I know someone that experienced number 4. She entered a train leaving her daughter behind (she thought she entered with her). She almost lost the daughter to child services. When living abroad you will understand that your children aren't yours. The government can take them at any time if you are negligent and once they turn 18, they move out to live on their own.

As per the other points, I agree with everything, but the black issue isnt as much issue in Canada as it is in the US, I think most other western countries have better race integration than US.
And for church issue, I attend a predominantly white church. Some prefer Nigerian churches to feel at home, but lots of stories of drama. White churches can be boring, but they are sound, very supportive and no drama.

You should create a separate thread on this, how do Black Women get oppressed in London? I know this is common within Black American Men and their Women, they hate each other. But you are in London, so...

Comparing Black men from African who also grew up in Africa is predominantly different in terms of how they treat other black women from Africa. For example, i would rather date a Nigerian in the Uk than any other tribe.

And how come no one ever talks about the weather in the Uk, seems like Uk weather is really great.
The weather is horrible. Thays one of the few things 'd say naija is better than abroad. The weather is nasty especially this time of the year. Thats why so much is done to fight homelessness

Point 5 is pretty much self explanatory... but to expand further, ... Nigerian churches abroad are toxic because everything bad about Nigeria is practised there; mediocrity, corruption, nepotism, classism, hypocrisy, wickedness, envy, arrogance etc..
The focus is neither on God, nor attaining righteousness but rather on showing off, making money and being rewarded with titles in within the organisation (church).
... This is why you'd see economically disadvantaged people who actually live in council houses, dressing like millionaires in church whilst looking down on others who are just as poor as they are.. respect and honor is given to the most superficial of things.

Oh! U don explain to Dem sef.

White churches help a lot from homeless service to helping people pay their school fees

If you want to live peacefully without any trouble avoid the blacks especially Nigerians, they are toxic, full of envy and hatred. And they like to look down on other blacks of their kind.

In fact Black Lives Matters is a scam, when we blacks living abroad are not truly united.

Arabs are more united in the West, they take care of their own

I'm very very curious. Is it that the members are toxic or what?
Re: Sad Truths About Living Abroad by 360clips: 10:19pm On Dec 23, 2020
Most black people that go abroad carry their backwardness over there. That's why no one wants to be a black man's friend over there. They're seen as local.

Not only in the church, but also anywhere Nigerians predominantly are. Check Nigerian organizations, even some campus organizations such as African Students Organizations and compare them to European Students (or Lantinx) Organizations. Check hospitals where Nigerians form the majority of nurses and check how they interact with each other. Now, compare the relationships of Nigerians in America to Indians or Chinese in America, and you'll find a stark difference. This shows that the problem of Nigeria isn't just the leaders but the people, and this is justified because the leaders come from among the people. And the weird thing is that when I discuss these things with other Africans in America such as Ghanaians and east Africans, they mention the same problems in their own communities too. Probably why Africa is the way it is today.

@ the coloured.

Nigeria major problem in two lines.

This has always been my view.

Thank you

if you know the number of white men who date black women...you will not state the BS in here...I stay in the most mixed state in the US and for every black couple you see, you see 2 mixed couples with the women pre-dominantly black and that did surprise me...would have thought it was the other way around


White marry asians are more except you're the one using racist goggles to view your community

Are you talking about your community or usa as a whole
