RodgersAkpafu:Hypocrisy at its peak. You dislike Indians so much to the extent you denigrate them by calling them awon pajeet and you are allowed to be openly Indianphobia but others are not allowed to be homophobia. You defend your Agege community but you can't defend the Indian community against MAGA. So much for being accommodating. Anyway, I will take Indian community even with their fault over the Agege community anytime anyday. Anybody wey no like am, make e go chop Apple wey Abacha chop those days ![]() |

Kenn55:There is a historical context to why I use "pajeet" I use it to rile jedisco up to understand you will have to refer to our posts from last year to better understand And no, i don't hate Indians, I dislike pajeets There is a difference I also dislike the ones who act racist to us or think they are better than us... to paint it clearer, I love Yoruba people BUT HATE Yoruba Ronu I'm an Igbo man BUT hate IPOB Have no problems with black Americans BUT think FBAs/ADOS are delusional And same with White Americans BUT can't stand MAGA Just three weeks ago, a female acquaintance of mine just complained that her pajeet landlord duped her out of her deposit because she is moving houses, claiming that she spoilt things, to the point of writing a bad reference to the subsequent landlady who happens to be Nigerian I have also come to find out that this is a recurring decimal , and they don't do this to white tenants why will I defend Indians from MAGA when they are painting my people and Latinos as the low quality migrants and them the "high quality" ones? That was the crux of the discussion last year and yeah like I said before, your personal views are welcome in a free society, but homophobic outbursts will come with consequences |

RodgersAkpafu:Brother, if you recall, I was on your side during that argument cos I understand clearly what you were talking about and I still do. But you must understand that every human has what they love or hate and have genuine reasons why they do. You highlighted reasons why you dislike "pajeet" and they are genuine but do you know that some other person can see it as flimsy and wonder why that should be a basis to dislike them? So it will be fine for them to insult you based on that? The way you dislike them is also the way someone can dislike the Agege community for their own genuine reasons so you don't have the right to abuse them or paint them bad as you have done here considering that you also have some group of people you dislike for your own genuine reason. All I ask for is consistency afterall pajeets are also human beings too. If you can't love all irrespective of their fault then don't insult people who choose what or who they love or hate cos you are no different. I rest my case. |

Kenn55:Can't argue against this It's well articulated And point taken |

RodgersAkpafu:I usually don't like to engage with all this nonsense xyz race bad stuff, but your claim that Indian Americans somehow came out of nowhere and started denigrating the Mexican immigrants in USA for no reason is incorrect. You're missing vital context. This is merely retaliation for stuff like the following pic:

DeathParade:So it is okay for people to call us "less than" because of Nigerians scammers based on the same logic you are posting Or is it okay to stereotype Indians because a good number of their ilk are scammers? My point is they are IN NO POSITION to think of themselves as "higher than" any other migrant group Neither do us, or the Mexicans And the poll goes to show that even to the white supremacists that the Indians have been trying to do "good boy" for, they are still seen as "pajeets" and Mexicans seen in better light than them Them go learn sense se Coming from a third world failed country and now coming here to "raise shoulder" over other people. Nobody is falling for their gimmick as the "model migrants" while others are the "low quality migrants" That is the same message they are also trying to push here in Britain, but its not also working because the archetype of immigrant in the mind of anti immigrant racists that cause trouble here are South Asians in general. For me that's my main crux on the subject If you had had direct nasty experiences, you will understand why me as well as the other Nigerians when the convo was going on last year called them out |

RodgersAkpafu:Firstly, the Whites and Mexicans started this trend, not Indian-Americans. Legal Indian immigrants were called "less desirable than" illegal Mexican immigrants. So don't act all self righteous when Indian-Americans use the same language to retaliate. Now coming to India being a "failed third world country". I have only one word. Balderdash. There is a world of difference between a failed state and a developing nation that is the fastest growing major economy in the world that is on the cusp of breaking into high HDI category and upper middle income economy status within the decade. Now coming to is it okay if Nigerians are looked down upon. I for one have had nasty experiences with a few Nigerians in my country. As a result, for a long time I thought of your entire nation a nothing but a bunch of drug traders. But eventually I made an effort to read more about Nigeria, and I mean from sources other than social media (which seems to be the primary source of info for you). Then I came to Nairaland. And I'm learning each day. You lot have problems but you also hold promise, as a nation. Maybe one day, you'll be able to look past your personal experiences when you look at another nation. |

DeathParade:Oh wait You are not even Nigerian? Smh Abeg waka pass. As for that thing you said Even Indians will laugh at you for that "balderash" you wrote up there My Indian associates have nothing good to say bout India, and if you check, they have the highest number of people in abject poverty for any country in planet earth, with a GDP per capita way less than 5k How are they then a middle income country? Should we talk about sanitary conditions ? Buggers littered like flies And how they are the number one economic refugees everywhere on planet earth? Come see how they are squatting here in the north of England Even Mexico has a better HDI indicator than India You are here "capping" nonsense 🙄 And again, your paragraph 1 is silly talk BECAUSE it was the Indians since, even up to the election cycle last year and beyond, that have been cheering Trump and MAGA on as they disparage other migrant groups.... Remember "pile of garbage" ? "dogs and cats"? Now it is clear beyond doubt that "pajeets" are seen in the bucket as the other groups that these self loathing curry eaters thought they were not a part of |

RodgersAkpafu:If someone starts identifying as a cat, goat, or sheep, and we're still calling that a gender identity rather than considering the possibility of a mental health issue, then we’ve clearly lost the plot. Respect and freedom are important, but they don’t require us to pretend that everything someone says about themselves is valid or healthy. Tolerance doesn’t mean throwing common sense out the window. |

I'm not calling it rubbish. To each his own. Over my 17 years of working professional in Canada both in private and public sector I have never attended one and no one has called me out. Same way I have no issue with people calling Christmas period holiday period. RodgersAkpafu: |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 1:31pm On Jun 11, 2025 |
lanresz:Right |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 1:31pm On Jun 11, 2025 |
MicheaD:I see what you saying BUT LGBT and calling yourself cat are two different things |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by MicheaD: 3:05pm On Jun 11, 2025 |
RodgersAkpafu:Are you a member of that group? I’m asking because I once attended one of their gatherings out of curiosity. From what I observed, they all seemed to belong to the same community and operated under the same umbrella. To be honest, many of the individuals there appeared to be in genuine need of psychological support. But rather than addressing those needs, it seems society often chooses to overlook the deeper issues treating everything as normal,when in reality, some of these individuals might benefit more from proper mental health care and professional help. |

Kenn55:Hehe. When someone makes denigrative statements about himself it's doesn't take long to see that there are deep seated issues with inferiority complex. |

orjohn24:have you not seen our beautiful young girls from south coming out naked during their carnival? don't they wear colourful attire? why is it now that some other people are dressing the same way to celebrate themselves and what they like it has become something you don't want to associate with? anyway, no one knocked on your door to force you to come out and celebrate with them. so rest. |

Please, I came across this story recently and it got me thinking maybe I should file a $100 million lawsuit against the Canadian government for wrongful visa rejection, which caused me financial loss and emotional distress. I'm looking for a lawyer who can take on the case and we split the compensation if we win. But so far, most of the lawyers I’ve contacted are asking for upfront payment before they even touch the case. Is there any lawyer here interested or know any?"

Are any of you naturalized Canadian citizens facing any issues traveling to the US? |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by House34: 12:50am On Jun 16, 2025 |
HMAccessories:All Canadian passport holders are generally treated the same at the U.S. border, whether they were born in Canada or became Canadian citizens through naturalization. As long as you hold a valid Canadian passport, you are recognized as a Canadian citizen. |

RodgersAkpafu:Actually its a slippey slippery slope from who you are attracted to se3ually to gender is a social construct cosigned any gender or non gender defn you want to identify as. So QIA+ |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 5:24am On Jun 16, 2025 |
MicheaD:No I'm not a rainbow member But I really admire the fight they had to fight to achieve the relative freedom they enjoy today Shitty Nigerians have one or two things to learn. about them to be very honest Who knows? Maybe Nigeria would be a better place if we had that same fighting spirit to challenge the "established norms" That's my viewpoint anyways |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 5:32am On Jun 16, 2025 |
Taal17:I hear you to very honest But what smart people do and not dummies is to segregate disparate issues and treat them as such It's one thing to be gay and lesbian It's a disparate thing to be non binary and identify as a cat It's quite clear and NOT a slippery slope if you ask me |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 5:35am On Jun 16, 2025 |
legionISproteus:Thank you very much I personally don't fully subscribe to nudity, especially in the presence of kids, but that is not enough to negate or diminish what the pride month stands for |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Taal17: 6:40am On Jun 16, 2025 |
RodgersAkpafu:The parade doesn't have separate lines, fluid it is.nothing disparate in the community. Na you as you said decided to separate it in your opinion. Nothing about being smart or dumb |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RodgersAkpafu: 6:47am On Jun 16, 2025 |
Taal17:Alright then Let's leave it as that Just try educate yourself about the essence of pride month, and the clear distinction between sexual inclinations (being lesbian, gay or bi) and self identification Again they are disparate things |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by walenden: 9:47am On Jun 16, 2025 |
RodgersAkpafu:Na that nudity of clean babe old and young ,dey ginger some of us to attend Pride parade. if na real enjoyment you dey find, just waka reach Church Street for late evening!omo the level of things u go see pass Sodom and Gomorrah ![]() |

RodgersAkpafu:It was too funny! I saw one Black woman using her hand to cover her son’s face the moment those naked ladies started parading like, “Junior, close your eyes! This one no be Cartoon Network!” 😂 |
