jesmond3945: they put money above humanity. When it happens to them nobody will offer support. Look at it this way, not everyone can afford be a Marty. Too much responsibilities at home and abroad. How many Nigerians did you see sitting on the motor way to protest about the climate change? |

jesmond3945: well I mentioned that I have no problem with racism, I even laught it off. I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, blacks should always support each other when issues of discrimination are discussed. We should not dismiss it or find a way to blame each other because we have no allies when all is lost is only a black brother that will come to the rescue. Even this thread is a testament to that. You can see Nigerians are good people with their quality advise but would prefer to relate behind the computer than physically. Sometimes a Nigerian supporting you in a discrimination case at work means they are putting their livelihood at risk. This could be a reason. |

jesmond3945: see my brother when I see racism. I know it is racism. When I went to answer a call, the resident on hearing my voice refuse to open the door and specifically told me he wanted my white colleague or is it the petty politics in the workplace. if you do a minor offence it is escalated even when your white colleague does the same. Even a resident retorted out you foreigners, even said that I am not civilized because I rang the door twice. Or is it situations were they said I steal stuff from the fridge in the staff room. In all these cases I am always positive and laugh over it. However, the problem I have with my fellow Nigerians is that we downplay these experiences instead of wrapping our arms around our brothers and sisters. We say you are pulling the racial card. Many people pass through a lot but they are always positive. Due to this letdown, many blacks don't want to relate with each other, when your own kind fails to understand or stand with you. Maybe our british citizenship and our white colleagues are making us look the other way. The black community needs to wake up. I also think we as Nigerians should remove the log from our own eyes before trying to take the splinters from that of the Europeans. In Nigeria tribalism is in your face full blown. You only need to look on some threads on this forum to know how serious this is. |

LagosismyHome: I strongly believe 99% of Nigerians hear absolutely nothing from God but if they want to keep telling themselves that they do ... then continue I’m sure they here voices in their head but they always think it’s from God. |

IcecoldDon: My online family, a wonderful day to you all. I feel so blessed and grateful for all the advice, knowledge, support and help i get from this platform directly and indirectly. My family ( wife and 3 kids) arrived safely to join me in the UK 2 weeks ago, and little by little, we have been acclimatizing and trying to settle down as a family. I have been here since October 2021, but based in Coventry as I am doing my Msc in Coventry University. But I rented a place in Birmingham as I preferred to settle there and my extended family (2 brothers) also live there. The whole process of 'japaing' with the entire family, the mental, physical, emotional and financial stress will be story for another day. Welcome and good luck for the future. |

Ray7878: I am glad you did took a screenshot. This is definitely discrimination based on your name. They know it, obviously they would try and ignore it or wish this goes away.
If I was you I would continue and write in again, ask for the steps they have taken to investigate your allegations, and honestly if they ignore you then either write to their ceo (Dame Sharon white) who is a black woman herself and detail what you went through.
Honestly this would end up in the papers if this happened to me. Enough of this sort of discrimination against Africans who have African names. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but anyone has got the right to go through your social media account, if you don’t want this you make it private. Big companies go through the Facebook account of potential employees to see if there’s anything that might adversely affect their brand. Such as derogatory comments against women, race , sexuality, religion etc. |

lanre316: I wonder what Daddy will now tell thousands of his followers he told to join IPC That IPC has stopped trading in forex and are now trading in crypto, with higher returns, but he can’t recommend it because the Nigerian government is against it. From the onset he advised to only invest what you can afford to loose. No one has lost anything. |

onibokun10: hi friends. on feb 8th i bought a train ticket online for 75P and i was scheduled to use transpennie express for my journey. i got to the train station late and i missed transpennie express. i told the train station officials about it and they said i can wait for another train going to my destination, the next train came 30mins after and it was cross country train service. i boarded and while on train i was asked for my ticket , which i showed but has transpennie express on it and also i wasnt with my student discount card. today 6th april, they reached out to me offering an administrative reconciliation of 175P or they drag me to magistrate court. pls guys what can i do? You can either contest it (by writing to them), as you were told by a staff to board the next train or you pay up and save yourself stress. |
