Foreign Affairs / Re: Justine Sacco - "Going To Africa. Hope I Don't Get AIDS..... I'm White" - by mickjagger(m): 6:36pm On Dec 22, 2013
We Africans have the power and control to create,perpetuate, and maintain brutal systematic racism that oppresses white people every day. As such, we have created this handy list on how to continue this oppression;

1. Enslave their bodies.
Ship them from Germany, Sweden, and other exotic countries.
Force them to build entire cities, roads, bridges. Force them to plant and harvest all the food everyone eats. Let an entire economic system be built on their backs, with their blood and sweat. Later, deny them access to the system they have been used to build, and accuse them of being extremely lazy.

2. Steal their land.
If they were here before you, steal their land. This is essential. Basically, just go in there and take it. If you have to kill some of them to get it…no worries. If you have to kill almost all of them to get it…sh1t, no worries. After you steal their land, make sure you create laws to keep them from ever returning to it. If they try to return anyway, build fences, and let bands of POC vigilantes patrol the borders with guns. If they somehow get past the borders and into your country, no worries, you can always just deport them.

3. Enslave their minds.
From these systems, build a long lasting institution of racism until all the violence and microaggressions make many white people into suspicious people with a lot of internalized self-hatred, health problems, and mental illnesses. Then deny them access to adequate mental health care. Or, adequate health care of any kind, while you’re at it.

4. Wipe out and/or appropriate their customs.
Since many of their customs are savage and unworthy of preserving, wipe out their traditions. Sometimes wear a beret and lederhosen, because Swedish culture is really exotic even though it’s inferior to ours.

6. Call them “honky”.
As Africans, we have been rightfully accused of being racist to white people, especially when we call them “honky”. As we all know,calling them “honky” is egregiously offensive and horribly shocking because of this long, violent,racist history.

7. Just keep being terrible to them.
Do everything you can think of to make it so that white people make less money; their children are shot by cops; white women are at higher risk for assault and they are exotified until they no longer seem human; white men are beaten and thrown into jails because they look “suspicious” and “threatening”; they are racially profiled everywhere they go.

8. Make sure most representations of them in the media are negative.
They should almost always be portrayed as pasty, stringy-haired, rhythm-less, sexless, uptight, and booooring. Also, there should be very few representations of them and when they’re portrayed at all, they should always only be the comic relief, the silent exotic sex object, or the incompetent sidekick. They are only allowed to be easily forgettable, one-dimensional characters. Sometimes use POC actors in white-face to portray these white people. By presenting this ONE image of them all the time, you will be able to ensure a widespread belief in their inferiority.

9. Remember, every time a white person thinks your behavior is unfair or wrong, tell them that they should stop being so sensitive! We live in a post-reverse-racial society now! Jeez.

So just this year alone, Nigerians are being deported en masse from South Africa, Kenya, China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Tunisia, Botswana, Zambia, USA, UK, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, you name it.

These are countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Americas-i.e the world.

At some point, the question must be asked, does the world have a problem or do Nigerians have a problem

Travel / Re: UK Suspends £3,000 Visa Bond by mickjagger(m): 6:33pm On Nov 03, 2013
vivacious vivi: Great news indeed! But I believe Ghana was on the list. Why was it removed?

Government plans to force visitors from “high risk” countries to pay a £3,000 security bond to enter the UK have been scrapped, it is understood. Home Secretary Theresa May’s scheme was due to be piloted from this month as a way of deterring temporary visitors from staying on in the UK after their visas expire.

It had been suggested that visitors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ghana and Nigeria would be required to pay the deposit for a six-month visa, but it is understood the scheme has now been scrapped. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/94879134-4468-11e3-8926-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2jbYwxUHS

Foreign Affairs / Re: Secession Bid Of Texas And Obama's War Options! by mickjagger(m): 9:19am On Nov 14, 2012
I don't think that the US fundamentally more different than Bosnia, Lebanon, Belgium, Canada (think of the Quebec issue) or India (think of Pakistan and later Kashmir issue), or Turkey (think of the Kurdish issue), or Britain (think of the Northern Ireland issue), or Russia (think of the Chechen issue), or China (think of the Tibet/Xinjiang issues), or former Czechoslovakia, or former Yugoslavia.


The United States is populated by humans, just as the other countires are.

Polarisation is only going to increase, and at some point white anglos will be voting for white anglos, latinos for latinos, and blacks for blacks, just like many people around the world do.
For example if there are just 20 percent whites in the US, they will be voting just as blacks do, as they will feel under pressure from other, larger and stronger groups. The white vote today in the US is less ethnic than the black or the latino vote, but as their numbers decrease, radicalisation and ethnisation among whites will increase.


Then there is the issue of creeping bilingualism, and bilingual countries are never stable. Separatism in such countries is strong.
The americans are like people who never played with fire. They just believed their own propaganda of being an universalist nation, where ideas are ticker than blood. These ideas were born due to lack of experience, as their nation is young.


They are going to experience a process called balkanisation, something that many other countries before them experienced.


Bring on the pop corn.

Politics / Re: Why Are Nigerians In Diaspora So Bitter? by mickjagger(m): 10:30pm On Oct 06, 2012
In Africa, the conventional wisdom is that life is much better abroad, especially in the developed countries in the west. Many people, especially the unemployed, the ambitious and the optimistic believe that life abroad must offer much more promising to their home country. This is the reason why some people will go to any lengths to acquire a visa and other travelling documents in a bid to leave the country at the earliest opportunity.

Some Nigerians who travel abroad, especially to America and Europe usually go there with unreasonably high expectations. This is partly due to lack of awareness, not doing enough research before migrating to downright ignorance or desperation back at home. After enduring the poverty and low expectations of fulfillment back home, they imagine that they are moving to a land of milk and honey, an Eldorado where life is smooth, jobs are available and where one can achieve beyond their wildest dreams.

This is the common understanding by people who have not seen the reality of life in the US. Not that the belief is entirely misplaced, no. There have been many success cases among Nigerians, but the sob stories almost correspond with number of successes. The problem lies with the misconceptions that people have about life in the west. Then there is the issue of the green card, which enables people to move to America and become citizens.

There have been numerous cases of people’s lives changing for the worse after winning this elusive card. Many people do not understand the ramifications of winning the green card. They imagine it is their key to a new prosperous life, and they embark on the migration to America without doing thorough research and without any preparations apart from hope and prayer.


In short, they plunge into an unknown world and hope or believe that things will work themselves out once they have settled in America. Cases have been heard where people who have won the green card cut off all roots to their homeland in the believe that they are going to start a new life and, as it were, turn over a new leaf and wash their hands of a regrettable origin and past. They sell all their property, resign from their jobs, withdraw children from school and generally cut all links to their lives in Nigeria.

In some extreme cases, some people have been known to tell their friends, foes and family members the unflattering truth about what they really think of them. In short, they burn their bridges since they are leaving, forever. Wrong move.

For those who have no relatives, friends or contacts, many arrive in the United States virtually broke. No home to live in, no job, no information about where you are going to settle. What many people don’t know is that once you step out of the plane after arrival in the US after winning the green card, you are literally on your own! The American government does not provide any freebies at all to immigrants and woe unto you if you arrive without a plan for survival.

Other realities sink in, and very fast. Your certificates and papers may not be recognized. You might think that you will become a teacher or doctor since it was your job back home, only to realize that the education system in America is very different and has no place for you. Due to this misconception that one can automatically get a new job similar to the one they used to have at home, many frustrated Nigerians end up doing lowly jobs (compared to their previous ones). That is why we get people who have degrees doing such menial jobs as dishwashing, toilet cleaning, serving in the homes for the elderly and such other things that they would not have thought of doing.

In this time of a world recession, even more Americans are finding themselves out of jobs. What chances are there, therefore, for an immigrant Johnny or Jane Foreigner? This culture shock and lack of orientation has led to various problems including depression, drug taking, suicide and generally being a nuisance to friends and family whom you find there.

Cases of immigrants to America juggling two, three or even four casual jobs are commonplace. This is because life is very expensive in America and in Europe. So one might come across an unhappy Nigerian, doing a job they don’t like and generally living unhappily and in frustration.

There are some who are beggars and homeless, and there re other qualified and specialized people who are doing menial jobs that they would never have contemplated back home. Some have died and been buried abroad as paupers. Some people, when faced with the harsh reality that their dream was but a mirage, are reluctant or unwilling to return home. This is because they feel they have failed the expectations of their people, and are ashamed to go back even poorer than they left. This is more so of those who won green cards and burnt their bridges back home. They feel that they will be the laughing stock once they go back. This is because many people leave home with wild expectations of getting rich. They host ‘farewell’ bashes where talk of a new prosperous life abroad is spoken.

Amid such great expectations from relatives, some opt to stay put in America, living their unhappy lives and even cutting contacts with the people back home. These are the frustrated, bitter lot that you see in Nairaland all the time.

It is imperative to conclude with a little advice to so called "Diaspora". If you are leaving to look for a better life abroad, do not burn your bridges as you might need them to walk on when things don’t work out and you have no option but to go back home.

HiiiPower: Are those road sweepers at Euston and Victoria stations diasporans?
Are those on early morning cleaning also diasporans?
Are the security guards diasporans?
Are the care workers and factory workers diasporans?
Those are the majority of Nigerians outside Nigeria.
Heck, they live hand to mouth daily. Yet in the process
of gagging and trying to create new identities, they label themselves
as "diasporans" just to feel better than the rest. It's naff!

I'm Nigerian and I love Nigeria.

Foreign Affairs / Re: US Ambassador Killed In Libya Consulate Attack by mickjagger(m): 1:34am On Sep 13, 2012
The West is being led by idiots-either that or it's an evil, deliberate plan to instigate World War:-

1. Why is the West supporting Al-Qaeda / Muslim brotherhood to overthrow governments in Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8407047/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html

2. The US is in debt to the tune of 16 Trillion dollars. The Eurozone to the tune of 10Trillion Dollars. The world is going to hell in a handcart and these fools do not know what to do.

3.Iran is another high priority for "regime change". First, is has the 4th biggest reserves, and second, it has a nuclear programme. For this reason the Israelis want to and will strike Iran, but are being held back by the West while it's election season in the US. This is why the head of MI6 was sent to talk to Netanyahu this week. Worst of all, from an American perspective, is that Tehran has set up its own oil bourse and is selling its oil in denominations other than USD, especially to its biggest customer, China.

So regime change here seems easy to predict, but it's more complex than that because Ahmedinejad is no fool. Tehran has given over large swathes of Iranian oil fields to the Chinese who are investing billions in them and have essentially made them Chinese zones. They can and do move Chinese military in and out of them and Beijing has stated that any attack on them will be considered an attack on Chinese sovereign territory.

4. This will not end well.

NATO, The USA, France and Britain have this man's blood on their hands.


They armed and financed the so-called "rebels" and "freedom fighters" to sodomize Ghadaffi and totally destroyed Libya.


Fcking cowards. They are doing the same in Syria.

No wonder the Western countries / economies are going down, down, down.

so does having a decent job guarantee a good life to you? regardless of the political and well functional infrastructures?


Listen, mate, what Iam saying is that if you have an artisan trade-as a welder, painter, construction worker, plumber, mechanic, driver, etc-then by all means go to Canada, plenty of those jobs lying around.

However, why go to University, obtain a Masters's or PHD to do kpeke work, surviving paycheck to paycheck and saddled with credit (debt), that you can never be able to pay back? When I visited there, every other cab driver or waitress in Ottawa seemed to have a Master's or PHD. cry

As they say, different strokes for different folks.
Travel / Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by mickjagger(m): 1:55pm On Jul 02, 2012
Canada is a country with no jobs for new immigrants, regardless of however suitably qualified they are, young or senior. Even the simple blue-collar jobs are hard to find. But most of the immigrants are highly educated in their respective fields. They have migrated to Canada with the hope of being able to land at least something close to their white-collar professions left behind.

Following at least six months to two years of frantic job searching, the new immigrants (doctors, engineers, professors, bankers, business executives) are forced to take up ordinary low-paid jobs as factory workers, security guards, waiters or in supermarkets, call centres or convenience stores, which lead to their low morale and low self-esteem. Even such works — to the detriment of both health and mind — are sometimes hard to find. This is really heartbreaking as it is demoralizing at the same time leaving them in a state of despair and despondency.

Canada remains depressing for new immigrants especially for the educated. Until recognition is given to them by creating ample opportunities for jobs it would remain so — a shattered dream.
