codemaniacs: ".. South Africans suffered the worst.." No they didn't They never had the civil war horror experiences other Africans had and are still having due to imperialist influence You have to understand that as soon as imperialist began the slave trade (commenced by the Arabs) West & Central Africa became a war zone This war is still raging till today (Bokoharam etc) From fighting the imperialist in decades of brutal war (ekumeku war, Benin kingdom etc) To fighting amongst themselves, of course with the imperialist being the indirect aggressor People who think West Africans were enjoying during the 400yrs slavery don't understand the horror that was going down The stubbornness of the West Africans resisting invasion made the imperialist to be more brutal in other to crush all stoping them from conquest South Africa didn't experience much of this Of coarse like most Africans they battled the imperialist (Zulu etc) but their resistance was not so strong Their situation escalated cause they were too Stupid and much of cowards to drive the imperialist away "on time" as other Africans did Imperialist prey on the mentally weak 1 Like |

I've always said African Americans are the biggest disgrace to the black race! They're one of the laziest set of pple you'll ever come across. They're bunch of narcissistic fools with their sense of entitlement while blaming the whole world for their demise. I've met and seen some that are doing very fine but the margin is just too wide. I feel bad sharing the same race with them. 1 Like |

there are a lot of good African Americans as well as bad ones,I think there is a stereotype about being African american,which we are judging them by which I think is wrong,the same way Africans or Nigerians sometimes are being stereotyped,secondly the perception of them being lazy compare to Africans is somehow still not all that true.we share different realities,for an African man going to america he sees so much opportunities compare to where he is coming from,which gives them extra motivation to work extra hard,but for an African american they were born into that system and no matter how hard they may work they may not meet up with their counterpart from other races,same thing in Nigeria we all complain of no jobs but somehow u see that aboki guy doing all this hard labour stuff and making his money but the average southerner who is broke and unemployed wouldn't think of doing same job 9 Likes |

I started reading the article thinking it had a lot to offer until I realized it was just another write up largely based on anecdotes and lacks substance. Yet my fellow naija brethren have also been quick to commend the efforts of the writer without offering much needed criticism as to how myopic this mindset is. I agree, we need to come together as the writer concluded but with the attitude and lack of empathy displayed in the write up, I completely understand why you might not get along with African Americans.

Daisy17:Other African nationalities claim to hate Nigerians thesame way many Europeans claim to dislike Americans while deep down in their hearts they admire them. If those African nationals on that thread really hate Nigerians as they claim,they wouldn't be on a Nigerian forum corresponding with Nigerians.They are attention seekers same as you 5 Likes 1 Share |

We Africans cannot really understand what they went through because slavery was horrible. It is more of a psychological thing.... The privileges African immigrants are enjoying today is because African Americans fought for it with sweat and blood and so we should be compassionate. But right now, the African Americans should look at the countries that sold them as slaves and make wise choices. There are thousands of Africans who wish to be in the US today. 3 Likes |

Dude, this statement is completely unnecessary. I cannot understand how you would put down your own kind soo much and expect things to get better for your kids? Please think hard about how your mindset actually is not helping at all. Gosh I’m disappointed. RPirez: 3 Likes |

salford1: Slavery happened cause it was destined to happened And Africans didn't sell their brothers as u say Rather the imperialist first started kidnapping then latter when caught in the act they started forcefully taking Then latter forced the leaders to give them slaves else they wipe their community Leaders resulted in kidnapping from other towns to save their town Then it degenerated to selling of slaves by leaders who had become corrupt Africans themselves are the victim and were busy fighting to drive away invaders as well as remove corrupt leaders But it was the time for it to happen West Africa was the destination cause to build any topmost civilization the blood and sweat of a certain type of black people is needed By the way 400yrs ago slavery was not the first Worst has happened to this same 'type" of black people centuries ago in India, China, north America and the middle East This is talked about more cause it's recent (500yrs ago) 3 Likes |
