Poverty invaded Nigeria when some of us become the kings with the shining houses on the hills. This is the mentality behind people celebrating wealth and obscene riches in the midst of squalor and abject poverty.

However, they love countries where you cannot tell the difference between a millionaire and an average man or woman on the streets.

The security of mixing with an average man on the streets and enjoy fresh air at the parks are priceless.

We used to have something like those in Nigeria. Like Love Garden, Broad Street and Tinubu Square.

How many people in Nigeria feel like you even if you come from the North where your governors, former military leaders and village heads are begging for sanity.

As a personal assistant and agent of destruction turning the whole country into hell, they have eaten your conscience if you have any.

Africans and the whole world are crying for you, you are beating your chest, naked in the market.

Unik3030:
see idiot,y do u people believe anything.

Are u that dumb?
A democratically elected president is who u are talking crap about, it's like nnamdi kanu has taken your brain to kuje.

Irrespective of how much u hate buhari, he's still the recognised number 1 citizen of Nigeria n he will rule your hate filled empty skull till 2023.

U have to learn to differentiate between your hatefilled wishful thinking and reality

Who is this dimwit?

Which world leader is he referring to? He is not aware that the Vice-president of USA snobbed the President of the giant of Africa. They have intelligence on him as a terrorist like the diaper bomber.

Unik3030:
U call buhari a terrorist n he's touring d world n even meeting world leaders but nnamdi kanu your Lord n saviour is eating watery beans in underground prison.

I even hear say d fool shit for body when he jam buharis boys..........nawa ooo

Khiaa has a deeper problem than most of you can imagine. I am not sure she is even AA.

She must be one of those paid "fake Nigerians". She has an axe to grind.

This is why Africans in general have to be careful when you exchange words with disgruntled Black, even a fake Nigerian.

khiaa:
I love my brothers and sisters. I LMAO at a Nigerian telling me to read about Marcus Garvey, W.E.D Dubious( whom I don't have much respect for) Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan (may Yah continue to bless him). What a lot of nerve you have.
For your information, all the protesters were Nigerians on both sides.

I think we must air our differences with a goal of coming together but this tread is disturbing. You guys prejudice both sides, most of whom have never had problems with one another.

All these, based on personal experiences. Please, note that for every bad experience, there are many good experiences resulting in mentoring, jobs, marriages, ambassadors and other relationships.

Khiaa certainly had a bad experience but lashing out at her as we have done does not help.

Khiaa, please be a good example to other AA and love your brothers and sisters the same way Europeans and Asians love their people.

This attack of Blacks on Blacks happens in the West Indies, South America, America and Africa. We must learn to love our genetic make up as others do. This is why they dominate even in our communities or at home in Africa.

Khiaa and her opponents, please read up Marcus Garvey and WED Du Bois differences, Malcom X, Farrakhan. I deliberately left out Martin L. King and Mandela.

Khiaa this Nigeria loves you.

Any racist white American reading this tread would be dancing. This is exactly what they want.

He would be glad to lock AA and Africans up in an arena for game spots.

Khiaa,

I do understand your frustration with Nigerians and this Nigerian thinks you have a point. How can Nigerians run away from their country and label others in their own country lazy or label them with all the bad that also exist in Nigeria.

Look, there are ignorant BA as you called them avoiding AA just as ignorant Nigerians.

The argument you exposed here point to the same ignorance. Unfortunately, even amongst AA in the so called ivory tower.

It is true that AA have to work against all odds for success in America but immigrants are not your enemies, whites are. Yes, sometimes using immigrants to spite you. Accept that most immigrants will do anything to make sure their children will not have to.

The problem here is that every American like and advocates for their own kind from Europe to Asia.

Except most African Americans that develop instant hatred for anything that looks like them except a black Cadillac!

khiaa:
I have never seen so much victim mentality from anyone as much as I have heard from Nigerians.

You complain about not having jobs while putting the blame on your president and run to other countries instead of standing together and fighting the system, you can't even stand together because of your tribalism.

Some of you people are the most ignorant people I have ever seen, just look at the ignorance spewing from some of the posts.

Most of you side with Whites because they are your GOD, the worshipping is real.

It's the Black Americans who are working to remove barriers, you do nothing but come here and reap the benefits.

White or Black, both are fake Nigerians. The white man there understand he is a fake Nigerian.

But the African American will argue, no matter what.

Awo, Zik and Nkrumah took African and British Americans to Africa. They became Chief Justice etc, positions they could not smell at home.

Find out about W.E.D Du Bouis, he died in Ghana. Alexander died in Nigeria others in South Africa.

Read up about Western Nigeria, the only Black nation better developed than many countries in Europe and many states in America.

Yoruba want to go back and redevelop their land and get rid of albatross called Nigeria.

khiaa:
There were paid white protesters according to the op so why aren't you guys pissed about that and only show disdain towards the Black Americans?

Just be careful about misuse or correctness of the adage. It is a blunder to quote out of context.

Start by acknowledging the source: Swahili proverb says.....

The elders will be happy.

Like father like son.

He is not different from his father.

No need replying every htdot brain.

If you followed the tread, you must have gotten the answer into your skull.

US has a long memory.

laiperi:
This was already in before Biden but he could have cancelled it with heavy loss to US.

It has the finger print of Trump to punish France.

Do you read the article at all or you just feel like typing rubbish

Who made you their spokesman?

Fulani have been usurping Hausa leaderships for ages or use Judas among them.

Let them go!

Blue3k:
Notice it's always non hausa crying on their behalf creating these sorts of threads. Lol these weirdos are always competing in the oppression since being a victim is social currency in their culture. I really why certain people want to sow discontent with weak divide and conquere tactics.

The same man that brought Oba to his office to apologize while those old enough to be his father pay respect to Oba.

The problem with Yoruba started from some homes.

Trump also encouraged Britain to pull out of EU and US will fill the trade loss. But EU isn't about trade alone. It is a different culture from US.

France overreacted instead of asking both US and Australia for some trade deal in return.

This was already in before Biden but he could have cancelled it with heavy loss to US.

It has the finger print of Trump to punish France.

Dangote came out plainly and said he is reallocating his family fortune abroad. What else would you want to know?

MANY African businessmen go into business foremost to launder money outside like foreign businesses have been doing for ages in Africa.

Even in war torn Afghanistan, European and American businesses get all the contracts. So all the trillions spent hardly leave America or Europe.

Dangote is no dummy, nobody invests in a dying industry in the 20s knowing full well that they are not going to get returns.

This is mainly Other People's Money from coconspirator banks to launder money holding a country as collateral.

If you think drug money is the only way to buy your land and properties, think again. This and the next generation will curse you in your rotten graves.

Dangote and your business men and women laugh:

who cares, they are dead!

I think you guys are too hard on my friend Ronsikkit. He is an optimist and has the right to state his opinion.

My problem with him is that those with that view all the time, may become complacent and miss the dilemma starring at us.

What of those who want their children to do better than them?

Service jobs is all it takes. When the whole country turn their attention to one goal, making money:

Who are the engineers, nuclear scientists, astronauts, sculptors, doctors, historians, geologists and mental workers?

Ani na only money we go chop? What are we going to buy with the money anyway?

Man cannot live by Indomitable alone o.

Nigerians have to do the impossible to redeem the Country like waking up Herbert Macauley, Ikoli, Zik and Awo.

I agree with you on the One drop rule.

But some blacks have beaten it because they look white only to have black kids themselves.

Even Presidential candidates have been accused by their opponents for being Black which had been strenuously denied. It is why they say Obama is not the first Black President.

Africans are probably more mixed than African Americans but the preference for those looking closer to whites in the West Indian and American families push them into limelight especially in jobs like front offices and Pictures (role).

RedboneSmith:
Nope. No phenotypic deferences between White Americans and Europeans.

Whereas a significant percentage of African-Americans have enough white and Native American genetic contribution to look quite distinct from Africans, White Americans do not have enough non-European genetic contribution to appear distinct from Europeans. Blame it on the One Drop Rule, which White Americans used to keep their gene pool as clean as possible (it's still not squeaky clean, but they tried) , while everyone else's pool got muddied.

I thought guys learned their lesson from taxi days.

Some of the new cab drivers did this and had to pay for the cab they rented out of their own money instead of taking money home.

It is either they have no school fees and house rent to pay or they have no family to take money to.

Most of them learn the hard way, very fast.

Yoruba from Egypt, Igbo from Isreal and Hausa Fulani from Saudi Arabia.

Some of these Africans are like a lost child looking for his "real" father.

No matter how much help we rendered, we must learn to move on and not expect anything back. Just thank God if they do not strike you in the back.

If you expect anything back, you are setting up yourself for disappointment.

In the case of a woman, no matter how close your relationship, respect her and her new relationship. Do not expect her to keep you at the back pocket and risk messing up her new relationship.

Abeg, park make she move on.

This was Nigeria.

The behavior that touched some of us, especially when reward is not expected, can be overwhelming.

You just have to be at the right place at the right time with the right lady or man.

Fuss and attitude is the norm of the day.

Another Oil Curse, God forbid bad thing.

Nigeria give yourself a break.

There are people out there that do not know or understand the sacrifice Activists or Freedom Fighters make.

Some of the same people you were fighting for would betray you for pittance and ignore you as you suffer for them.

It can be a very lonely fight. You may even get killed in the process. If you have family, they would bear the consequences.

If Buhari and Trump can so can a high maintenance fine lady.

Too many cars per square meters, period

BigRocky:
We did during #endsars and what was the end.
Police are back on the road extorting citizens at any given opportunity.

No one has been held responsible for lekki masaccre.

Until our police and military come to their sences,things might never workout.

I get your point but it has to be more than that. Yes, it scared the hell out of oppressors. They thought it was the beginning of the end.

I think the Youths need to read up about student's strikes in Nigeria and students like Kayode Adams, a young man Wole Soyinka. Another one, Sowore later came on board.

Then there were activists like Tai Solari, Gani Fawehinmi, Agbakoaba etc.

We can even go back to Aminu Kanu, you know the rest.

What all these guys had in common was their youthful age. Do not forget, those who form Nigeria Youths Movement would cry if they see today's youth with their soother, iPhone.

BigRocky:
Nigerian leaders has not been able to fix the country since 1960!

The blood of many innocent Nigerians massacred along the Libya route will continue to torment this bastard's.

Do you really think these men in their 80s and their beneficiaries care?

We cannot take satisfaction from God go punish dem.

It is the future and country of our Youths, they must risk the same lives they risk across sea and desert.
