This is the truth. It's the sad but bitter truth. I believe in Self Love and all that but the fact is that the African Society is not something to be proud of. Imagine a situation where a statesman has the temerity to come to the public and say that a Snake swallowed monetary funds.

It goes to show you how lowly the citizens and individuals are rated. I Love that I'm black but the fact remains that Africa or rather at least Nigeria (where I have personal experience) is only good to be celebrated from afar and not within.

Will you also tell the white man "this is true" when he calls you or any of your loved ones a monkey? You guys are missing the point. The dude I quoted had every reason to be mad at Africa. His position was right and perfect. But his post called us monkeys/animals. That's a tag that every reasonable person should reject outrightly. That we are in the abroad today does not make us less African and if we're not monkeys or animals, I think it's unjust for him to call us animals. Feel free to point out all my flaws as an African but I'm not going to be tagged an animal for any reason whatsoever. That's derogatory and I'll be surprised if you don't see it that way

Kaycee54321:
Truth in its raw, undiluted and purest form. It's easy to 'speak positively' when you're not directly affected by the events in this joke of a Country.

If someone calls you a monkey/animal and you contest it, and the person comes back to tell you it's self denial then he's actually insisting you're a monkey but just denying it. Africa is not such a great continent. We all want to run away. All true. But I refuse to be tagged animal or monkey metaphorically or otherwise. That's derogatory and unacceptable.

If a guy talks about his women, he's a guy man. If a lady talks about her man, she's a hoe. Case closed.

DexterousOne:
Let me ask you a question


Is there a polite way to tell a man whose mother is mad, that the mother is mad?

It's no news that Africans conduct themselves LIKE ANIMALS
It's clear for all to see, and it is at the core of why the world sees us as an inferior joke, even tho they are too polite to say it

Now that trump and his cohorts are in WH
You can see clearly what they really think of us.


It is okay to say that YOU are not an animal.
Those who conduct themselves like animals most likely won t qualify for EE in the first place
We are the statistical outliers

But that does not change the fact that MOST Africans conduct themselves no different from animals

It is not self hatred
It is not internalized racism or whatever

It's the truth

I don't wish to proceed any further. Let's just say your Africa is not mine because the Africa you know is the people around you. My own Africa does not consist of animals/monkeys. They are doctors, engineers, programmers, lawyers, teachers, etc. They are loving mothers and fathers. They are people that have and acknowledge their limitations but also have great potentials. They refuse to identify as animals even with their shortcomings. They have travelled far and wide and they know that all human races have their own limitations; some are just better off than others. They are full of life and hope and they will not see themselves through the eyes of others. They will not let the activities of some define the entire continent. The Western world is competing to have them in their countries. They are my Africa.

No nation ever made it in history by calling themselves names. None.

DexterousOne:
You cannot compare how humans conduct themselves with animals
It's not just possible

Black man will always conduct himself like black man (resisting the urge to use the word monkey) especially in Nigeria

Election there was smooth

Why are you still resisting the the urge to use the word 'monkey' when the bolded statement above has contextually done justice to your line of thought?

I appreciate the fact that we blacks have a long way to go and we don't seem to even be in the right direction but we must desist from this attitude of self defamation. It is internalised racism and that is a terrible complex. We're not where we want to be, referring to ourselves (yourself inclusive) as animals will not, in any way, take us there. I am not an animal, I am an African and I'm sure the Canadian government knows that, that's why they granted me permanent residence in their country.

She's a Nigerian, oga.

There was a time walking was your biggest challenges in life; today you run. There was a time talking was impossible for you; today you probably speak more than a language. The mountain you see today, you shall not see tomorrow. If you have nothing to live for, live for mummy. Good luck.

When the man cheats, we say it's because the woman is not taking care of him well. When the women react, we say they're too jealous. Lol

The woman better not think of cheating cause we'd send their cheating ass back to her father.

Society.

Suen call your illiterate mods to caution!
This is clearly an edited video or poor working camera, this is very common but your foolish mods will push anything push able.
If the video were real we'd see the time frame.

Can't you make this point without all these insults? They make you come off as vile. Just saying...

Lmao... smh

Ola17:
What kind of ‘agricultural show’ requires taking a LION out of its enclosure?! Abi lion don turn agricultural product or equipment ni

Are you a student of Agricultural science? You can't know yours and tell others how to do theirs. What you don't know, you don't know. Yes, wild animals are used in agric studies for many purposes including livestock protection techniques.

Chioma: Ch..ioma..come on..chioma

Baby: Ch...Ch...CHEEEEEE! SHEKPE!!

I don't know what shekpe means but this cracked me up!

The stuff in the first picture doesn't look like a baby. Looks more like a native doctor's staff.

I'm sure it's the camera angle.
..

Y'all use other people's tragedy to score religious points. Sad.

As she fine reach na police work she see do

No matter what she does, you people will still talk!

Annie939:
it doesn't matter i can't like everybody and everyone won't like me too lets stop all this hypocrites

Nobody is asking you to like her. You don't go around calling people ugly because "you don't like their body structures". If you don't like her because of the way she was created, fine. That does not make her ugly. If you don't have something good to say about people you meet, don't say anything.

See as peeps are hailing him above. Imagine if it was a female that said this; Olosho! Shameless! Lose! Etc...

hmmmmmmmm this lady ugly i don see celeb wey i fine pass well well

Coming from a lady... shameful.

U won't see them put on suit uphold their culture and still have better economy ..



Do you know in Saudi Arabia ..if are a level 16 as a cleaner and level 16 as a lecturer ur salary is the same..or even medical docter..u earn same salary..
And there ranking is not by certificate.

True but on a closer look, it's still by certificate. The number of years it'll take a cleaner to get to that level 16 is not same for doctors or lecturers.

Awwwn... why was the dog bleeding?

She's just two years old and you want to expose her to male dogs?

ChiefVal:
Small thing. Just vaccinations and pet passport. At least no IELTS

@ChiefVal, did I not say it? They'll have to prove their eligibility too.

Samantha23:
Omo he be like say dis drama wen dey happen for aso rock go sweet pass bring brother naija

Bring brother, take brother

Thermodynamics:
" Proof of links with Nigeria (eg, Job letter, proof of business or assets, etc.)"

What is that one?
so who nor get job of business or assets nor fit travel to Canada again ni.
What of those that are going for masters or undergraduate program.
They are just looking for people who are willing to come back to Nigeria.

Calm down bro, those requirements are just for tourist/visit visa. If you claim you are just visiting, you must prove you'll return to Nigeria afterwards. If you're jobless and have nothing, you wouldn't be asking for tourist visa, would you? Study visa category is different. In the case of study visa, you wouldn't need to show employment letters but then its requirements are even far more complex than this.

But he didn't mind his business himself. He went ahead to discuss the issue even to the extent of taking sides so which one is mind your business again?

ChiefVal:
Hello all. Please does anybody have any experience in going to Canada with their pet. Maybe sending the pet later or going with the pet as you travelled. Please share the experience.
Thanks

Seniors, please answer. I'm interested in this. Is there a language test or certificate required of the pet?

She said "dreamt", OP said "claimed". Who is the stu.pid fellow here? Everyone has the right to fantasise. The guys calling her names here have all slept with Rihanna in their heads. Hypocrites!
