jajeri3216:Me saying what I do isn’t elitism.. lol It’s like seeing a guy driving a rolls Royce. some people will say he is showing off, I usually ask that person who says that perhaps it is your reaction seeing him or her in that car that you need to question. Not once have I said I have loads of money. I have merely said “don’t talk Nigerians down”. It is unhelpful. Other groups aren’t as united as you think. I have seen Nigerians work successfully in all spheres of life. nothing more.. It is you who has said I am elitist, without a clear explanation of why.. |
yemiosinbajo:Stop moaning and answer my point... You were the one running down Nigerians and once I called you out you couldn’t take it.. Well maybe think before running your mouth.. |
jajeri3216:Haven’t spoken about money once.. Only work |
jajeri3216:As a race yes, other black groups have no sense of national or ethnic loyalty. This why they often fail.. But if I am in the City of London or Wall Street, trust me our Nigerian people trust each other more than anyone else except for a few sellouts.. In fact I learnt the importance of ethnic loyalty in the west not Nigeria. You are right that these groups will cooperate more with each other as a diaspora. Indians are shameless when it comes to promoting their own. Even when they are less skilled.. it is a sight to behold.. Rama clutching a basic comp sci degree from some unknown Indian uni being chosen over a white man who has a PhD from Harvard, Oxford MSc and MIT BSc LMAO.... ![]() |
jajeri3216:Nope just another Nigerian who works hard everyday to succeed. pele e pain am... ![]() |
jajeri3216:No your message to me said simply jajeri3216: The elitist attitude we're talking about.So don’t tell lies. Especially when I was talking about the different socio economic outcomes of middle class and upper class Nigerians who migrated to the UK I’m the 80s. If your point is different races have a better mindset of cooperation, again you don’t know what you are talking about. Take Jewish people, I know them well as I do business with them often. Once you climb the socio economic you start to meet the other players and I will give it to this group they’re very shrewd. But they are not as united as you think. Sephardic Jews who come from Arabian regions don’t always get along with Ashkenazi Jews who hail from Europe. They often go to separate Synagogues which they call Shuls, this occurs even in New York!!! How do I know this, my Jewish associated kindly told me. Next Indians, as well know mercantilist group. Light skinned Indians from the North west of India from cities like Mumbai don’t like darker skined Tamils from the Southbwho are heavily involved in IT in cities like Chennai and Bangalore. They don’t even like to see another of their number succeed if they are no gaining. So much for unity... I know this because I started out a programmer in Java before building trading platforms.. Chinese are similarly divided Cantonese speakers from Hong Kong don’t like Mandarin speaking mainlanders.. so get your facts straights few groups are as united as you think.. I get tired of this silly mindset of always talking down Nigerians. You may have a lot of self hate but I don’t. Nigerians especially the Yoruba and Igbo have a lot to offer this world and I have seen it first hand.. |
jajeri3216:This is the same for all ethnic groups.. Did the Agrian Sephardi Jews do as well as Ashkenazi Jews from Industrial Europe when they emigrated to Israel? Did working class Hispanics do as well as well educated Cuban Hispanics who fled Fidel Castros Cuba to America? Did Hmong Asian migrants fair as well as well educated Japanese immigrants when fleeing to America? NO Instead of trying to take offence, understand the point.. Nigerians and taking offence, especially when they aren’t well versed in economic history. Read some Thomas Sowell before responding |
gypsey:Rubbish, Most black men in the UK don’t get with attractive white women. Most of them are low status women who aren’t that popular amongst their own people. You maybe the exception but I have mostly seen black men with overweight and ugly women acting as if they have got the prize.. (UK and US) Please don’t tell lies.. As for black women they have it even worse, white men generally are not interested in dating black women. Although to be fair black women’s preference is for black men. The shame of black men especially West Indians and native African Americans is that their preference is foolishly for any other women other than black. Nigerian men in the west aren’t as bad but they are catching up with this nonsense. |
yemiosinbajo:Speak for yourself, I have spent time with the upper and middle class Nigerians in the UK who fled Nigeria in the 80s.. Their children have largely excelled and they all get along well.. Working class Nigerians have struggled more, institutional racism combined with starting from a lower base makes things harder... Also Nigerians are capable of running successful institutions, I can think of two successful fund managers and another who owns a successful pharmaceutical company. Just because you don’t know them or haven’t seen them doesn’t mean they don’t exist... |
complexBoss12:LMAO ![]() |
Exc2000:Well said.. Don’t know who you are, but you have already said what I would say.. You have been fair as well. I have lost count of how many times I have said even compared to advanced Muslim nations the North is a failure. Let the south copy America or UK. But since that model is too liberal then these clowns could at least take inspiration from say UAE or Oman. But no.. I have said it before, either we the South rule for now come 2023 or you know the rest. |
Uchek:One city Hong Kong, it was the first successful Chinese city, the rest copied its economic model.. Learn some economic history before showing your ignorance... Shenzhen arguably the most technologically advanced city in China if not the world is the son of Hong Kong. While there are a lot of problems with Eko Atlantic (foreign contractors given rights to develop a prime part of Nigerian shoreline which would never happen in any other nation, lack of government backing, slow pace and incomplete landfill) . It may well serve as a spur to development elsewhere in Lagos and Nigeria if successful. |
plaindealer:Which region am I from? Lol Brave talk, but the leaders from your region have more sense, they launch operation python dance and crocodile smile at the first sign the south is moving towards independence.. As they know without the South your people will starve.. Look up and see your kin in Chad and Niger, do they live well? Lol ![]() |
plaindealer:Mumu I love Nigeria, I just don’t love it’s bad leaders, especially those from a specific region. They have shown themselves to be useless everytime.. Unlike you who will shout sai baba even when jihadis come for your wife and children Mtcheww shame.. |
That poor boy is worked like a dog by his greedy parents.. Shame on them.. |
The EU doesn’t know Nigeria.. 1. It was all staged 2. If it wasn’t staged what was given to get these kids returned? Also how have the perpetrators not been found..? Mtcheww |
Northerners have no shame... By hook or by crook they will do anything to rig 2023 |
If this is true, was Nnamdi Kanu wrong when he spoke about the dangers of uncontrolled islamic fundamentalism in Northern Nigeria. Mtcheww.... Such a shame.. |
piper7:Slave mentality mtcheww... |
Of course my computer, it wont lie to me and makes me money!!! ![]() |
Haha didn't we warn the Zombies the crimes of this govt would not go unnoticed... ![]() They didn't hear word, now look... Fools.. ICC go after them with FULL FORCE!!!! |
drmuri:There is no good to be found in a man who engages in ethnic bigotry, anti democratic policies and kills his opponents... |
The north being the north.. At this point I don’t care... |
helinues:So against all of his ills, a simple train line is all it takes for you to sing his praise.. wow Welcome development, but every major town in Naija should be connected by rail by now |
Rigged elections and shame on those who helped rigged it. Even if the people didn’t want PDP they would have chosen independents. After Lekki tollgate you want me to believe Lagosians voted for APC in droves again.. Mtcheww, our political class have no shame.... Warning about what they will try in 2023... |
ToluNazzal:Case closed |
Wike, Ohaneze and their poorly made up lies... IPOB decided to bomb a church late at night?? We dont have any pictures of the so called attack. IPOB supporters themselves have never been caught with guns or ammunition?? IPOB supporters have been accused of killing soldiers, but this has never been backed up by pictures. Whenever IPOB has carried out protests and the military intervene IPOB members wind up dead (confirmed with pictures and video) Compare the above to Boko Haram. Yet the Northern dominated political govt wants us to believe IPOB is as big a threat as Boko Haram or a even a terrorist organisation.. Mtchew lies.. |
