I'm sure the 3K he asked for was just an appetizer, he would have continued extorting money from her if she had paid... that's how blackmailers are!

Correct, the 3K was just an introduction to see how far he could go.

Kingcalls:
Anambra man ... another tribal post and seun and his mods posted it on front page and then end up deceiving the gullible that he is fighting tribal bigots on his platform.... seun is a tribal bigot because its certain he has instructed his mods to systematically promote tribalism , especially against the igbos

An earlier post, just few threads below , about a convicted drug guy in UK was mentioned as a Nigerian and his tribe wasnt mentioned cos hes yoruba ....but this one na Anambarian ....lol...seun, u and ur mods are a disgrace ... Tribal bigots

How do you know the mods are Yoruba ?

Sweetvie:

Where have you been ?

It's September 22nd here

Sweetvie

A very handsome man.
I pray that he is safe and sound.

IjeBos:
The sad thing is to be successful in the US as a black person, you have to play the part. Me and my boys laugh at how we speak to each other vs how our "lingo" changes at work. You don't stoop to the "enabling" racism level. But you are playing a role. Well, until you level up.

I got your point

akube34:
lol must I face it? You guys just like bad news

In other words, you live in Canada but racism in Canada is none of your concern. Right?

falopey:
So what’s funny about that? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

My apologies

IjeBos:
It's not just Africans. There are a lot of Black Americans who do the same. They think they are different and will be seen different. That by going a long they will be liked. It's sad. I see a lot of them in this forum as well.

Tim Scott is a good case in example.

Interresting ...

NairaMaster1:
Impossible

Possible for someone who is oblivious or disconnected from reality

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Thanks for sharing

@ Rossikk

@ TheCongo2

What is your point?
Does it mean I can't fight racism in Canada because someone in Nigeria is experiencing tribalism ?

Rossikk:
You will be shocked to see an African working in these offices, and the white colleagues would be making racist comments and the African would be smiling and laughing with them, not even realising they are being racist and dehumanising him.

That’s why they prefer to hire Africans. They are simple and naive with a racial inferiority complex, and whites love that, unlike the Afro Americans who fought them for centuries and know exactly what they are about, and will take no rubbish from them, including their racism.

It seems like Africans are the most miserable in the work places.

Rossikk:
He is their token black and he’s too dumb to realise it.

That’s why they ‘love’ Africans.

They just don’t get it.

How pathetic

shegzee43:
On the contrary, I got promoted even before I was due.

Dude, we are talking about discrimination on an entire race. You can't say there is no discrimination in Canada based on your 1 experience.
Maybe those white people at your work are using you as a token representation of the black race. And that is why they gave you that promotion.

shegzee43:
Do you expect the contrary when they are far more than us numerically? I have seen a lot of top executives who are blacks. This mentality is a reason why blacks don't want to take strides in high places.

Indians face much more discrimination but still they are going ahead to take over political leaderships in the developed countries of Europe and America.

And you think Africans aren't into politic in developed countries.
I didn't know that Indians were also enslaved to face much more discrimination.

Rossikk:
These mumu Nigerians believe that so long as whites don’t call you their N word or throw bananas at you while making racist chants, that there is no racism.

They are so ignorant, it’s disgusting.

shegzee43:
There is discrimination everywhere in the world and that requires a professional to be armed with that level of emotional intelligence to help glide through all kinds of situations. For example, I know the kind of people I work with, and I don't talk or banter unnecessarily, I do my job and that's it.

With respect to the bolded, do you care about the fact that seventy-three percent of the senior executives are white? And only 2% are black.
Do your job as you say you do. But your white colleagues are more likely to be promoted before you do.
Nothing will change if we live in denial.

lagonovo:
Why bother with subtle nuanced behaviors? If the person is not bold enough to boldly make a stand on something that relates to me then I don't see that as any business of mine. I am not a mind or code reader.

The subtle nuances are the reason why seventy-three percent of the senior executives, men and women, are white. While only 2% are black.
For the advancement of black people, we can't ignore subtle racism.

@Professor822714

shegzee43:
Three years in Canada, the only black in a white dominated office. I haven't seen or heard anything that looks like racism. However, you will be surprised that I experienced the worst form of racial treatment, working in an Indian Oil and gas company in Nigeria.

Racism in Canada is more subtle than obvious.
You will never see or hear anything racist. However, the more time you will spend in Canada, the more you will feel racism.
This is why it is called subtle or everyday racism.

oakenfold:
These idiots come to the USA, stand on the achievements from centuries of the struggles, blood and lives of Afro-Americans, then side with white racists. Spewing white racist talking-points with no shame, even as they try to roll back progress.

Very sad and ungrateful

Rossikk:
You are BRAINLESS AND DUMB.

It’s not hard at all to go online and locate ACADEMIC STUDIES which EASILY PROVE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION in Canada and the US.

So it’s not something you ARGUE it doesn’t exist or is only 1%.

This is why Afro Americans can’t stand you people.

You are proper Coconuts and House negroes, as they term SELLOUTS.

During slavery there was the field negro and the house negro.

The field negros did the hard work of picking cotton in the fields, while the house negro lived in the ‘massa’s house’ and was more comfortable working as a servant in the house.

When the field negroes plotted to ambush the ‘massa’ or escape, the house negro, if alerted, would inform the white ‘massa’ of their plans, and wreck the program.

A full 95% of Nigerians like you are HOUSE NEGROS.

You are disgusting.

Be very careful, you are talking to a flight trainee learning on the job working as a flight instructor

falopey:
There is. My point is, black people’s mind have been reconditioned to see everything as racist when 99% of the time it’s not. Leftists capitalize on that to manipulate black people for votes

So! your conclusion is that there is no racism in Canada.
Have you lived in Canada?

People are talking about their personal experience with racism and you are here talking about vote and politic.

ayandee:
Yeah. I have worked with them and built social relations with them outside of work. Even the nicest of them have that bias. I understand it and don't take it personally.

I love them and enjoy having their perspectives and feeling their pulse on various issues.

You wrote something very powerful that the majority of people are missing:
Whites are very accepting of you as a black provided you stay within certain defined limits that exists in their subconscious minds.

Black people who claim they had never experienced racism is because those Black folks are standing where the white people want them to stand.
From my experience, as a black person you can't live in the west and never been discriminated against. It is close to impossible.

falopey:
Tell me, what do you think will happen to any government institutions or Canadian Human Rights employees that openly speaks out against BLM or lgbtq by saying there are only two genders. The speaker will be fired and cancelled. That’s only the fact you need that explains it all

So, your point is, there is no racism in Canada. Right ?

oakenfold:
A lot of self-hating black people here. Inferiority complex to the power max. Excusing the racism that is meted out to them.
And a lot of denial of racism. "If e no happen to me, e no dey happen anywhere" is absolutely idiotic of an opinion.

falopey:
We see it in the media what Canada is turning into, into the far woke left even worse than the US. It’s an open secret. Conservatives, Muslims, christians are being forced to worship at the woke alter or be jailed in Canada or cancelled. All government institutions in Canada are now lgbtq and BLM compliant. Why wouldn’t they make everything about racism where there’s none

Okay, can you give me the data.
What is the percentage of the liberal supporters that work for the Canadian Human Rights commission ?
I need facts and not opinion.

falopey:
There’s no element of racism in everything you highlighted. Just police doing their job probably responding to an emergency call. Were you not let go after you complied and not trying to play the fool like how a lot of Americans do? Were you not allowed to leave after you were properly identified? So police can’t do their job again? That’s not racism

What @IjeBos had experienced could be a case of racial profiling. It is possible that the police work was mixed with racism.

falopey:
Everyone in that commission are mostly woke liberal just as the whole Canadian government is. So I’m not surprised. They’re still working for those woke politicians and your woke prime minister . They all strive on racial division to win elections. Black people in America are beginning to realize that. I’m a flight trainee learning on the job working as a flight instructor

Where did you get that from ? What is your source ?

ayandee:
I will share a bit of what i have discovered in my short stay here in Canada. Whites are very accepting of you as a black provided you stay within certain defined limits that exists in their subconscious minds. They are very ok with you working as a clerk, an entry-level officer in a bank or in a government agency or working as a support or care giver. They start rolling their eyes when you start breaking borders and moving into more traditional, professional roles which they consider their enclaves e.g being a lawyer or getting into management. You need to wear a thick skin at that level.

With black medical doctors and nurses though, they really don't have a choice. Same goes with IT. There's a shortage of professionals in those fields. I call them the "colour blind" professions.

With time, determination, a positive outlook, and having the right qualifications and skills, I find it's easier to break through those racial barriers than the nepotism and tribalism that exist in Nigeria.

Finally someone who understands how racism in Canada works.

U.K and Canada? Come to the U.S and come see something.

You get used to it.

He may just be oblivious to racism. So, even if he goes to the US, he may still not see it even though it may be right in front of him.

falopey:
Forget what woke politicians that strive on racial division for the sake of winning elections tell you. I have been in the US for seven years. I have never experienced racism for once. Of course you will get whatever you’re looking for if it’s racism you look out for every day you step out, you will get it

No politician had told me anything about racism.
Canada has a specialized commission that deals with racism. It is called the Canadian Human Rights commission.
The data of this commission are available and you can make your own conclusion based on those data.
You have been in the US for 7 years and never experience racism ... hmmmmm ... What do you do for living if I may ask ?
We may just perceive racism under different scope of vision

Billygee2u:
I have long stopped commenting on Nairaland because of miscreants and bigots that full Nairaland .
Before you remove the dust in someone's eyes, first remove the log of wood in your own eyes .
Before, talking about racism and discrimination in abroad, first deal with the tribalism, ethnic bigotory and discrimination in Nigeria.

What if the person doesn't live in Nigeria and abroad is the only home the person knows.
