see how the Sky news is trying to spin Liam Neeson story to make him look racist. also thanks to the American media for causing this thunderstorm. if you want to get dumb start watching American mainstream media like CNN and co and see how they spin the news how come it is only white people and their media that know what is racist for black people? this is what i am talking about the Social warrior justice media, always trying to kill everything, they have killed comedy, they almost killed video games, this is what we dont want in Nigeria, where social justice warriors which some Nigerians living and studying in the west will find fault in every situation, they look at everything in black and white and suppressing free speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze66N6XK88M |

wetdick:There is a lot more to that...from an eyewitness. 1. Easy access to sex via the internet 2. Women seeing "child support" as a viable business. 3. Ability to get free food to feed children 4. Clintons 3 strike policy that has made a lot of black men spend productive years in jail and unable to adequately provide for thier kids when they get out because they cant get good jobs due to their tainted records. 5. Thug life being glorified by gangster music. And so on. In Nigeria, glorification of cultism, internet fraud, ritual riches, baby mama ish by your popular musicians like Nice, Wizkid, Davido, Flavour and Tuface have done more damage than any diaspora Nigerians. |

wetdick:No amount of argument you make here is going to change people's mind with what western ideologies they choose to bring and practice in Nigeria. Like I earlier stated that those western ideologies are choices made aware to people to either embrace or deny. The internet and technology like cars, computers and many more that you are using were introduced by the same western ideologies. Why are you using them in Nigeria? |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 7:54pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
Beautyaddy:i think you are twisting my words, i was talking about political ideology of liberalism and equality which is very unrealistic, have you read Protocols of the Elders of Zion, read this book and understand what i am talking about. these ideologies of liberalism and equality is what many Nigerians in the west love to fall in love with |

wetdick:I just hope and pray to God that you are the only one with this troubling mentality in Nigeria |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 8:08pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
justwise:you better hope. so you think that the men in high places shouldnt be called to the books when it is popular knowledge that they are the main perpetrators of sexual harassment in the workplace |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Beautyaddy: 8:30pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
justwise:Lol!!..Unfortunately, he is not. Even some Nigerian women have his same mentality and not just the men. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by justwise(mod): 8:41pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
wetdick:You have being bending yourself into all sorts of shapes trying to defend this your sad and troubling mentality, did you just wake up in 2019 and realized that its not longer 1908? So when those street rats sexually attack women its ok and we should only focus on big men doing the same? |

justwise:you can call it whatever you like i dont care, so according to you the rich are above the law while the poor need to face the wrath. my question has always been why are the women not protesting against men in high places who most times demand sex or tell them to meet in hotels before they are given a job. Big men in offices are the biggest perpetrators of sexual harassment in the workplaces, i will advise any protesters to channel her protest to those people but most won't do, because they are scared of losing their friendships or their jobs, if this is a troubling mentality, then i wonder how you think. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Olalekank(m): 10:34pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
I think I know what OP wants. A lady who would get married and be a slave in the house. A Nigeria where women can get molested at Tejuosho but the big men aren't suppose to touch you. If we had a working system, all these people would be put in their place - jail. Who do the ladies report to? Even SARS don't arrest Yahoo guys for justice but for their own pocket. How many people have been charged to court and gone to jail for molesting ladies. Who then does the lady report to and justice would be carried out, the only thing we know how to do is to shout on social media, I wish it had far more impact than it has now. See, some of these ideologies would only make us better. Would you rather have a situation where they bring the #metoo movement to Nigeria in a bid to solve these harassment problem or we have a world of equal opportunities where men and women qualify for the same job, on merit. Kindly be specific with the sort of ideologies you're talking about. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 10:47pm On Feb 06, 2019 |
Olalekank:if you think #metoo solved harassment problems then you are joking, it just made many men avoid women and not wanting to help them in the work place, it was a witch hunt, i also think, you twisted all that i was saying, my question is why are the women not protesting against men in high places who are the real harassers, who demand sex before job interviews, why are they not after the powerful men? but come to think of it again what are the sellers at the market doing except forcing these young women to buy their clothes And the ideology i am talking about, is feminism, promoting single motherhood, liberalism, gay rights and other rights which are very impossible to achieve. this are basically political tools to cause anarchy. |

wetdick:Maybe you need to research on what feminism is. Kindly expatiate on what harm feminism would do to us as a country if you claim these ideologies mar us. When have you ever seen anyone encouraging single motherhood, where's your source? Even the Americans don't like it! Here is a link to liberalism - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism In as much as I personally don't support the LGBT movement, it's not our business what two men or ladies do behind closed doors. Of course except we have religious views that doesn't support this. Rights that'd give women more opportunities are one of the things you're against right? Women aren't supposed to drive, vote, go to school, take up jobs. The only thing they're meant to do is give birth, sit at home, give birth, cook, take care of the kids. We should be grateful they've been fight for women rights over the years as most of the things I listed here were seen as a norm, many many years ago. |

[b][quote]it will change the balance in society, make us go away from the normal traditional values of a man and women and lead us to single motherhood, where single motherhood and baby mama syndrome is the norm just like the black community in the US, the reality is that this will ruin children.[/b] When have you ever seen anyone encouraging single motherhood, where's your source?

Of course except we have religious views that doesn't support this. [quote]it is our business to know what two men and two ladies are doing behind closed doors, very important we protect society from this idea, everything starts from closed doorsbefore we know it children will start practising it, also it is common knowledge that the rate of HIV and AIDS and drugs abuse is high among people who practice gay sex, any epidemic of diseases from these people will be a national security issue Rights that'd give women more opportunities are one of the things you're against right? Women aren't supposed to drive, vote, go to school, take up jobs. The only thing they're meant to do is give birth, sit at home, give birth, cook, take care of the kids. [quote]women in Nigeria have all these rights you mentioned, i dont see how women are oppressed in Nigeria, a woman can decide to be a housewife or a working class if she wants, she in fact has equal opportunities and pay in the working place just like men in Nigeria. |

wetdick:Hmmm Its not about deserving the best jobs. Its more of knowing what you are worth as an individual and commanding those jobs. If i studied at Harvard and i decide to come back to Nigeria, you dont think i should command the jobs i want? The ideas you speak of: does it include the ideas related to making Nigeria a better place? Because I am positive that Nigeria could learn a thing or two from the White people. Unrelated: How is it possible that a building or a project that could take a few months to complete in a developed country, that same project would take several years and still end up not being complete? Or how is it that National Universities in developed countries can guarantee (Pending good grades) that a student will graduate in 4 years but that cannot be said for Universities in Nigeria? Oh and my favorite one, MMIA airport: was built when again? We are in 2019 and well, if you look hard enough, you can still see tech from the yester years. Oh well, what do i know. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 3:10pm On Feb 07, 2019 |
moonraker:so because, you studied in Harvard, we should just give you a job without checking if your grades are good or if the course you studied is relevant, dude, that is pure entitlement mentality. Nobody is entitled to anything, you have to prove yourself first before we can take you seriously. cultures learn from each other, but how come we only learn all the ideas that will take us further to destruction and hate, ideas that will put us in big troubles and destabilise a nation. |

wetdick:Guy I think you're just hating! I don't know who you are but you need to go to the Abroad |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 4:17pm On Feb 07, 2019 |
Olalekank:pls explain to me how this is hate? |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by moonraker(m): 3:18am On Feb 08, 2019 |
wetdick:There is a bigger picture here which you fail to see. Stop seeing things from a common man`s perspective. Harvard only take in a special specie of students 1. Highly Connected 2. Alumi 3. Brainacks. Harvard will not let you graduate until you meet a certain standard. So your talk of good grades is null. Again, your line of though is shocking. You will never EVER see someone from harvard, apply for a job, they know nothing of. I do get where you are coming from though. There are people out there who go to schools in Russia, Cyprus bleh and expect to command jobs easily. I am not for that. I am against that. Bottom line is education abroad is still miles ahead of what is currently available in Nigeria. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 10:51am On Feb 08, 2019 |
moonraker: in times of facilities, research and organisation, we may be far away but in giving good education, we can still compete with some western countries, why is it that, some graduate in Nigeria with 2.2 do graduate with distinctions when they do their masters abroad in western countries? if our standard wasnt high, they wouldnt be able to compete. |

| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by mikkyphp(m): 4:56am On Feb 09, 2019 |
@wetdick I kinda get your underlying reasoning: being against the whole post-modernist 3rd wave feminism, neo-marxists ideology interwoven with racial and sexual intersectionality and identity politics currently going on in the West. I also understand the entitlement some Nigerians who schooled abroad have, as well as our nack to embrace foreign ideologies without any filter. However, castigating the Yaba anti-sexual harassment protest will only lead you into a rabbit hole. It is a social ill that has plagued society for as long as I can remember. That and the corporate sexual harassments by big Ogas can both be tackled in parallel. |

Discussion, debate and criticism in Nigeria is a personal attack. We are too emotional in this country, We are going nowhere in this country if people can not analyse messages before commenting.seperate a message from emotions, Logical and critical thinking is missing here in Nigeria. Discussions, debate and criticism is part of life and progress Most myopic comments comes from people who haven't step their feet on Murtala Muhammed Airport or people selling tickets, immigration and study abroad packages. GoodLuck Wetdick. |

wetdick:Go ahead and tell us how many places you have been Boast on places you have gone, go ahead. So the fact that someone doesn't agree with your point of view does not make them myopic. justwise that opposes your view has been in the UK for many years (if I'm right) and many other people who have opposed you are in various countries. You need to understand that many of the stuffs you wrote up there are just things meant for the 20th century. I am proud to say I have never stepped foot into MM International Airport. Despite that, I have read some things about foreign countries and don't posses just a very limited knowledge. I've seen some of these foreign guys ideologies. I hope to at least enter the airport soon |

Olalekank:stop being emotional. |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Olalekank(m): 11:44pm On Feb 10, 2019 |
wetdick:This is not a matter of being emotional. You can't judge anyone being emotional or not I would also love to tell you that your very first post on this thread depicted how much emotions you have/had bottled up in you |
| Re: My Letter To Nigerians Living And Studying In Western Countries by Nobody: 11:47pm On Feb 10, 2019 |
Olalekank:LOL, my reality, i am tired of arguing, i just do what i wanna do and i really dont care how people react. that is my reality. |
