Real live observations by a Nigerian in U.S.A.

If you plan on coming here, i have some tips that will save your life

Forget about the America they show you on the T.V
They're thousands of homeless people sleeping on the streets Los Angeles, New York and the big cities
There are places in the USA where people still live in the cave, doesn't wear clothes or shoes and no electricity or running water
There are places in New York that are 100 times worse than Ajegunle

USA is the country where you get killed for wearing a Nike or Jordans sneakers worth only $120

In the USA, you can't just walk into some streets or neighborhood you don't know like you do in Nigeria

Do you wanna know how dangerous USA is ?? Come to Compton or Chicago, you will live in Afghanistan for 7 years without being killed, you can't live in America for 2 days without being killed or your friend being killed


20 of my friends were killed last month for nothing, just sitting in their homes and they were gunned down

1. Don't argue with Americans, they're the most ignorant people on earth

2. Don't get in trouble with anyone, buying a gun is very easy, you walk into Walmart, give them $100 and they give you a gun

3. Americans glorify violence, if you go to jail or kill someone, to them you're a God, killing you will make them feel accomplished, so don't try to argue with anyone

4. Don't go to nightclubs

5. Don't go to the ghettos

6. Mind your goddam business

7. When stopped by the police, give them all your information, license, registration, proof of insurance, don't worry about going to jail if your your driving papers ain't up to date, you will spend only 1 hour in jail and you will be bailed with $65

8. American police are trigger happy, do whatever they tell you to do, don't argue, in fact lay on the floor immediately they ask you to

9. Americans talk too much like women, don't waste your precious time talking with them

10. The most dangerous country in the world is USA
I'm from Nigeria and have been living in the USA for 12 years but i go to Nigeria every 6 month.


Let me tell you, the very first day i came to America, i landed in New York city, i was so disappointed and wanted to go home immediately
Those fantasizing about the USA are those who haven't been to America

USA is the most dangerous country in the world
Chicago is just a city in the states of Illinois, they're the murder capital of the world, Detroit is the second, California is the third

I've seen about 200 murders in the USA but i haven't seen any murder when i was in Nigeria, how is Nigeria or Africa dangerous ??

The police will kill innocent people and at the end of the day, no charges, no jail sentence, there will still be in the police force

As for the citizens, A child doesn't know who his father is because his father is in jail and will never get out, the child will have kids before the age of 23 and before the age of 27, he commits a murder and gets a 70 years prison sentence, the cycle continues and never stops
Killing people is nothing to them



The number of murders that occur in Chicago and Los Angeles in a year is greater than the number of murders that happens in every country in this world put together

Always remember, USA belongs to the Indians, these people from the great Britain came into the USA in 1776 uninvited, killed all the Indians, raped their women, took their lands and named it "USA" and you think they give a fucck about your life ??

In all, if you guys can't cope with the hardships, come back to Mama Africa. No place like home!

MadCow1:
Being Black overseas is a real Biitch..

If you are broke, WAHALA... If you are rich, they are shocked.

Being the only black Family on a long street in a high brow neighborhood of Paris was quite funny. Na so Police patrol for the area increase, only one neighbor dey greet us (and they were an Indian family that worked in the same office with my Dad and had even worked together in Nigeria before).

One day, our old neighbors Cat jumped into our compound and when we caught it and tried to return it, this woman did not come out (though we could see her peeking from her window).

And the usual when we dey stroll for street, them go cross go the other side jejely..


Online, for my Liverpool FC official Facebook page, there is a running joke of "AFRICAN EXPERT" whenever an African makes a post. They use it to mock Africans. They say things like 'Do you people have Cable TV in Africa?'

Racism is real o!! Especially in Europe and Asia. America and Canada own no bad like that again.

The only way to overcome it is to get filthy rich because na that one dey pain dem pass to see a wealthy Black Person wey dem no fit yeye.

hardbody:
Learn how to make it. Stop sounding like a failure. We make it here and spend it there. Ask around.

bee444:
You telling me shut up? Such moral degradation is a reason why someone like would get killed soon. Where I have been, lived or sojourn has no narrative whatsoever on the issue at hand. People that are well educated and in the know don't have to be everywhere to know what's happening in other places. And because you're ignorant, ill-brought up and lack the moral decency to respect your elders, I won't tell you where I live for privacy reasons. I might at some point while I typed. Catch up with me on other threads.

Your children (if you have one) sings racism songs at school every day and you think they're learning. Most nursery rhymes are written to mock and degrade black people which unfortunately, our people are still allowing their kids to sing. All boil down to lack of knowledge.

I lived in the U.K. and Ireland for 12 years, emigrated to US later. Lived in Canada, Holland, Paris, and all. I'm well rounded, and I can proudly, but not boastful that I am a citizen of the world.

So, next time you wanna come at someone for airing their knowledgeable views on social platforms, do your research of such person thoroughly before you make a fool of yourself, like you just did.

bigfrancis21:
My point is if you want to come you are always welcome to come but do not expect life here to be all cozy and bliss. The grass is not always green on the other side.

GurlFriend:
In a series from the Atlantic, a Nigerian girl named Toluse Akinlabi talks about her experience living as the only black person in her community in Ireland. Some people who had the misconception that Africans live on trees were often shocked to find out she could speak English fluently.

Read her below



Toluse also kept a blog during her year living and studying in Beijing (that’s her pictured below on the Great Wall).

You are used to suffering that is why you have that view. You also do not have a choice because if you did, you would not be saying that crap.

Amusing.....

I don't enter the UK with a visa, does that tell you anything?

I was processing Canadian immigration visa up till the point of my final interview in Ghana. Some female canadian friend punched me when she said she could not imagine a black skinned lawyer in the streets of quebec. I instantly discontinued my immigrant visa application.

The fact you are either constrained or challenged and will settle for anything does not mean we are all cast in the same mould. Chart your course and run with it.

Enough said, or need i say more?

Gerrard59:
So why don't you come back? You want things to work properly without paying taxes and holding the government accountable?

Is it the daily tribalism on Nairaland that's commendable? Tribalism from people of same skin is worse than racism from a different skin colour.

I always say, if you must relocate abroad, do so as a legal migrant.


Dude wants constant power supply, motorable roads, quality education system, top notch Healthcare without paying for it?

Nonsense.

FakoMaybach1:

And she is there where milk and honey flows still complaining of racism, the way e be me now if a white man offers me a job to stay in a cage and behave like a monkey from 9am to 5pm and he will pay me 20,000$ a month i will gladly take it, throw banana at me no yawa...i dont give a rats ass about dignity or heritage or all that hogwash, the kind hunger wey knack me today if e knack anybody that person fit quench

6digitscomrade:
AND SOMALIA YOU WILL BE...LIKE I SAID DO NOT COMMENT ON THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW IT WILL ATTRACT ALOT OF NEGATIVE THINGS TO YOU..LISTEN MORE AND TALK LESS YOU WILL LEARN AND GROW TO INFLUENCE OTHERS...I AM WELL TRAVELLED,I ORGANIZE CONFERENCES,there is one coming up in few days in dublin..for jobseekers you get to to meet big time CEOs..i have without sounding cocky,know alot about racism and europe more than you..dont talk about countries in particular..fortunately in Nigeria we have only tribalism and nepotism..SOUTH AFRICA has racism and discrimination same with morocco and tunisia..but europe and USA.. are the kings as it were when it comes to racism only the ratio differs in alot of states and countries..just shut up dont say racism is no more instead preach TOLERANCE..you will get more patronage i dont patronize unrealistic or naive people.

BrOwnSuga3:
Even here in Nigeria there is racism...

If you are the only Non-Yoruba speaking person in your house/compound, you're dead.

Some illiterate being will look you in the face and tell you they ain't giving you the free apartment because you're not Yoruba.


Which racism pass this one?

cococandy:
They killed 20 of your friends and you're still alive? Tell me more.

BTW which Walmart sells guns? I'd like to buy.

lozanni:
My brother you hit the nail squarely on the head !!!
Racism is real in Europe ohh, dont mind OlajumokeBread who is only speaking from his US experience, where we know racism is not really existing anymore.
My brother who worked in the UK said often those racist whites are usually very envious when they see a black professional who knows his onions and is much more intelligent than them.

abbeyty:
that is one of the reasons that makes me feel ashamed whenever i see a bleached black woman walking around the street in white man's land without any shame. cuz i keep saying to myself how would a white man respect you when you are not even proud of whom you are

ephi123:
Not sure we are reading the same thing here, in any case it is my opinion - I know successful black colleagues doing well despite their skin color, those who choose to scream racism are free to do so.

optimusprime2:
Aaaaah I see you haven't quite gone places...
After Spending some time in Russia, China & India you will realise the world is actually round... and some people don't give a care about rap.

Ishilove:
The scenario he painted was pretty depressing

gypsey:
all this long story is true, if you live in the ghetto area, folks who live in middle class area do not encounter this sort of problems.

bosschinalu:
I duff my heart...we dey beg for this kinda exposure

ShakurM:
Don't knock on people realities. You don't have to be a monkey to get paid, the worse kind of money is money with self destructive conditions, what's happening to you bro? Look on the bright side

metallisc:
that is the typical survivalist mindset of the average african - not his fault though, it's an issue of orientation! that is why they keep perishing in droves across the desert and on the high seas trying to get to europe - the land of 'free flowing milk and honey' - only for most to get there and end up sleeping in the streets and subways and most of the girls end up in dinghy brothels!

FakoMaybach1:
Clearly you have never heard the word "Get rich or Die trying"
