When it is done by a white man towards a black man, it is given a name racism. What about the one done by a black man towards his fellow black man.

I was not chosen to mark weac script in osun state during coordination because I am not Yoruba.

What about Kano riot when a particular ethnic group was singled out for massacre.

The whites are lenient, if it was we blacks that were in the position of the whites..........


I presume you are SE from your write up and I can tell you that your own ethnic group is the worst in this country when it comes to tribalism.

SE generally have this extreme hatred for other ethnic groups.

I am neither Hausa not Yoruba.

Then you're in for a huge surprise if you think majority of EU countries aren't racist including Finland, a non English-speaking country at that where you have to ask people if they speak English before you initiate a discussion with them during the early days/months of your stay there.

Chairman calm down! There are racist in every country and racism occur in every country.
Even if you ask Google if the Finish are racist it would tell you Yes because of few people that has experience a little bit if Racism

But here is the thing, there are some countries that there are least racist.

And European countries won that list. Even your darling Nigeria is more Racist than 97% of European countries.

As a matter of fact Europe is the least Racial continent on Earth quote me anywhere. Asia and Africa are the most racist continent on planet Earth.

Talking about English speaking countries U.S.A IS A Racist country.

England in Europe is out of the contest of least racist. As a matter of fact they are the chief architect of Racism and even your darling Nigeria is a Racist country, 10 times more Racist than Finland if you don't know it, know it today.

Majority of Nigerins dislike Chinese and are fond of trolling people of Asia descent. Before I mentioned Finland here trust me I have done extensive research about the country.

Please do your due diligence before you approach me. I'm not just speaking from research carried out.

I have family members scattered around Europe and Asia and people from Asia has complained more about Asia racism (especially China and India) than Europe.

View the pictures below. Can you see your darling Nigeria there and compare.

Some racist marry the race they hate. It can be that bad.

I am curious, do black women also go through this? Because it seems like it is always or most times black men complaining of racism and witch-hunting. Pardon me, I feel little to no sympathy for them, given that they are at the forefront of tribal and gender discrimination in their safe zones (e.g Nigeria). Not forgetting white-worship. So maybe they can get a feel of what it feels like to be the inferior party from their revered Team-Foreign.

I am not afraid. I just do not trust anyone. Being afraid and trusting no one are two different things.

When I moved to the U. K for my master. I stay in an flat which consist of many white English boys. So an England boy called Harry decided to show me the equipment in the apartment. So when we got to the kitchen he show me a dish washer which I did not care to look at and he responded that have I see a dish washer before? I was shock and told him of course have seen a dish washer and he reply that I did not want to sound rude but africa are poor and always hungry and I reply him do I look like someone that is poor and hungry and his respond was you are from the rich family in Africa and I told him clearly my parents are not rich that am just an average Nigerian boy and he his reply was it is impossible that you are either rich or poor in Africa and my response was that he should stop believing the propaganda been pass by CNN and BBC about Africa.

After that we bonded and we usually teese ourself and crack jokes. So during December period I was infected with covid 19 which all. Of them in the house have travel to their family home to spend Christmas and new year holiday. So during that mid January on Friday I was in the parlour with my white flatmates and we where just joking and catching fun then we started to talk about covid and I told them during the time they travel I contacted covid and Harry reply that he is going to kill me so I laugh and I thought it was one of the joke but he said he mean it and I started telling him that so do u expect me to call u in your family home and tell u I contacted covid and the others white where explaining to him and this guy started using abusing words against me telling me to return back to Africa and saying some nasty words about Africa and I told him if u have brief with me then challange me and stop picking on my continent and colour and he told me that he is going to insult my colour and continent that if I want to fight him then we should go to the garden to fight as man to man. I was just saying in my mind this man is looking for someone to kill him. I just ignore him and when I stop replying him he just calm down and left. What pain me most was when he left then all the white guys told me his crazy that I should not answer him and I was like when he was insulting me racially all of u where just watching him as if nothing happen. After some time he came back to the parlour and apologise to everyone except me for been a nusiance and after that he wanted to discuss with me and I shouted at him saying back off. After sometime he wanted talking to me and I just ignore him as if nobody is talking and after talking I just close my laptop and gave him a bad gesture and left the palour then he reply that I am looking at him as a vallian that he is not a bad guy.

The next day his girlfriend came visiting him and was smiling at me and i just reply her with a bone face and left. Then after sometime he came apologising to me that what he did to me was wrong that he did it under the influence of acholol which I know but I said to myself for him to say this to me when he was drunk meaning he has been harbouring such thoughts in his mind and the alcohol just gave him the courage to express his racist characters to me. I told him I forgive him but right now I don't trust any English people or white people because for such a guy to laugh and joke with u and still be a racist his something terrible. Abeg make una give bristish chance.

I just see a spoilt little English boy. Did you ask how old he is.

Keep him at arms length but don't nurse grudges. This is not an ideal racist situation.

At least if a white person is corrected from racism even if they don't show complete remorse they will at least desist from showing their stupidity openly, tribalistic nigerians no matter how many times you tell them they will still openly show their hatred of other tribes without remorse or an attempt to control themselves

Mine happened at my working place, they will smile at you and stab you from behind.
Some of them feel intimidated by us and I guess we human beings are wired like that.

I later left the place for them and as God may have it, I finally got a better place.

Moral of the lesson, don't assume they love u because of their smiles, don't tell them your secret that will count against you especially we guys with their young ladies.

I used to think otherwise when I was in naija! but most in London are friendly and accommodating unlike North here
north england can be tough sometimes

My guy those clowns are bastards. Imagine one telling me that i should go crack jokes at eko hotel since i was basket mouth. See gits oh. I went to do inspection on Heavy duty equipment at T.I.C.T.(those of you familiar with Apapa Quay will know this wonderful company) this guy(British) is someone my boss introduced to me as a cool guy. if not for say Nigeria is a messed up kwantiri. I am way older than this clown in question. After inspection, we had a briefing with the main boss(British), he was in attendance too. I asked for their cards/electronic mail contact in order to send a report to them. he's boss agreed and wanted to pass his card to me and then he just chipped in and said that we should not worry that he will get in touch with our boss. He said i should go report to my boss and that my boss will brief him. I was like, what's this one saying(in my mind), i as much as I'll definitely report to my boss, i still should have your contact to send you the report or should i be asking of your contact from my boss? we ended the session and didn't get their contact. when we stepped out he came to me and told me that i was acting out and feeling too big. why would i request his bosses contact and then in told him that its normal for me to request for their contacts in order to send them a report regarding the inspection and the boy called me a clown, that i was just acting out and feeling to big and that if i want to impress anyone that i should go to eko hotel and crack jokes with basket mouth. Mogbe!! i looked at him, already in rage cos I'm short tempered. if not for my colleague that accompanied me that day, maybe i for throw white boy inside ocean. My advice. these clowns knows how to get someone riled up and if you don't control your temper they'll capitalize on your unprofessionalism and una know say naija police dey too respect white man.
