Angelfrost:
He has said nothing but facts...!

Africans, especially blacks from West Africa, have a pull-him-down mentality just like crabs in a basket.

The concept of uniting and supporting one another that we didn't imbibe back home can never become a norm abroad!

True chief.

Only few of us think better than that!

You will see Nigerians abroad acting like they are not from the same country...!

Some go even dey form sophisticated and aligning more with Oyinbo people... Such a dumb and retarded mentality and attitude.


Whoever use disunity swear for Nigerians just finish work patapata!!!

You are so right on this. I gave one Nigerian friend a personal reference in a job he applied for. The guy went and told his would be employers that I was his former supervisor in my workplace and that we have worked together for over 8 months. Someone living in another county and have never stepped leg in my workplace.
Long story short. I was queried in my workplace when his would be employer wrote to verify his claim. I had to explain my side of the story. The company investigated and somehow found me not guilty. The guy refused to pick my call and even respond to my messages. Since then I avoid association with Nigerians apart from the usual hello and hi.
so I no fit come your house as a fellow Nigerian to come chop Nigerian food and even stay behind for weekend?

Indians! Those guys are the Fulani’s of the world.

See Indians can have religious, tribal or even diet differences, but they will always prefer each other to a foreigner.

I can call them a cult if permitted too.

The most wicked person you are going to find abroad is a black person. No reach a black American body. They are just bitter towards Africans.
Then fellow Nigerians. They will use you to pay their bills until Mugu scales drop off your eyes.

Not far from the truth.

Especially some Nigerians and Ghanian in the UK very evil minded people.

Attend a church in UK as a Nigerians you will be amaze Nigerians members will wait for u after service to spy on you.

Reason is they want to know the type of car u came with to the church, so they would know maybe to mingle with u or not.

If u are residence in UK and want to stay out of trouble avoid both citizens (Nigerians and Ghanaian).
grin
I just wanted to comment @OP that this helping/cooperation thing is cultural. If it's not inherent in your culture as a people, it is not there! It can't change. Even within a family, we compete against each other to show who is doing better than the other, instead of help one another. That's within a family o... Let alone strangers you don't know. I can't talk about Ghanaians and other Africans but you see Yorubas are the worst! In terms of helping or cooperating to achieve success, they are the most useless tribe/set of people. Most arrogant, self-conceited, selfish and envious tribe.
A Hausa man can shortlist other Hausa men for Jobs just by seeing their names that they are Northerners but Yorubas will never want to see another of their tribe do well. They prefer to even see other tribes in that position than another Yoruba person.
Useless!

Lies..

In Yoruba culture, when a person becomes successful he or she must uplift family members before outsiders it's only when the Yoruba person is suffering from inferiority complex they help outsiders and tend to overdo for outsiders instead of their family members or fellow Yorubas.

I beg to differ about Indians bro.
Indians abroad will help to get themselves into any available job or opportunity.
My Nigerian folks will tell you they'll help and then stop picking your calls.
I have experienced both sides in reality.

Pigeons don't compete with pigeons.

Dolphins don't compete with dolphins.

God bless you. You are 100% correct. I have noticed this trait amongst the educated and privileged Yorubas. Most of them assume you lack because you areblazy.

What are you saying sef? Seems you're one those selfish people.
If you relate with those Indians you'll realise they have a very strong network and community.

DaddyCoool:
So do Nigerians and other immigrant groups. But they all think they don't.
Other groups always wonder how Nigerians can coordinate so well together to do 419 - and you have to be Nigerian for them to allow you to participate
Obviously when it comes to crime and illegality only, una go coordinate - that's what you're saying.

But talk of real career progression, no sense of togetherness. Especially when it's white collar. Same for legit business in the corporate world.

By the way, how many Indians, Pakistani, Chinese or even Koreans abroad have you spoken to and told you they don't?? I've related with many individuals from each of those groups and they're certainly aware that their communities are their springboards.

This is the true picture of black people abroad:

Someone who getting a visa to uk was very hard and is so conscious of his security to help you ,have you not noticed what happens when you help a black man ,he pays you back with evil and put you in trouble that might even affect your stay in the uk ,if I have the opportunity to travel to uk ,with the knowledge of what I know about my fellow black man ,I will be staying on my own cos you can’t trust a black man to be reasonable

Normal!

It’s a gene in every black man irrespective of location.

Especially in Nigerians, it’s another level. You safer in the company of a Afghan than a Nigerian.
Lol, wow!

I think they fear each others and like doing better than you.
Re: Nigeria Man Answers Question About Black Folks Not Helping Each Other Abroad by JaskanFactor: 5:23pm On Oct 18, 2024
start by not calling yourself black people, using the name your enemy calls you is not a good start.

We are not African cause our history is global, but we are serpent man, Nagga. The people who named Paris and Switzerland after ISIS the serpent godess.

Now you ask why cant snakes get along, maybe cause snakes are solitary creatures, while wolfs work in packs.
Cause all the oyinbo people and the nations they raped and turned to half cast like india have wolf in them like we have snake.

Wolfs work in packs, snakes dont work in packs , As Yoruba man, the last Yoruba man i tried to assist in Europe landed me in jail, and the ones who are well off will put you down and treat you like a thief for breathing the same air as them.

Yes we have to look in hearts , but lets not forget our origins , so that we can start from how do snakes get along when facing imminent extinction.

And how on earth are you going to get along when your women are spending all thier money to buy wolfs fur so they can look like wolfs. Cause snakes dont have fur, and a snake with fur on head looks like a joke.

Thats why 99% of so called well to do Nagga women have that wolf fur on thier head, it repents thier hatred of thier own people and how they look.

Reason I have chosen not to go to any Nigerian church here.
I have a friend who was deeply committed in a church denomination back when she was in Nigeria, over here she didn't even bother to find a branch of that church. She has comfortably settled into a church where they are mostly whites and she is thriving.
