IjeBos:
I was in the UK at least 3 times just in my senior year. Used to go quite regularly after that as I dated someone who lived there and my homegirl's mom was an Ambassador there. So was always fun times.

As I said speak for your cosplaying self. There is no intersection between my life in Nigeria and yours so you wouldn't even understand why I'd be comfortable moving back.

Again, the self hate and mental colonialism leads you to think that Oyibo are better and "their land (in your mind)" is always better.
I don't think they are better, I know their culture is better, which is why you won't move back to Naija. Maybe if you want to save retirement money, you might move to Naija.

For now, you just complain and criticize how bad the country is, even if you don't want to live anywhere else.
You are living your American dream, and it shows in how you present yourself through the passport you use to post here. You believe that the not so great nation grants you status merely by brandishing your passport, it conveys a sense of class and authority no be so? and yet, you want us to believe that this country is worse than Nigeria and other nations.

"While South Africa is a single nation where white people face discrimination" for decades, though I don't see why the amount if time facing matters. And no, I don't expect you to understand "how Israel entered the matter", but I've entered it, so wrap your cells around it some.



This is ignorant, since you don't just transform plenty of unused land into farmland just like that.

Don't you consider some of that unused land is unused because it is rocky, or perhaps too far away from water and transport that might have in the past be directed, with government spending, to the desirable land that is already owned and not to the unused land?

It is also naive to think the people who decades ago chose the land they wanted for themselves would leave the better easily transformed to farmland for those coming now to easily transform the rest to farmland. But I bet you also think the whites who transformed land to farmland completely ignored the land the black people were farming for themselves, because black South Africans were not farming before white people arrived and transformed land to farm?

Some blacks who might want to transform land to farmland today might not have the history that might enable them to get the assistance and loans at desirable rates given to those with historical land ownership records, or have access to the international markets the long time land owners have access to etc, etc, etc.

But like you said, I don't expect you to understand how any of that enters into this conversation.
I think some of your points are valid, but they oversimplify the situation.

Don't you consider some of that unused land is unused because it is rocky, or perhaps too far away from water and transport that might have in the past be directed, with government spending, to the desirable land that is already owned and not to the unused land?
This is your quote, insinuating that all the lands available are rocky, far from water, etc. It is a valid point, but that is not what the entire situation is.

the ANC government expropriated nearly 4 million hectares of arable farmland, and they spent at least $5 billion to expropriate white-owned property and give it to black people over the last 30 years.

Some 90% of farms redistributed to South Africa's black population from white farmers are not productive, the government has said.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8547621.stm

a 3,000-hectare farm, the biggest citrus plantation that was expropriated in 2003, that is valued at $30 million, producing 3m export quality oranges per year. It received a $30 million grant, and it still went bankrupt in 2023, valued at a reduced value of 1/100th of its original value, buildings in ruin, and citrus plantations chopped down for firewood.
https://www.satorinews.com/articles/2024-03-07/zebediela-citrus-estate-a-tale-of-decline-and-disarray-197568

The farmland that was given away, what happened to it? Again, remind yourself of the BBC article?

You are here making excuses for a country that is making the same mistake Zimbabwe made.

The Kind of farming that was happening is nothing compared to what is happening today. not nearly enough to sustain a nation, and still have more to export to other countries.

You view everyone through your self hate, biases and desire to live in the US or be white adjacent. So much so you pretend to live in the US.
Here was my past profile picture. Notice the passports there.

Again, I am not you. I am 100% comfortable in my black skin Nigerian-ness.

Your friends tear apart their degrees, while some Nigerians tear their passports in anger and rage. You harbor an unimaginable rage for this country inside you, yet you brandish your US passport like you just did, proving my point.

When will you leave the country you dislike so much?

---US embassies to stop student visa interviews---

The Trump administration on Tuesday stopped scheduling new interviews for international students seeking visas to study in the United States as the State Department prepares for expanded social media screening of applicants.

The directive was widely circulated to all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts abroad and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Congress should really take the reigns here.
Imagine only people like Basilico who have nothing but good things to say about Trump being let into US universities.
In fact people who support Trump on their social media are the opposite of critical thinking students US universities would want.

I remember when I was “just as bad the republicans” for saying this was going to happen and as a healthcare worker, people would die if it’s allowed to happen. Healthcare facilities would close for lack of funding.

I was fear mongering according to the well meaning “neutral observers”. Ugh irritating

Where are they now as millions of people are being set on the path of death by this evil government? Contributed their nonsense to the mess and moved on while people whose actual lives are going to be destroyed are left to deal with real consequences.

Biden appointed him. Whistleblower comes out and says white farmers were also discriminated against under Jim.

Did you see the news about student visas?

Omo, it's not even about screening their social media posts. They wouldn't let anybody not White and very rich in. grin

Apart from the fact you seem to have missed my "some", and inferred I insinuated "all lands", this is far more reasoning than I expected from you.

Just know that Ramaphosa may appropriate land, but he'd not find it easy appropriating funding from banks for those farmers, nor knowledge or experience either.

As for it being a mistake Zimbabwe made, Nigeria did the same with the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decree of 1972, by which we appropriated foreign owned companies. It wasn't land in our case, but the sentiment is similar And while I might look at the subsequent decline of the companies that were appropriated, I can understand why its done.

I'd also claim its no different to America First, but you'd then think my understanding is support, so consider it more like native Americans land back and Israel's more aggressive genocidal form.

But we were supposed to believe it’s only about illegal immigration. These brown dumbos online yapping about illegal immigrants think they’re are different from an illegal immigrant in the eyes of a racist white person.

It's also gradually getting closer to raumdeuter's address now. None of his kinsmen at Ogbomoso can also come to America through study route for now cheesy Except the Democrats he loves to hate fight and win at the court again. grin

Trump couldn't stop Harvard from taking international students, now he wants to suspend all student visas altogether. What a joke of a man.

And what elite US school have you been to that you are talking about what would be acceptable at "elite schools"?
Oh yeah, you took a couple of courses at Harvard Extension School shocked

Unlike you, I went to a couple.
Elite schools are steeped in tradition.
I'm sure West Point grads have rules about what they can wear at commencement, yet the commander in chief walks in with a campaign baseball cap to give the commencement speech at a military graduation for a military that is supposed to be non political.

I asked him to move, but he acted petty like a child and blocked me. How is that the behavior of someone who complains about white people and criticizes the US, claiming it isn't great? Yet, he is quick to use his US passport for status.

I simply asked him which African country or predominantly Black nation he would want to live in. His response was that he wanted to move, but in reality, he hasn’t made any moves at all.

Its a shame how they sent a woman to jail for 2 years for a tweet she posted and deleted within 3 hours and a tweet nobody saw. She has a husband and child she takes care of. Meanwhile, they let rapist, men who expose themselves to minors and stalk minors walk freely with a little fine.

It is madness what the UK has become

Trump’s pick to investigate waste, fraud and abuse at the Labor Department, Anthony D’Esposito, is a former Republican congressman who lost his New York seat after he was accused of putting his mistress and fiancée’s daughter on his payroll.

I guess it doesn’t matter. As long as they feel they’re winning internet arguments and owning the libs.

Whoever is close to them that gets affected is just collateral damage.

Literally everything they have in America that makes America great today is because snowflake leftists cried liberal tears and made it happen.

Their own is to mock the effort and enjoy it when it comes to fruition. Ridiculous humans
