cococandy:
Sagamite what's your sagakids going to be about?

Well obviously it's about kids but how?

You know I have never been conventional nor am I follow-follow.

My kids are going to be educated innovatively and in my way.

Right from when they are young, I will be training them on business, success and customer services.

Getting a job would be a stepping stone or a last resort. Not the reverse we have in Africa right now.

My kids would be smart, good looking and successful.

cococandy:
Damiso and 2catwoman. You're right about the Asian communities. Even here, they run the show on black beauty products. And boy do they know the market.
You'd think something we use so much would be on our list of things to invest in.

One more thing they've started doing is African food. On a few occasions my African store didn't have everything I wanted but sure enough, Asian food stores have them. Those people have ijebu/upper iweka blood in them.

I think what helps them is that their identity is still intact and they take great pride in being who they are. There's hardly any major town or city you go to without it having an Asian sector that's just Asian. From buildings to language and everything. Just like stepping into the real deal.

Blacks despite our population don't have anything like that. There's like no pride in our culture. Maybe slavery is really to blame for that. Or maybe we don't really have any honorable cultural practices worth preserving.

Black mentality is to blame.

Stop blaming something of 200 years ago.

The blacks that are back in Africa that were never slaves, are they doing any better?

I have been thinking about this issue in my rage with the black race.

Heheheheee,salsera,i will beat u o! Had no choice than to applaud the writer. He should be a columnist somewhere.
Honestly, can't remember when last I read something this good here.

@Efe, that why I love u, u went to church unlike edwife that was waiting for futball.
Pray her team don't win

I never get this opportunity for intellectual debate on NL anymore.

Don't worry, I would soon find a platform to be a regular columnist soon so you can read more.

Thanks to EfemenaXY for inviting me to discuss something sensible than "See the tattoo on Seyi Shay" on FP.











Notyourb1tch.

damiso:
I know.I am guilty as well I won't lie.I want my children to excel and go to red brick Unis so they can get good jobs.
We need to have a broader view of things, see a gap/need in the market and fill it.Its not even like these Asians are the innovators or makers of these black beauty products but they just seem to dominate it at all levels.
Another thing though, can the entrepreneurship spirit be taught? I think its partly inborn.My mum worked for years in the civil service but success to her was always owning a business and not necessarily becoming the MD.

And the few that do go into business are poor at it.

Instead of being the best they can be, they do poor work, they are looking at how to cheat their customers, are rude to them or are not innovative.

Virtually all black businesses are like that

Some are even "Stunning" and "Stuns".

When others from outside enter market, they do better and eliminate them.

I just realised the paanla I eat is actually made in Finland?

Not Uyo.

Not Sapele.

FINLAND!

Indian sells me the Indonesian hair I give my babymamas (lying to them it is Brazilian).

Can you imagine anyone selling Jewish stuff to Jews?

I swear watch out for my Sagakids.

Different orientation, mentality and education.

Durent:
if i may ask wat is fuuktard

Fcking reetard

damiso:
Very true..arguments can be made for/against their sometimes borderline 'clanish' behaviour but there are loads of lessons to be learnt from them.
I am very very fascinated by the success of Asian communities in diaspora. I went to get some hair care products yesterday and 99% of Afro/Caribbean hair care stores are owned by Asians.Black beauty business is a billion pound industry of which we are the highest consumer and they run it . What can we lay claim to , highesr number of churches maybe I am a Christian but really we need to restructure and embrace entrepreneurship.
They are surely doing something right and you are right its starting from the home and communities.

We are too busy looking for jobs.

There is no entrepreneurial inclination except we can't get jobs.

All of you, watch out for my Sagakids.

Una go hear!

EfemenaXY:

Very very true
Once you are out of the circle, you have got to be extra good to break forth

There was a career booklet (TARGET) produced by Guardian newspapers about 8 years ago to advise university graduates.

Fortunately, it contains a survey of what backgrounds graduate hires have, based on their ethnicity.

Unfortunately, I only have it in hard copy. Because it is only in hard copy, I have never thrown it away, it is still in my apartment.

Now let me show you how it is an advantage to be black in the lower levels PLUS how blacks are still lagging comparatively to other ethnic minorities by looking at some of the most prestigious industries.

Remember the demographics of the UK
Indian British - 2.3%
Black British - 3%
Pakistani British - 1.9%
Chinese British - 0.7%

Now look at the graduates getting the jobs and see how blacks are getting more elite jobs than their relative make-up of the population.

Banking and Insurance graduate hires
Indian British - 12.4%
Black British - 7.6%
Pakistani British - 3.1%
Chinese British - 16.9%

Investment Banking & Management graduate hires
Indian British - 9.8%
Black British - 8.5%
Pakistani British - 3.3%
Chinese British - 18.5%

Consulting graduate hires
Indian British - 8.2%
Black British - 5.4%
Pakistani British - 2.2%
Chinese British - 9.8%

Engineering graduate hires (incl. Oil & Gas)
Indian British - 12.5%
Black British - 6.2%
Pakistani British - 2.8%
Chinese British - 8.3%

Law (Solicitors) graduate hires
Indian British - 8.1%
Black British - 6.4%
Pakistani British - 3.0%
Chinese British - 5.9%

Law (Barristers) graduate hires
Indian British - 5.2%
Black British - 3.3%
Pakistani British - 3.6%
Chinese British - 5.2%

Accounting graduate hires
Indian British - 10.5%
Black British - 5.9%
Pakistani British - 3.4%
Chinese British - 17.2%

IT/Telecoms graduate hires
Indian British - 16.1%
Black British - 9.5%
Pakistani British - 3.1%
Chinese British - 7.6%

In ALL, Blacks exceed their % of the population. But these other minorities even do better than Blacks.

That means, whites have below their % of the population.

bukatyne:
Thanks a lot

So it is more like those in the lower ranks get bitten by the 'system'

Nigeria is coming up with such too. Some employers now specify the University degrees they want too. Even secondary schools matter that's why some parents spend all their life savings to put their kids in schools with outrageous fees.

Now look at this appointment:

http://www.bikeradar.com/commuting/news/article/andrew-gilligan-appointed-cycling-czar-by-mayor-johnson-36283/

Boris Johnson appointed this guy, Andrew Milligan, as the Cycling Commissioner for London, on a pro-rata salary of £95K a year.

He has zero experience in the transport (talk less of cycling) industry.

He has zero experience in policy formulation.

So he effectively has zero experience in cycling policy formulation to be given the top job in cycling in the UK.

All he had was a Cambridge degree.

The only experience he could claim was "he rides his bicycle to work everyday".

Are you telling me, there is no white boy (park black for now) who has experience of cycling policy that could have been appointed for such a plum job?

Take another example.

The Child sex abuse inquiry the profoundly useless and dumb Theresa May was setting up recently to find out how the government failed in the 80s by not engaging its duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Inquiry_into_Child_Sexual_Abuse

The first person she appointed chairperson happened to be the SISTER of the Attorney General of the UK during the period examined.

The SISTER of the person responsible for the failure being reviewed?

Okay, mistake. The sister stood down.

Second chance.

This foolish woman then appoints another woman who lives on the same street as the primary paedophile (a former government minister) being investigated for the crimes the inquiry is about. Their families have dinner in each others' houses.

The argument of Theresa May made for her appointments was that they would be principled and independent enough not to be bias and try and protect their friends and family.

This useless woman kept on appointing members of the aristocracy, as if no one else in the UK outside this connected circle is intelligent enough to chair the enquiry.

Not a single media house put pressure for her to be sacked as Minister.

She is in the network. Let it be someone else not be in the network and see what will happen. You will see the headlines and "questions". Is she suited for the job?

babygirlfl:
Exactly. The tribalism in Nigeria is very bad. To be honest, I don't think our home country being in the news for the wrong reason is so much of a problem as we still see people from countries that are also from counties that does not necessarily have a good reputation making it to the top. Also black kids born here who speak in British accent and don't even have a Nigerian passport also facing the glass ceiling.

Go and check all the public universities in Nigeria.

You will see that you will never find a person of a different tribe from the region the university is located in at Dean or Above level. Only one rare case in one of the Northern states did I see that probably because there was no other candidate.

Those are suppose to be the Thought Leadership establishments of the country, educating and producing the best human resources the country has. They are junk.

Go and look at the top Nigerian-owned businesses in the country's senior management team (especially the banks). Majority will have virtually all Yorubas or virtually all Igbos. Only few employ at the top outside their tribe.

Then some ediot would come to UK or US and start shouting racism for all his failures.

Why does he not go back to his country and be successful there? Let him face his people who "love him so much".

SirShymexx:
[s][/s]

You're a stark illiterate and a gift that keeps on giving.

Senior Manager/Management is basically the same as high level executives - and that's where the Managing Director falls, you obnoxious air head with powder for brain matter. Senior Manager is interchangeable with Managing Director - that's the highest level of management in a company.

Again, from the Guardian UK (I'm sure in ya grandiose delusion and obtuse mind, you know better than the Guardian):



Anyway, I'm done for today, let me leave the thread alone - you're forever my biitch on this forum. Time for football. Any time you talk down on black folks in the UK and an experience you don't understand and will never understand, I shall smack you. Just focus on being a Nigerian immigrant stuck at low level jobs.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

The Guardian said "relatively" junior trader.

They did not say junior trader, you cretin!

Then you carried your moronic head here to say "he was a junior trader".

Now, your moronic arsse wants to tell us a Senior Manager is a Managing Director?

How daft can you get?

babygirlfl:
In your opinion, what do you think blacks can do to get to the top. I see some Asians in top positions. How did they get there ? We as black people need to find a solution to this problem so our coming generation would not experience this. I did like to see my child at such positions.

Get priorities right
Be interested in the right things. Not Skelewu, gym, fashion, pouring champagne while you work in Tesco warehouse and wanting to be an athlete.

Focus on success rather than being cool.

Go to the library, read your books, listen to the news, have an intellectual circle of friends, stay in school. Just have some intellectual levels.

Black men should stay and raise their kids
If you can't be married, because you are not with the mother of your kids does not mean you should abandon your kids and not be there to mentor them.

Then you carry your moronic deeck to have more and abandon them as well.

Too many single mothers raising kids on their own and having kids for cretins.

Be the best you can be
Be the best you can be in anything you do or say.

Take pride in your work and what comes out from your mouth.

Your work, behaviours and utterances is your brand. It is what is used to stereotype people.

The standard of work, behaviours and utterances of black people is beyond moronic. I would not employ 99% of Nigerians to do any work for me.

By getting your priorities right and being good in these priorities, the brand would improve.

Indians and Chinese are seen as brainboxes by whites.

Blacks are seen as cool ediots.

Entrepreneurship
There is too much focus on jobs in black and Nigerian communities.

Only illiterates normally think of owning their own business. We raise our best to look for jobs.

Have your own business instead of waiting for people to appoint you.

If you are appointed, you can be disappointed.

2.4bn Christians!
1.6bn Muslims!
43m Jews!

43m!!!!! Not bn.

Yet, the Jews run the world despite being a hated people.

Why?

Because they have a culture of entrepreneurship.

Lets start being intelligent and appointing ourselves.

SirShymexx:
[s][/s]

Stark illiterate, how does that negate the fact that he was a junior trader and he had seniors/superiors?

Senior Manager would mean Managing Director, but you're too obtuse and vacuous to see that - just as you're basically too dumb to know that institutionalised stereotyping in context of race is basically the same as institutionalised racism.

You're a dunderhead and village twerp, you incorrigible lout with the IQ of a panda! A cursory look at how limited ya lexicon is should give an insight on why you have problems with basic English usage.

Accursed m0ron, this is the hierarchical structure of UBS:

- Analyst
- Associate
- Associate Director
- Director
- Executive Director
- Managing Director

At analyst level, you're basically a trainee. From associate to director level, you're still relatively a junior trader. You become a senior trader when you move to being an executive director and further up the chain. And after that, you move to the divisional CEO level and keep going up from there.

I wasn't even going to clown ya illiterate arse before, but I had to do it to make it 8-0, before football starts. Super Sunday, in ya face, you despicable and irrepressible lousy oaf.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Did I not say I knew you were too dumb to have worked in a top corporate environment before?

So your daft arsse, in your moronic desperation, is now saying a Senior Manager is a "Managing Director"?

So a Senior Manager at Vodafone or Etisalat is a "Managing Director"?

Cretin!

Fuuktard, Managing Directors are called "Executives" in the corporate world.

If ever they are referred to as Senior Managers, it is often when one wants to talk about top officials of a firm from Senior Managers to CEO/MD.

When a firm is having an Away Day for its Senior Managers, it would include all Directors at Board level, plus other Directors, down to Senior Managers with important responsibilities (normally 'Heads of').

For UBS, that would be from Director Upwards.

Fuuktard, you have not worked at that level, you can not know such!

A director is a junior trader? Because you said so?

Can you see how easy it is for me to intellectually humiliate you?

bukatyne:
Thanks a lot

So it is more like those in the lower ranks get bitten by the 'system'

Nigeria is coming up with such too. Some employers now specify the University degrees they want too. Even secondary schools matter that's why some parents spend all their life savings to put their kids in schools with outrageous fees.

Yep. It is an aristocratic set-up.

If you look at the genealogy of majority of those at the top in the UK, you will find they are descendent from one famous person/family or the other.

These descendancy helps such people in entering the top secondary schools, which gives them a leg up to enter Oxbridge, which then gives them the gloss to say they are the best, the only ones that know the answers and the only ones to rule.

That is what Jeremy Corbyn is facing right now.

Out of all the Labour leadership candidates, he is the only one that did not go to Oxbridge.

So the press (full of Oxbridge alumni) have decided to attack his viability as leader by asking "Will he not alienate labour?". When actually, he is likely to do the opposite.

They are attacking him by asking an "innocent question".

You know that normal brainwashing "question" tactic used by the Media to create a debate that never existed ............................so they can point out that the debate exists.

Remember: 45% of UK media professionals (all newspaper editors, columnists and broadcasters) attended Oxbridge.

They use that approach alot in their pro-homosexual tactics as well. "Ask a question to create a debate that never existed so you can say it is a debate that is going on once the question is being answered, so we need to address it. Hence the debate continues because it is generating different answers and now it is established as a debate (which never existed before). Now it is a debate, then it is an issue that in its existing form might be wrong".

If you are not in that connection, irrespective of your race, you are highly likely to face a glass ceiling.

You need to gloss yourself with a top university and top roles in prestigious firms to have a chance.

That is what Thiam Tidjane did.

SirShymexx:
You're a village bum and an arguably the dumbest post on this forum, especially for a forum where there's a dearth in intellectualism. And based how how limited ya lexicon is - I see why you can't discern the fact that a lot of words have the same meaning in context.

1). Institutionalised stereotyping in context of race is basically the same thing as institutionalised racism. However, you're too obtuse to see that, you obnoxious turd and a stark illiterate.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

So you are saying stereotyping means the same thing as racism?

Who the fck is your English teacher?

SirShymexx:
2). You asserted that Kweku Adoboli was a Senior Manager, when he never was. Then twisted it to director. I guess you don't know that being a "Manager" is different from being a "Director". However, that doesn't negate the fact that he was a junior trader who attained directorship by virtue of his illicit deals and serial gambling, which created a bubble of extremely huge profits and by virtue of that, gave him huge bonuses.

Dude, just shut the fvck up - you're a bum, hence you think Nottingham University is a very posh Uni. Go tell porkies to ya fellow village bums on NL- you live in one room shared apartment in Camberwell and you have never worked in the City of London for a day in ya miserable life.

You don't understand the British system...and don't talk about a system you have no understanding of. Just do whatever menial job you do and shut up!

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

I repeat, have you worked in such environment before?

What do you know about it?

You moronically said a director at UBS was a junior trader?

In UBS, the grades goes along the lines of

- Analyst
- Associate
- Associate Director
- Director
- Executive Director
- Managing Director

The Director at UBS is equivalent to Vice President in other investment banks, you dumb mooooron.

All is just American-style overhyped title roles. Director/President of what?

Effectively, a Director/VP is a Senior Manager. An Associate Director/AVP is a Manager.

You cretin!

Fuuktard, did I not tell you I would humiliate you?

Stop debating with people beyond your league about something they are familiar with.

My last reply to you, you idiotic oaf. Don't talk about something you don't understand - you don't understand the system in the UK.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

You are trying to lecture me about someone close to my inner circles?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19660659

By 2008 he was an associate director and in 2010 was promoted to director. By now he was earning nearly £200,000 including bonuses.

Cretin, did you think there would be any junior trader (at analyst level) in an investment bank that would make £350K a year?

Have you worked in such high achieving environments before?

Why would your moronic arsse want to argue about something that is above your level?

Your moronic dumb arsse actually intepreted a newspaper saying someone is "young" as meaning he is junior?

You did not see "relatively", cretin?

They did not teach you grammar in school, hhoodrat?

salsera:
Hehe

Even moca's usual style of writing changed after reading Sagamite's post.



I like Sagamite's perspective. I have only lived in the West as a child and as an adult for educational purposes so I don't think I could contribute to the topic as such.

My childhood experiences are probably coloured by naivety so I don't think they count. As much as I went to both catholic school and a private school and I was only one out 3 black children I didn't 'get' what racism was.

@Efemenaxy

Lol there was this post of Saga's on Empire series that I read. Talk about pouring cold water on a fire, I still finished the series but Na side eye I give all the plots.

SirShymexx:
Do you actually read what you post most times? Let me ask you a few questions:

1). What's the difference institutional stereotyping in the context of race and institutional racism?

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Why don't you explain what difference and non difference you see in both.

Let me humiliate you.

SirShymexx:
2). So you expect all black folks to be stuck at the lower levels cos "the door is easy and wide open at the lower levels", no? How about black folks who are too qualified to work at the lower levels - they shouldn't aim higher, no? And isn't the ceiling about medium and higher levels?

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Where did I say that or insinuate that?

SirShymexx:
3). Was Kweku Adoboli actually a senior manager or a junior trader? It's either you don't know what you're talking about, or you just basically got carried away with the £360,000 he was making per annum largely cos of bonuses earned via being a serial gambler and illicit deals, which he was able to hide from his seniors, while foregoing the safety net. He's a fraudster. I doubt you understand how investment banking works. Anyway, the guy was NEVER a senior manager - just a former trainee that got moved to the position of a junior trader.

Anyway, I don't expect you to post anything intelligent as rebuttal. Hopefully, JayBee3, will be able to educate you.

You are a pure cretinous fuuktard!

Pure one!

Moronic fuuktard, have you ever worked in an investment banking environment before?

Who the fck are you to tell Sagamite about investment banking?

So what was Kweku, cretin?

He was not a senior manager?

Your moronic arsse is arguing with me about someone that is first degree within my social circles?

So a Director at UBS is a junior trader?

You are a cretin that needs that your tiny brain smashed with an hammer.

You pulled this moronic opinion from your arsse?

To those that say such nonsense as "The university you attend does not matter", research done shows that a select group of universities (especially Oxford and Cambridge) occupy all the top positions in the UK.

Despite only roughly 1% of UK adults attended Oxbridge and only 11% of UK adults attended the 24 universities (including Oxbridge) that make up the Russell Group, these group of universities dominate in top positions in all sphere of public and private life. More so in public.

The small percentage of those going to these universities hold a higher percentage of top roles.

XavierBlue:
Back in the early 1990's when Christianity was dominating others forms of religion, a lot of people flock to church. But those numbers seems to reduce over the years. The reasons are put below, though some are assertions.


Xavierblue

You seem to have missed out the basics like:

1) They practice other religions.

2) They think Christianity and the bible (like all other organised religion) is moronic nonsense.

There is nothing wrong with it, but if I was a pastor, I would not let her have her wedding in my church.

Many of these ediots just want a "pretty" wedding. Nothing is religious about them.

Very deep and concise.

babygirlfl:
Sagamite. Your write-up was very interesting to read. I think some black people both men and women also use racism as an excuse why they don't achieve much. What do you think?

Thanks.

That is actually one of the MAIN factors why the black race is a failure and full of failures.

The already prepared and self-convinced excuse of being a victim: racism, colonialism and slavery.

If you have an excuse to fail before you start anything or any task, then you are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more likely to fail.

It is a get out of jail card repeatedly used by black people.

When I go around on NL calling those screaming "racism" cretinous fuuktards, a lot of people don't understand the mentality I am helping to improve.

Blacks have misplaced priorities, don't work hard enough and don't try to be the best they can be.

That is the quality of Nigerians.

The mentality is fcked.

Many people are not only corrupt and unprofessional, but completely incompetent in their jobs.

Then you have fuuktards like these with their ready excuse: racism, colonialism and slavery.

Finally, some intelligent talk.

Nice one, Tearoses and Damiso.

@Sagamite, Jaybee3, and SirShymexx: I'd love to read your views on institutional racism in the UK from a working black man's perspective. Is it truth or myth that the ceiling of achievement for certain highly paid positions are mirages / made of glass? And that the doors only swing open for just ONE black man, then get firmly closed off against more of our men?

There is hardly anything like institutional racism in the UK. What you have is institutional stereotpying and institutional connections. Same as everywhere in the world.

As a black man, I actually think if you are well qualified, the door is easy and wide open at the lower levels. It is actually an advantage to be black at the lower levels. They will check your quality and if your are of the right quality, they will walk you through the door.

The challenge for the black man in the UK is at the top. Unfortunately, this is where institutional stereotpying and institutional connections come in.

People at this level are hired based on who you know and what gloss you have. There is still an aristocratic class still ruling the country. If you are not networked with this class and not an Oxbridge (or, at least, Top 10 uni grad [where posh kids go]), then you will struggle to break into the top, be you white, brown, black, green, blue or whatever.

Many blacks are not connected in this network. They did not attend Eton, Winchester, Harrow, St Paul's etc and then follow on with a degree at Oxford, Cambridge or LSE. Those high schools are where most top positions are already being shared. The connections made.

Look at Kweku Adoboli. He was black but rose to the top quickly. Within 5 years, he moved from back office analyst role to front office senior manager role making £350K a year and spending £5K a month on renting a one-bedroom apartment.

First of all, to get to that senior front office role from a junior front office role takes longer than that. Not to talk of from a junior BACK office role.

Secondly, it is extremely rare to have someone from back office transitioning to front office. Talkless of transitioning to front office and accelerating.

But he, as a black man, did it.

Why?

He was headboy at a UK private school, went to the reasonably posh Nottingham University. One of my buddies actually studied the same degree with him and knew him well. He was not exceptionally brilliant.

He had the connections, understood the upper class culture and knew their language.

He probably was also good at his job. He had an affinity to trading. We all have our natural affinity.

As for institutional steroetyping, unfortunately, many in the black race are dumb fuuktards. Other races tend not to see blacks as intelligent because of our behaviours, priorities, how our rulers have ruined the continent and our popular culture.

Steroetyping is a normal and natural (although unintelligent) human process of making quick decisions. As long as these moronic fuuktards keep embarrassing the few of as that are inch sharp, the glass ceiling would remain thick especially for those that do not have the connections and academic gloss.

To summarise, black guys have it easy at the bottom in the UK, but their rise to the ultimate top is limited because of primarily lack of aristocratic connections and secondarily stereotype. The aristocratic connections is still held by a few whites. They exclude other whites.

The place is sweet if u get money though. If u no get....see the above.

Yep. For the 0.1% with all the money.

The same ones who head for London, Atlanta, Dubai, Cape Town etc to de-stress themselves and enjoy advanced facilities.

Not for the cretins struggling to find the money to buy enough MB but yet, in their moronic state, feeling cool saying N50K is chicken change.

This is while the 0.1% is using less than half of this sum to wash their girlfriend's/sister's arsse as her Aristo.
