When you understand the rubbish you post here in search of a brianiac medal let me know. I will still remind you of the nonsense you posted.

NIGERIANS ARE SMART AND THEY ARE BEING CHOSEN BECAUSE OF THEIR HARDWORK AMD EFFORTS. YOU CANNOT THROW THAT AWAY BY SAYING WHITES WILL CHOOSE THEM OVER AFRICAN AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT SLAVERY WHICH THEY DO.

When you show me an article or statistics that backs up your awful take of the matter then I can take you seriously.

Right now I don't understand or comprehend what you said, you as well don't comprehend what you said. We can leave it at that

But you do not understand, you just think you do, and you intentionally lie to convince yourself that you do understand because anyone who can read can clearly see I never said nor meant "WHITES WILL CHOOSE THEM OVER AFRICAN AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT SLAVERY", but which is how you misunderstand what I wrote.

Talk to me after you've spent some money educating yourself ben, though I still expect you not to get it.

Lol, you read "implied" i hope? Read carefully and cure persistent ignorance, the Bible doesn't say the earth was created in your implied time.

Care to elaborate where I implied any time?

Will travel to DC to witness the swearing in of Trump for his second term. Summer time now, I might even drive the 10 hours to DC.

I wish I could join you at this historical never ever happening event, but I think America is on our travel ban list and even if it isn't I can't justify the 2 week quarantining on the way back.

Saying I deny racism is something I don't understand

I don't expect you to understand Institutional racism, since it is not the sort you'd notice.

GalaticHorde:
discrimination doesn't only take the form of race but racism has historically been the worst form of discrimination hence the emphasis as race is for better for worse a permanent condition that can not be changed unlike other reasons for discrimination

"No Irish no dogs no blacks" was subtle racism up to the 80s. There were no signs per se, but if you called a to let advert in UK and sounded Irish or black or you barked, expect to be told the place was already let.

One once saw the shock on a woman's face when non-sounding black me turned up at a place I was about to rent that I'd called up just 5 minutes earlier. She stuttered and blurted "the place was already gone", and shut the door in my face as I stood there dejected and stunned only for her to open the door seconds later and rather red faced told me the place was not let and could I please come in.

"The thing is", she said after making me tea, the room is inclusive of bills, but she's heard black folks need to bath everyday and need more heating which would increase her costs, but if I was willing to pay £10 more she is prepared to let me have the place. I thanked her. Told her she was to let number 27 I'd called up and 13th I'd visited to be told on arrival it had just been let, and I was so grateful she'd told me what I was up against, and for the tea, but the place "was above my budget with the increase so I could not take it", I told her. Welcome back home to London, I thought at the time as I'd completed missed UK racism in the 70s as I was dealing with accent discrimination in my own country Nigeria where for some reason my own fellow Nigerians thought my main food was butter and discriminated against me for it even though butter was not exactly on the menu in my home.

No, discrimination is not only about race, just that being minority black in majority white countries we are bound to notice discrimination due to race more. If we were Palestinian in Israel, or transgender or gay in the army, or minority Christian or Muslim where the opposite is the majority, we'd likely notice those discriminations a lot more. I hear discrimination amongst Yorubas against renting to Igbos in my very own Ago Palace Road where Igbos are even somewhat not so much a minority.

Hunter Biden is a private citizen with no immunity whatsoever. I wonder what stopped Trump's justice department from investigating and prosecuting him as a private citizen. Now if you have any proof of Joe Biden's illegal dealings with China or any other country, then let's even see a logical allegation before we even start asking of proof.

I had thought you guys would have commited suicide by now as Trump lost the election and Biden was sworn in. I wonder how you will survive the next 4 year's without a psychological melt down. I am beginning to see symptoms of melt down here now. It will progressively become worse.

I eagerly wait the rabid meltdown when Trump is finally docked for criminal charges stemming from his corporate fraud and executive crimes as president. It will be hilarious.

Wake up! drumfpt will be sworn in by the end of May or the beginning of June or July or August, or sometime in 2022 or 23 or 24! You just wait till they finish the count and find the bambo in Arizona and then shall you not see the kraken that will wipe your eagerly hilarious wait off your face for, an alternative reality I think.

currently under this dispensation people of southeastern and southsouthern origins feel they are being shortchanged in the federal civil service and they have to be close to indispensable to advance without patronage, my question to benalvino2 is that is this feeling real or imagined?

We need to recognise how silly it would to expect an average jss 1 pupil to comprehend Fourier Transform, instead of us wasting our time assuming he has the capacity or inclination to do the work to acquire the skill and ability to understand.

It is the same God.

Islam can't be the answer since it is a violent religion and does not teach its followers about love for their neighbours .

“Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good – to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess.”

opamoses1:
100 percent accurate.

Now try explaining it to ben. Perhaps he'd understand it coming from you.

benalvino2:
I am lying? I you didn't say what's on the photos below?

Nigerians are not black right? If they hear what happened to blacks in the past it should not affect them the same way because of they are not Americans or they are not black? How? Those blacks that were slaves were Ghanaians, and Nigerians etc.

This is like claiming an Hausa or Yoruba person would feel the pain an Igbo person feels about the Nigerian Civil War.

Go check in the Politics section to understand the difference in feelings, despite them all being black and Nigerians.

In fact, if you really lived in UK as you claimed you'd have found the experience and reaction of native blacks was different to immigrant yours unless your eyes were shut when you were here.

No ben, you did not say what is in the photos. You said what you understood was in the photos because you are unable to see due to the bias that blinds you from seeing what is in the photos despite numerous elaborations by others.

benalvino2:
Yes, your post imply such stupidity. Not because Nigerians are more qualified and well educated. Because they did not know about slavery, Jim Crow and other atrocity in the past which most of them do.

Numerous people have explained it to you but you insist that your own interpretation is what you've understood so I am going to leave it at that.

You have a wonderful day now.

GalaticHorde:
but you're wrong, he's actually making every point o previously made

I do not think he has the inclination to understand!

benalvino2:
Please don't try to explain a crazy post. Show me any day or article that backup what budaatum said. Don't waste my time explaining that

Seriously? That does not explain anything to you, you'd rather go on with your misunderstanding and misrepresentating?

I'm so glad I got better things to do with my time!

benalvino2:
You guys see everything as racist. Budaatum thinks teaching grandchildren about slavery is the cause why most employers will choose a Nigerian over an African American. That alone is enough to rest my case.

Why do you lie like this! Or are you just dumb?

benalvino2:
You understand it wrong.

Look,budaatum said employers tend to employer Nigerians because grandpa and grandma told their kids about slavery.

That is a very stupid thing to say. It implies that the knowledge of slavery told by the grandparents is causing employers not to employ African Americans.

Are you trying to superimpose arguments I did not make to me?

I was responding to budaatum crazy statement. Nice try

It does not imply any such stupidity, benalvino. Take responsibility for you stupid inference!

Abascoh:
Look at this antisemite, Hitler disciples. There are many Arab countries in the world yet you want Christians to support those that say they want to wipe out the only Jewish nation on earth. Nazi wannabe scum

You need Christ in your life. It might help you to not be obnoxious.

Igboid:
Osus are not oppressed.

Really? I got a guy here telling us Palestinians are not oppressed and black Americans are not oppressed and I bet if we asked him he'd say Igbos are not oppressed neither and you have to move on.

Care to help him with his floundering argument because he seems to be needing it.

Igboid:
We are working on it.
In Igboland republic, we will put last nail on the coffin of that ugly part of our history.
And mind you,Osu caste was practiced in about 1/3 of Igboland.
The largest Igbo clans of Ngwa has no Osus.
The entire Ebonyi know nothing about Osus. The Ndoki and Asa clans has no Osu caste system.
So it's more of a regional than a centralized practice.
Nevertheless, we would snuff it out in Alaigbo republic.

I should hope so, because it would be rather pointless to get rid of one oppressor only to then oppress others. It would be as if you'd stopped being like the oppressed Palestinians in Nigeria to become the oppressing Israelites in Biafra.

Personally, I just wish the Igbos could concentrate on making their region the envy of the entire Nigeria, but it is obvious that you can not be destroying Nigeria with one hand, and hope to be building Biafra with the other, which is a great pity indeed.

Igboid:
I agree fully with your last statement.
Good fences makes for good neighbors indeed!

What amuses me is the fact that once we get this Igbo land, we shall then build fences to keep Osu from Nwadiala.

Osu caste system

benalvino2:
Wow. The same home land you are accusing them of stealing
But what you just said is another nothing.

I want you to back up the bolded

Stolen with the help of others who continue to support their theft as has repeatedly been stated here with lots if supporting evidence, but which you want to now make out you've never seen said many many times over in response to yourself specifically and which you are now asking me to back up again as if regurgitating what we have provided you with in the past would make an ounce of difference to you.

Benalvino, ignore as much as you want that I have also told you many many times too that buda's time can not be wasted educating the uneducatable but do not expect buda to not remember not to waste buda's time.

Igboid:
You are obviously blind if you don't see the figures.
Lol!

I am blind.

Show me the figures to support your "Northerners ... don’t have business paying taxes a lot".

benalvino2:
Does any jew blame their shortcoming in life on Hitler or Germans like you are trying to do for African Americans?

Any Jew might not blame their shortcoming in life on Hitler or Germany because the entire world saw what happened to them, repented and made amends by bowing to their demands and giving them a homeland.

And I am absolutely certain that if the blacks in America that you mentioned stopped being subject to George Floyd treatment and other racisms that you deny they experience, they too will stop complaining about the discrimination that they experience and move on too.

That's like asking what happened to the Roman Empire, or the Aztec Empire or the Songhai Empire or the British and so on and so on.

They simply wax and wane and evolve, which is why Islam that was limited to the Arab world has now spread all over the world, just as British English has and Roman law too along with ideas from Songhai and Azteca, each solving the problems of their time in their place.

While you see regression in some individuals you might be looking at, some see progression on the larger scale of society.

It must feel bad. Especially if the money owed is a lot. So bad that some might want to consider entering the grave with the dead debtor to go get the money they are owed.

benalvino2:
Anti-semitism is not for the jews alone. Arabs are semites as well. Jews remember the holocaust but they don't blame it or cry about Germany every day. They have Moved on.

You are unbelievable! I wonder what the purpose of the holocaust memorials in many parts of the world are all about.

Satan is not ruling any world, Eni. Satan is simply ruling the hearts and minds of some who are here claiming Lord Lord instead of removing the forest from their own eyes so they may stop satan ruling themselves.

Those ruled by Christ would simply say "get thee behind me satan", and satan will depart from them.

Do you also agree with me that following God's written down laws will bring lasting solutions to this earthly problems?

Enilove, buda does not believe what buda can ask and knock and seek about with all of buda's heart and soul and mind and being so buda may instead know for absolute certainty. And what buda knows for absolute certainty is that if say one, for instance, were a Christian who followed the religion as the written down laws dictate that one should - love your neighbours, love your enemies even moreso, be a peacemaker, do not do Lord Lord, do not open threads claiming you are more righteous than others and so on and so on, Nairaland will definitely be a better place, and like a mustard seed, that better might extend further until the entire Nigeria and the whole world is completely devoid of earthly problems because those God's written down laws you mention are precisely what will bring lasting solutions to this earthly problems if we could only understand and exercise them in our relationships with others instead of saying with our mouths what we fail to practise in our very own hearts.

No grandma and grandpa alive today in United States that was a slave.
You have to move on. You want to blame racism affecting African Americans more because they heard a story that's BS and you know it.

We can only inform you. We must however know when to leave you to keep seeing what you wish to see and believe.

benalvino2:
Same system do not affect other race right? Only blacks. Other race will come and start a business even selling our local food for us but we don't have any business to empower ourselves. You keep acting like only whites and blacks are in the UK. Chinese come and do their thing. Arabs come and do their thing. Every one of them employ their kind. Make I hear word.

You must have left UK a long time ago. Nigerian restaurants and food sales is booming, and its not true its inundated by Asians as you falsely claim.

In the past there was not the patronage to make our restaurants the success it now is as our parents who worked as nurses and postmen and the likes would never go and spend £10 for amala and ẹfọ riro which they can cook for less at home, but now, their children are working as lawyers and doctors and can afford to pay 30-£50 at 805, so 805 is profitably in business.

This is nonsense. More excuses

It will be nonsense to you, just as Palestine opposing the apartheid they are forced to live under is nonsense to you. If you were old enough when we were marching against white rule in South Africa I bet that would have been nonsense to you too.

Sorry benalvino, I do not intend to be rude, but you only see it from your own myopic perspective and can not imagine what it is to walk in the shoes of those you deride, though I bet if I go through your posts I'd find similar instances closer to yourself that you would not say "nonsense" about.
