It's not only in Nigeria, it's an African problem.

Sometimes we Africans are the ones enabling racism against ourselves because those westerners are watching and taking notes as we speak... Next thing we're going to cry racism when they start treating us the exact same way we treat each other.

That's why most of the time when I hear those black South African parents whose children attend those multiracial schools complaining about racism against their children for wearing their natural African hair, I no longer get surprised.

Like how do you expect those white teachers to react to African hair when we have plenty of black schools in this same South Africa whereby female children are not allowed to grow their hair and would be made to stay bald throughout their school years? Like we're the ones enabling racism against ourselves.
I think your argument here is way outside the scope of this thread. And the way you mention South Africa makes me presume you might be South African (confirm please), which definitely would make you view this issue from a completely different perspective than a Nigerian might.

In UK, how black people treat themselves has no bearing on the general treatment of black people, because we are mandated to be blind to race, age, sex, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, and sexual orientation by the Equality Act 2010, which influences my own perspective and view.

In Nigeria, tribalism (and genderism, if I may), is more of an issue than race.

I can't see where you gave a reason why a countries passport holder can freely travel or not.

Is it because the top countries' passport holders on the Henley Passport Index are more likely to go back home while the lower ones would stay where they travel to?

You do know that ancient Rome and ancient Greece refers to like 1000 years before Christ, right?

Whether they have or haven't abstained or not is not evidence for "LGBTQ started from the church most especially the Catholic".

Which culture is women allowed to single handedly handle a burial? Which culture in Nigeria

Family is the one making decisions for burial in Nigeria to my best of understanding, not the son or daughter of the deceased
It is not about culture. And no one is saying "single handedly".

If a father has only daughters, those daughters will, in most cultures, fund their father's burial, as extended family tend not to care so much about burying another persons dead parents.

Even if "Family is the one making decisions for burial in Nigeria", family are unlikely to be the ones funding that burial, I have found.

I was trying to report one of the troller and I noticed rule 17 was missing.

So the rule is about Islam.. Better to remove it

When it's not that the Muslim have 2 heads than others
It wasn't about Muslims having 2 heads but about the unruly behaviour of the so called Christians who predominated Nairaland and felt their Bibles told them to hate their neighbours if they are Muslims.

It is also why we must now have "lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh" stuck on our profiles if we post in the Islamic section. It keeps the mindless trolls out.

CareerRe: Am I A Failure At 30 by budaatum: 6:57pm On Jan 10, 2025
I do not agree that your "desire to go back to school is still burning within me", because if it were burning withing you you'd have gone back to school already.

And you are "thinking about learning a skill or thinking about job hunting" instead of actually learning a skill or job hunting.

You were 20 once and are 30 now, and will be 40 soon, so stop thinking and go do.

P.s. I know it's not easy, but you'd be posting the same thing when you are 50 if you don't get off your ass and put the effort in now.

That lecturer could've told her to go out and not return into her class until she put her hair in a bun or pony tail.

There's nothing wrong with a matron telling the nurse to put her hair in a bun.

Like would you have still agreed with what the lecturer did if she was white? Wouldn't you say it's racism?
The colour of the lecturer is irrelevant in Nigeria where everyone is the same black, but I do agree "that the lecturer could've told her to go out and not return into her class until she put her hair in a bun or pony tail". But this is Nigeria, where lecturers treat pupils like 3 year olds, and the 3 year old in this instance should have known better since there are rules.

Good thing you did a screenshot... It says nothing about how a nurse should be cutting her hair short... But it says it should be clean and well put either in a pony tail or a bun, exactly what I said.
The institution they attend is not asking them to cut their hair short. It has rules, and if they'd kept their hair according to those rules of their institution, they'd likely not have had it cut, is the point here.

If you arrive at work as a nurse with your hair long in a UK hospital, your matron will tell you to go bun it.

I remember a time when the word 'merit' carried weight — in schools, in corporations, even in politics. It was simple, wasn't it? The best person for the job got the job.
In Nigeria, right?

That must be the reason I got the job Seyi Tinubu wanted, and why many companies in America would hire a black person before a white person.

Merit. I'm the best person for the job.
Christianity EtcRe: Improving The Holy Books by budaatum: 11:01pm On Jan 09, 2025
It wouldn't be the first time the holy books have been improved and bad bits edited out.

The problem today is far too many people will notice, since they these days have the books in their languages which they can read themselves instead of in languages they are told are spoken only in heaven, and any changes will make the word of the gods impermanent, which will reduce the esteem placed in them. So, instead, we improve our understanding.

Some are, for instance, slowly beginning to realise that Adam was not created in God's image, and was an ignorant slave in the garden of Eden until Eve freed him.

Such people are now refusing to accept that they themselves were created from mud, since the God in who's image they now assume they were created was not created from mud.

The New Testament was published in Britain on May 17, 1881, and three days later in the United States, after 11 years of labour. Over 30,000 changes were made, of which more than 5,000 represent differences between the Greek text used for the Revised Version and that used as the basis of the King James Version. Most of the other changes were made in the interest of consistency or modernization.

My point is taking the child as his, shouldn't be a criteria, it should be he should maltreat the child. Most ladies will tell you to take the child as yours only when the time for fees and care arise but you dear not correct/ discipline the so called your child when s/he misbehave.
Like I said, it is not his child, there are certain decisions he can't take due to that, therefore they (the single mum & guy) should discuss & maintain that boundary, simple.
I did not tell him to take the child as his. I specifically told him that if he can not love the single mother with her baggage he should walk away and not stay and make her miserable.

No one, least not me, is forcing him to be with the woman he confesses to love.
