Sensible perspective. I hope the dude marries a full blown White so that he can forget his roots, as of now it seems he still likes being Nigerian but doesn't want others to do same, if not why's he here? grin

Don’t mind him, I don’t know why immigrants especially Nigerians behave like him because they got citizenship in their host country. For those living in America, don’t worry Donald trump will make you remember where you come from.

That’s fine. But in reality especially in America , as a person of color, they will not be fully accepted as an American. Even black Americans who have been here for hundred of years are always told to go back to Africa.

growing up in Lagos, and born in Lagos too, I was told often as an Igbo guy to "go home too"


My grand father lost properties after the civil war in his OWN country

So forget that thing

Bigots are everywhere and if a bigot yells racial slurs at me or my kids, Na ignorance sure pass.


it's your fundamental human right not to like me, but infringing on my right will lead to police case cheesy

So tribal /racial slurs are nothing to me
it's been my experience since child hood

and by the way, I don't seek acceptance so that does not bother me

As long as my kids will not get deported, all that talk of "go home" is by word of mouth cheesy

Well if it’s a white person infrininging on your rights like calling the police you on while you living your life , nothing is going to happen to them. As we have seen.

about that.....


many of them have been called out and disgraced in recent months

like the foolish man harassing the Puerto Rican to the white lady calling the popo to wrongly accuse a young black boy of 7 of sexual harassment

There us a back lash, and people still fighting against the bigots in America


in my $hithole country of origin on the other hand, there is no consequence or backlash whatsoever for hate speech or tribal slurs.......

Yes short backlash for a couple of minutes , they lose their jobs and eventually find another one . Meanwhile if the shoe was on the other foot, we lose our jobs and still face jail time. If they really got bad consequences like jail time or heavy fines , they would stop doing it but they continue. Americans are not fighting bigots when we have bigot in charge, as long as bigots continue to run the country and have power , nothing will change .

When changes are actually being put into effect , then I can believe that. Nigerians are one of the mostly highly educated groups in America but we are not the highest earning group. Blacks in America need to have collective wealth to also makes changes.

Yes and whose fault is that? Nigerians are always blaming the government but they need look to themselves look in the mirror. If they vote for him in the next election and he win 2nd term , I don’t want to hear any complaints , the same goes for America as well.

Nope...that is not where the change with blacks needs to be...it needs to start with blacks being united amongst themselves and that has to first of all start in Africa.

I stand by my statement , in America , to makes any changes , you have to have collective wealth. Being united ain’t going to change anything if we don’t have any power. That’s why the Asians are thriving out here.

but how can that happen when an average African is so full of, and consumed with hate......


Yoruba hating Igbo for NO sensible reason, Igbo hating Yoruba for no reason, and scenarios like that playing across Africa

of course Buhari has done bad and spoilt the country

Yes true...but that collective wealth still has to start with blacks supporting each other to even enable that wealth to bring about power. And that is what the Asians are enjoying now...strong support amongst each other.

Something can be said for here, most of the people who voted for trump are bigots.They all shared some of his views. Even the colored people who voted for him are idiots. I'm not going to fault him for being a bigot because of most of these past presidents have been bigots. The low class white people really thought Donald trump was really going to help them, they're in for a rude awakening.
