Talk is cheap. All this chest beats and rants only ends online.
So much for the non coward tribe.
Nah still the tears una dey cry since 1967 till this very moment since u saying "this is not 1967" lol

Lemme tell you. It is quite easy for Yoruba to leave Nigeria. The moment Yoruba unanimously agree to exit that would be the end of this county.
Yoruba doest need war to achieve that. Yoruba still remain the tribe holding this country together. The north and the east are both ethnic ad religion intolerant. The west is religion and ethnic tolerant.
But it is same Yoruba that Igbo hate most. Well the hate got nothing on Yoruba as if it already expected of intolerant folks.
If you want Biafra hold a referendums for exit. Y'all can even lobby for underground support. Igbos are only good in business but when it comes to politics man y'all poor decision making is quite pathetic

I challenge you to leave: talk is cheap, you don't have the guts brother so go and sleep, if I was sleeping and heard the yorubas beating the sound of war, I would simply go back to my sleep said Abacha, so go and rest,

BanyXchi:
where's the proof he drank poison? You can continue to delude yourself about that chestbeating coward called Ojukwu.

I swear. They will say anything to suit their narrative out of hatred.
Online cheatbeating at it best. Lol
Ojukwu started a war. Killed millions of Igbos.
The coward fled to save his pathetic life and killing over 3 million men women and children.

Awesome. I wasn't being rude. Now, you do not get offended because you probably MOVED. You're 1st Gen. Thinking you'd have the same outlook as someone born there is wrong. If you have not walked in shoes of someone who has spent all thier life in a place only to be told outrightly they don't belong there, you'd never understand what that feels like. And like I said, it's even more painful when the person has no other country to identify with. Again, there's nothing wrong with this question, but do not reject thier response like this woman did. Even if you're of the same race, it is still rude to persist. It is not just a matter of how you feel asking the question or what your intentions are, it's more about how it's received or how it makes the other party feel. Let's be considerate.

I cant argue this but I have had an experience with a fellow Nigerian who became citizen after 4yrs in Canada. In that case, we both weren't born here but he felt offended being asked the question.

mrdharkchild:


Bros!!
I nor de backyard.
Me and u be black.
Lolz.
I come your so called country, dem still treat both of us the same way.
I go back my own country, them appreciate me. If you like speak their language, them no go still rate u. Lolz

Na your family coward pass,small baby bump them carry am go UK go throway because of citizenship.

Lolz

You wey no even sabi write and probably can not enunciate your English words clearly? lol Why would they treat us the same? Those wey no sabi communicate here na dey dey treat anyhow. If say na you dey ask that question, you go collect and feel proud with complete ignorance on how you have just been humilated.
You are probably the type of Nigerian immigrant who packs shit over here and then sends all of their hard earned cash to build house in Naija white you suffer in your cold ass room complaining about racism because you lack basic communication skills to stand up for yourself....abeg shift. Same skin colour but different levels obviously.

Gemma11:


Yeah you don't get offended because you are really from somewhere else and expect that question.

This is what I mean by people comparing their immigrant experiences to that of a someone born and raised in a country. The two are not the same. Yes you share the same skin colour but it doesn't mean you have lived and breathed in the same environment, culture etc.

I was born and raised in London and I know if someone starts pestering me about where I am from, especially after hearing my accent I know immediately that they are taking the piss and so I will then proceed to tell them that I am from Lewisham Hospital, South East london.

In any case if you are an immigrant then you just won't get it but that is ok. Just don't try and dictate to others as to why you think the question is ok based on your own experience.

Well, I cant argue your case but would it hurt to say your people migrated from Togo in 1400 BC but you're all British? I have friends whose children were born here in Canada but the kids still recall that their people are from Nigeria. It's so simple.

Brutee:
Go back home and develop Africa. This is what you clowns will keep on getting. You think you're free in a white man's land? Hell no, stop running away from Africa, do the right thing, hold your African leaders accountable. Revolt against them if need be. I'm sure the idi0t lamenting doesn't even have a single investment in Africa, you think the white man love you? They're just tolerating you because you provide cheap labour, Go back to Africa and develop it. No place like home


For those quoting me asking where i have developed so far. If i was privileged like those billionaires God knows I'll never own a single property abroad. Africa first, it's time we think home.

Ogbeni sharap. From a mile away we can see you re a church rat

Where did your war got you?

If you want war you will see war.

Everyone is at liberty to act stvpid.

For every move there is a counter move

Go start the war. Then you will know if the west are cowards or not lol.

Igbo still remain the big loser of the civil war. Yet when everyone are trying to move on y'all are still dwelling in the past and opening old wounds.
If yall don't start that second civil war after 2023 election then igbos are the real coward ...

Pray the that Nigeria remain one so that you will still hide under one Nigeria and continue with your leechy life style. Lazy idiots, Fulani would have conquered you people long time ago but changed their mind because you would be liability to them, that's why you are still free and ranting like squirrel

It wouldn't hurt but then why must I justify my existence in the country I was born and raised in when someone like Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab, the current deputy PM, David Miliband etc and even King Charles who has a significant German ancestry doesn't have to do the same?

Now if your response is that they are white and I am black, therin lies the problem of racism and this is what we as Black British born on British soil are trying to stand up against.

Also I have no problems in social settings telling people my background as London is a mult-cultural city. However in formal settings, if I tell you I am British and from South London, that is the answer you should accept and move on instead of trying to act like I am hiding something. A lot of Black people are not new to the UK. My children are 3rd generation...My friend's children are 4th generation and I know people who are 6th generation Black British.

jimetagambo:

Caribbeans and Americans do give their children African first names. It's the Fulani last name that caught me by surprise. Maybe she changed her lastname (surname) herself or could have been changed by her parents, or it could be from marriage.

Kai, we Nigerians and goal shifting sha!
If the funny looking lady were in the news for let's say a ground breaking invention, her people would have been shouting Igbo Amaka right about now conveniently overlooking the part where Caribbean was mentioned
Her people were celebrating Kamala Harris not too long ago just because she is a distant in-law to an Igbo man who by all intents and purposes never visited Nigeria.
Some even claimed Igbo have started ruling the world by association
Such a warped mentality

I don't see anything wrong in the questions. All I see is someone who is not proud to say where she is from when asked. If I see a white person claiming Nigeria, I will also like to know their original country. Black people and playing victim, what a disgrace.

Okonandmary:
haha

Just because you were born in Britain, carry their passport, and speak with their accent doesn't make you a British

likewise, a white person born in Nigeria, who has a Nigerian accent, and carries a Nigerian passport also isn't a Nigerian

A black person doesn't have any traditional or historical connection with Britain


Black people, Stop trying hard to be accepted by white people

zelnababa:
NGOZI FULANI , funny name

May be she is product of rape during the war. The mum decided to make clear her heritage.

Leave that shameless tribalist alone.
Do you know that if the ugly woman were to be bearing Tolulope Fulani he would have been saying something different now.
See how he has been shouting cowards and stinking pussies up and down.
Even the woman looks like someone whose pussy will be stinking
Leave am bro, they have nothing to offer aside their usual propaganda and online noises

Too bad

A white man that doesn’t have an ascent is assumed is from there. If Boris Johnson has an accent, other white would ask him where is he from. You won’t ask a Togolese that look like you and speak Yoruba fluently where he’s from unless he speaks Yoruba with ascent. A black American friend of mine in my presence asked a white woman where she’s from because she has an accent. She answered she’s from Spain. It’s normal, it doesn’t matter what color you are. If you look different from what’s generally the norm, people ask you the question whether you’re white or black

tell them, idk why it's hard for them to understand.

That’s not a racist question. We all know what ethnic British look like. Here in the US people ask me and I ask people born with n the US but look a certain ethnicity the same question. Nothing racist about that. They would always answer me, “I was born here but originally from Mexico, Pakistan and so on

Where did I say it was a "racist question" . Please don't mix me up with some other person or issue. I have not said it was a racist question.

AfonjaConehead:

Well you are very correct...I work with foreigners and I know that very much

Its very sad the level of inferiority complex ingrained in the minds of our people.

Okonandmary:


being born British and being British are 2 different things

She is black and her parents are immigrants, so she has a country and will support her parent country no matter what,

Do you think Jamaicans and Africans are more English than English people themselves? when Jamaicans and England are playing football? who do you think the Jamaicans support?

being English means, you are white and have a deep, ancestral connection and ties with England, it is just like being igbo,yoruba or hausa,

a white man born in Nigeria and who speaks Igbo isn't an Igbo man, he is still a white man and will still have a connection with his land and will like to visit there often to know more about his people.

Even people who left to Canada in their late 30/ less than ten years ago are already calling themselves Canadian.

Even Nigerians that have never left the shores of Naija call it a failed nation and want to Japa to any country but here.

Then you expect someone who was born and brought up in Britain to identify with you just because Her parent told Her some stories of when they used to be in Africa?

Her reality is British. Everything else is story and history

This is as racist as it comes. I wonder what is worst - Racism or Tribalism?

KwaraRat:


My friend, Italians in England are proud to identify with their Italian roots. Same goes for every other nationality in the US .

You will see Greek Americans celebrating their heritage and culture.

German Americans hold their annual Oktober Fest in the US.

The Irish will be ever so proud to let you know his Irish and give you a taste of Irish hot temper .

There is China Town in the US with Chinese cuisines , martial art studios and whatnot.

A Jamaican will let you know his Jamaican .

A Latina will never shut up and will speak to you in Spanish first .

Mexicans wave their flags everywhere they are found on US soil.

So don't come here and tell us there is no ethnicity pride among those born in the US . Even to the nth generation, they will still be proud to claim their roots.

1. Who is taking about Ethnic pride

2. All these nations you spoke of are more homogeneous and uni-lingual than those from African heritage. They are still very connected to their roots and traditions. We on the other hand lost a lot of those connections by whatever means and it is easy to lose that sense of cultural identity. The same way many African Americans can't say exactly what part of Africa they come From. So you it's not the same situation bro. This is not about ethnic pride or not.

My english is so good, Canadians tell me to slow down. Pretty calm, Hey!
I got here on a very High IELTS score, I prepared 1 mo th for the test. I de Nigeria or de speak pidgin nor mean say person no sabi speak english.

Nor make me laff abeg.
I'm a robotics engineer, I am a sole part of the technology you are enjoying today.

U need proof? I can share you with my YouTube channel.

U think say them born you for UK come make you on kind special person.

I'm a proud Nigerian.
Not a coward

einsteine:


You are ignorant.

The person in question was born in that country and is not from elsewhere. It's like saying Kanye West is from somewhere else because he is in black. It is sheer idiocy to argue as you have been arguing

Label your achievements.

Been one de do say u de UK.
Who u one intimidate with that one.
Now u wanna enter education and achievements.

Again you are comparing apples with oranges.

In America with my British accent I am asked regularly where I am from and I expect it.

I do not expect to be asked where I am from in the City/country I was born, educated and raised in with my English accent. It is not acceptable because we know whoever is asking is taking the the Piss.

If you are a Nigerian immigrant who now lives in the UK, US or Canada and is asked where you from then obviously you expect it because you are not from there and have a strong accent to support that.

As I said, we Black British know ourselves. The Whites who aren't racist wouldn't ask such a question if they heard an English accent.
It is the ones who hear an English accent and still try to be cheeky who are the racists because they simply refuse to accept Black Britons exist. However those ones like this old biddy who asked the question at Buckingham Palace are dying out so we move.

It isn't out of place to ask a black person in England where his roots are as even the earliest migration to England and Britain began within living memory with Jamaican and West Indies black migrants trooping into England in the 50's.

One thing is for sure and that is their roots are not British isles .

Even a Jamaican or a Caribbean black can simply answer that they are from their respective countries.

Nothing like Black British abeg. Just call them British citizens by virtue of immigration only.

Me being born in the UK doesn't make me better than anyone born in Nigeria. However it is you Nigerians who get offended when someone like this Lady or myself emphasises that because you see it as a denial of one's roots when all it is a fact.
This is nothing but insecurity on your part because if you can say you were proudly born in Nigeria, then why can't I say I was proudly born in the UK. What is it about that that ticks you off?

The fact that you had to take an IELTS or whatever that is shows that your English is far from par. I also doubt that a robotics engineer would even have time to catch feelings over someone claiming the country they were born in.

God Bless you .. i do not know why we work intensely hard to impress the white race... is it not enough that we've learnt to speak their language and accept their culture, must we continue until we lose our identity?... what is wrong with us?

Well, Madam Ngozi Fulani accept my empathy. however, you knew her motive. you are educated and have excelled in your chosen career. That was a moment for you to be proud of your AFRICAN HERITAGE!!!!!!
