hardbody: Lol. There is no need to seek surpport. I quoted you to make sure you don't leave till your mentality changes. It will be like that till i see some semblance of change in the way you think. How anyone can defend your thought process is beyond me. Smh. 1 Like |

Bollinger:brah this is not about being illegal and this is not about you. its about your people. you are not seperate from your people. if your people are regarded as inferior then subliminally all your white co-workers look at you like a nigger. FACTS. just cuz they smile in your face dont mean nothing. |

hardbody: Did you just say they vote consciously? Nigerians vote based on their stomach and greed. How else do you justify someone voting out of ignorance and collecting rice and salt before doing it. Brother, you have no clue about the country you live in and the reason this is, is because you have been immersed too long in they depravity in it. Are you sure you've ever lived in Nigeria? In half a century, you have not had one decent leader. Do you realize that mathmatically it is impossible? Based on probability, you should have had at least one president that was good. Do you know why you've had bad leaders so far? Because the people have the same mindset you have. You can't have good leaders in a nation of bad citizens because you pick leaders from the citizenry. Obviously, based on our discussion so far, Nigeria needs a total re orientation of the way they think. God help you all. I have already said on this forum many times that the best way to cure Nigeria of the status quo is to do what Jerry Rawlings did for Ghana. Ghana is better of for it today. 3 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: And that's where you are wrong. Nobody asks me where i'm from because they don't care. Do you know what they care about? That i am productive. That i pay my taxes. That i do not have a criminal record. Bros, you have to live it to understand it. And i think this is rich coming from someone who lives in a country where it's own people are unbelievably racist/tribalistic against one another. To the point where they use their prejudice to keep their country in the stone age. Black on black. White on blacks i can understand, but black on blacks? Come on. Lol. 1 Like 1 Share |

Bollinger:come on brah, surely you are not blind to all the killings of black men by the police in america ? you cant be oblivious to how whites feel about blacks are you ? you do know the blacks were only desegregated less than 40 years ago right ? less than 40 years ago your black ass would be seating at the back of a bus or not allowed to go into restaurants. surely you are not oblivious to all this are you ? 1 Like |

Bollinger: You should have said this since, rather than dancing around your beliefs. You listen to CNN a lot and nothing from Nigeria. I can understand that. Today you are brain washed to think 'like them'. I guess the reason is simple, when your likes never thought it possible to apply and get a visa and then travel to the 'white man's world', it does appear to you as the greatest achievement ever. Then again i guess it is for you, having the reached the highest pinnacle of your hearts desire. Listen around, read a bit, and you will understand that a few things are changing in Nigeria. Nigerians don't all vote for bread and butter, some still do not sell their conscience, but how do i expect you to understand, forming oyinbo. To get it right, we should kill all the leaders, then travel en masse and leave Nigeria and forbid others who may wish to return to never do so I see how brilliant you are. 2 Likes 1 Share |

hardbody: If this how you want to interprete this, then more grease to your elbows. You don't seem to understand your situation and as such are doomed to continue the rot you are used to. It has been proven that doing and thinking the same way and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity. Nowhere have i said to migrate en mass out of Nigeria is your solution. The solution as i have pointed out is to change the way you think, is the way to your eldorado. To think there is an iota of change in your country is laughable to say the least. Brother it is getting worse by the day. How you can't see this is amazing. Again, you are making the mistake of thinking it is all about you. I have already schooled you on this way of thinking. It is not that because you don't do it but the fact that you've had bad leaders in power who use this as a tool to get in power. Which means that a majority of you do it, hence the reason they are there. I can't believe i have to explain this to you. And yes, a total cleansing of your leadership is the solution to problems as it is. The other option is war and i would not wish it on you. Why? Think about it. Nigerian act like animals in peace time, what do you think they would do when at war? You guys would make what happened in Burundi look like a kindergaten birthday party. Smh. 1 Like 1 Share |

sukkot: If you follow my comments so far, you would see that i have said it is not a perfect society. I will take that imperfect society over the rot in Nigeria. That being said, i can only speak for myself. It's been almost two decades and not once have i personally experienced racism. When a cop stops me, guess what happens? "hello sir, can i see your drivers license and registration"? I smile and calmly hand it over to him. He looks at it and hands it back to me saying "thank you sir, have a nice day". Every time. You know why? Because i respect myself and never argue with a man who has a gun and is authorised to do so. I don't sag my pants, hang around hoodlums or wanna try to be a gangster. Now lets fast forward to a society where the police will stop you and demand you give him 20 naira or else you are not leaving. Where two people get into an accident and the solution is to get into a fist fight. Where people prefer to dump refuse in front of their houses. Where you call the cops and no one will show up. Where they run a quota system based on the region you are from. Where the citizens hold more allegiance to the tribe they are from rather than the country they belong to. Guy, you realise you don't know the country you live in but are an expert on another person's country. Do you know how phucking hilarious that is? Smh 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bollinger:[b]brother ? you are speaking to a man that has lived in america and england and i will say one thing, and you can take it how you want to take it, if i am extremely rich ? i would rather live in nigeria because i can carve out my own little heaven in nigeria. now if i am struggling or just managing ? then i may decide to live abroad. is it bad that you need to have money to be in heaven in naija ? yeah somewhat but the same can be said for america. me personally i lived in chicago and in chicago if you dont have money you will be in drug and gun infested neighborhoods but you need real good money to move to the rich suburbs like evanston and skokie etc. point being i rather be rich in nigeria than rich in america. shyttt imagine living in a place like lekki ? all the houses there are serviced meaning you get light and water 24 7 and all the apartments have tennis courts and swimming pools, and they have malls and huge supermarkets and lots of restaurants, even hard rock cafe and macdonalds and kfc, and you can order anything online from konga and jumia and they will deliver to your house and those stores have everything that is sold in america and britain. so you see ? naija will always be better than america or england but the only problem is you need some money to enjoy naija. and you dont get to deal with racism too. so naija wins all the time.[/b] |
