 400 years living under white supremacist rule where you were stripped of your humanity and reduced to chattel or property but you have a problem living under black african rule - the mind boggles. It seems you guys have a very short memory and have forgotten about what happened to your people in Liberia, for those who are unaware of the facts here is a brief summary: the US govt facilitated the voluntary repartriation of african americans to build a black american settler state in liberia the settlers (black americans) as a result of hundreds of years of brainwashing saw themselves as superior to the indigenous and seperated themselves from the indigenous african people the US govt capitalised on this and used divide and rule to exploit the natural resources of liberia the black american freed slaves collaborated with their former slave masters and exploited and oppressed the indigenous liberian people by making them work on rubber plantations on behalf of an american multinational corporation known as Firestone Firestone appropriated the wealth of Liberia with the help of their black american lackeys who helped them to oppress and exploit the indigenous liberian people. AFRICAN PEOPLE PLEASE BE ON GUARD - MANY BLACK AMERICANS ARE BRAINWASHED LACKEYS WHO ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AGENTS AND LACKEYS OF THEIR FORMER SLAVE MASTERS, THERE IS NO WAY ANY SELF RESPECTING BLACK AFRICAN COUNTRY WILL ALLOW A GROUP OF SELF HATING BLACK AMERICANS TO COME ON TO THE AFRICAN CONTINENT AND REPEAT WHAT THEY DID IN LIBERIA IN COLLABORATION WITH THEIR FORMER SLAVE MASTERS IN ANOTHER AFRICAN COUNTRY, IMAGINE THE AUDACITY OF THIS HOPELESS BLYSS HAVING THE NERVE TO SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD SELL OUR SACRED LAND TO THESE SELF HATING IMPOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE ALREADY AT WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES AFRICOM - WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE AGENTS OF NEO COLONIALISM TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE. Blys or whatever you call yourself - we africans are happy to welcome with open arms afrocentric african americans who wish to work with us in unison to defeat the agenda of global white supremacy but self hating lackeys and agents of US and EU colonialism will never be given the time of day, so put that in your pipe and suck it up! Nigerians are not s.tupid people and we will smoke out all fakes, users, puppets and front men of US/EU colonialism. 5 Likes |

Blysss let me let you in on a little secret - the US govt will never back your plan - you know why? because the white supremacists regard anyone of african descent as inferior. the agenda of the white supremacists who run your country is to perpetuate the world wide domination of their race to the exclusion of people of african descent - SO PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT. the idea that the US govt will allow black americans to buy up land in an area (DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO) with mineral deposits valued at over $24 trillion which is more than the combined wealth of the UNITED STATES AND EU is at best the joke of the century. have you heard of US AFRICOM? N0? THEY ARE US TROOPS THAT ARE CURRENLTY OCCUPYING ALL RESOURCE RICH COUNTRIES OF AFRICA - AND IN YOUR DUMB MIND YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THE US GOVT WILL ALLOW POWERLESSS SELF HATING WANNA BE WHITE PEOPLE TO BUY UP THIS LAND WORTH 24 TRILLION DOLLARS - YOU MUST BE ON FCKING CRACK COCAINE MATE TO EVEN THINK THAT THIS CAN EVEN HAPPEN THE ONLY WAY BLACK AMERICANS CAN EVEN DREAM OF BUYING UP LAND IN THIS REGION IS IF THEY HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS WHICH WILL GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO COME TO THE TABLE TO NEGOTIATE4 WITH THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS!!! 4 Likes |
Re: Your Thoughts On African Americans Moving Back To Africa. by cap28: 12:42pm On Feb 21, 2013 |
WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE MUST COME TOGETHER AS ONE TO DEFEAT THE WHITE PERIL OF WORLD WIDE WHITE SUPREMACY - black americans who think that white america gives a sh.it about them are living in a dream world. THE united states govt gives those fake jews of zionist israel $1.5 billion a year - that is why they are so powerful. do you seriously think the US govt would spend that kind of money on black american settlers in africa? listen - they dont even want you to leave america because they make more money from you being in america living as second class citizens in their white supremacist nightmare. look at the prison system in america - which people are over represented wihtin the prison system? who gets the contracts to provide uniforms, food, medicines etc - if i am making money from keeping you in bondage why would i want to allow you to escape those chains? why are so many able bodies black american men trapped in the US prison system serving time for minor offences? when you work it out you will know that it is not in the intrest of the US govt for you to relocate to Africa. 3 Likes |
