Anybody that belives this crap is smoking cheap weed! For example:

2. In India, the city of Mumbai alone has almost 60,000 millionaires; meanwhile, in Nigeria, there are just 12,300 millionaires in the entire country.

We all know this is highly incorrect, how was this calculated? In Lagos alone there are over 10,000 millionaires judging from bank account alone, when we now add assets such as houses, cars and so on, the number becomes even more. Let's not even get to Abuja where the big boys play...lol.

@the first bolded, can you bring the falsity in my claims? Name the ones you thought was false and I will give you sources and evidence to back it up.

@the second bolded, what is USA finding in their territory? The USA flew a drone the other time near Iran border which Iran shot down. If the USA are not terrorists why are they flying drone over Iran? DO you know how many casualties the USA expedition has caused in the middle east, directly or indirectly? They make their lives seems like chicken by labeling them terrorist so people won't question their atrocities.

in 1988, the USA bombed Iran Air Flight 655, a Dubai-bound civilian Airbus A300 with 290 people on board—all of whom were killed. They later claimed it was a mistake. Are they not terrorists for that act? If Iranians bombed a plane carrying civilians won't the world call them terrorists??

I am not saying Iran is not sponsoring some terrorist but USA is also a terrorist on their own. Infact they are the biggest terrorist coz they have invaded a lot of countries thereby causing a lot of atrocities as the ripple effect. DO you know how many kids were orphaned in Afghanistan and Libya?

I'm not going to go back and forth with you on things you have little or partial information on, if you beliebve the invasion of Afghanistan was not justified then you are a joker! The U.S has made some mistakes along the way but unless you have some information from the CIA or British Intelligence, I suggest you stop using Wikipedia as your source. Moving on, the 1988 incident was that not in the middle of the revolution? Was it not true that the USA was in the middle of a faceoff with another Iranian ship? Was it not true that the missile from the US ship was targetting the Iranian ship but the plane was just caught in-between? Next time you want to use an incident to justify your point make sure you know all the facts rather than relying on Google to do your reseaerch for you.

LegendHero:
This is not a matter of education, disprove my facts or bring contrary opinion.

I don't need anyone to spoon-feed me with a video.

But most of the things you listed are not facts but circumstantial theories. The USA has never claimed any responsibility for the things you listed so where did you get your facts from? Movies? At this satge if you're still blind that Iran is a mjor sponsor of terrorism in the middle east then you are on your own. It might have started out as a movement for restoring power to the people of Iran but nowadays it is a front for so many terrorists.

People fighting for peace don't target U.S operatives with rockets, they don't kill U.S contractors and most certainly don't sponsor the rogue elements in Syria. U.S is guilty but don't you dare paint Iran as some type of innocent avenger!

LtChisom:
I respect the Muslims so much but I know they are the kind of people that will be dishing out this kind of propaganda theory. for God's sake, how can you Muslims now remove yourselves from what you've created and then twist and interwove it with other nations who has gat noting to do with it, line seriously, how does that lie sound, ISIS, iswab and co all have jhadist agenda and that is Islamic, so how are you Muslims concocting that it's Israel that hates Muslims or USA that fights Islamic terrorists that will now create ISIS, this is 2020 fellas and nobody is buying those your sentimental bullshit lies again. not that no religion is better than the others but for now Islam and Muslims are breeding the highest number of terrorists around the world.

Jihadist agenda is Islamic? Are you drunk? The first Jihad(Holy war) since AD was a crusade by the Holy Roman Catholic church. In fact jihad is referenced in the old testament of the Bible many times(just search for holy war), you might want to read the book of Joshua very well. Terrorism as we know it today is fueled by a combination of brainwashing, poverty and deliberate sabotage. Let me ask you, if the Nigerian government showed you evidence that the USA was sabotaging our economy, that they placed spies to divide us and other evidence, would you be inclined to hate the USA? I bet many of us would, this is exactly what is going on in Iran, Pakistan and so on where groups like ISIS, Hezbollah and so on exist, this is not only a religious war but one of economic frustration. Islam did not create jihad just like Christianity did not create good vs evil.....SHINE YOUR EYES!

Iran is economically weak so I doubt they'll really want to end up like Iraq. I also doubt the US wants another blow to the economy so this will not be world war but a war of proxies. Economic and cyber battles unless Iran don mad and decides to go nuclear, if this happens then Iran will no logner exist!

He did insult him but I don't think a retaliation was necessary. This is a faceless forum and we're all here to learn. Every comment does not require a response and if we must respond, we should try and do so respectfully. I've learnt so much and still learning. God bless all the great contributors on this forum.

Nairaland is a faceless forum and those of us that have been here for awhile knows that you must have a thick skin in order to separate the noise from the real useful messages. I don't mind the insult because I can dish them as well, it is perfectly balanced

ogawisdom:
U are simply myopic or plain ignorant
There are always two sides to a coin, that u failed in business speaks volumes of your narrow mindedness but don't forget we still have many success stories like dangote et al.
If u don't want to invest in the real sector then shut up and accept the 1% on offer n crawl back to your cave.

Crashing TB n FD is excellent for our economy

In a country of over 150 million people with over 1 million businesses, I wonder why Dangote is usually the reference point for success? The Dangote that just lost over 70 spot on the Forbes richest list? Nigeria is truly working.....Ode!

ogawisdom:
Wow what is happening to TBill will build our economy in the long run

Buhari n his economic team have received sense finally

The era of free money is over

TB will get to 1% for 365 day so that people will be forced to invest in the SME and create jobs. The real sector must come alive for our economy to recover. How can someone with over 10m be hiding in TB n FD for free money.

Totally unacceptable

Take risks, impact our economy and make over 100% monthly in SMEs

Ogawisdom sorry you lack wisdom. How many people have invested 10m or above in the Nigerian economy through businesses and so on but only to come back empty handed? How many have gone from the edge of wealth to the brink of poverty all because of the Nigerian business landscape? Government cannot force people to invest in bad deals, people are getting smarter now, they'll rather invest outside of Nigeria than to invest in a business that could be crippled by one idiotic government policy. Truck business, Farming, Hotel business, Uber, I've done it all, abeg avoid me at all cost

U still keep on repeating d same sh*t.. Simple question got u blabbing.. u r so dumb.. ur comment on ShowDemCamp camp shows aw dumb u r.. even MI listed Ghost of ShowDemCamp among d 5 best rappers in Africa.. Ur ignorance is cancerous n it has eaten d last of u.. So if u av more album sales n largest fan base u r d best rapper.. MI declined 2 battle Vector one on one coz he knows d effect of d outcome.. his success won't save him.. he followed Drake's lead.. If Drake has replied Pusha T he would av been buried.. Blaqbonez told Vector in his Diss d Crown is for d taking.. Its not abt JayZ going into a rap beef with a rookie.. its wat happens if he looses a cypher 2 a newcomer.. Nicki Minaj isn't d best female rapper.. she was just lucky.. Lil Kim had her probs.. RemmyMa went 2 prison for 6yrs after a gang shooting.. Nicki was left with Dej loaf, Iggy.. substandard rappers.. she became d Queen.. was best rapper for 7years.. 2010-2016.. them RemmyMa came out of prison.. Got in a beef with Nicki.. She released Shether a killing diss track.. that year Nicki lost d crown.. RemmyMa won best rapper in 2017, Cardi B came.. won it in 2018, 2919.. Competition is here.. Nicki knows it.. now she has decided 2 step back.. she is already a legend tho.. that's rap.. let me ask u a question.. Who is better Mode9 or MI?..

I'm not going to dignify you by entertaining your delusions more...Goodluck Einstein of the rap world, leave us dumb folks alone

Ryocaj:
M sorry 2 disappoint u but some of us still listen 2 hardcore rap music.. n wen we talk rap.. just sit n b humble.. I guess u didn't c d Hennessy Artistry Cyphers 2019 Grand Finale.. D auditions.. d performances from d VS class captains.. D problem u av is reading 2 understand.. m not talking abt dissing or rap battles only.. I only asked a question u av refused 2 answer.. If an A list rapper gets beaten hands down by an unknown rapper or less successful rapper in a cypher.. who is d better rapper.. common sense.. common analogy.. U r known for being excellent in maths.. someone comes from somewhere n blows u away in hard maths.. who is d best mathematician between d both if u... Rap is still appreciated if not.. Vector won't have fans.. Vibes Before Teslim won't av over 2.5m streams in just 4weeks.. ShowDemCamp won't b succeesful with Clone Wars IV (These Buhari Times), n so on.. These guys didn't switch.. Just say u don't listen 2 hardcore rap.. Wen we talk hardcore rap sit n listen.. Trap is Rap gone bad..

Your question does not deserve a response, why would an A list rapper be dueling with an unknown rapper? You're living in what we call delusional state. It's like Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly dueling via Cyphers...It's beneath him. Your problem is simple, you are stuck in your own little bubble. Henessy Artistry is awesome but tell me how many of those rappers actually form a legacy? How many actually make it mainstream? How many are remembered 10, 15 years after? Like I said before I'm not here to convince you, if you believe guys like vibes, showdemcamp is the definition of best rappers then you're already lost and no amount of back and forth can rescue you....Let's use your example of maths or science, what good is a scientist or a mathematician that is unknown to the scientific community? You are defined by your accomplishments, for rappers this means album sales, fan base etc, JayZ, Kanye, Kendrick will never be side by side with the best duelers in rap but nonetheless they are hailed as one of the best ever, you can continue deluding yourself but this is where I sign out, I can't help you my nigga!

Ryocaj:
What u don't know is d way u judge a rapper is diff from judging a singer.. MI is ckearly a more successful rapper than Vector with more awards in general.. y do most ppl think Vector is a better rapper.. only MI fans seem to think MI is better.. It would b insane 2 say MI is better than Mode 9 or ShowDemCamp.. yet he is more successful, more recognized, has a larger fanbase.. than them.. Rap goes deeper than just success.. Singers can come together n compete n u can conclude they are all good n almost on same level.. but not rappers.. as time goes on u c d diff.. u c ability differs.. u c some r clearly on a higher level.. don't u watch cyphers.. even d big names coming together.. Tim Westwood that year.. look at how Jagz clearly showed he was on another level over MI n Ice.. u don't knw rap.. that is d prob u av.. this is a simple analogy.. I asked u a question.. If Vector beats hands down MI one on one.. Who is d better rapper? y didn't his success save him from humiliation? Blaqbonez was d first runner up in Vector's king Kong competition.. that was aw he came 2 limelight.. he didn't win it.. he was beaten hands down in d grand finale by d winner.. yet he is d successful one.. Mocheddah won Skales, Wizkid, Ice at d Dynamix awards.. they r more successful than she is.. That's y u c a relatively unknown rapper in a diss with a star rapper.. that's d culture.. irrespective of ur success.. its ur ability on d MIC.. ur success might b due to ur more appealing style, beats, Swagg, Looks, music.. it may not b rap itself.. Rap doesn't sell in naija coz 99% of Nigerians don't understand rap music.. If Khaligraph Jones was a Nigerian he wouldn't b a star, or Nadia Nakai.. hardcore rap ain't appreciated here...

Here's a newsflash, HARDCORE RAP AIN'T APPRECIATED ANYWHERE! I told you to mention the top 10 rappers in the USA right now, if you did you would notice that harccore rap is dead, new age is in vogue now and the sooner you realize this the better. Battling without recognition is rubbish and you certainly don't know more about rap than the rap community over here. I think what you are mistaken here is your believe that hardcore rap still exist, it is GONE! What we have now is modified hip-hop/trap music/migos flow. No rapper out there would be successful just by battling or dissing, no way! So the question remains, if you're not successful then what the f*ck are you? If you're not dropping legendary albums, what the hell are you dropping? You expect someone like Nas/Jay Z to battle an unknown rapper to prove their worth? Hahahaha....Comedy

Ryocaj:
U c ur problem.. is it that u can't read or u don't av d ability to understand? I told u success n ability 2 rap are 2 diff things.. Pelepele committed suicide recently coz he was frustrated being in d industry for so long without any head way.. He was one of d best indigenous rappers I av heard.. M not saying success is sh!t.. Open ur ears now.. Wat I am saying is ability 2 rap is diff from being a successful rapper.. If a Grammy award winning rapper gets beaten hands down in a cypher by a rookie.. yes he is a more successful rapper but d rookie is d better rapper.. his platinum albums n Grammy awards won't come into place in a cypher.. they won't save him.. MI knows if he goes into a one on one cypher with Vector he would lose badly.. he would lose d crown he bestowed on himself.. u can't battle someone who freestyles "hardcore rap" for 3hours.. Yes MI is d more successful rapper but if he loses d Cypher it becomes glaring Vector is better.. that's d point I am making.. wat do u find so difficult 2 understand in this?

In almost every area in life you're judged based on your success or recognition. How can you call someone the best when there's no proof? I'm sure there are many talented rappers in Detroit but just because Eminem does not battle with them does not make him lose his right to be called one of the best ever. You better wake up from your ignorant slumber, when it comes to judging talents who do you think people would listen to, Grammy judges or you? When it comes to judging rappers who do you think people will listen to, the fanbase or you? You're a f*ckin nobody who still believes rappers nowadays must battle or diss to become great, listen to the top rappers in the USA right now, most of them don't do that sh*t yet they are still recognized as one of the best. I'm tired of explaining this to you my nigga, BELIEVE WHAT YOU WILL!

Ryocaj:
U r just too foolish.. so if u av multiple awards n platinum albums n we get into a cypher.. n I win u in all aspects (Punchlines, Metaphors, Pettiness, Wordplay, Facts, Rhyming, Fabrications, Delivery) u r still a better rapper than me Shey.. u no well.. Wo ppl go reason ur matter ehn.. d kind ridicule wey u go get.. Aw can u be a proven rapper if u av Neva been in a cypher battle.. u r not a rapper.. I rap n I luv rap music.. learn 2 take corrections.. someone asked me if J.Cole has ever been in a diss n I gave him d song.. he learned..

So your definition of the best rapper is one who battles all day but can't pull crowd? One who has never had a platinum album or sold out concert? One whose songs or lyrics won't be remembered in another decade. If the entire rap community had the same mindset as you then PAC would never be a legend because he did little to no battle once he made it to the big leagues. Like I said stick to your local level and let the history books decide who is remembered as best rappers.

Ever heard of Loaded Lux, Charlie Clips, Murda Mook, Illmaculate and dumbfoundead? These niggas are some of the greatest rap battlers ever but guess what? PAC, Biggie, Nas, Jigga, Eminem and even Kanye would always be rated higher than them. I DARE YOU TO GO OUT IN THE RAP COMMUNITY AND SAY THESE GUYS ARE BETTER THAN PAC & BIGGIE......See if they won't put a tire on your neck and roast you.....You love rap but you are so set in your ways that you failed to realize rap has evolved beyond battling.....JOKER!

Ryocaj:
Do I av 2 open ur skull 4 u 2 get it.. Aw did u get through Middle school.. If Drake or lets say Kendrick goes on one on one diss cypher with a relatively unknown rapper n he gets his ass whooped badly.. who is then d better rapper.. Success doesn't come into play in live rap battles.. even if u av 100 platinum albums, 1000 Grammy awards.. they won't save u in a live battle.. if u get ur ass kicked in a cypher yr reputation is gone.. that is y most of d top rappers run from live battle cyphers.. they got their reputation 2 keep.. being a good rapper is different from being a good musician.. we av musicians that r not that good that are very successful.. u can b a gud rapper n not successful.. u can b a below par rapper n b successful.. u can b both n neither too..

If battling is still your criteria for judging best rapper then your skull is even more empty than a basket used to store water. Goodluck trying to prove that an unknown rapper is betetr than a rapper that has sold multiple platinum albums. Good luck making people belive that your unknown rapper will sell more tickets or perform more shows than Kendrick or Drake......STOOPID!

Ryocaj:
Are u learned at all? y m I arguing with u.. If MI gets into a rap battle with Vector n gets torn apart that would be d end of him.. his legacy, his success,.. that's aw rap works.. As a rapper u must av been in a supremacy battle.. all top rappers go through that.. MI claims he is d best.. his only diss was against Kelly Hansome.. Now shying away from battling VEC, he dropped a track not "diss" named The Viper.. Vector replied with a Diss track n MI went mute.. 2Pac, Biggie dissed themselves.. Being able 2 rap is diff from being a successful rapper.. So many Top rappers in Naija that are not well known coz ppl like u don't know what Rap is.. n u r d majority in Naija.. Teeto, Rukus, Godwon, Sinzu, KillZ, AQ, Phlow Terry, Kemistry, Blaise, Phenom,Posly TD, DJ Switch,.. these are rappers that will spit bars anyday even wen just awoken from sleep.. They don't need 2 write or sit n think.. Combining hardcore rap with danceable tunes is d prob naija rappers av coz of Nigerians.. No one is interested in hardcore rap.. MI is a successful musician but he isn't d best rapper in naija.. he is not even close.. there is a long list ahead of him.. If u r a good rapper years from now rap fans will always remember you even if u aren't doing active music.. Eva, Sasha, Kemistry, Bouqui aren't doing active rap music again.. they r not forgotten.. wen it comes 2 femcees they r top.. Mode9 ain't making hits.. But wen it comes 2 rap in naija.. he is top.. my best rap song ever from Nigeria is from Mode9- Mount Everest.. that is rap.. Ikechukwu isn't doing active music but wen it comes 2 rap.. Even Vector respects him.. his cypher on Hennessy Artistry 2019 was dope.. We av seen so many rappers that didn't go past hardcore rap fans.. they had limited success but are really really dope.. Kel, Eclipse, AO, Ghetto P, Tesh carter, Classiq, Muna, Zee,.. The only reason y S.A rappers look untouchable is because rap sells more than club music over there.. Eva, Sasha P, Kemistry, Bouqui will stand Nadia Nakai any day..

Like I said before Rap has evolved beyond the nonsense you wrote. I don't play on local leagues, my market is here in the USA, Atlanta precisely. I'm friends with several rappers who can spit fire and battle with the best but I'm not foolish to call them the best ahead of Kendrick or even Drake. I'm tired of repeating myself, if you think you can call someone the best and yet they can't pull crowds, they can't sell albums or even go on major tours then you're a joker! Mentioning Sasha, Bouqui as rap legends is a slap on your intelligence, ask any 15 to 20 year old who Sasha is and they'll tell you who? 5 years from now ask the same age group who she is and they'll become confused. Same goes for vector and all the other rubbish you mentioned above. Talent without fame is bullsh*t and if you don't see that then argue with your keyboard my nigga!

Ryocaj:
Success Varies.. Vector is successful.. but not as successful as MI.. m talking abt rap.. wat u r saying are like condiments.. D major reason y MI doesn't want 2 battle Vector one on one.. he knows he would lose badly.. everyone knows that.. Wat I am telling u is if 2 rappers grab d mic 2 diss.. success won't come into play.. just their pure rap abilities.. Wen u talk rap.. its just their ability 2 rap.. nothing more.. MI being more successful won't save him on a one on one cypher.. how do u beat someone that freestyles for 3hours non stop in a cypher.. its suicide..

Do you think rapping nowadays is about battle or dissing? Do you think Kendrick cares about battle? Like I said evolve from your mentality of hardcore rap and embrace the new age. A rapper can diss and spit sh*t all he or she wants but if fans won't remember him or her 10, 20 years from now then what's the use? The reason we remember PAC, Biggie is not because of battling or dissing but the sheer amount of success they had. If you're not mainstream, you're garbage, it's sad but it's the truth!

Ryocaj:
U still don't get it.. u r going out of context.. as in Qua Rap.. Rap as it self.. Punchlines, Metaphors, Wordplay, Rhyming, Story telling, pettiness, lyricism.. that's rap.. u selling albums, being successful, being rich.. is another thing.. U having all that doesn't make u the best rapper.. Drake is d most successful rapper of d decade n he isn't d best.. being d best n being very successful are two different things.. The best student in class doesn't most times turn out 2 b d richest n most successful.. We are talking rap in its real self..

Rap has gone beyond what you're describing, in fact you're describing a lyricists(Hardcore rap) more than mainstream rap(New Age). In any profession you are judged by the impact you make, this means sales, fan base and message. You mentioned drake is successful but not one of the best of the last decade. Can you name the top 3 rapper of the decade without them being successful? Kendrick, Kanye, Future and even Chance the Rapper? Success and fame determines who's the best, you can be spitting fire but if no one knows your a** you ain't sh*t!

Ryocaj:
Then u definitely don't know Rap.. The only Nigerian rapper that can freestyle for hours (only Chinko Ekun n Yung6ix came close), he has d best n deepest lyrics alongside Mode9.. Most ppl criticising Vector are those who find it hard 2 decipher his lines or can't task their brains.. If u ask ppl saying Judas The Rat is trash 2 analyse d diss, u will find out they practically didn't understand d lyrics n couldn't make meaning of it.. Judas The Rat is d best diss track I have heard since Pusha T's ...

Biggest or hardest lyrics does not make you the better rapper. Success is a better factor, how well do you resonate with fans? How many albums/songs have you sold? How many shows have you performed? There's a reason Eminem, Nas, Jigga, Pac, Biggie and even Dre & 50 are referred to as legends, there are far better rappers than them but these are the cream of the crop. Mode 9 is the best lyricists but a major failure in terms of success, M.I.'s success far outweighs all other Nigerian rappers combined except for maybe Olamide(technically not a rapper).

Flogging is very effective but it must not be the default or the main form of discipline. Rewarding good behavior with treats/gifts and correcting bad ones with removal of privileges is far more effective.

If you haven't left anything out and this is truly the only thing that happened then get a DIVORCE or insist he gets help for his anger issue before you settle! He obviously has anger issues and might seriously injure you or worse the next time. All these fools telling you to go apologize and so on are mentally ill, if you apologize now believe me you'll keep apologizing forever. Your worth in the marriage is your ability to maintain the respect your husband has for you and your husband's ability to maintain yours, once either party does not respect the other then it is FINISHED! Heed my advice only if you haven't left anything out and you've not been abusive towards him in the past, heed my advice only if you are financially able to stand on your own or you have people that can support you. Finally heed my advice, if you believe it was not a mistake and he is prone to doing this again in the future!

Can someone tell how does dis improve the country's fucking Economy

Must every post be about how to improve the economy? It's Nairaland not NairaBank!

Forex is not a scam, made my first million through forex trading but let me not lie, it is brutal! The amount of effort it takes, the anxiety, the amount of trades the volatility and so on means that it is not for the faint of heart. Gone are the days of huge levarage, nowadays in order to make millions through forex you're going to have to go the slow and steady route. There are better money making ventures than forex, make sure you've researched all the alternatives before jumping into forex, it can make you a PAUPER faster than it can make you a PRINCE!

Ladycewhy:
On the other hand it has made alot of terrible people get away from punishment or even get lesser punishment. Let's not forget this burden of proof has also sent many innocent people to jail . It cuts both ways.

Yes that's why we have to ask ourselves do we want to live in a world without it or a world with it? Would you rather be guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty? If I came up to you now and shouted kidnapper kidnapper and you were arrested, should you be in jail till you can prove your innocence or innocent until I can prove your guilt?

Ladycewhy:
That is the issue with the law all over the world. The burden of proof has been the bane of justice.

True, it's almost as if the law was designed to protect inncocent people until proven guilty

Ladycewhy:
Being indifferent in the face of injustice makes you just as guilty as the perpetrator. He can not tell me he was not aware of his wife's demeanor towards the maid.

Unless you can prove that she maltreated the maid outside of the incident witnessed on the video and in the presence of the man then I don't see how he could be charged with anything besides child labor.

Came4amod:
I came late to this post but I am must say this .. I see some nairaland gurus making an argument about male or female on this very sensitive thread . It shows how shallow these nairaland legends are you all know yourself. . Major issue is how to get that woman arrested before she kills that poor girl ... you are arguing who is at fault trying to blame someone for the woman's cruelty toward the girl abi ?? Is that not it .. I am really disappointed..

Okay after you get her arrested then what? Are you going to take care of the child? This problem goes beyond getting the woman arrested, extreme poverty, displaced families and so many issues are at play here. Even the orphange and other shelter are in ruins due to the terrible condition of this country. Punishment should not be the top priority but rehabilitation, getting that child away from her without preparing for what comes next might leave the child asking you, "WHO SEND YOU?".

President dnt make law. the US congress hav been more in the hands on republican in the last 30 years

Presidents do make laws, they are called executive orders and in the last 30 years, Congress has been split 53% Republicans, 47% Democrats, so where's the advantage?

Gerrard59:
Actually, I have a soft spot for the GOP, so I'm surprised you believe I despise the party as most blacks do. What I did was to ask questions based on what I've read as I don't have a full information regarding the entire American political system. Regarding Reagan's policy, a similar system should be instituted this century.

Ok fair enough.

Gerrard59:
Thanks for your points.

Nigerian Americans who support the Democrats accuse folks like you of being unappreciative of the party's support for minorities and a liberal immigration system that aides your arrival in the first place. They say folks like you and others are ungrateful yet don't support the party's policies on homosexuality, abortion, transgender rights, higher taxes etc. Such accusations were labelled on British Nigerians who voted for the Conservatives during the recent UK elections. I must say that these accusations are laced with emotions but seem right even though you and others have the prerogative to support whichever party you desire.

I believe in the long run, one of the ways the GOP can win back blacks is to have more logical black politicians/analysts (not someone like Candace) out there (John James of Michigan and Larry Elder are good examples) and if need be, attract new black immigrants using the evangelicals. Another way is to institute a skilled immigration system like the Japanese or Canadians. I really do believe this will sway more minorities to the GOP. While these are done, the rabid racists in the party should be silenced.

I'm not even going to waste my time showing you the many errors of your write up but let's focus on this:

I must say that these accusations are laced with emotions but seem right even though you and others have the prerogative to support whichever party you desire.

What makes them seem right? Can you name two good legislations passed by the democrats that specifically improves the lives of the Black community in the last 30 years? Even when we had a black president, blacks were being killed left and right, the ghetto was still the ghetto. Billions sent to foreign nations but to allocate billions for black neighborhood and black schools Obama seemed to lose his balls.

People like me were never helped by the liberals or Democrats, don't get it twisted. My father came to this country in the early 80s, the first amnesty was issued by Reagan a Republican that single act helped more immigrants than any other act in the last 30 years. Speaking of immigrants, name a president that deported more people than Obama in the last 30 years? I'm waiting!

Gerrard59:
Good points by the author which still resonates till date. But you na real Republican supporter oh. How do AAs which are overwhelmingly liberals see folks like you and other black Africans who support the GOP? What do they think/say? Are you active on Twitter? If yes, do you get to view the occasional fight between "Nigerian Democrats and Republicans"?

I don't do Twitter, people there are worse than Nairaland. You know how the world is nowadays, people love sheep and sheep mentality. Blacks in America see people like me who don't beluieve government should pay for everything in your life or control everything in it as the ENEMY! Blacks in America love free things, they love the food stamps, the breadcrumbs not knowing it is systematically designed to keep them inferior. FYI, I'm not a real Republican supporter, I just wanted payback for Obama's failures, I voted for Obama twice before my eyes cleared

Gerrard59:
Well, from my little research, it afforded blacks the opportunity to change jobs and start businesses due to the reforms by Roosevelt. Basically, that's the summary and it pivoted blacks to the Democratic party.

I like discussing history especially American history, it is important to look beyond words when discussing such things and focus on the result. You're right in a way, the New Deal was the start of false promises and using the black community as a tool during elections, it certainly shaped the way the Democrats operate nowadays. Visit the link below and see just how much the New Deal helped Blacks....LMAO!
