Sometimes this thing is in ones mind.... using tesco as an example. Yes there profiling sure and some blacks feel more targetted in police stop and search.

But the same tesco security is also following whites and other people in the store......so why are you offended. Isnt that what he paid to do. It is his job...... If he follows you and your hands are clean no problem he follows the next target. In a town where no black then his observation moves to the next person that fits a profile within let say the white community.....
frankly he just doing his job.

At all ooh I thought it was only me. But my madam noticed the same thing here were we live. Also during the black lives matter there was a small protest gathering here in Plymouth. And when people spoke of indiscriminate racist incidents like being followed by security guardsI knew I was not mad and not the only one.
Yes the tesco thing is only one security guard I notice does it. I'm not out here looking for trouble I just do my thing jeje pay leave but I observe it is only one security guard that does it.
I've been travelling to UK for holidays from my undergraduate days in naija and I'm always in London etc I do not feel uncomfortable.
Like sometimes the neighbours would peep and see what we doing it is funny from the curtain. Cos you know Africans can be loud and when I walk my children back from school we laugh sometimes I chase them on our street we just Jovial. I do try and integrate some people lovely.

Like I said it's just that this place is not very multicultural. I have made a few oyibo and Asian friends but I do notice the stare sometimes.

Anyway by God's grace sept next year after my masters hopefully we move to somewhere more multicultural.

Thank you.

lol what do you mean by oyibo just dey look you funny?

Not many black people here like that! When I used to take my kids to the park 90% of the times we the only black family or swimming they just stare. Its just weird. Went to the surgery for flu jab they try and create small chat where you from, isn't it dangerous where you come from will you go back.. May be it's me. Or security following you around in tesco. used to it now. Sha no one has officially been racist to me. Its just the stares.

But when I visit family in London or my paddy in bristol I don't feel uncomfortable.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you secure a graduate scheme job for September 2021from now and what's your specialization!

Good morning,

Msc International procurement and supply chain management. I've been applying for graduate schemes so to start from Sept 2021. Most graduate schemes open like a year before hand so like from Sept 2020- Oct 2020 you apply to start the following year.

Just apply to as much as possible I was told by my career dept. I applied for loads all those their numerical test, verbal reasoning I won't lie hard me small.

Thank you

Good afternoon House,

My fellow people in Manchester please I need your help.

So I recently got a Graduate scheme job to start Sept 2021 in Manchester, Currently finishing my masters at Plymouth University. Although it is next year I want to start the ground work. I need nice areas that are reasonable prices for a 3bed house also good Primary school I have a 4yr old who is in reception and a 2yr old who will be going to nursery. My 4yr old actually goes to a good catholic primary school here in Plymouth. Manchester seems lively, Ive been there once but for a night out with my friend about 6years ago on a holiday. From my small research it looks like a place with loads of Jobs compared to Plymouth where I am and If we move hopefully that is where we settle as a family. (so the Job they have two offices one in eccles and another in the Northern quarter, I might work between both)

Also please I need links for a good barber in Manchester and are there like good african shops, naija restaurant links and places where my madam can make her hair. Cos this Plymouth where I am currently based is a dead zones(came here because the Master degree was decently cheaper), oyibo sometimes just dey look you funny. African shop just one and their prices are ridiculous 5kg bag of rice they sell £7.50... Sha demand and supply. Whenever we have chance we go to london to visit wife's family.

Thank you for your input looking forward to hearing from you guys.
