Reminds me of the story a friend told me of a time when he had to attend a conference in France. He didn't get a direct flight to France that day, so he opted for the only option on the table - a stopover in Italy. Seeing as all the other classes had been booked, he had to go for a first class ticket. On arriving at the airport in Italy (can't remember the exact one now, was so 'fascinated' by the story when he was telling it), he was the only one that was told to step aside seeing as he was the only black guy alighting from the first class section. He said they took him to a room and started grilling him with numerous questions, many of which he admitted he fumbled with due to the tension and the nature of the sessions. That was the end of his journey that time, he was deported back to Nigeria right from the airport. Though it may not be as extreme as it used to be, racism is alive and well in the contemporary world. I must also admit that sometimes it's not about racism but due to the irresponsible ways some of our compatriots behave abroad - dealing drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, etc etc. 7 Likes |

OlajumokeBread: Reading your post, I almost puke. You are ignorant, lack moral judgement, devoid of truth and certainly never know you've been abused and discriminated against. Racism is very much prevalent this 2016 than it was years ago. Every decision by the govt, institutions and industries are often weighed upon race and gain. Have you ever as a black person been to a shopping mall and asked by an attendant if you need any assistant? Well, it was meant to be the other way round. You see, any time you go out shopping and you see an assistant come to the aisle that you are and asked if you need any help, you're technically being discriminated against because of your Colour. Shop assistant are advised and taught to wait until they are called upon by shoppers before they approach. Police favours white 10x more than blacks. They de-escalate situations when it involves their white counterparts. Thy aggressively and impatiently react to blacks when blacks exercise their rights just as any white person would do. But as a black person, you're forbidden to act FREE. You still viewed as slaves and baboons. Racism in Ireland, UK and and France are very subtle, hidden, but rampant and prevalent. It's hidden in institutions like banks and work place. Researches found out that blacks find it more difficult to gain promotions in these countries because of institutionalize racism. I tell you this, if any white person commend you or compliment you for either dressing nice, talking good or having a nice car, you're being violated of your individualism. First of all, they hate your gut, and complimenting you is just a way of trying to intimidate you. People are dying for no apparent reason in America in the hands of cops. Can you justify that? Freddie Gray, Trevon Martin and all those killed recently were products of racism and bias institutions targeting people of colour. Same thing applies to U.K. And Ireland where hidden racism is rampant and on the rise. In the US, the media sell what people want to listen to or see. They paint black people as aggressive, gangsters, on social welfare and violent. 2016 FBI statistics concluded that 98% of crimes committed against black people are from black people(black on black crime), while 83% of same crime are white on white. Judging by population, white people commit more crime on their own than black people. Black are only 10% of the population, while white people account for 85%. But you won't see the media hammering on the white on white crimes because it doesn't sell. All you see, read and hear in the news are some sort of new world order. A propaganda that's meant to take your eyes away from real happenings around you. I have lots to say, but will continue in due course. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

sukkot: Abuja, every thing in nija is hard as usual lol but my advice to people relocating is to look for avenues of becoming self employed rather than coming to job hunt. look for a franchise you can bring over or learn some new skills e.g interior design, fashion, automotive etc you know we have that inferior mind set for "foreign things" with such knowledge , one will do well |

dondo83:powerful advice. i never understand people who leave abroad to go to nigeria to look for job. sounds crazy. people need to start investing in getting skills that they can use with their own hands to set up something as opposed to trying to get college degrees and masters abroad. it is those ones who come abroad for masters and phd that come to naija looking for jobs. i know a guy who did auto-mechanic in london and i hear he is in naija now with his own shop fixing high end cars. all he needed to start up where his tools. he didnt have to look for work. got into naija and just started immediately 3 Likes 2 Shares |
