I was going to commend you after the like, then this popped up and made your thread laclick!

Rubbish Nigeria will break up into over 250 nations and risk being overrun by even monkeys.

250 nations is far too small. My own very extended family of less than 500 members must split into its own country because we have a different affinity to that of the family next door.

Davenro:
Thanks am grateful

You are welcome. And please don't despair. If you invest in your future now, you will most likely reap future rewards.

Africans do experience racism in Europe, but most of them just choose to overlook it because they have nowhere else to go, and they certainly don't want to come back to Africa.

I am afraid that having knowledge of racism in Europe in the 50s-60s, and witnessed it from the 70s, those Africans experiencing racism today should be glad at the battles we fought for them to be enjoying the little racism they experience today.

Samantha125:
And also that Nigerian girl who became the first black Miss Universe Ireland... Irish people were busy roasting her online for being a black Miss Universe Ireland... A lot of those Irish ladies were even denying her as their representative, they said she was a fake.

She couldn't have been Miss Universe Ireland in the 90s, so we must have come along far.

Sharpsharp00123:
u would have given him feasible advice like working n saving for anything

Right now learning a skill or going to school is not feasible cos he needs money every day

He has money everyday already, or his thread would not be about his future, which it is, but about what he would eat now, which it isn't.

Regardless, I have given him the advice I want to give him, and he is under no obligation to take it. Please give him your advice so he has more options. Thanks.

Sharpsharp00123:
ask yourself

What is d possibility of going to school for someone who doesn't know where his next meal will come from n he doesn't have sponsor?

I do not need to ask such a silly question since I never knew where my next meal would come from and had no sponsor and still got an education.

Point is he's 30 now, and has no education nor skill nor job, so what do you think it will be like for him when he is 50 if he does not make the necessary sacrifices now?

Sharpsharp00123:
so he will take stone to school or u will sponsor him?

The way many of u talk self, one will b forced to ask of you people's age

Yes, actually he will take stone to school because I will not sponsor him and if he truly desires that education, he better start with stones now. Though a better option is he learn a skill and use money he earns to pay for his schooling if he would.

How old are you, by the way? Since you brought it up.

Samantha125:
I mean already black people have been complaining about racism across Europe.

But not as much as they used to complain since there's relatively much less racism these days.

In my lifetime alone, "no dogs no blacks no Irish", was not uncommon in job and room vacancy adverts in newspapers, but they are illegal now. And if you call someone the n-word in UK today and have evidence they did, you'd likely be in the money and that person in jail.

If there was as much racism as you think, Nigerians and most Africans will japa elsewhere, I'd think.

The Biden administration on Friday issued sweeping extensions of deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of people from Sudan, Ukraine and Venezuela in a move that makes it almost impossible for President-elect Donald J. Trump to swiftly strip the benefit when he takes office,” the New York Times reports.

“The extension of Temporary Protected Status, as the program is called, allows the immigrants to remain in the country with work permits and a shield from deportation for another 18 months from the expiration of their current protection in the spring.”

And I bet Biden ain't done yet.

BrotherJapa:
Madam, Is this the creole or patua verson of the Bible. I doff my hat in respect and sincerely appoogize for my display of indiscretion.

Its from the Hawaiin Pidgin version.
https://www.bible.com/bible/76/GEN.1.HPB

Your apology is accepted.

Samantha125:
I was just using it as an example... And again it's like you keep forgetting that there are Africans across Europe, especially Nigerians... Don't think that Europeans are not watching videos like this one of a lecturer cutting off her student's hair, because they do watch them.

So, an European lecturer in Europe will cut off an African's hair because they watched an African cut off an African's hair?

I guess they'd quickly find they are not subject to Africa's laws if they dared.

BrotherJapa:
Ok, I hear you madam Budaa-rectum.

By your words are you known.

helinues:
So in M.I you are no longer an Obidients?

I am not an anything. Its just that ignorant people think one must be a something that one supports.

When I quote from the Bible some think I'm a Christian. When I quote from the Quran they think I'm a Muslim, and when I quote "to be or not to be" some must think I am Shakespeare.

Personally, I'd say I'm a Deng Xiaopingnian for whom "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice".

Paul described me perfectly with the below (with apologies at how shady it must make Paul and I seem).

Kobojunkie:
To me, it is simply nonsense!

It is simply nonsense, and will be more greater nonsense when BYD starts selling electric cars in Nigeria.

Better would be money spent on building electricity.

helinues:
How did you find yourself in the Obidients camp self? Those are your group members oo

First, no one is my "group members", and anyone who thinks people are my group members is failing to see me for the individual that I am because they themselves are blind fuqs.

I did not want a continuation of APC after their 8 years. A new party in power would have had to spend time seeking where to loot, which would have slowed down the looting, and they might have probed Buhari which his own party is unlikely to do.

Samantha125:
I'm a Naija girl...

So, why the South Africa, where the problems faced are very different to those we face in Naija? Do you live there perhaps?

BrotherJapa:
Who is going to pay me for the time spent watching the fruits or you think my hours are for free?

You do make me laugh!

If you consider the cost of not bothering to look for beauty past the surface and not spending the time watching the fruits, you'd understand its worth it.

In fact, if you'd spent time watching the fruits, your monicker would likely have been brotherstayin9ja and not what it is.

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It wouldn't be nonsense if they were saying this in the year 2000, or 2010 even, but one has to agree that its better sense than never despite the shame of it.

BrotherJapa:
Tell me how you see the mind to conclude it is beautiful?

You watch its fruits. For A beautiful mind cannot bear bad fruit, and an ugly mind cannot bear good fruit.

Incidentally, this is very important when considering whom to elect as leaders.

If Nigerian Police could operate in the United States of America, that lying Trump would be in jail.

Samantha125:
Okay.

Are you South African?

You must have been born post 2010, and don't know you just turn the vinyl anticlockwise to rewind, or lift up the needle and place it somewhere further back from the centre.

Samantha125:
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.

Britain is generating IGR from passers through and those who otherwise entered free.

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?

helinues:
The reverend father's and the Nuns, how have they been able to totally abstain from sex?

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".

helinues:
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.

helinues:
Did you know that the LGBTQ started from the church most especially the Catholic , knew that before Mel's revelation though

No, I didn't know "LGBTQ started from the church most especially the Catholic", because I generally do not know things that are untrue and that evidence and facts don't support.

A lone child with no single male in the family ( extended)... Guy just stop

Male in extended family, not being a son of the deceased, does not trump a single daughter burying her father.

helinues:
The two religion are not tolerant.. They always get aggressive whenever their faith is being questioned

Shows how stupid both their adherents are.

Hopefully, now the atheists are attacking them, their enemies enemies might become friends, though I'm glad they lack the intelligence for that.
