Are you seeing what I have been saying about these people? They have the same sentiment as black Americans but these guys are just worse.

They are lazy, racists, and animals. They blame everyone else for their laziness.
Not many see that creating you from mud and depriving you of fruits of knowledge and placing you naked to toil in a garden, is slavery, and it has generational consequences.

Education was segregated by the 1953 Bantu Education Act, which crafted a separate system of education for black South African students and was designed to prepare black people for lives as a labouring class.[117] In 1959 separate universities were created for black, Coloured and Indian people. Existing universities were not permitted to enroll new black students. The Afrikaans Medium Decree of 1974 required the use of Afrikaans and English on an equal basis in high schools outside the homelands.[118]

In the 1970s, the state spent ten times more per child on the education of white children than on black children within the Bantu Education system (the education system in black schools within white South Africa).

Conservatism is racism to you.
Conservatism is not racist, basilico. There are millions of people who will call themselves conservatives and are not racist. It is your conserving of the old racist past that irks me, but I am aware you don't know your history or the effects of your ideology, so one must forgive you I suppose.

Below is your comment.

Looks like Blair really forced through acceptnce of foreigners.
The french are happy too. We can only say hip hip hooray.
If you've heard of Windrush alone you'd know mass immigration to UK is pre-Blair.

After the Second World War displaced people from Eastern Europe were brought over because of labour shortages. British workers took advantage of the situation to move out of noisy and dirty jobs in textiles. They were also reluctant to work the night shifts needed if the new machinery was to pay its way. Mill owners sent recruiters to ex-colonies like India and Pakistan.

As for France, don't you think they needed to replace their population they lost in 2 world wars?

Now, balance. Dump checked Ramaphosa in the WH, unfortunately with lies as usual, but the dearth of journal investigations into the matter is a silence that's annoying, and is almost on par with Israel not letting journalists into Gaza and the world being silent.

If some are doing the below, they must be doing it to whites too.

I continue to find it amusing when you talk about what you know nothing about and refuse to research. It's like knowledge scares you.

France has the most immigrants, at least from Africa, than any other European country. Do your research and tell me why.

Also, read up on historical mass migration to UK, and why, and then tell me why you think those migrants should now not be accepted.

And let me know if you would like to not accept them and instead promote racism in those countries.

You're saying different things, if it was about worth, you would have remained in Nigeria and earn the measly N12m na - you know how many worthy people are unemployed because there's no platform to actually provide the value that will pay them their worth?

What would be your annual salary of you were doing your current job(s) in Nigeria?

You don't use outliers to define a general population - how many companies in Nigeria can pay N1m salaries?
You assume much about me.

First, I am not and have not used outliers to define a general population. I have been here long enough to know that different different people na im de, so I don't expect everyone to be me. This thread alone shows different people buy yam at different prices for whatever reasons, and that was my intention of posting the price of yam where I live, which you are now pounding into a meal.

I, as in me and not anyone else, would not remain in Nigeria for 12m if I could earn more elsewhere, which was the case. My skills earned better pay than 12m and I went for it. Basically, I found an employer to whom I was worth more, perhaps because I did not limit myself to Nigeria. As I said, ma and I paid school fees, and she would koboko me if I had not utilised the education she bought for me. And no, I do not have a current job. I earn for myself. Payment for my skills would be the same wherever I sold them.

Nigerian companies and the government exploit labour is why Nigerians don't get paid more. 70k is slave wages, and in my own opinion, no one should accept a minimum wage of 70k unless they are the sort who sweat small for their daily bread, which will cost what it costs regardless of anyone's pay. The baker is not your friend.

Now, as I said. different different people. And that includes seeing things differently too since we are not programmed the same.

12million naira per anuum? Abeg try dey lie with facts na. You're talking about the earnings of people at Director Level.

The people at Director Level salaries in Europe is gon be way above £300K.

Nigerian pay of 12 million per anuum keh.
I am talking about people who refuse to limit themselves to minimum wage. You don't need to be a director to earn a measly ₦12m per annum. Your employer just needs to value you that much because you likely make them 10 times 12m per annum.

Stephen0mozzy:
A Nigerian Consumer made the complaint about the price on a Nigerian Forum with Nigerians under the Nigerian Economy.

The complaint is not against the farmer, but that cost of this have so skyrocketed due to the loss in value of our hallowed Naira.
That so called "loss in value of our hallowed Naira" affects the farmers too, since all their input cost have gone up. And they'll recoup that cost by charging consumers more.

Solution? Perhaps tell your employer you are worth more than ₦70k. Though, with the high unemployment rate, your employer might just easily replace you with someone else.

By the way, the "loss in value of our hallowed Naira" is due to a reduction in productivity, but that's probably beyond the scope of those complaining about the price of yam.

How did China lift their people out of poverty? Through cheap labour?
No, not through cheap labour.

China, with its convenient blood induced one party rule, has 50 year plans and 25 year plans and 10 and 5 year plans, and they do not divert from their implementation, while we change plans when we change leaders.

China also has a history that spans like 5000 years, and a lot of mistakes to learn from accumulate in that time.

That's the point. To a Nigerian, 2k for a tuber of yam is not justifiable - to make that yam a complete meal, he'll need to spend 4k at least (unless he wants to use oil).
To a Nigerian consumer, perhaps.

To the person planting the yam, 2k is not enough, considering cost of land, and fertilizer, and labour, and security, and storage, and transportation, and loan interest.

That's probably why some smarter farmers (the Ghanaians, since Nigerian yam is not available here much), export their yam where a small tuber costs £5.

Farmers don't care if you eat, is my point. They plant their crop for their own profit.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣70 % of Nigeria population don't what your talk about
I do understand. The thought of considering myself worth minimum wage of ₦70k boggles my mind. I can just about hear ma asking me if that's all I'm worth after her huge investment in me.

But I guess the schooling she bought for me was not scam, or she didn't allow it to be. She loved her koboko way too much to not use it whenever I chose to waste my school fees we struggled to work to pay.

Nigeria is the highest producer of yam in the world .
So ,please ,excuse us on this if we are pissed
I do understand why you are pissed. They pay you little and charge you a lot for your daily bread.

You wouldn't believe this, but Nigeria does not seem to produce, or at least, sell as much yam where I live as Ghana does.

We don't even plant yams in my hometown in Osun State anymore, because before you harvest it, someone will come and harvest it for themselves. And in the North of Nigeria, cattle herders have chased the farmers away completely.

I can just hope we don't start importing yam, or that yam will cost 10k plus.

But u can't make 2k in Nigeria in 4hours
On a Nigerian pay of 12 million Naira per annum, which is a million a month and ₦250k a week and ₦50k a day, and ₦6250 and hour, I bet I can make it in 20 minutes in Nigeria.

Not everyone's in Nigeria or where I live is on minimum wage after all.

That 2k is the minimum pay per day for a minimum wage worker. Make una try dey ise brain before comparing prices across widely different economies.
I don't think they ask about pay per hour before selling you stuff in the market, or you'd just send a low earner to go get it for you cheaper.

And no, I was not comparing. Just stating a fact.

Perhaps he wants to be the king of Nigeria, or we should adopt China's one party rule.

Some people don't seem to understand that those countries have a system dictated by their history. If Nigeria adopts, say, the Yoruba way of choosing our leaders, one family will rule forever.

Over at UK. Reporting a gang who bash you to police calling them Pakistania gets you arrested by metro police.
Britain is gone.
AI Overview

The claim that being called "Pakistani" by the police leads to arrest is false. While the Metropolitan Police (Met) can and does arrest individuals based on suspicion of a crime, the ethnicity of an individual is not a factor in determining whether or not an arrest should be made.

Elaboration:
The Met, like other police forces, has arrest powers based on the law.
An arrest is a lawful act, and it's based on the grounds of suspicion of a crime, not someone's ethnicity or nationality.
The idea that being referred to by a nationality is grounds for arrest is not supported by law or police procedures.
