Is This America Or Is This Oshodi? by Reflect7: 3:47am On Sep 25, 2021 |
Is This America or Is This Oshodi? Welcome to Philadelphia, USA, where walking zombies, many homeless, poverty-stricken, high on meth, codeine, crack, heroin, and other deadly drugs, fill city streets! Many pack guns underneath their shabby clothes, so you dare not start an argument with any of them or it's goodbye Mama! The America CNN will never show you!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex1IFzTS1FI 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Apologies to Oshodi residents. At least in Oshodi, you can accost a beggar and scold him to go and find work instead of begging. In Philly, you don't try that. If you can't give, just shush and walk on by. Don't talk. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

What is the basis for comparism? Every country in the world has a slum. Besides, most of these settlements are occupied by immigrants. I would rather be in a slum in American than to be in a city in Nigeria where bandits and Boko Haram are having a field day while the government looks away. 55 Likes 1 Share |

chinjo: Abeg shut up. Is the US government not ''looking away'' as 40,000 Americans are shot dead annually by THEIR versions of Boko Haram, Bandits, and Unknown Gunmen? As 70,000 Americans die from opioid overdose annually while US border officials turn millionaires through bribes from Mexican drug traffickers? And 99.9% of people you see in that video and in similar settings are full-blooded, born-and-bred Americans, not 'immigrants'. You really should not come online to tell lies and misrepresent facts. Plus, which city do you live in in Nigeria, and why have the bandits not gotten to you, since they are everywhere, in your head? 99.9% of you hear about 'bandits' and 'Boko Haram' on television, but they have ZERO impact on your daily existence. 28 Likes 6 Shares |

This is the hidden white America you will never see all over the news. Meth and opioids heads everywhere, and they aren't even arrested but given hot meals, clothing and clean needles by the cops to inject their drugs. In the white community it's called a sickness that needs rehabilitation. There are white areas like this all across the US and there always have been. Black and Latino addicts are beaten and arrested. In the black and Latino community it's called a crime and they must be incarcerated. Two Americas!!! 25 Likes 1 Share |
