From statistics the exponent of a guy is either in jail ,been in jail or on parole.
He is more likely to be on the Down Low
He is most likely an illegitimate product of an unwed mother
most likely has a kid or kids out of wedlock
more likely not to know his father
most likely a man riddled with poor self image
more likely he was brought up under govt assistance in rough neighbourhoods
let's keep him on nairaland ma people
if we do,he's less likely to break into some white people's house,rape their daughters and steal their jewelry and pawn them at leroy's pawn shop.

blah blah blah


At least I help out homeless people and at least they can find someplace to clean up with RUNNING WATER AND A WORKING SEWAGE SYSTEM.

I bet you can explain in GREAT DETAIL the smell of shit and piss that common beneath your feet.

Now I'm about to SHUT IT DOWN!!!!


American Blacks

Nigeria

American Blacks on average lives and eats off of $29,000 MORE kibbles and bits than Nigerians.


No wonder ya'll lined up at Elke Cresent in droves.

DUH!

blacks accounted for 18,121 aids cases


is NOTHING compared to

3.5 MILLION IN NIGERIA!

and ya'll probably lying about that. Everybody knows ya'll lie about any and everything. It's probably much higher.

From the CIA factbook

clean up your own yard before you attack another.

Like the spoilt one said!! we already know our problems
Nairaland is a living witness of that , but you're in denial of an overtly known AA's problems

No I'm not.

I came in here to DEFEND what was said on the first page about AA's. As you know, the best defense is an offense.

No offense.

Of course we AA have some SERIOUS issues. Too numerous to name.

But I can tell you this.

With a STROKE OF A PEN this government can remedy them ALL.

America likes a underclass, no matter who they are. Black, mexican, puerto rican, pakistani, chinese, latino, etc.

It's who she is. Americans LIVE to compare themselves to others and get a false sense of superiority.

This behavior has been passed down onto AA's, Africans, African Immigrants, etc.

Americans in reality are a bunch of sick, fearful, bitches living on psycotrophic drugs.

Don't believe the hype.

Non of our questions were answered

Well romeo, I don't think you want us to ask questions about Nigeria.

Shut Up spoilt.

You love us.

Admit it.

at the end of the day WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU.

At least we FEED our own.

We stick together and get stuff done. Most of ya'll can't go home. Your government don't have any use for you.


Besides, ya'll got shit in ya'll streets.

Ugly ass mofo's - with them big ass heads.

rubbish!

After you die, you just DEAD.

No heaven, no hell, just a slow reformation into earth.

PROVE otherwise.

Stop believing bullshit. You happiness is NOW!

[s] EXPONENT you could never be of the middle class in Nigeria or anywhere else. Here, with all the difficulties we face, we get an education. We have 2, 3 degrees. We get married and have children. We get jobs and struggle to put food on the table for our families. We save and deprive our selves to be able to afford the best we can for our children, like a good education, good clothes and nice holidays. By the way, we used to be the middle class. Long, long ago when we were the pride of black people everywhere. Now we are part of the teeming mass of Nigerians struggling to make a decent living in the face of hardship and bitter realisations of how it could have been. But no-one has ever handed anything on a platter of gold to the average Nigerian. My grandfather picked mangoes to sell to put himself through secondary school. He retired a respected physician. No-one gave him anything free.
I know a lot of AA. Some who came to Nigeria, acting like Gods who had come down from Olympus to behold the poor mortals. I visited America, looked them up and saw where they really came from. I may live in a third world country but I would be ashamed to live like that, in those conditions. You would rather be a homeless bum in America than live in the middle class in Nigeria, indeed. You would never fit in, dear. You need to have a proper education for starters. Speak proper English. Have a decent hair cut and dress like a responsible person. Hold down a JOB. Respect elders. And not have 7 children littered all over your neighbourhood.
Your lazy ass wouldn't last one day in Nigeria, where there is no welfare to mooch off.
So until you actually have a country, not live, by default or accident of slave birth, in one where you are barely tolerated, you are hardly qualified to criticise.
I apologise to my AA friends for this rant. Never meant to insult anyone.[/s]
@ Ms. Lurker,  I'm sure most here appreciate your matured and good-natured replies. You are one classy lady.

So whose fault is it that your country went RETROGRADE?

You just penned that your country is BACKWARDS.

Nigerians are corrupt. Ya'll want the best things in life but don’t believe in working hard to get it.  Ya'll believe in short cuts – bribing and cheating and rigging your way through school, jobs, etc.

Who you foolin?

NOBODY WANTS TO BE YOU.

You don't even look physically pleasing. 

PFFFFFFFT!










AND I suggest you read African American history books before you say WE DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY.

We BUILT this country!

Besides, you live in a Black country and it does not love you.  Nigeria is incapable of reciprical love.  It's 150Million of ya'll with a GDP of 200Billion.

In America its 34 Million Black Americans with a GDP of 800+ BILLION.

Kick Rocks!

When you get through bumping your gums.

I'd rather be a BROKE HOMELESS BUM in Amerikka than a middle classer in Nigeria.

The two are essentially economically equal.

Chavez is right!

Amerikka want that oil. The same way all that corruption is going on in Nigeria - its not happening in Venezuela because Chavez is not having it.

They don't want to be a colony of the rich white folks.

smart man.

dude you sound like  retard. So ebcause we don't jump on the welfare bandwagon and populate your prisions we're trying to be like white people? Lmao this is why you guys are lagging behind. If you actually took the same energy you use in hating the evil white man and put it towards being successful and NOT CARING so much about what the "white man" thinks, maybe the black community wouldnt have so many problems

Btw, Bill Cosby isnt white from what I know and he also criticized the black american community for the SAME issues that we are mentioning now, did the black community not yell that he was being a "traito" for telling you lunatics the bloody truth? or  Is he too a "wannabe white Nigerian"?

De-load, calm the Bleep down.


Prison is BIG BUSINESS in Amerikka.  Search American prison complex and see where they are located.  They NEED population.

Amerikka have no use for the Black man anylonger, thus they created prisons to develop rural areas and give white country bumpkins work.

Oh and welfare?

Is it still here?

Shit, if Amerikka is giving it out - I wouldn't turn it down.  Are you fucking crazy?  Shit it can pay my car note.

do Nigeria have welfare? Or are the Corrupt Elite busy taking food out of poor children's mouths and giggling all the way to the bank?

Stop arguing with me - you sound FOOLISH.

SUP romeo, you know, some of ya'll are COOL as hell.


Yet most are rather primitive like.

do we owe you anything?

YES

Nigerians need to acknowledge that they are here in the USA standing on the shoulders of African Americans. It was us that tore down this racist, jim crow system. It was us that died to get you here. (WE CHALLENGE THE RACIST IMMIGRATION LAWS). It was us that endured lynchings, church bombings, etc for the rights to VOTE, attend decent schools etc.

INSTEAD what we get is a bunch of "sell-out money hungry nigerians" that arrogantly come here and have the termidity to look down on our poor.

To us you look FOOLISH.

AA are not trying to BE like the white man. We've been with this motherfucker since birth. YOU people are desperately trying to BE LIKE THE WHITEMAN and will sell your soul to be in his company.

Bleep THE WHITE MAN. All he can do for us is sign our check. We got our own life.

So if you see us here ON YOUR BOARD we are trying to understand YOU!

Its the Nigerians we don't get along with - not any other African Country.

Thus, we research your history and DO NOT SEE THE REASON FOR ALL THE BULLSHIT ARROGANCE, FALSE PRIDE, PUFFED UP, CONCEITED AND CONDESCENDING BEHAVIOR.

It's called FALSE FLAGGING - we did that shit in the 70's.

Conclusion or Thesis: Nigeria is a dying Country

[s]WTF do you mean by that? It is a million times better to be an African than being a "black American" Mr. man!! African immigrants are better than you guys in your own country and with even a better shot at the white house. He was not an African American when he started campaining for the presidency, but now he's an African American and not an African immigrant.

And who told you we need a place where the homeless and hungry ones can eat? we are not that lazy like you people except countries where there are wars.

Are Continental Africans in America hungry and homeless? They are not because they get educated and work very hard to live a better life in a nation of opportunities, quite unlike their American brothers and sisters.

With all those things they put on their teeth they look like killed goats in a funeral [/s]

There are 34 MILLION Black Americans in the U.S.

The few African Immigrants that "are blessed" to reach these shores do well BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO!!!!

Most drive cabs, though.

Don't get it twisted. The ones that do succeed here were already middle-class citizens in their own countries.

DON'T COMPARE GLOBE-TROTTERS TO NON-GLOBE-TROTTERS. Comparing an educated African to a Black criminal deliquent in the U.S. is FOOLISH.

COMPARE that African to a Black American of his ILK!

besides, when you get through, you still have the stigma of language and primitiveness to overcome. Not to mention those ROUGH looks.

That being said, I love being BLACK. I love living in America, and at the same time can't stand this bitch. YET, I WILL NEVER GO LIVE IN NIGERIA!

What do Nigeria got to offer?

What do Nigerians got to be PROUD of?

Oh, I forgot, 419, but those days are over and YOUR countries reputation is irreparable.

Having fun?

Why are africans always portrayed on t.v. starving, with flies on their faces and raw sewage every where?

Not funny is it?

So stop playing these silly ass games. The MEDIA portray us both negatively.


One thing WE ALL can agree on, It's better to be a Black American than an African.

shit, ya'll don't even have sidewalks, mass transportation, or a food-pantry where the homeless and hungry can get feed.

Blame YOUR thieving leaders.

Almondjoy


Where did you get the IDEA that Black American are in a sinking boat?

We have NEVER been in a sinking boat.

Even During slavery.

It sound like YOUR MIND have given up.

If your spirit is dying, reach out.

BE YOU, DO YOU.

Whatever that is.

People lose their identity because they never had one or are ashamed of the one they got.

most africans won't open their mouths - in fear that they maybe found out. Define your culture and hob nob in it.

too bad most think YT is god.

^^^^^

I agree. Yet, don't get it twisted - It was Western Media (white people) that portrayed Africans as backwards, running through the jungle naked, disease infested, etc.

This made AA grateful they weren't in Africa.

Educated Africans - on the other hand - looked down on certain African Americans as being lazy, welfare receipients and crimminals.

So you see WE HAVE portrayal issues.

AA look at the bad in Africans and Africans look down at the poor black in America.

Keep in mind America have only 39M AA. and Africa have 750Million Africans.

******************************************************


Personally, I see African Americans getting along with Kenyans, South Africans, Ghanians and other Nations that are ACTIVELY seeking to invite us to the boosum of their country.


Countries that don't - gets no love from African Americans.

****crickets*********


Thanks, if ya'll don't "give no Bleep"  why should we?

BTW:  we fought for ours and are now fighting for a Black President (in a white racist land).

What can Black Americans do to help Nigeria, Nigerians both at home and in the Diasporia?

Lets face it. As a people we do not get along. (for whatever reason, REAL AND UNREAL). However, we DO share a common bond - Black Skin.

Try to keep out the Black American v. Nigerian theme or even the Nigerian v. Nigerian theme.

More importantly, as people of color "WE ALL WE GOT"

Understand this, Black Americans are NOT selfish people. Maybe misguided - via Western Media - but selfish as a whole we are not.

That being said, what can Black Americans do to help Nigeria and Nigerians?

What says you?

You know, the Nigerian Military looted the hell out of Liberia on its way out.

They STAYED EMPLOYED when everybody else wasn't.

After the WW1 the jews didn't miss a beat. They were the doctors, lawyers, jewelers, bankers etc.

They Owned over half of Germany.

The Germans didn't like that. keep in mind just over 100 years prior they were living in Ghettos.

Then they prospered as a hellish rate.


So Basically, jealousy and hatred. Also a jew wrote the Treatise of Versailles (sp) which further plunged German in dept because Germany had to pay all the countries they invaded.

They never forgot and got powerful and DOMINATED.

However, Germany overplayed their hand to their downfall.

Not only will it dumb you down - but it doesn't tell the truth about the world.

T.V. is geared towards perserving the elite. It will RARELY tell truths and then only half-truths.
