iamjavadem:
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.

AlphaTaikun:

What kind of name is that? Ngozi Fulani? Background checks have to be done to make sure she
isn't a dodgy woman.

Gemma11:




There have been Black people in Britain since the beginning of time. This book was written in the 1800s.

Black Britons exist. Please do your research.

jimetagambo:


The Royal family is a racist institution. This is not surprising.

But I don't fully understand the intent of the woman for asking such questions, so I can't conclude. Could it be racism or just a question out of curiosity (based on the name). Only lady SH can tell.

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

TheChameleon:
Look at those cocoyam arms and imagine the yam legs ....

If the thing pain am well, make she return to the slums of Aba or Onitsha.



Most of her folks call Lagos - Heaven, you come see Heaven Pro Max - London...

You dey complain.

youn:


My question is why spend all this time to hate on people, I still don’t understand what is going on with Nigeria, do we really have to hate each other ?

Elidrisy20:
I see no racism in this conversation, as you come dress like monkey, she needs clearification

KwaraRat:


That was a slave and you know it.

naptu2:


Obadele Thompson, Nehanda Isoke Abiodun, Assata Olugbala Shakur, etc.

Gemma11:


Please read up and stop embarassing yourself with ignorance. Slavery was abolished in the UK in 1807. The man who wrote that book was a lawyer who was called to the british Bar in 1909.

The late Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey has apologised and resigned after she repeatedly asked a black British charity boss where she was "really" from.

Ngozi Fulani, a charity founder, was questioned about her background at the charity event at the palace on Tuesday.

Ms Fulani, said she was "totally stunned" by Prince William's godmother's comments.

The palace described the remarks as "unacceptable and deeply regrettable".

A spokesperson for Prince William said "racism has no place in our society".

"The comments were unacceptable, and it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect," they said.

Lady Hussey, 83, was a close confidante of the late Queen and accompanied her at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh last year.

'In shock'
Ms Fulani, in an interview with the Independent website, said the issue was "bigger than one individual. It's institutional racism".

"I was in shock after it happened and anybody who knows me knows I don't take this kind of nonsense," she said.

"But I had to consider so many things. As a black person, I found myself in this place where I wanted to say something but what happened would automatically be seen as my fault, it would bring [my charity] Sistah Space down.

"It would be 'oh, she has a chip on their shoulder'."

Ms Fulani said she did not want to see Lady Hussey "vilified".

An eyewitness to the conversation, Mandu Reid, told BBC News that Lady Hussey's questions had been "offensive, racist and unwelcoming".

The leader of the Women's Equality Party said she had felt a "sense of incredulity" about the exchange in which Ms Fulani was interrogated about where she was from, even though she had already explained she was born and lived in the UK.

TheGift:


Try putting yourself in the mind and shoes of a person who was born there, born British , with only a British passport, maybe you will understand Her mind set better.

BreconHills:


This unnecessary attention seeking.
I dont why people are losing resilience and strength. All this feeling and woke behaviour

When i went to the UK I was a tiny little 15 year old. I remember old ladies use to cross the road, getting served last at corner shops, being chased by NF West Ham supporters, my white girlfriend being tsk and tutted at. At 20 being asked by a policeman while parked " where are your tools?" ( implying I was a burglar) I never wrote this home in any of my letters, I simply got on with it. Previous generations had it worse.

In all these things I responded with a smile and simply got on with it.

It is true that some people are really disengaged from reality over there. Some are simply ignorant. Even in polite conversation they "put their foot in it" but you dont need to become them to answer them.

LastProphet:


Hahahahahahahaha, you are very mad ohhhhhh

Okonandmary:


being born British and being British are 2 different things

Okonandmary:


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

Okonandmary:


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?

Okonandmary:


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,

Okonandmary:


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.

sisisioge:


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.

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.

OLAADEGBU:


It is a choice to take pride in your ethnicity, it's not by force.

OLAADEGBU:


You wouldn't understand this because you are or were an immigrant.

Svoboda:


Wrong..

Does nationality have anything to do with color?

zztop:


From a Nigerian perspective, it may appear to be an innocent question, but it is not. The fact that she said "we got there in the end", shows she has no respect for the person she is talking too, she feel privilege and thought she could intimidate. Ngozi was not having any of it. I have seen such behaviour before.

Years ago when I use to work in the shop, a lady came in to the shop , the girl attending to her was British of Caribbean origin. She wanted an extra carrier bag but instead of her to ask politely, she said something like give me another bag, talking like if she was talking to one of her servants. The shop attendance said Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The lady said oh I have never been humiliated like this before in my life.

Ngozi Fulani is most likely British of Caribbean origin or American.

Sometimes you have to bring them down a peg or two and remind them that the slave trade is over!

Okonandmary:


the highlighted is not true, this was an attempt by anti racist group to revise history

We became part of the British empire in 1901

Our first interaction with British people was during slavery when some of our people were trading their fellow black people with the British, Spanish, pourtugese and others
