Why should he or any traveler for that matter tip immigration, custom officers or officers of any other agencies at the airport? Nigeria is terribly messed up because acts that would land people in other countries in jail are seen as normal here.

Gbam! Nigerians are their own biggest, problem.

Although I have never left the shores of this country, but I think giving #200 to the second officer could have saved you a lot of stress. Judging from the fact that you were stuck in traffic and angry with uber driver.

OMG! Mentalities like yours (just give them #200) abound in Nigeria. That is why things such as taking vacations remain out of the reach of the average Nigerian.

Nigerians shout all day everyday about their leaders being corrupt. Yet most Nigerians are corrupt. Maybe if we all tried in our little way, to be honest in our daily dealings, Nigeria would be a better place. Be the change that you want to see. After all, little drops of water make an ocean.

Finally, the Ploiticians were once common men like you and I. They were not honest in the small things, and hence lack the ability to be honest in the big things.

Your mother became a “born-again” that does not work?

No wonder your father runs away from the house!

You have younger ones too?


Sorry to say. . . . . Your parents are SHAMELESS to put such a burden on you.

Leaving will not solve the problem. You have to send your younger ones out into the STREETS!

What a sad situation with no way out!

The OP is being very uncharitable to his mother. His Mom is not working, not because she is a born again, but because she had a nervous breakdown and other mental health issues. The OP seeks to minimize her health problems by putting things off on her born again status.

OP’s mother used to be a hair dresser and supported the whole family, including the OP’s father. OP’s mother had a breakdown and ends up getting ensnared by a pastor who convinces her that hair dressing is not a godly profession. OP’s father promptly married another woman and is not taking care of his children.

OP does not seem to see this and for some strange reason, all his animus seems to be directed at the mother. Read his old thread: “What is wrong with my mother”

My advise to OP is to move out, while still helping in any little way he can. However, it is very important that he gets the right perspective, otherwise he might end up hating his Mom who was just as much a victim as himself

Men like you are the reason why i want to puke, you can't have this mindset and will have a peaceful marriage with this intended lady, it will be very hard cos in the process, she may lost herself. I believe you should Just let her go, go to the village, look 4 those girls that are semi-literate, trained by grandma. those are the types you need because they will never question you, moreover you are not looking 4 a wife but maid with this your igboitic african mentality cos only illiterate/educated illiterate igbo behave this way.
Take care

Abeg stop this afonjastic nonsense. The OP is Yoruba. So you can place his archaic mindset waaaay over there, away from Igbo people.

Funny.

No rebuttal huh? Typical! Keep wallowing ...

Continue your gung ho with them.

Whereas the origin of these black Americans are still savages, while American have given this sons and daughters of former slave masters a chance of a better life.

We blame American for slavery while we ourselves do worss to each other.

The Africans Americans that always claim a sense of entitlement in American loathe their fellow blacks living in Africa.



"I thank God for slavery… If it wasn’t for slavery, I might be
somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree".-Florida rep Kimberly Daniels

If a Florida Rep said that, she is ignorant and a pawn. You are also reacting as a pawn. The puppet master is pulling the strings and people like you and her are the obedient pawns, carrying out the masters instruction by hating yourselves. I already explained extensively on this thread. Fortunately, there are African-Americans and Nigerians (like myself) who do not fall for the ruse. You do not fight ignorance with ignorance and become a pawn to the divide and conquer tactic. Rather, you rise above and teach your brother with love and enlightenment.

my oh my.....which type of engilishi is this.....??........

oyetpel:
Why didn't African kings that owned their fellow blacks as slaves didn't build their own country.

I don't know maybe you are in America, but if blacks feel that they have entitlement to what Americans have to offer, they should be always grateful, American abolish slavery and gave them a life. We are savages look at our country.

Like I said, America was built on the back of slave labor (400 hundred years of free slave labor). American slavery was chattel slavery, of a type never seen before. So you saying the blacks should be grateful to the whites is absolute balderdash. Someone creates something abominable, then abolishes after over 400 years and they you say the victims should be grateful for the abolition?
How about not carrying the abominable act, to begin with?

Zane2point4:
unfortunately those black Americans are salvages, even today in America.
its better you marry a white woman than black American woman, they're pure salvage.
i don't root for racism nor slave trade but those people aint worth our time.

The word is savages and not salvages.
BTW, have you personally met any of these “savage” African-Americans or are you depending on their portrayal in the media? The same media that portrays you as a savage. Well, maybe you have bought into the lie that you and them are savages. You feel less than. That is why you are advocating the “whitening” of your progeny.

Penisinpenisout:
Not saying I agree with her statement, but majority of African Americans living in US got there because their grandparents where shipped from Africa. If not for that, they would be sleeping in Embassies today trying to get a visa out of here.

Pay them their reparations first for four hundred years of free and forced labor. Then we can begin to discuss if they should be grateful. American was built on the back of slave labor (that of African-Americans).

Penisinpenisout:
Imagine being this one sided.

E remain for you to add “We wiz Kangz and sheitt”. Array on with you white supremacist talking points. I am sure you will find a lot of supporters on stormfront website

Penisinpenisout:
Stop this nonsense. Take your pity party away from Nairaland. Every race has suffered one form of persecution in the past, only blacks wont learn from it, only blacks won't use it to make themselves stronger, only blacks continue to dwell on it, only blacks will allow it define their entire life. African Americans are jist 15% of American population but yet commit so much crime. Won't even bother posting statistics.

No you stop with your bullshit. African Americans do not commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. Crimes by whites is grossly under reported in the media and that is a fact. I work in the Judiciary so I should know. And so no, you do not have any worthwhile statistics to post.

Also, there is no pity party here. But willful ignorance is a sin. You have to know you past in order to appropriately chart you future. Also the acknowledgement that there is institutional racism, will only spur a person to work twice or three times as hard to overcome any obstacles in their way. Denial of what was and is, will only have the opposite effect.
Stop playing ludo, when others are playing chess.

skarlett:
LOL, Ambassador Phut, human rights advocate and defender of the slaves, please don't restrain your activism to nairaland, go to America and join the Black lives matter movement, like they even care about your existence

And what makes you feel I am not doing all of the above and more? It’s not everything that I read/disagree with on Nairaland that I respond to. Because I do not want to get dragged into an endless back and forth that leads nowhere. But every once in a while, I respond in the hopes that I might reach someone. Defensiveness is written all over your post and I leave you to it. Izizi nti ike na eso ozu ala

skarlett:
You obviously didn't see the sarcasm in my comment, shame.

BTW, I'm not the African Americans who dragged Nigeria on twitter the other day saying shit like we don't have schools, iPhones and stuff when J. Cole came to Nigeria, check here https://www.nairaland.com/4477213/americans-react-j-coles-lagos#67104873

They're the most hypocritical bunch on earth and I stopped giving a shiit about whatever is happening to them in America because they obviously harbour the same sentiments as racist whites against Africans especially Nigerians.

Well people’s attempt at sarcasm often fall flat on its face. Also Nairaland is rife with people who carry that actual mindset. So the need to execute seemlessly, any attempt at sarcasm, becomes even more important.

Yes I saw the twitter posts where some Americans were asking some ignorant questions. I did comment (if not on NL then on some other site). My opinion is that you don’t fight ignorance with ignorance. The white controlled media tells them Africans love on trees, everybody is a savage and is dying of AIDS and hunger. All in attempt to convince them that despite the atrocities they have suffered (and continue to suffer) that they are better off in America. Kind of similar to your statement that they should be grateful for racism.
The same white media now shows African Americans as being criminals, always living in the projects, deserving of nothing but death and in humane treatment. African eat it all up. The end result is that there is fear and mistrust between brothers, while the white man who is pulling all the strings and causing the chaos, paints himself as the savior who swoops around saving the day.

Ana didi asa na yi ara (Oguta dialect) seven people do not go mad at the same time. That some African Americans are ignorant does not mean that we should join them in their ignorance (that is what the puppet master wants, so as to be able to divide and conquer). If Nigerians (including our leaders) were to be more aware of this, they would be more likely to scrutinize all offers by foreigners, as opposed to letting them screw us over, every time.

justtoodark:
its not about that....blacks failed themselves....whites cant defeat us in anything if we would stop betraying ourselfs....

na blacks help whites to defeat other blacks....whites cant defeat us....they know that....

First, your username is off.

Second, you are really not making any point. askarlet saying that African-Americans should be grateful for slavery is the epitome of betrayal. It is mindsets like that bring about are maltreatment at the hands of others. Have a rethink and maybe direct your post to her.

Sensible people do not make fun of their own people that are being mistreated. What you do is come together to fight the injustice

IamaNigerianGuy:
I disagree with everything you have written.
The police did not show restraint. What you see there is fear probably borne of racism. Just by watching the video you can see that the man was clearly not in full possession of his mental faculties. He is walking down the street saying "I am King James'' Does that sound like a normal person ? Common sense would tell the officers that this man was incapable of compliance.
The police surround him then begin to bait him (1:32) he swings at the officer in anger (1:37). They are waiting for reinforcements and when these come, they begin to beat him up like thugs. Their duty is to restrain him.

I guess the only reason they didn't cap the guy was because there were cameras around.

(If not for ass-holes like Buhari what would a blackman be looking for in America ?)

I agree with you. The reasoning faculties of some of our people, leaves a lot to be desired. Beggarly reasoning, beggarly mindset, beggarly everything. Setting the stage for perpetual mistreatment.
The Police need better training and yes, their racial bias leads to them mishandling a lot of situations

delivryboy:
You looked beautiful in your photo but nothing is in your skull, that's unfortunate.

I Dey tell you. People were seen as less than human (3/4 human) hence calling them monkeys. They were treated as property (chattel), worked and beaten and raped to death for the slightest of reasons. Had their children sold away from them (families torn apart). Had their culture and everything that makes a human, stripped away from them. Those same injustices remain today, only in a more covert manner. And here you have Skarlet saying that there were fortunate for slavery. It’s better to keep one’s mouth shut, than to open it and remove all doubts about their ignorance. Speak only on what you know.

skarlett:
African Americans should be grateful for slavery, if this had happened in Nigeria, his family would be making funeral arrangements rn

Stop chatting shit.
Plenty of African Americans have been wrongly killed by the Police, while doing absolutely nothing wrong. Philando Castile was a prime example (his death video is on YouTube) and there were uncountable more like him. Killed by racist Police Officers just because of the color of their skin.
By this ignorant statement, you have insulted millions of people and their centuries old suffering of human degradation.

papoudaupolos:
very rare to see a blackman in this kind of stuation.
But white guys and their

curiosity

. ..

As a black man I cannot even trust to put my finger in a rat's cage not to talk of entering the Lion's cage.

You mean, more like stupidity??
I remember a few years ago when the little black boy (4 years d) fell into Harambe’s cage and Harambe got killed. A lot of white people vilified the little bou, implying that Harambe should not have been shot and that Harambe the gorilla (that was dragging the little boy) should have been left to do whatever, including possibly killing th 4 year old.

Now explain to me why a full grown man would open the gate and walk into a lions cage only to turn tail and run when the lion sees him? Once he turned his back to the lion, the lion was sure to attack. Everyone knows this. Why taunt the lion especially seeing as he is not spry or fleet footed. STUPIDITY of the highest order, I say. And they better not have done anything to that lion that was simply minding is business and acting like a normal, lion should.

Wroxxane:
The fact that you share the same air with rational thinking humans disgusts me. Pray tell mister, how can she solve the dispute in a 'low manner' like you said? Heck, what does low manner even mean to you? A pat on the back for the pedophile and a box of sweets for the girl to shut her mouth? Smh. I really want you to try to imagine this happening to your daughter, wife or sister and tell me how good the thought feels to you.

Some people lack empathy, so I am afraid that may not be enough. You have to bring it all the way home by asking them how they would feel if another man sodomized them against their will. Then and only then will they get the point.

musicwriter:
Nobody sold their ancestors to slavery. That's what white people told you and them, thereby, causing this sense of animosity that shouldn't have been there if we take over education to teach ourselves what our truths should be and not what white people want our truth to be.

Slavery happened by act of war, coercion, intimidation, fraud. Some AA's that are historically conscious, at least know some of the truth and they act differently. Once we realize this and they realize it also, this seeming animosity won't be there.

Both the AA's and we Africans attacking each other, remains slaves. We remain slaves on both sides because we are unable to free ourselves from the white man's indoctrination called education.

When will black people open their eyes to realize slavery is still going on in other dimensions? Do you think the white man after enslaving them for hundreds of years won't teach them to hate Africans and teach us to hate AA's as well? In teaching us to hate each other, the white man exonerates himself from blame while we fight one another!!.

The true history of slavery and slave acquisition in Africa http://www.africason.com/2016/03/the-true-history-of-slavery-and-slave.html

You are 100% correct. The white media tells African-Americans that Africa is a backward place where people live on trees, are starving, have all manners of diseases and are dependent on foreign aid. This on an attempt to convince African-Americans that their ancestors were lucky to be enslaved and brought out of that “shithole”. The same white media now also gives the skewed impression that African-Americans are all poor, all live I. projects and are criminals. Some Africans but this story hook, line and sinker. End result is that a lot of Africans and African-Americans see whites as the blameless ones and as saviors, not realizing that destruction has come and continues to come at their hands. Blacks the world over need to open their eyes and free themselves from mental slavery, which is very alive and well and is helping to keep white “supremacy” thriving.

What is this nigga saying bikonu?

African Americans to a large extent are the dregs of the society they live in, with police using their useless heads for target practice, and then living in the project selling drugs


How can am African be jealous of this kind of people bikini?

Let them face front, and we face our own

Please desist from using denigratory words that African-Americans ignorantly use on themselves, and that you have surprisingly, picked up from them.
Your response to Onechancearmy is the expected response. Black people (Africans and African-Americans) need to stop being pawns and stop allowing people knock our heads together. Musicwriters response to Onechancearmy is the best response. It will do people good if the read it and immerse themselves in the truths which it contains

Just imagine what a Lady can type? A disappointment , you are . I am the one that forcefully made Africans travel without proper documentation? People perish for lack of knowledge . You want attention, here you have it but won't go beyond these opinion of mine.[b]If you have problem with the Caucasians,then deal with it. [/b]If you find yourself in the midst of the Arabs,try to survive and if you find yourself with your like minds, then live an isolation worldview.

Cheers

If you have problems with self hate, then deal with it. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, for your mind is currently GONE. A racist white person does not even have to spew racist rhetoric against blacks, because they have successfully manipulated minions like yourself to do their dirty work for them.

Jews were prosecuted for their religion. They cried out against that. Why turn around and discriminate against people that have practiced the same religion as them for thousands of years. If you can’t see the hypocrisy on that, then I am sorry for you. BTW, most of Beta Israel are not illegal migrants. Get your facts straight.

Hati13:
Forgive me for this question, but do you favor non-African over African?

Olu317 is just a confused person and is contradicting himself all over the thread. On one hand he cries out against the Nazi’s treatment of Jews, but in the next breath he is justifying the inhuman treatment of Beta Israel by European jews. His claim is that anyone can be treated as a slave if they do not distinguish themselves. Why did he forget this “logic” when the European Jews were on the receiving end?

Olu317 has been brainwashed into being accepting of the maltreatment of his fellowing Africans

IamD18:
Which kyn Chinese igbo you de type

Teach her naw. Do not discourage her. As she de write to you in Igbo, you de reply in English while making fun of her writing. How else is she going to get better? Abi you yourself no sabi how to write in Igbo?

Even if you no sabi, both of you should practice. No laughing allowed

Thegeneralqueen:
I know you're back that's why I asked

Ordimma e ma ortu monday ce ya di oru erbenine

‘Odimma. I ma otu Monday si na di. Oru ebenine.’

Your writing is fine, just that you put in a lot of unnecessary “r’s” in your write-up.

Thegeneralqueen:
Fine sir kedu maka orlu kwanu

Make I correct your writing small.

It’s ‘Kedu maka ORU, kwanu’

L and R are sometimes used interchangeably amongst dialects. So some would say Oru, while others would say Olu, but never orlu. Orlu is just the name of a town.

Hence the name Oluchi (Work/handwork of God) can also be written as Oruchi.

RedboneSmith:
They have somewhat Mongoloid eyes and facial structure. At least the ones I can see their faces clearly in these pictures. I wonder if it is due to an independent adaptation on the part of the Negritos or it has something to do with genetic contribution from the Mongoloid race.

Studies and DNA test show that Chinese people originated from an African ancestor 80,000 years ago. I believe that ancestor was most likely Khoi/San. I believe these negrito (like the San) did not get a genetic contribution from Asians but instead made a genetic contribution. These “mongoloid features” are really african features. Some Africans that migrated to Asia, got lighter from mixing with (perhaps) the Denisovans.
It just so happens that Asians are now more populous than the source and so people now erroneously think that some Africans and negritos look like Asians, when it is in fact the other way around
