When I moved to the U. K for my master. I stay in an flat which consist of many white English boys. So an England boy called Harry decided to show me the equipment in the apartment. So when we got to the kitchen he show me a dish washer which I did not care to look at and he responded that have I see a dish washer before? I was shock and told him of course have seen a dish washer and he reply that I did not want to sound rude but africa are poor and always hungry and I reply him do I look like someone that is poor and hungry and his respond was you are from the rich family in Africa and I told him clearly my parents are not rich that am just an average Nigerian boy and he his reply was it is impossible that you are either rich or poor in Africa and my response was that he should stop believing the propaganda been pass by CNN and BBC about Africa.

After that we bonded and we usually teese ourself and crack jokes. So during December period I was infected with covid 19 which all. Of them in the house have travel to their family home to spend Christmas and new year holiday. So during that mid January on Friday I was in the parlour with my white flatmates and we where just joking and catching fun then we started to talk about covid and I told them during the time they travel I contacted covid and Harry reply that he is going to kill me so I laugh and I thought it was one of the joke but he said he mean it and I started telling him that so do u expect me to call u in your family home and tell u I contacted covid and the others white where explaining to him and this guy started using abusing words against me telling me to return back to Africa and saying some nasty words about Africa and I told him if u have brief with me then challange me and stop picking on my continent and colour and he told me that he is going to insult my colour and continent that if I want to fight him then we should go to the garden to fight as man to man. I was just saying in my mind this man is looking for someone to kill him. I just ignore him and when I stop replying him he just calm down and left. What pain me most was when he left then all the white guys told me his crazy that I should not answer him and I was like when he was insulting me racially all of u where just watching him as if nothing happen. After some time he came back to the parlour and apologise to everyone except me for been a nusiance and after that he wanted to discuss with me and I shouted at him saying back off. After sometime he wanted talking to me and I just ignore him as if nobody is talking and after talking I just close my laptop and gave him a bad gesture and left the palour then he reply that I am looking at him as a vallian that he is not a bad guy.

The next day his girlfriend came visiting him and was smiling at me and i just reply her with a bone face and left. Then after sometime he came apologising to me that what he did to me was wrong that he did it under the influence of acholol which I know but I said to myself for him to say this to me when he was drunk meaning he has been harbouring such thoughts in his mind and the alcohol just gave him the courage to express his racist characters to me. I told him I forgive him but right now I don't trust any English people or white people because for such a guy to laugh and joke with u and still be a racist his something terrible. Abeg make una give bristish chance.

Run from that house make then no kill you.

mtswww op fuccck u if i were u we must exchange blows in the garden as he suggested op u disgrace us by not beating him

Dude...better be careful!
My landlord is an elderly black man and he has told me a lot of his life's stories with whites. Of course I cannot confirm the accuracy or validity of his stories but what would he gain from cooking up stories. So I believe him completely.
I have not experienced any issues myself but those stories ring in my head daily and cos of that I am extra careful when conversing with any white. I have white friends and I love them all but I do not loose guard one bit. As long as you are black here you have to take extra care in all you do.

so if i went to uk i will be living in fear everyday?

It's normal thing to be discriminated upon.do U know that even folks who marry white folks have quarrels and the white counterpart insults the whole black race.its in their blood ,the best you can do is when they insult or discriminate against you ,U absorb it or give them a hot one back to tell them you self can discriminate against them .anyway ,it's an offence here to say racial words against someone but the truth is that many people do it and nobody does anything about it.If you have time ,U can sue the person if you have proofs .you win some money if you win the case

I don't believe in the white and black disparity, even if talked down on based on my race, I will still mingle because I am there for business.

True.
Even back home here, there's disparity.
Infact on Nairaland here.

What is racial abuse by the way?

You can be abused by anybody, either your rich boss, uncle, someone finer than you and you OP might have abused someone before maybe someone your better than so why the noise because a white insulted you, are you not black before ?

You had misunderstanding with him and insulted you based on who you are and your raising dust abi Africa no be your continent again?

I hate crying victim in every slight dealing with the whites.

Racism and xenophobia, which do you prefer?
White people are more accommodating and nice compared to blacks whether you accept it or not...
how many times have you seen white people in their hundreds going out in their streets to carry out xenophobia on blacks in their countries, compared to how fellow africans in Ghana and south africa attack and kill other blacks in their Countries. ??
by the time you experience racism from a black american just because you are from Africa, you will prefer white racism ..
Mtcheww tribalists crying about racism

Na that black American racism dey vex me pass...Lord knows when I began to show that boy my lagos ways...fear no gree am come meet me ask me question.

Till today ill rather work with a clearly racist white person than a friendly black American...those ones will block your progress wether you are good or not and they gossip like they pay them money for it. They cant hold information for 10 minutes...the whole company go don know wetin happen now now now.

White man will give you chance as long as it will bring him financial profit. But at least you know clearly know where both of you stand. Black American go dey laugh with you but sees you as an enemy that must be destroyed.

I always remind myself that its not friendship or love that I came to do in this place. Na Lagos be my home.
this place na office.

Gossiping, backbiting, malicing (if there's any word like that).

We that are home-based are also experiencing the same thing too...

This must be a story cos how did he pass English proficiency test

Bro you are right about black American, they’re very racist to black people from Africa. I had a very bad experience with them, saying nasty things about black African

walemoney007:
Finnish are racist

Nah those places e worst pass sef

Black people no too dey there.

Lol I read his comment, wanted to reply but was like forget it. Someone that thinks Finnish people are not racist, tells me had a mind of there are some good white people out there that will accept my black ass. Finland is very homogeneous so you will be regarded as a curiosity, but doesn't mean they like you.

KosiGee:
For someone on his Masters degree in a UK university, your write up was horrible and very hard to read.

You should’ve complained to your landlord about Harry’s racism. He is an idiot who took advantage of your timidity.

When you got Covid, you should’ve made everyone aware via your flat’s WhatsApp group chat. If you didn’t have one, you should’ve sent messages to your mates or to the landlord to inform them.
What you did was wrong, anyone of them could’ve come back before your isolation period.

There a lot of Chinese students who can barely speak English, but who are geniuses in their chosen field. Same applies to a lot of Africans. While it's good to speak good English, speaking good English is no sign of intelligence.

God bless you my brother ...... I suffered this same thing in Benin from a woman who claims to be born again and was my boss , telling me that the over all boss said there's no job for non Edo people. You see that racism is not only in white land but it's here but not pronounced.

Right001:
If u can take bullshit from white people then Good luck to u.

Op you were wrong for not telling them. Anyone could have come back in the isolation period or when u were still positve. This same thing happened in my friend's office in Nigeria and it brought about quarrel in the office and the hr had to be involved. You were wrong in the first place.

BSsniffer:
Having a good command of English isn't a metric for having an interesting write-up, anyone with common intelligence would clearly understand what he's saying.

Not everyone. Clarity in communication is sacrosanct.

But you yorubas do worse to other tribes here in Nigeria.. I have been visiting the UK since childhood infact my sister and 90 percent of my family live there as citizens we have never experienced racism.. Bros it is the karma you sow you are reaping


Goodluck

If not that i am matured,i would have insulted you for lying,how can you tell me that your family grew up in United Kingdom and has never experienced racism before.

And you think your tribe is better than the Yorubas. You have never experienced racism but you are a bigot toward black people.

PlayerMeji:
Oga, you don't need to be mad at him.

Just tell him what the media says about an average young British.

Tell him about the knife stabbings, the hooliganism, idleness, etc... Tell him those were what you have been hearing from CNN and VOA..

Case closed, thank me later...

Whites and racism eeh! They are the real savages.

Whites are real savage animals, but our excessive admiration for their ways blinds us to their animal like behaviour. Imagine insulting and persecuting someone because of his race!

An average oyinbo in the UK will always want to talk down on blacks because of some thrash news and bad governance in our African continent....but there are lots of problems also in the UK...
Presently I'm in the UK....we employed a white lady to clean our toilet and wash our kitchen...
They will always want you to lose your self-esteem to them...but if you know your worth and you understand how the UK works...you will give it back to them...they are still living on the past glory...most of the sector of their economy is also being developed by foreigners...
And aside from speaking all their Newcastle and York English ascent lots of them doesn't have good educational certificate...

The cleaner you guys employed is certainly not a briton

You're doing Masters in the UK, yet you can't write properly?

Nawaoo!

I hope you haven't made a mess of our education over there

Meanwhile, must you be friends with them? I only relate with those motherfuckers professionally
Outside that, we have no other business. You can't change their racist nature no matter how hard you try.

Your english construction is so poor no wonder the guy picked on u. White ppl are racists. I never had a Russian boy as a friend when I was studying in Russia..I was only fvcking the girls.

My boss was from England... I have helped him spell two or more times when he wasn't with his laptop ... I don't even know what people think English language was... Just one out of many official languages spoken on this planet...

Some feels that once u speak fluently or type nicely, that was intelligence...Was that mindset not Inferiority complex at it's best...

The Japanese or Chinese who were doing so well around the world can hardly speak English...

In Nigeria, we're taught in English. So, somehow, English is a test of our intelligence
How would you convince us that you're good in you profession if you don't have a good understanding of the language with which you were taught?
I have never seen an intelligent Nigerian who can't write good English

The Japanese/Chinese, unlike us, are not taught in English. So, there's no comparison there.

This is a normal thing in china lol.

Instead of fighting with the guy. Just educate him. My Chinese colleague was shocked when I showed him some of the big houses we have in Nigeria.

Most of them are ignorant.

Is Osinbanjo intelligent?
