BadBoy25:Which of those villages were raided? Point to the villages which did that and sold their people to white slave masters. The fact that you are insinuating that Africans sold Africans to slave traders then you must ascertain those who did and to who and the villages which were affected and profited from it, as it is a known fact. Are you saying tenth to the hundredth million people were sold by their black raiders? Jeez! Why would whites pay dearly for the people they can subject to submission with their guns? That would probably be running in hundred of millions dollars and that can buy many states in the USA as at then. The Dutch lied! You mentioned Arabs. They were more or less not Africans. They raided villages just like the white slave masters. I have watched the movie 'root' and I have read stories of AA who witnessed raiding by white people not blacks. The only thing I would accept from you is that the white possibly lure some blacks into helping with capturing other blacks along side with them. |

BadBoy25:Don't expect Nigerians to innovate and develop very soon because I am not seeing that happening yet. The people lackadaisical approach to development and organizing themselves is very bad. The worst thing is that nobody accepts their error and want to make change due to their arrogant nature. |

BadBoy25: yes I am a self hating negro,uncle tom , racist ,sell out .etc.Don't think they would listen to you and do something about the problems. All they want to hear is that white people are the causes of their problems while running down to white man's developed nations. What an irony! Bwahaha... 1 Like |

all4naija: If I mention it to you, You will be afraid of the people when you see any of them. I have a very close friend from one of the area who confided in me. She told me her grand father was given a title because of the number of black head he added to His. If you don't beleive this, that means you have not heard of Idi Amin. Just Like I said, It was a long time ago. |

all4naija: Remember I said I read the history of my state. I wrote an assignment on the history of my community. If Things Fall apart was a made up story, it means we are more creative than we Imagin. How about Ritual Killings. I know it is not a general thing and that is why you may not know. The misconception is that the foreigners hears of an event about a minority in africa and then present it as a general case of the situation of africa. It always result to bias in judgement. |

BadBoy25: you have nothing to say ,you just want to say something . did I ever say you should not be proud of africa? did I ever ask you to care about what I think? I won't grant you an interview or autograph . I don't get along with people who blame others for their problems .Who are you and who give a hoe about what you think. By the way, who is talking about blaming someone else of our woes? We have our challenges, God willing, we will overcome. I don't need a lost son to remind of all of that. Like i said, if aint proud of who you are and ready to assist, then piss off. |

Are you going to use isolated case to define everybody? Those are the ignorant ones and they are found everywhere around the world. The fact that they ask questions demanding you to provide answers accordingly when you are from Nigeria to better help them with their perception makes it very understandable. You have done well and it is nothing to be angry about as some arrogant Nigerians back home would do. I hope you are enjoying your stay in USA. Pretty faces, good homes, big rides, friendly people, cinema and many more. Come-on, you know very well that Nigeria is a living hell. Don't hide it. That is one of the reasons why we need good changes in Nigeria 3 Likes |
