I know for sure they call those from Onitsha YourubaIgbo while Imo think they are the real Igbo.

Deny it if you can.

African man is crazy but never this crazy. I am not surprised that they did not kill him. They hardly do that to white men. Most of the mass killers come with their mass killer gene.

The most important qualification to become police officers.

Xisnin:
I knew he was a Trump redneck before I opened the thread.
They love guns and love shooting people.

These are Klan Militias that have gone underground, reappearing as police officers with the wide support of Klan members.

They are licensed to kill knowing they will be acquitted by jury of their peers. They get encouragement from their president.

GN, even if placed on top of your nose, you won't see it. Why border?

GamalNasser:
Name one racist thing Trump has done ?

Please sir, mention one job she ever had in the private sector. Better still one country she has used that private company experience to turn around.

It is not your education but what you do with it. I have friends that graduated from Ogbete Market and can buy Ngozi.

She doesn't need it. She's extremely intelligent and the issue of not having foresight is only in your imagination. She's a financial and economic powerhouse recognized around the world. Not easy to graduate with Bsc and PhD in two most respected higher institutions of learning in the world, Harvard and MIT.

You again.

What and who is holding you back?

After all the quit notices!

Y'all just proved the writers point of igbos beign scorned in Nigeria..
Two pages of hate against one particular tribe, yet you develope seizures anytime they want to secede, can't you see your problems are not hatred but envy?
Shoudn't you be doing NK's work to actualize Biafra let them go with all their problems? What exactly do you want from Igbos? For them to come down to your lower echelon ewedu bracket? Sorry, you will wait for ever

Honestly, you do have a point.

For every billion sent by these hard working Nigerians abroad, do you know how much is laundered out?

Actually one malam would change all your foreign money without leaving his car.

Do you know how many trillions are brought into Europe and America? What is brought into each African country pales after all the blood, sweat and indignities.

How can we fight our devils at home if the best of us were taken out as slaves to build their riches yesterday and we are still doing the same for pittance today?

Where does the vicious circle end?

Kenn55:
What i don't understand in this travel section is how some people take this abroad thing too personal to the extent that they look like they have something eating them up internally. What exactly is the problem? That Nigerians should not migrate? Nigerians in diaspora should come back?

If Nigerians are slaves and not recognized abroad like some people say, whose business is it? Why would someone take it personal when he himself is a king in Nigeria and not affected?

We all want Nigeria to be great but how is Nigerians abroad or aspiring to migrate the problem of the country. Someone would just be worrying over the 'slave' status of Nigerians abroad as if it affects him instead of channeling their energy to the real people who are the problem of Nigeria. If you love Nigeria, then channel your criticism to those guys that have made Nigeria bleeped up. They are in Abuja and all the 36 states capital in Nigeria.

As it stands Nigerians in diaspora are even contributing to Nigeria more than those idiots. Nigerians in diaspora remitted $17.5 billion to Nigeria in 2019 alone
https://nairametrics.com/2020/01/11/nigeria-receives-17-5-billion-diaspora-remittances-in-2019/
These are monies from cleaning jobs, washing dead bodies, uber driving, factory workers, doctors, engineers, nurses etc but the so called people who should make Nigeria better take Nigeria's money oversees. For example, how much of Nigeria's money has Buhari and his families remitted to the Europe through medical tourism?
Instead of some of you to appreciate Nigerians abroad, you keep on talking nonsense.

What about Onyeka Owenu? She could not contest from her hometown.

Una nor dey taya abi una chest nor dey bleed

BabaRamota1980:
That guy is slow! You exchanged number with someone not in your spec. You go visited someone not in your spec, in his apt and during lockdown That guy is slow. Come and try that with me.

I thought I was the only one disgusted by their madness.

What exactly do you enjoy in the company of a single guy that knows you are also single.

Or you are waiting until you find someone better.

Let him later you first, you will be crying

What about the other way round that Jews are the wandering tribe from the Igbo of Africa

SLAP44:
The igbos are a blessed race - Henry Kissinger

Recognition is one thing, chest beating is another. We have many of them in that industry including Fela and Orlando Martins.

Papa Olatunji's wife is still around I think. She was honored by Nigerian Organization a couple of years ago.

True, Nigeria did a lot. But please never forget Nkrumah in that area. It is almost insincere not to mention Osagyefo Nkrumah and his contributions to all African countries.

favor914:
Without Nigeria no freedom for Zimbabwe & South Africa, no ZANU-PF, no ANC without Nigeria’s support & finances, thanks mostly to the Nigerian Military Governments in power, when Mandela was released from prison, the first country he visited was Nigeria. Stayed in Sandton, Joburg some years ago on holiday, was amazed the way older South Africans respect Nigeria as a Country, really I was truly surprised.

Those Africans that studied abroad without scholarships, loans, laundered money from parents and relatives AND still come home and contribute must be celebrated not the ones that hid abroad after deserting Nigeria.

What would Nigeria Medical, Legal and other areas be without them until the 80s. Since then Nigeria has been going down. Celebrate your heroes at home to encourage new generation not those copy copy African Europeans we used to call Adaka and Odaka.

The only way to appreciate success in African Americans is to understand the odds against them which some of us blame them for. Blaming the victims.

They lack the confidence most Africans had in those days that helped them succeed in Europe and America. Sometimes, it is even surprising that they made it through high school.

This guy is exceptional from the way he makes and spends his money. I can never see him ending up poor like some in sports and entertainment.

Respect. We need more Africans in Africa like him. We have many in Nigeria but they are ridiculed and never celebrated because they are low-key and never ostentatious.

This proves what we have always known. Millions of Nigerians leave this country every years and millions make it while others fall by the wayside.

What is new is that out of these millions that make it, individuals are pick one by one for celebration in Nigeria daily. There is no part of this country that has not produce individuals that made it overseas.

Let their families that gain from them celebrate them. They have not benefited you, the masses or Africa. And the worst country that has been made the Poverty Capital of the World is Nigeria.

Boasting others achievement may anesthetize you like a drug, it has nothing to do with you or village progress.

Indeed, no matter what they achieved, they are nobody abroad. If anything, they are gouded daily to go back home and save Africa. They are direpected, ignored and envied for their hand work because they come from the ZOO!

It has nothing to do with reading, writing or education. It is what you do with it.

Literacy comes in different languages and culture but you have to use it to explore, discover and invent the ability to live better.

But if your literacy, culture, morality and religion is taken from you and surreptitiously replaced with their own, you worship them from one generation to the next. Courtesy of English politicians like Lord Thomas McCauley 1835.

Who else prefer imported used and discarded goods, materials and tastes to their local ones almost exclusively ridiculing their own except in the hinterland.

Those who claimed Nigeria never made enough money per capita forget that it is not how much you have but how you use it as others emulate your prodigal ways.

Literacy make you reflect, think and develop not just to cram from others.

Nobody should lose his sacred life.

Life is too cheap in most African countries, unfortunately we do not insist and protest the taking of lives unless it is by opponents.

Igbo lives and any other even in the hands of their own is sacred.

Here I stand with Ndi-Igbo

This is the type of people Africa should be proud of. He reminds me of a group of girls from MIT and Harvard that got together to render summer training for youths in Abuja some years ago.

I wonder where they are now.

This guy is a committed African, not just Nigerian or Igbo. You cannot compare him to the other losers that will never be respected overseas no matter what they achieved.

ggirl4real:
OP, add Religion too to your list.

Thanks. I can't believe I missed that.

Lord Thomas McCauley was one of the English Colonial masters that recognized the superiority of African and Asian cultures, morals and native traditional education.

He advocated the destruction of these cultures and replace them with English culture, language and education before they could be conquered and ruled.

All they had to do was impact it on their leaders that would enforce them on their population.

The youths and their parents have proven him right in Africa while India has made tremendous progress in rejecting English culture, language and education.

Well said. When is your demonstration to support him? You will soon get a meritorious position too going by the parties you support in Europe and America.

Keep on riding the back of the tiger.

Enwhen:
President Donald Trump will trump Biden Joe... The african kind of politics being played by the Democrats is not healthy for the American people ...

Who are your leaders and who elected the present Igbo leaders or those under Jonathan?

Please answer the question:

Igbochief001:
have we been allowed to elect out leaders ?

Yoruba people be careful now. This is how you installed Jonathan knowing that Yaradua nor go las.

You guys are so blinded, you cannot see the irony in your celebration of a legal assistant that was made a Provincial minister that has been elevated to Canada minister even after been corrected severally.

If you are a Canadian black or white lawyer, would you be glad to see an African legal assistant that has only been in your country for a few years, appointed?

You shout merit merit merit at home but once you get what you want by any means, merit can go to hell.

Find out the record of Conservative on immigration. This guy would not even get into Canada.

RuudVanNisteroy:
He used to run a small law firm in Canada with his wife before he became elected. He is more qualified than the so called "experienced leaders" that have run down the country and turned it to the poverty and corruption capital of the world.

Let me burst your bubble small small.

The only job this man can get in Canada with his three years legal training is that of legal assistant.

Now politics in Canada demands that he appeals to a political philosophy, in this case as conservative. This was how he got votes to be elected.

No Canadian trained lawyer can get his position without 8 years training to become a lawyer. So he should be the last person to talk about merit.

Now, in Nigeria political election demands conversing and begging for votes just like Madu did. Not by zoning, bullying and blackmail.

Another fabrication to drug lazy Youths from Achievement.

https://nj.gov/governor/admin/cabinet/

Who are you celebrating here?

Is there any State of Federal Government in United States that does not have Nigerians?

Check the 2017 transition team and check the cabinet, I cannot find any Nigerian in NJ cabinet.

Why bring 2017 into 2020?

https://nj.gov/governor/admin/cabinet/

Who are you celebrating here?

Nigerians are disrespected e everywhere, yet they will rather be killed outside than stay home and fight their devils.

The same Nigerians would be writing home bragging to others and calling his home all kinds of nasty names.
