There’s nothing really new here; it’s just one person's opinion, not the official stance of the state or government. No matter what you do, you’re always going to be the villain in someone’s story. We see the same thing in Nigeria. To me, this just looks like personal drama that isn’t worth the energy. Maybe we should focus on fixing the tribalism in our own backyard—like on Nairaland—before we start tackling global racism.

...Secondly he waves around a 3rd world flag as if it is worthy of respect...

Our leaders have turned us into a laughing stock. Many people genuinely hold this view, even if only a few are bold enough to express it publicly.

Yes ,it's for people that feel it's all rosey over there.
You just have to do your thing and chase your dreams disregarding the obstacles that comes with it.
Also you can't compare tribalism to racism as a racist can go all length you can't imagine.

SmartPolician:
The only difference between racism and tribalism is their spellings. There's nothing a racist does that a tribalist cannot do. It's even more troubling that people who have the same skin colour discriminate against one another; that's the highest level of foolishness

guobe:
Can a tribalist call you black monkey and throw a 🍌 banana for you to eat?

Shinedu go and listen to wise elders close to you if you have any! A lot of Nigeria’s are making the country proud, everything is not leaders! How have you made your country proud?? What innovations/impact have you brought in your immediate environment, if any of this answer is zero then you need to start blaming people populating other country’s with drugs and claiming and deceiving people that they are hardworking !

SmartPolician:
There's no basis for that to happen in tribalism because the skin colours are the same.

We have seen tribalist people launch an extensive manhunt against tribes of the same country, killing them in large numbers.

This has happened in Nigeria and across Africa. This is by far worse than throwing bananas.

guobe:
Those are wars between tribes,if racist start a war nobody will survive it.

madridguy:
Stop disrespecting yourself in a public figure. Nigeria and Nigerians are not a laughing stock anywhere and take your negative energy elsewhere.

Just few days ago, DJ Cuppy won an international award and she bragged about Nigeria, same with AJ and other Nigerians representing the Green White Green flag respectfully across the globe.

I will respond to this tribal outburst directly.
First, what exactly compelled you to address me as “Shinedu”? Why is your reflex response to criticism of government or leadership to drag the Igbo identity into it? When faced with a simple observation or complaint, why do you instinctively search for an ethnic scapegoat?

Do you seriously believe Nigeria consists only of Igbos, Yorubas, and Hausa/Fulani, or is this just intellectual laziness disguised as tribal defensiveness?

As for “impact,” I am under no obligation as a private citizen to justify my existence or list my contributions to you. One, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. Two, you’re not asking in good faith. You’re only fishing for ammunition to fuel yet another tribal rant.

Whether you like it or not, successive governments are largely responsible for the poor image Nigerians face abroad. This is not opinion; it is reality staring us in the face: lack of transparency, zero accountability, entrenched corruption, and a shameful indifference to the insecurity ravaging the country. The list goes on.

Fix the rot at the head, and the body will heal. Until then, spare us the tribal deflections, they solve nothing.

Yes he just expressed the way a white man sees a black man from Africa.

[b]I've always classified what Anthony Olufemi Joshua did as an insult to his hosts.
That's a country/people that adopted you as one of their own and granted you full rights as a citizen, and even knighted you an MBE. It would've been less of an insult if he wasn't a British citizen.

What he did shows his loyalty to Britain is divided. He may not fully grasp what his actions mean, but he should imagine a Somalian person with immigrant parents using their glorious moments to 'pledge allegiance' to Somalia rather than the people who adopted and made them who they are.
Do you know what he and other blacks are passing through on the hands of those white guys over there?The propaganda against immigrants is in an alarming rate currently.
AJ knows what he is doing.
He won't lose anything if he is driven away from UK.
John Fashanu is currently in Nsija flexing.
Who UK Help.

That's an insult.

All I can imagine is if someone tries this in a Yoruba country with me as Minister of Interior, they'll be on the next flight to their beloved country instantly.[/b]
