Mr comprehension, You are not enlightened as you taught you are. To avoid unnecessary argument let me just ignore you.

Okay Sir.... cheesy

I suspect it may true to an extent.

What we do not need is another class of oppressors. If they were to relocate, they will have to live like everybody else, obey the culture and traditions and contribute positively to society.

But let us be honest, over 400 years of slavery, oppression and racism has traumatised the average African American. We should empathise with them.

I empathize with them. But that's not going to stop their discrimination against their African brothers.

I've seen many videos of African Americans treating Africans like shit.

Just go on Twitter and see for yourself.

One lady on a train was even telling a fellow African woman during an argument to get back on the boat that brought her to America and go back to Afrika.

Forgetting that her own ancestors were brought to America in chains.

The day we will open that particular can of worms on Twitter, BlackLivesMatter campaign will look like child's play.

K.

Gangs
Muggings
Burglary
Murder
Serial Killers
Molesters
Racism (not only to blacks)


Ofcourse, Americans/Britons are in a utopia.

I know most Nigerians are used to the killings already, but channel ur energy into stopping the killings in ur country instead of telling how it's the same in other countries. You are dealing with 6 terror groups in one damn country!

It is not news that there is insecurity as well as political and economic instability in Nigeria.

The person is not asking whether Nigeria is heaven they can come to. If America is so safe, why are they considering coming to Africa?

Are you saying there are no robberies, kidnaps, difficulty doing business in other countries, as it is in Nigeria? Albeit in varying levels.

No more comments.

The lack of investigation for issues like these genuinely worries people over here

Racism is worse than tribalism. Besides I am not African American, I am Igbo. Just asking these questions based on recent social media trends.

l will maintain that tribalism is worse than racism because evil things dine to you by people you call your own are more painful than those done to you by outsiders. if YOU don't love your own, how will you expect others to love you or them,
anyways what I said is my opinion and doesn't represent the opinions of others but actually you will hear different opinions but I think that experience is the best teacher, good enough you are from this side, how about you come and see for yourself?

I am home every year ( Owerri to be precise ) , and I am based in the UK :-)

My article was more for the benefit of African Americans.

I have not had a bad encounter with them , though I stay in the UK, but my sister who has been in the US ( Maryland ) for over 20 years does not seem to like them or get on with them. I don't know why, it just does not seem to click.

You wouldn't know since you stay in the UK.

Trust me, there will be attitude clash if they decide to relocate to Africa. Especially West and East Africa.

Many African Americans are planning to return and invest in Africa due to the racist fueled murders by both the police and white supremacists in the United States of America. Nigeria does not seem to be a popular destination; the countries of their affection are usually Gambia , Ghana , Senegal , Kenya, etc. But there are a few of them who are willing to take the plunge and test the waters in Nigeria.

I personally think this is a big risk because if there is one country where black lives do not matter, it is Nigeria.

What about you, would you advice African Americans to try out Nigeria initially, for settling down amongst their black brothers and sisters ?
what is this anyway, another avenue to Nigeria?You already know that Nigeria has a lot of issues with human right violation. Couple with corruption ,Terrorism,Kidnapping ,Inter-ethnic/religious violence with a harsh economic terrain for any decent person without very good means of income to survive .Yet you are asking if it is safe for AA to come.

America at present is better place to be in at least the only problem they are complaining about is racism .But here in Nigeria, we are battling worse than that . Nothing seems to be working in this country .The whole system is rotten from top to bottom including its citizens .

AA have started thier struggle and things will get better . I am sure with George Floyed death ,Things will turn around.

So no. Nigeria is not a suitable country for them to come at the moment .Maybe in the future when we have all manage to our our house in order.
For now you guys should check other African countries out.
