Ezeuche.

It is weird that you have shown inferiority complex, and in the process shown a form of intolerance in your comment towards whatever race the man in picture may be from. Please read your own post again.


Speaking of pride, he is proud of his job and his uniform, and the fact that he takes money home and not living on the streets. Now, that is proper pride.

The true inferiority complex is being shown through you. I would never serve a foreigner like some slave. I have way too much pride to hold some umbrella for a person who may consider me an animal.

Money is not everything. He is no different from the ashawo who spread their legs for everyone. Especially expatriates. Come to Port Harcourt and you will see how these women with loose morals act like.

Chei! We Naija guys are too much. Rather we spread love then hate. lol

ElRazur:
There is a lot of things wrong with your comments. Let me put it nice and simple. Anyone can be racist. With all due respect, you may want to look up the meaning and actions of someone who is racist.  I stand by what I said before, your post is filled with inferiority complex, and you have shown that again in the post above.

I think we are moving away from the subject matter. Try and look at it in this simple ways - Black man work, black man gets paid. Does it matter as to which COLOUR or RACE his services are directed towards?

Come on man, you are a smart man.

Let me break racism down for you.

rac ism


1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Nothing I said was racist according to the definition. I just have a problem when a grown man is reduced in this way. What makes matters worse is that he is an African. And we all know how Africans, no matter what country seem to worship foreigners.

Who cares if he is getting paid for this? Have you heard of something called pride? Just as the Black Americans what they think about this picture, since they had to experience slavery and Jim Crow. Any person caught defending this picture would be called an UNCLE TOM.

ElRazur:
Let me deal with your replies in several fronts.

You are saying YES to my question, you do realise that makes you come across as a racist or someone who have some sort of inferiority complex going on? Learn to see beyond colour and lets just deal with matters for what they are.

The issue here is that he is a police officer, he is trained in what he is doing, and as such required to put those training to practice during the time he is employed as a police officer.

Again, for the god-knows-how-many-times-now VIP are treated like royalties. For examples, there have been reports that when wealthy and influential Saudi Business men come to london do some business of some kind, their host provide them with love-peddler etc. And these host can be a big company.

My point is that, in the world of business, those considered VIP will be pampered and treated like royalties. This photo here is probably no exception. The background appears to be a building site of some kind etc.

A black man can NEVER be racist, because we do not have the power to keep other races down. We may be prejudiced but there is no way a black man can be racist.

And only a person who has never experienced racism would post like that. Or a person who has never left Nigeria. People in Nigeria can be so naive about white man or Asian. Some view us as animals but we still kiss that arse. Our women throw themselves on these people, and our men treat them like gods. Sickening. That is why Africa is in the sad state that we are in, because we look to the West and now East to solve our problems instead of looking inward.

mikeansy:
My point here is Roman Abramovic can not have a London Police officer holding umbrella for him around London, neither will Aliko Dangote get this same treatment from a Police Officer in Beinjing.

Police Officers in Nigerian Police Uniforms should not be reduced to this. This is how if you get to the Airport in Nigeria you see Nigerian immigration officers begging money from travellers and you tell me these Police and Immigration officers who are representatives of the Federal Government on the streets being reduced to this level is not a problem?

Gbam!

I experienced that when I was trying to leave Lagos for the UK. Those immigration officers have those hungry looks in their eyes. I was getting bombarded by them to give them a dash. You would never see that in a Western nation.

ElRazur:
Will you feel less nauseated if he was holding it for another black man? Yes or No please.

Yes, because a man can hold his own umbrella. If he was hired to protect the man, then he should be protecting him, not protecting him from the sun.

This picture sickens me. Just as bad as an African bending over backwards for a European.

Don't tell me that some Africans are starting to worship Asians? Why is he holding an umbrella like he is some slave?

The only state that should be created is Anioma state. That is all. The Delta Igbo need their own state.

Ribadu for now. . . But Goodluck could change my mind if he does right.

Nigerians with American or British accents should not be worried.

Looking at the kidnapping incidences, it seems like they are kidnapping people who stay in Nigeria, not Nigerians from the diaspora.

Stop derailing threads people.

Well I am happy that the South-east governors are not focusing on the presidency. It would be a waste of time. However, I feel anyone should have the freedom to run no matter what tribes they are from. I could care less if the person is Igbo, Efik, Kanuri, Ijaw, Yoruba, Nupe, Idoma or Tiv. As long as the best person is running.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=483127.msg6425409#msg6425409 date=1279724622]^^^ are you actually trying to convince NL that Angel Micheal came to you and told you to stop being a tribalist?

Anywayz, Nigerians are genetically stubborn and hardheaded, it'll take us a looooooooong while to get it together.[/quote]I was never a tribalist to begin with. My best friend name is Akin. Most of the time I was only joking around, but it is time for me to get serious on issues. I am not happy how this country is going. And a lot of us are losing our patience.

A fool at 50 will always be a fool.

You are starting to sound like a broken record that is blah blah blah Ibo blah blah blah[b] Biafra Biafra Biafra [/b] blah blah blah Ibo thieves blah blah blah[b] Ojukwu[/b] blah blah blah.

A lot of multiethnic nations as doing well. Not only Tanzania, but also look at India. However, I feel tribalism has spoiled any national consensus ever since Nigeria was created. Our forefathers should have prevented it at all cost, but I think it is too late. People in Nigeria will always look through a tribal lens. This is the sad fact. The coup, pogroms in the north and the civil war did not help either, but only make tribalism here to stay.

This nation is simply rudderless. No one is steering this ship and will continue to float endlessly into the abyss.

I am definitely getting tired of this nonsense. You claim our good people as Nigerians, but the bad elements of our society are known as Igbo.

Does that make Chinua Achebe a Nigerian or is he just Igbo?

Does that make Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie a Nigeria or is she just Igbo?

People need to stop acting so high and mighty, because this nation is going down the drain. In the north, you have terrorist who are not only target fellow Nigerians, but now are taking their jihad global. In the West, Lagos has a ton of crime, but since there are too many people in that city, it goes unnoticed. In the Niger Delta, you have militancy and oil bunkering. And in Igboland, you have kidnapping. They are evils and cannot be ranked.

Onye_ngbu,

I should have ignored the illiterate. Yes, I support Wole Soyinka, and I see him as a man with integrity. This debate should never have been made into a Yoruba v. Igbo thing. It had nothing to do with the thread.

People need to stop looking through tribal lens. Politicians use tribe and religion in order to get people upset at each while they loot our coffers.

I agree with you tho. . .[/quote]What is so funny?

I am being serious. Don't tell me you have a problem with African Americans? Say it aint so.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=482647.msg6422199#msg6422199 date=1279679212]So. . . . that makes it okay to deal drugs?[/quote]Not saying that is ok, but if you deal with poverty, people would not have to look to drugs to survive. Just look at African Americans who for years, were ostracized and kept in ghettos and they turned to drugs. Poverty is the bane of Nigeria.

Society reflects our gov't. When a gov't does not care about its people, the people will look to vices to escape this entrapment.

It is time for us to stop these tribalistic rants. It is unbecoming of supposedly educated Nigerians. We need to become more progressive thinking, because the elite of Nigeria do not care about their tribe, they only care about stealing money.

We dont care about whos controlling who afterall most yoruba people arent complaining-

dumb again you have no sense in your head because you dont know fulani people - they dont slaughter people They use islam on people who are muslims - They mix in DUH why do you think Fulani people in North Nigeria speak Hausa and not fulani DUH BECAUSE HAUSAS ARE MUSLIM.

Why do you think theyre different types of fulani DUMMY-

DUH- now im tired of schooling you dis igbo boy about fulani a yoruba history go and find your own history maybe you are jewish.

You are a fool and you Yorubas are dark as fucccc so I doubt any of you baboon looking people look like those pretty Fulani.

I know Fulani ppl too. True Fulanis, not the watered down Fulani you find in Nigeria. They originate from Senegal and speak true Fulani or Puula as they say.

The Fulani spread their religion through jihad. Everyone knows how Uthman dan Fodio started the Fulani jihads in which he conquered Hausaland who were nominal Muslims at the time, tried to conquer the Kanem-Bornu empire but failed, and moved south against the Yoruba. You don't know shyytt about history. In addition, Uthman dan Fodio learned the spiritual side of Islam from the Tuareg as well in Timbuktu.

The darker Fulani are not even true Fulani but slaves of them. They spread Islam with the sword. Even the Fulani jihads in other parts of West Africa were fought against fellow Muslims. Fulani Jihads targeted the Malinke, Mandinka and other groups.

sjeezy8:
lol incase you didnt know there MANY people who call themselves yoruba and arent nikku, and no one wants to go to igboland niggu- that place is dry!

Dumb boy you should read your history yoruba majority of whom were muslims/ traditional before christianity came
Yorubas have been muslims since 1400 and Sokoto Caliphate in Nigeria didnt show up till 1700- 1800s. DUH!

Fulanis didnt conquer shiot- They mixed in with muslim yorubas and installed an emir - DUH the main reason why I said there are yorubas who have fulani ancestors. Even Taureg dey in yorubaland - back then yoruba smashed and impregnated all non yoruba women to expand our empire we didnt know these sokoto touts will do the same to us.

THE REASON THERE HASNT BEEN AN EMIR OF ILORIN WITHOUT A YORUBA NAME and the reason he speaks yoruba-

Prime Example of how yorubas are nice- and welcoming- One day we wont welcome any damn body.

and stop studying yoruba folks and figure out what happen with igbo-

Yea right, the Fulani were not forcefully taking over Yorubaland peacefully, they were slaughtering you all by the thousands. If it wasn't for the British, the Fulani would have pushed you all into the sea. Even the Nupe were doing there thing against you all.

I already know what my people are doing. We will own your land soon enough and be your landlords. We Igbos don't care about politics, we feel like controlling you all through economics. It is only a matter of time.

TewMuch:
^^
Learn what Yoruba means, and come back and tell us why we are called that.You will understand that they are brave fighters and serious warriors.The fulani could never penetrate Yoruba's by war, only by religion.While you guys were still hiding in d deep jungle we were building commercial centers and well fortified cities.Learn what Igbo man means, it means bush man.lol.

I could care less what you Yorubas were doing to be honest. I can't speak for other Igbo groups, but we Aro were a force to be reckoned with and we were one of the last people in Nigeria to be subdued by the British. You Yoruba and the Sokoto Caliphate fell so easily to the British. Even Great Benin did not fall so easily.

And you all were building overcrowded cities that were dirty like the ones we see today, while my particular group of Igbos were establishing trade routes with the Hausa, Ibibio, Ijaw and subduing both Igbo groups and Efik/Ibibio people. The Fulani wouldn't dare enter our forest.

sjeezy8:
lol funny yoruba didnt cry about jos

Dont make me laugh because honestly Hausas in yorubaland are quiet and the yoruba youths started with the hausa-fulanis -

We know and understand eachother well Why dont you think theres never anything serious when a yoruba kills an hausa or an hausa kills a yoruba.

too me I know Fulanis to be peaceful to the point- theres ALOT of people today who call themselves yoruba- but their ancestors are actually fulani.

Why would a Fulani man call himself a Yoruba? Especially with the Fulani illustrious history of conquering other groups like you Yorubas. Even the word Yoruba is a Fulani term is it not?

The Hausa would never start that type of trouble in Igboland and there are plenty of Hausa in Alaigbo. Especially in Abia.

Hausa consider Yorubas slaves. They disrespect you in your own land. Oh I wish the British did not stop their conquest of your people. It was almost complete.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=482643.msg6421737#msg6421737 date=1279666819]and you think soyinka should also trust you and your ibo folks that may want to form alliance with him ?  
the north and yoruba seem to blend well in eveything apart from politics.if you doubt that,why do the ibo suffer more casualty whenever there is crisis in the north ? [/quote]Because your people are cowards. And if you know, Yorubas suffered heavy casualities in Jos the last time violence erupted. They didn't dare touch the Igbo due to our new strategy.

Hausa do not even care much about the Yoruba, because they know how weak your people are. The Fulani almost conquered your people if it wasn't for the British. And the Hausa-Fulani consider Yoruba Muslims as Pseudo-Muslims. . . Not real Muslims.

If you don't believe me, just ask a Hausa man. And remember Fulani herders have been targeting your fellow Yorubas in Yorubaland and Hausa are fighting Yorubas in the streets of Lagos.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=482643.msg6421571#msg6421571 date=1279664585]if ibo deals with minorities group comfortably,why are they having problem with yoruba and the north ? inferiority complex i guess ? does that stop yoruba blood from flowing in them ? no. these guys have alwas been social critics without political interest,that is why the ibo do not feel threatened by them. [/quote]Northerners like to deal with themselves and use the ocassional Yoruba as a house boy. You Yorubas burned that bridge a long time ago. We do not need to rehash history, but we all know why Igbos don't like dealing with Yorubas when it comes to politics.

sjeezy8:
you do know Awolowo, Obj, Mko abiola, Soyinka are from the same place right?

Soyinka is from the same family as Fela Kuti. Fela Kuti was a descendant of repatriated slaves as well so wouldn't that mean Wole Soyinka who comes from the same family might have slave ancestry.
