It’s not racism.
During a war, you don’t expect a country to use up all their resources to protect foreigners while their citizens are perishing behind.
Same applies to you, you would protect your family first before thinking of helping your neighbors or strangers
If black people are prevented from boarding trains that were designated to take refugees and you're a black person and you don't have a problem with that, I don't know what to say to you.

You and Reno would be making a bit of sense If only Ukrainians are evacuated first, followed by all others - Europeans, Africans, Arabs, Asians, etc. Here, Africans are being singled out and prevented from boarding trains and are being asked to provide visa to be admitted into a neighbouring country and you're talking about "resources". I hear. Why not extend the same courtesy to South Africans who are merely protecting their "resources" from Nigerians?

We're not saying they should extend free education to Nigerians or share iPhone for them. We're saying that all HUMAN LIVES should be prioritised in a WAR SITUATION. And you're talking about resources. What is wrong with you people?

To me, there's nothing bad the Ukrainian Government did to Nigerians in Ukraine.

This is unrest and security breach. Priorities must come first.

Why were even Nigerian citizens in Ukraine running away from the chaos?

Why did they not stand by the Ukrainian Government to fight the war coming from Russia?

You do not run away from your house while your enemy attack, you stand and protect your interest.

Ukrainian soldiers are doing the work while the strangers were running away. So, there's no way same treatment can be given to all. It doesn't happen.

Priorities first.

I don't want to talk about the South African menace. They're worse off. Xenophobia is hell.


Exactly my point, You claim to be a citizen and you are running away and expect to be given priority

You have to consider the fact the majority of Ukrainian citizens are in the middle class. Not same for us. Besides, they treat citizens as virtually equals.

The reason why Nigeria would do that is because 80% of our population are living below average standard of living. So by default, the elite will feel "they have a right" of first preference.

I've grown my mind to first see things as a human of equal and in context before seeing the fact of why the other race does certain things, and I notice we create room for bias on our side.

Well, you might be right to a very large extent, but let's put aside the class thing as Nigerians....it still doesn't erase the fact that white foreigners will be evacuated before Nigerians in the middle and lower classes are allowed to leave. Discriminatory treatments at our various airports and factories are typical examples of what to expect during wartime in Nigeria (God forbid)

The train wasn’t for refugees. It was basically a train to transport people from the part of Ukraine that was under fire.
They didn’t allow not just Nigerians but also indians and Ghanaians in because they still had their citizens on the queue. I don’t know where you are getting your reports from but from the video we saw on Aljazeera, the soldiers at the train station asked the Ukrainians on the queue to raise their hands so they could identify and allow them in first before any other set of people.

Also, Indians were later allowed to board the train after they made a call through to the Indian embassy in Ukraine but they said they were not able to reach the Nigerian embassy yet so they couldn’t put them on the train without letting their people know where they are taking them to. I remember a lady shouting to the camera saying that the Nigerian embassy couldn’t be reached so they wouldn’t let them in on the train and that was when some Nigerians started making calls people in Top offices in Nigeria to help them reach the Nigerian embassy. It was all mentioned in the video we watched on Aljazeera.

Nah! I beg to differ...our mumu authorities would still ensure every white or fairer foreigner gets evacuated first, followed by the rich and influential...then much later the masses. Nigerians might later come first before other African countries, but definitely not before the Whites and Chinese in particular, our authorities worship those folks, they can kill even fellow countrymen to protect them.

But apart from the corrupt and slave angle to it, Nigerians are kinda wired to treat visiting foreigners better than we treat ourselves. Bitter but true!

Please ask them o. Head dey pain some people aswear. I have known and heard first hand how Ukrainians see and treat blacks...but when this senseless war started, I forgot all that, and started drumming support for them...until they started pulling this racial stunt with our people. I would have maybe looked the other way if they had atleast allowed our women and children safe passage...but forcefully ejecting that young woman and her ward from that train breaks my heart

Reno gave a wrong analogy with the Dunkirk situation. Ukraine should allow fleeing Africans to reach the places of refuge where they can be evacuated by their home countries. If Nigeria sends a boat, plane, or bus to Polish borders, just like the Britain did for British soldiers at Dunkirk, then by all means, Nigerian refugees should board first. Besides, isn't Ukraine developed enough to have put logistical contingencies for movement of refugees, in anticipation of the war?

If Nigeria were to be under attack by Cameroon, I bet foreigners would be evacuated with top priority. This shows Africans are always put at the bottom of the totem pole, given the state of dysfunction in the motherland. This impending war should've been seen as a form as ASUU strike or oso ABIOLA; the students should've been notified to head home or get to the nearest port of escape.

Does the above make any sense to you?

Ukrainian citizens were running away from danger and you expect strangers who contribute to their economy by patronising their education to remain and fight…fight for who? Same Ukrainians that were running away from their country?

Receive sense.

But everyone can't be successful...and also, there are levels to being successful...being a millionaire of maybe 20m worth doesn't guarantee you will be treated differently from normal folks during wartime.

You have to be super rich and popular for you to get preferential treatment in such times

If I may ask, which part of your body is your brain located? So, you are saying that foreign students should stay back and fight with Ukraine against Russia. You should first ask if they used to get the same benefits as Ukrainian citizens before the war. Senseless!

Yes, bitter truth. It's happening everyday all over Africa, and most especially Nigeria. A place where security officials would hold umbrella over the head of a foreigner in order to protect him/her from rain.

Do you know what a refugee/displaced person is? Apparently not. Black folks running away from a fire should be sent back into the fire until some ambassador picks a call? In any case, you're only talking about one instance. There have been plenty that don't involve any embassy.

Oga nothing like emotions here, it's reality. Stop pretending as if you don't know what am talking about. A whiteman will be walking on Nigerian street and people will rush outa their houses and be starring as if he/she fell from heaven. You'll hear "see oyibo, see oyibo". Will they admire a blackman like that in their country?

We know there are many Muslims that starts each post like that Monika GoTV guy that says "Even though I'm a Bornagain Christian, bla.. bla.." Their Kiran encouraged them to use Deception to destroy Christianity. If truly you are a Christian So, you are talking "An eye for an eye"?! Is that what JESUS taught you?
Satan has manipulated humans against humans in all Generations, time for Christians to wise up and build bridges Worldwide among fellows!

Racism of Islamic Arabs against African Muslims is 100times worst than Europeans to Africans. Only them have refused slave Trade to die. Right in modern times, Black Africans are literally still sold as Slaves on websites by these Monsters! Yet, you don't see Nigerian Muslims call for the head of Saudi Arabia or Omar because of that. My Muslim friend was literally spat upon in Qatar, right into his face in a public vehicle and he dared not say pim. He called me crying and later permanently converted to Christianity. They manipulated and took over Turkey in our fathers generation. Our own Generation should learn from the past! We must Support Ukraine and ensure that Satanic Putin and his blood-sucking Jihadist supporters don't take over the awesome Christian Country!

Africans, exterminate that "white saviour" mentality from your brains. Nobody can love you more than yourself. You have all forgotten what it mean to be second-class citizens. And here we are talking of ordinary foreign students. Black for that matter in a Eastern European country. Are you all surprised? You know nothing about this world then.
