Romance › Re: I Can't Stand Black Americans by Gerrard59(m): 5:46am On Nov 16, 2023

SuccessfulRichi:
Any white man that's copying a black man is a big time foooool. And he's paving way to his destruction sooner than later

As insulting as this is, it is the truth. Why should a member of a wealthy group copy the acts of members of a poor group? If their cultural acts were so good, why are they not prosperous? It makes sense for whites to copy Japanese or Chinese, not blacks. It is the same thing as black Africans; you copy the good sides of wealthy societies/groups. That way, you begin to do things differently and, hopefully, stop being poor.

But seriously, black Africans don't have the moral right to criticise African Americans. Allow them be. I once had a jaundiced view of them, but after realising say my own people no better pass them, I focused on myself. The last thing I will do is carry another man's problems on my head when I have not finished solving mine.

BlackhatMentor:
They?

Their ancestors faced slavery not them. Slavery ended more than 100 years ago.

While that is true, the segregation laws ended within the same period many African countries got independence. If we are to go by your argument that we should not be criticised for not developing quickly enough, then it is hypocritical to lampoon AAs when they just got out of segregation policies, which affected income growth.

The Isrealis in America have suffered similar faith
yet look at them now.

Israelis abi Chinese? Israelis are basically white people. If you mean Jews who fled Europe, they benefitted a lot while in the US. However, they, too, faced discrimination during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Harvard openly discriminated against Jewish students. Chinese faced terrible acts, but unlike AAs, Chinese were not enslaved. I must commend the Chinese culture, though, for being hard-working, pragmatic and disciplined. That is what we should copy.

If those black Americans had sense they would have been the main voice of Africa internationally.

No, they shouldn't. The last time that happened, there was a civil war in Liberia as they were the cause. Also, they have nothing to gain from being the main voice. Once you give them that privilege, they will impose their cultural norms on black Africans who will oppose them as we are culturally different. It is every man for himself.

Looking at OP's profile history, I am willing to bet two things:

- He is a fanatical member of the so-called ADOS (American Descendants of Slaves): This group of people see themselves as the native black population since they were taken to the US against their will and suffered humiliations to be what they are today. They see themselves as different from other black groups such as Caribbean or Africans who went to the US willingly and did not experience the heinous slave atrocities against black people.

- A white supremacist: This one loves to put a spanner in the works in order to achieve divide and conquer against black groups from different places. A divided house is bound to fall as it is susceptible to influences by outsiders.

The ADOS is promoted by Tariq Nasheed, a drifter who once supported white supremacists and now tries to create the next big thing - all aimed at getting money from donors. He once told Nigerians during one of the ever-tiring diaspora wars to support them financially if they (Nigerians) don't want to be harassed online by his fanatical followers.

That said, there are many misconceptions about OP's tirade:

African Americans, or AA for short, are not lazy as peddled. If they were, they won't be the richest set of black people globally. Sure, they have issues about their communities, some of which are as a result of ill-fated policies which are not working, destruction of the family system and historical humiliation. Just like every other racial group, they have their faults. However, I strongly oppose that black Africans should be the one demonising them as we are not any better. The same issues they face, we experience them, and with excruciating poverty at the same time. It is like someone from Borno mocking a Somalian.

It behoves on us as black Africans to ensure Africa works as that will be the reason AAs would want to respect us and maybe work with us in the future. As it is, they don't see any gain in working with us - our cultures differ, ditto issues. The major problem facing black people is crude racial discrimination, which they, too, suffer from, although only mildly, as they are Americans. Once they leave America, especially to places with few black people, they are considered Africans. And that is what they don't like - experiencing slurs simply because they are black even when they don't deserve those slurs as they did not cause it.

Unfortunately, the world does not work like that. Black people are very poor, and this is because sub-Saharan Africa - home to the black race - is notoriously impoverished. Before the rise of China, a Taiwanese would have been treated as a poor person even though Taiwan, a then Asian Tiger, was prosperous. But today, every Chinese is respected because the populous Chinese nation is wealthy. For racial discrimination against black people, whether from Barbados or Ecuador or Atlanta, to subside drastically, the most populous black environment has to be rich. No one disrespects a rich person because of the economic consequences. However, poor people are either disrespected or pitied; the former often happens. I have a thread on it: https://www.nairaland.com/5886610/racism-against-blacks-reduce-drastically

P.S. Discrimination is a human phenomenon. To discriminate is human. Humans are tribal.

Nazgul:
Before any lady corner you and tie you down in forced matrimony, ask the following questions...

1. How much do you both earn monthly? How much will you require to run your marriage monthly? Take inflation into consideration, and calculate how much you will spend on rent, feeding, utility bills, transportation, medicals among others.

2. Who pays the running bills monthly? The husband, the wife or both of you? At what percentage? 50/50, 60/40, 70/30? Discuss it with your Partner.

3. How long will you both work as salary earners? Any plan to invest in other businesses? What does it take? How much of your fiance will it take? What type of sacrifice will it require?

4. Will you engage in monthly savings? If yes, how much percentage of your salaries would go into savings?

5. Will you be operating a Joint or Separate accounts? Discuss this with your partner.

6. If you are running a business; How much does it generate monthly? Would she join you in running it when you get married? If yes how best can you two grow your monthly income?

7. What are your yearly Financial goals? How do you both plan to achieve them?

8. Do you believe in paying tithe, first fruits, offerings and sowing special seeds? You need to discuss this with your partner, so you can both plan ahead whenever the need for such financial commitment arises.

9. What percentage of your income will be going to your parents or siblings monthly? Discuss this with your partner. It's very important.

10. When CHILDREN start coming, how MUCH will you need to take good care of them monthly? Would you want them to attend public school or private school, are there affordable Private schools in your neighborhood where you can enroll them, what percentage of your earnings or savings would they require monthly to see them through nursery and primary school. Would government secondary school be better for them or private? Would public universities be better or private or abroad? These are things you must iron out with your partner before getting married.

Plan your FINANCES before getting married.

Set up your self for Financial growth not Financial failure in marriage.

Most broken marriages occur due to lack of finances or poor financial planning from one or both couples.

The above are very important questions intending couples should ask themselves. They are hard and some sound very uncomfortable, but odikwa necessary.

I have seen a lot as a result of low finances from a man's perspective in marriages, and I will forever remain on the side of a man being financially capable before and during marriage. Yes, he might lose his job or the economy goes into recession, but let it be that at the onset you were prepared. Most importantly, to counter unforeseen circumstances, bear the number of children you fit take care of.

Neither children nor marriage are blessings. Religious people will argue, but that is my belief.

Gbadugbakun:
Nice write up OP

Money is extremely important in marriages. The problem with many young men today is rather than work hard and attain a certain level of financial balance before getting married, they would get married in faith. (No thanks to religion that is currently influencing most of our decisions.)

Before I drop my pen I want to quickly add this, if your supposed spouse is jobless, please for the sake of your unborn children let her be. Don't let her use doggy style to manipulate you to marry her. You cannot be struggling to manage yourself and use your two eyes to marry a jobless girl. Did they use poverty to swear for you ni? Help your destiny and marrying something who has something doing.

While I agree with the rest, the bold is quite tricky. I understand the place of both couples, but a woman who is a sit-at-home mom is adding greater value than just being described as a jobless wife. Obviously, the woman should be educated, both schooled and philosophical to be a proper SAHM. However, in a case where the man can afford to take care of the family, there is nothing wrong with having a wife who stays at home taking care of the children and housefront. Taking care of children is a job in itself, at least for your lineage and society. Properly raised children contribute positively to the wider society.

The global economy has distorted that system and one of its major results is low birth rates because women joined the workforce. This is not to say women joining the workforce is bad, but when both couples are working and abdicated the job of raising children to daycare schools, then even the money both are working goes to daycare institutions. It is for this reason Xi of China wants Chinese women to reduce working hours and stay at home so that birth rates rise. As for daycare schools, one of the reasons immigrant families in developed countries have higher birth rates is because their parents step in to assist in taking of their grandchildren, aka Omugwo.

Again, nothing wrong with a wife who works, but nothing wrong as well with a woman who stays at home raising the children and managing the homefront. Each marriage is unique.

Why dont you go online and apply for an international truck driving jobs...

If you are interested in coming to America to work as a truck driver, the H-2B nonimmigrant visa program is likely the best path.

The first is not possible as he does not have the required qualifications. Also, he is not a South African, which the UK accepts as truck drivers.

Two, only South Africa and Eswatini are eligible countries from Africa for that visa program: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2b-temporary-non-agricultural-workers

OP should attend a federal school, preferably study a science-oriented course, get good grades, and ace GRE and TOEFL. Then, apply via study visa. Alternatively, he studies Spanish for a year or two and goes to Argentina - tuition-free.

South Africa and Eswatini dey there.
I just laugh when people ask dumb questions on the forum. I have not seen where a Nigerian got employed from Nigeria as a truck driver in the USA. Miraculously a 19 years old guy( if true) thinks he can magically qualify. 🤣

The estranged wife of the footballer Odion Ighalo regarding his unfaithfulness to her that he even slept with a famous Big brother naija star broke the Internet today .
What really baffled me were comments from people with almost 99 percent in support of Odion Ighalo.
Alot of Nigerians will never take side against a Nigerian celebrity in sports,music or other ventures as the case may be.
It's now like a norm.
For example you come out and say Burna boy stop your weed smoking as you are influencing a lot of youths following you.The backlash you will receive for that stament may even make you deactivate your account.
It's terrible.

It being conspicuous is an African or developing world thing. But generally, rich/wealthy husbands who cheated are not overly criticised by netizens simply because they are rich. Chinese don't lampoon rich men who cheat. They will criticise such men in cases where they (the men) lose a lot in divorce judgements. Even the French don't view infidelity the way others do. It is an American thing as a result of Evangelical Christians. Religion aside, most cultures globally don't see anything wrong with a man who has sex with many women provided he is financially capable.

How black men worship white women even in the presence of black women, which she found very shameful. Although she was criticised because she married a white man, but in her defence, she stated she had to do so as she had no black suitor. Other black women corroborated her statement.

After this rape incident, he came to their class the following day and started gisting his friends how he fuçked Oyinbo in the toilet.

Serves him right. I only pity the poor parents who laboured in vain for him.

As we can see, he knew what he did. There was no excuse whatsoever. He clearly knew it. Good riddance to utter rubbish! The parents would have made more money and had peace of mind if they had reared goats instead of sending him to the UK. At 30 years, no commonsense whatsoever.

I just want to tell you South Africans, NEVER take the rants, chants and tears of tribalistic Nigerians seriously. They are the last people ever to accuse you people of discrimination. Whenever they accuse you folks of xenophobia, tell them that in Nigeria, governors deport fellow Nigerians within Nigeria. Inform them that fellow Nigerians enter farms to butcher innocent farmers and wipe out villages. Inform them that whenever others make a comment based on their immediate environment, they are told by others to "go back to Anambra". Also, babies from certain ethnic groups have "tainted blood".

Never be gaslighted or deceived by Nigerians that you South Africans are discriminatory. At least, you people are the wealthiest in Africa. Nigerians are the poorest in the world after defeating India to be in the pole position. Don't be gaslighted. They are too poor and wretched to accuse others of what they do for a living.

With that money he can have an oil. Plam plantation or cocoa seseme seeds, well it's his money tho.. And with 5 years scale up.. All he needs his his friends like 200 of them donating or buying $100m yearly... But that school will cost die..

There is nothing like a manufacturing factory for phones. Phones are assembled with parts from different manufacturers of those parts. So, a screen manufacturer is different from the battery manufacturer. Then, every part goes to the brand's assembling facility or authorised partner. Upon assembling, it gets shipped out. The same applies to cars. Cars are not manufactured but assembled.

Wigwe's source of wealth is from banking, and it is easier to venture into tertiary education than assembling electronics when there are fierce competitors in Asia. No country in Africa can out-do the East and now South East Asian countries in electronics production and assembling. Even the West cannot.

On the other hand, it could be in Lagos State since he is also professionally a Lagos big dude... A part of the original Guaranty Trust Bank employees who moved on to set up Access Bank.

I read years back how Herbert's father who was then a Nigerian military officer in Abeokuta survived being killed in the aftermath of the counter coup of 1966, and how he was tipped off by a colleague who asked him what he was still doing in the West when some of his military colleagues had relocated. He miraculously made it back with his nuclear family to their ancestral home town near the Port Harcourt area. It was a very fascinating story of survival and the triumph of the human spirit... I never forgot that interview.
