This video is a must watch.
In 1957, 16 year old Nigerian discusses prejudice with his peers from South Africa, Ghana and Ethiopia.

It will be difficult to get even 30 year old who can speak as good as these young ones today.

The Ethiopian claims to be prejudiced against Whites and African negros. He believes Ethiopians are not negros but look like Negroes because their skin is burnt.

The Ghanaian is prejudiced against Nigerian because she sees them as beggers when they come to her country.

The White South African is prejudiced against South African blacks.

The Nigerian (Boniface) tries to defend the honour of the the African negros.

The video is a classical illustration of the Igbo courage.
The Ghanaian was talking like a shivering black man talking in front of her superiors and dare not talk to the white and Ethiopian because she has that inbuilt black inferior DNA. Reason why she sat her smelly ass in New York to tell the whole world that out of every races that she is prejudiced against a Nigerian (her fellow Negro)
The Ethiopian was just laughing like a goat in conviction that he is not the least sub human around, atleast he is not black.
The white girl was feeling like a God in the presence of her subjects but was later made to regret ever sitting close to Boniface (the confident Igbo son).
Then there was Boniface Nwa mama, Odogwu eji aga ọgụ, Onapụrụ ndị Ghana iberibe tinye na ọbọ, ofu onye ana agbara izu 1 of Igboland sitting on his throne defending the entire black race including the race of the shameless Ghanaian and ignorant Ethiopian.

I'm so proud of Boniface, he is a classic example of a proud Igbo man. However, I can't believe that these are just teenagers yet they were so intelligent, educated and informed, a massive contrast with the hordes of ignorant youths we have today.

Weird I watched this video yesterday on YouTube, I liked the one with Boniface he actually stood up for all black Africans and not just Nigerians or Easterners... He did school the Ethiopian who has issues accepting his skin color and origin...
I didn't conclude the next debate which a Northerner Mohammad liman I think, represented Nigeria.. Beautiful performance.

They are teenagers. You can't compare their educational system with the nonsense you have now. Then they have Men in their youth as primary school teachers not the lazy Aunties we had.
To confirm this, if you people still have any of those old village headmasters in your village, go and discuss with him in English and see his accent and reasoning. It is totally different from the nonsense we have now. Now we are no longer conscious of our identity and we have incompetency as teachers.
In my headmasters words "Education fell in Nigeria when men were allowed to leave due to low pay, leaving emotional women and incompetent teachers to handle the kids"
Irony of it is that the headmaster that said this left teaching because of the low during his middle age to hustle, made money and returned in old age out of passion.

I don't blame him. The North take pride in showing their stupidity like the one Ahmadu Bello did around that year about Northern prejudice on Igbo people.
Things like this needs to be studied by contemporary Nigerian Youths for them to know that this Country is more divided than what the Herdsman is showing them. The Unity of Nigeria is like the Unity of two warring races

We have been carrying black South Africans with our back since time immemorial but they pay us back with Xenophobia!!

This educative and historic post is supposed to be at the front page of nairaland! At least for comparison and analysis of the teenagers of today and the decline of our educational system.

Lalasticlala, please take this to the promise land!!

This wasn’t rushed to front page because it’s not a story on murder in the south-east or a report on someone with a Igbo name caught carrying drugs in south-east Asia!

Boniface, we’re proud of your intellectual exploits, front page or no front page!

And I am sure Boniface was a product of the public school system of his time.
Now we have abandoned the education of our children in the hands of emotional ladies and incompetent teachers, like someone above me said.

If you ever wondered why the Igbo man was envied back in the era of pre and post independent Nigeria that engendered the infamous fears of "Igbo domination" across all the regions in Nigeria... look no further than the sheer display of fearlessness, intelligence, and confidence of a 16 yr old Boniface Offorkaja who stood out among his peers in that entertaining debate... it all makes sense now why Ahmade Bello unreservedly expressed his deep hatred and paranoia about Igbos in that popular interview he granted to the British journalist...thanks for this video.

Our Nigerian experience thus far has eroded a lot of those values that made us who we are!

Watching this video (and a related 1955 video featuring one 18-year old girl, Minji Karibo from Port Harcourt) last night gave me goose pimples.

We have retrogressed badly. Goodness.
