KingCold:
You need to aks yourself that out of all Africans why is it Nigerians that have the worst reputations

Because we don't a lot of good things going on to balance the bad news coming out of the country.

South Africa has the highest kidnapping and carjacking rates in Africa but because South Africa has a lot of good things going on in the country, the bad news is somewhat overshadowed.

Nigeria has nothing like that. It's just one bad news after the other.

Hopefully things change soon, so that our people can come back home to where they are valued.

KingCold:
South Africans don't export criminals to Nigeria, my friend, that's a huge distinction. Is it too much to ask that Nigerians also behave while they're here?

You know there's a reality TV show here in SA where they go nabbing drug dealers and 98% of those caught are Nigerians. what perception do you think it's created? South Africa has immigrants from all over the continent but the ones always standing out due to bad behavior are Zimbabweans and Nigerians..why's that?

You people's feelings are valid. Nobody will say otherwise. It is not too much to ask migrants to be law abiding.

And when one of these migrants commits a crime, you deal with that person not the group. The behaviour of one person is not proof that everyone is a criminal. Like I said earlier, it is very easy to hate a group of people.

Now as for the reality TV show, I don't have enough information to comment on that but I know that majority of Nigerians in your country just want to work and make money. I personally have a few relatives abroad (none in SA) and all of them just want to work.

Nigerians were crying xenophobia not because you people punished the criminals but because of the extreme hate directed at a group of people just because of the sins of a few.

We are not all criminals.

KingCold:
it's what they do best but the quickest to scream "xenophobia!

It is not what we do best. Yes, some Nigerians are criminals but which nation does not have criminals?

Nigerians are hardworking and resourceful. Crime sells, bad news sells so we always hear the bad news.

Lionessza6:
How I wish we could put all these scum people into slavery like they are used to back in their home country. Now this dirty flat -headed kwerekwere will be fed by our taxes . Spits. Now I see why Libyans treats them the way they do.

No Nigerian here is supporting him. We are all mad at him for disgracing us publicly but you don't see that, do you? To you every Nigerian is a criminal.

Hate is a basic instinct. It is very easy to hate a group of people because it doesn't require much brain power to hate. It takes an intelligent person to rise above hate.

Be an intelligent person.

Ilamina, don't you think it's best if you open a thread in the diary section to share your thoughts instead of all these?

You're just exposing yourself to ridicule.

Now this is justice.

I would like to know the sample size. And the background, religious views, age, gender etc of the participants.

The masses are easily deceived.

This may be true because of our currency.
Honestly, Nigeria matter go long.

obinna58:
Are you stuck in romance section? what other topic topics were you expecting

Don't mind the yeye man

DMerciful:
Check your link very well. Germans are the highest as shown

Don't you think that census. Gov is a more reputable source than yours?

KingCold:
Why does it seem this type of thinking is pervasive in your country? We live alongside whites here in SA but we do not hold them in such a pedestal like you do..what's the reason for this?

Don't mind Nigerians. They like to put the whites on a pedestal.

It is quite sad to be honest.

smileyoo:
lol. Pls can you name any black African country, that is doing fine and have a working system comparable to the white Europeans ?
you guys should stop living in delusions, rather accept the reality and seek for solutions.
African nations have despicable leaders and gullible citizens/followers.
Seeking for mentorship from those who know the way is never a symbol of inferiority complex.
even most of these nations you ignorantly mentioned benefitted much from the technological transfer from the European nations and USA .

You are missing the point completely. Please go back and read the thread. The point we are arguing is the fact that there is something inherently wrong with blacks. That's the point I don't agree with and am trying to counter.

Anybody with a brain cell knows that Africa needs support, a lot of it.

franchasofficia:
What is the meaning of "inferior"? Who said Africans are inferior? This is where you blacks get it wrong.

I never said Africans are inferior.

In life, every human have his area of competitive advantage.

Some humans are good in high jump while others in long jump, another in football, others in weight lifting. Some are expert in boxing, others are in singing. While some are amazing dancers, etc, etc, that is how this works.


Glaring everyday evidences abound all over the world to prove that black people are not as gifted in certain areas of life as the white folks.

Blacks lack leadership skills when compared to whites. Yes some blacks may have exceptional leadership skills like the whites but it's not common among blacks, so we are looking at the majority, the dominant factor.


Whites are more gifted in science, technology and innovation than blacks. Remember, some blacks are also gifted in this area but they are few and not the majority when compared to whites.


I can go on and on, but we all know the truth that without white people, this world would have been unliveable for us, let's try and be honest and appreciate the truth.

Accepting your weakness is not a weakness but a greater form of intelligence and the number one step towards finding a working solution.

Knowing your weakness and refusing to accept it is one of the greatest form of foolishness and arrogance which can also be classified as senseless egocentrism.


Are blacks inferior to whites or any other race? NO! But white people do have some enviable traits we blacks lack and that is why they have been the race championing global innovation and advancement in virtually all fields of life, I cherish white people a lot.



I know I may still end up having a mixed breed child with a pure Caucasian woman, maybe because I so much love to whites for their innovation and advancement

Causasian dominance in science, technology and innovation is recent. Please do your findings.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with blacks. We have some issues yes but those issues has nothing to do with anything inherent or innate. Other nations had a good headstart, almost all Sub-Saharan countries is relatively young compared to the people you so worship.

Again I will advise you to read that book I recommended, it will open your eyes and mind.

franchasofficia:
They learned from Europeans.

And these countries are not black skin people.


They have similarity with whites. You won't understand because you are still in basic human education of probably university degree or msc, when you study higher and do more research about humans you will understand our flaws as blacks without ego

First of all, which field of study gave you empirical evidence that Africans are inferior?

Please be as specific as possible.

franchasofficia:
USA did it and it's one of the reasons they are the greatest country on earth.


Canada is doing it via Express Entry and other high skilled migrant programs.


Many great countries did it but here is a black man thinking foolishly that he can do all even when he knows his weakness

What about Japan or China? These countries are very homogeneous yet prosperous.

Oga you just feel inferior that's why you are like this.

I'd like you to read guns, germs and steel so you that you can cure your ignorance.

Thank you.

franchasofficia:
South African blacks are super lucky


See how white South Africans built a working country with solid foundation for them?

Nigerians it is time we start a program to attract White people from Germany, Australia, Norway, etc into Nigeria to become citizens.


If we are able to get 5 million pure European whites to become naturalized Nigerians, believe me things will begin to turn around for Nigeria in few years to come.


We can amend our constitution to reserve some key positions for their best. Positions like:

Chief Justice of Nigeria
Inspector General of Police
INEC Chairman
President of Court of Appeals
Chief of Army Staff
Commissioner of Police
Chief of Justice of States
CBN Governor
Minister of Finance

Oga shift,

If you don't have anything to contribute, rest.

While the achievement is commendable, 20 is too young an age. Like someone up there said, 30 - 40 years is ideal. She may not be taken seriously in that parliament.

I knew this would happen one day.

OriOko88:

I always give it to these western Media. Their reports about Nigeria is always apt and on point. Asif they reside in Nigeria. Cmon

The author of the article is a Nigerian living in Kano

Nahunger:


On my way to market with 12k chatgpt don drop update

In this present-day Nigeria?
Dey play

The whole saga is proof that NPFL still has a long way to go.

It was very embarrassing to say the least.

The emergency number is 112 not 122.
Not that it works perfectly sha, just wanted to let you know.

budaatum:
Stop commenting if you haven't got anything intelligent to say.

Madam leave these people alone please. They resort to insults whenever they are losing an argument. You can't reason with them.

Biafra is a very controversial topic right now. And Simon Ekpa is not helping with his radical stance and actions which are driving would be sympathisers away. So Biafra is a no-go topic for the people that would have lobbied for a memorial.

I also think that both sides are trying to bury the issue in the name of national unity.

The wound is still fresh and we still have people who witnessed the war still living so who knows, maybe the next generation create the memorial.

I think we need it.

Anyone against this bill is an enemy of Nigeria. Of course the bill needs tinkering but the premise is sound.

SAY NO TO OPEN GRAZING

Oga you are just dumb but you are already far down the rabbit hole 🕳 so there is nothing anyone can do to change.

Nairaland does not want us to see it but you've been spamming alot of threads with this nonsense. Ndi Ara.

Na who police catch be criminal

She will be alright last last. In a few years people will forget all this.

Ezmans:
I have read this thread & comments but have never seen anyone mention tribe on this topic, this is a very big lesson for me today

You spoke too soon

franchasofficia:
Whenever you hear that a Nigerian committed financial crime that has to do with wire wire, money transfer, money laundering and identity theft, look no further, that person must be a Yoruba person.


If it involves trafficking drug, it is most likely an Omo Igbo



But if it involves carrying bomb and killing people for Allah, leave am for Hausa-Fulanis, na them love Allah pass for Islam

Iceberg3:
Really.
But what makes you think we will sit down and fold our hands and allow the Igbos or any other group come take our lands?!

How do you think someone people will just come and tamper with the land of the old Edo/Benin kingdom?!

I just feel like we should start talking now before it becomes too late.
