They're not Nigerians, they are Britons of Nigerian descents.

I get your point and I often get into the they are "Nigerians or not" conversation. To me they are Nigerians and at the same time British.

Nigeria is their heritage.

Why is it that our Northern brothers hardly perform well internationally

What is it to celebrate in this? Has this brought good roads, electricity, good education, good health care system to this country?
When Obama became president of U.S.A, how did it benefit the average man in kenya?
To be sincere, i really dont know what it is to celebrate in this.
Ilu yii gan sef!!!

Because IPOB is the name of a registered (I hope) self determination group and Afonja is actually a name people have till today. The original Afonja was a Yoruba war general of ancient time that fought over 28 wars. He became so powerful that he hatched a plan to annex a part of the Yoruba empire (Ilorin, a town in Kwara State of the present Nigeria). To do this he partnered with a foreign country...He was eventually betrayed they the foreign nation (Fulanis). Thus you have a mix of Fulanis and Yoruba in Ilorin till today.

How will that impact your lives? You all seem to forget that these guys are using their intellect to develop another country. And rightly so. Only a foool would waste his/her talent on Nigeria.

But still, they carry 9ja torch brighter than most ugwu or ewedu-eating locally based Nigerians.

Those who do well are mostly those who grew up with the never-say-die determined attitude of their 9ja parents.

It takes resilience and proper adjustment to an environment where you are of minority ethnicity to navigate the system.

If you have suck kids, you will know that if you raise them to be proud of their heritage, they will be first to shout their "Nigerianness", while immigrants Lukmon & Chinedu are busy faking accent to mask their own.

lol the Hausa's do not detest or forget their mother land and leave to go and settle in another mans land..its like not having faith in your motherland so much that you want to go and even migrate to live in another mans land and become their slave.

How many Britons, Americans,or any foreigner do u see coming to settle or even to contest here?

If these Nigerians tell u the daily insults they get in terms of racism,u will b amazed

lovelygurl:


That's not my problem with the topic. My problem is acting as if Nigeria ever did sth for these people. Nigeria has failed its youth so no need pretending that they would have the same chance if they were in Nigeria. It's the British society which made them who they are today not the Nigerian!

Besides most of them are women, how many women are into politics in Nigeria. When they have already been drilled into that marriage is the number 1 goal every woman should achieve. It's more likely to hear Nigerians shut a woman up if she talks about politics because of the "what does she know" mentality.

Everyday I see British or Americans with Nigerian heritage doing great but then Nigerians acting like they achieved those goals BECAUSE they are "Nigerians"
