great, learn from this conversation and tone down the elitism.
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..

Imagine him telling me, a stranger he knows nothing about, that "I will deal with you." An example of bossy, condescending Nigerians who think they are above others. Who asked him what job he does before telling the whole world he runs a trading company in the UK? An example of Nigerians always willing to show off. And yet he claims that he and his fellow Nigerians aren't toxic, but he is on the internet being toxic against strangers, calling then offensive names. An example of Nigerians being hypocritical. Such a person shouldn't be paid any attention.
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..

Ok we are now on the same page and I agree, but comparatively the jews, Indians are more co operative than blacks/ Nigerians whichever way you look at it.

They have more racial self awareness despite those divisions.

Eg a dalit will rather co operate with a Brahmin abroad than to co operate with a Nigerian, unless there's an imbalance of power.
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.... cheesy

Trust me, my iq points are high, confirmed by academic outcomes and tests.

You're the one with low comprehension skills, i didn't say educated people don't have better outcomes, i said different races have a better mindset of co operation and don't indulge in the petty mindsets that thrives in black communities like look at my car ..

True, elitism exists among Europeans especially the brits , but just make sure you can back it up with millions of pounds,as we all know there's little difference in the quality of life of someone earning 50k and others earning 30k , because the progressive tax equalises thing's.


So get the fck out of here with the bs.
No your message to me said simply

jajeri3216: The elitist attitude we're talking about.

Thanks for exposing yourself
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..

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

What nonsense! I am a black man born in east london, i have been out with a lot of young white girls and even older ones, during my school days, I fuccked and dumped alot of white girls, I have picked up one night stands pretty young and old white women, so adon't know what you are on about.
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.

Not only in the church, but also anywhere Nigerians predominantly are. Check Nigerian organizations, even some campus organizations such as African Students Organizations and compare them to European Students (or Lantinx) Organizations. Check hospitals where Nigerians form the majority of nurses and check how they interact with each other. Now, compare the relationships of Nigerians in America to Indians or Chinese in America, and you'll find a stark difference. This shows that the problem of Nigeria isn't just the leaders but the people, and this is justified because the leaders come from among the people. And the weird thing is that when I discuss these things with other Africans in America such as Ghanaians and east Africans, they mention the same problems in their own communities too. Probably why Africa is the way it is today.
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...

Where did you get your education?!

I blamed North not One person or the President... Atleast Buhari got basic and military education, sent all his kids to best schools in the world, married just one woman except for divorce

You can't keep disgracing Nigeria and Muslim Ummahs accross well to do Muslim countries and always run from criticism ... I have travelled to Oman , Qatar, Saudi and UAE and ofcoarse Northern Nigeria... Northern Nigeria is a big shame to islam

Stop nonsense Almajiri system, goto school and attend Quranic school later in the day like Saudi kids do

Stop giving birth endlessly if you don't have means and your agriculture is not enough

Stop seeing Almajiri , Boko Haram and Bandits as the same as Yahoo Yahoo... Yahoo takes from rich in Countries with Kafir.. You in the North Kidnap Your own brothers and children for some stupid rape and also ransom money you spend on drugs and having sex to give birth


Too many Monafiq up North ashamed of simple truth.... Atleast you people visit Saudi, even Northern Africa ..... You guys make us Muslim ashamed

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.

You cannot become a giant of a continent by the success of a small slice of a city of huge country like Nigeria.
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.

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..
