Travel / Re: Being Black In Berlin/germany by Trenton: 12:08am On May 06, 2020
Danielhouston:


Tribalism and racism can both have the same effect. The only difference is that racism is worse and here’s why....

A Yoruba person may not like igbos and deny them opportunities, while giving it to his own person. But igbos also have the power to fight back and create their own. One group is not superior to the other. They will keep fighting and there’ll be no winner.

A white person or white people have the economic, institutional, financial power to control other races. The white race is also more in number than any other race. That is why they were the slave owners. They control the world. Their passport holds more power, so does their currency. A white person can live in Nigeria and not have papers, yet own companies. But a Nigerian has to pay €10,000 into a blocked account just to get a visa to study. Can a Yoruba do that to the Igbos?

If I go to a Yoruba shop to buy food and they don’t sell to me, I go to another shop. If I go to Germany and they deny me because of I’m black, I go to Spain, the same, France, UK, Canada, where will I go? And those are the profitable places that have the power to make my life better.

You also may not know which part of Nigeria someone is from until they speak or tell you. Hence they can easily escape tribalism. But being black is obvious. They can see color. You don’t have to say anything. Seeing you alone already disqualifies you. Which means your existence is a problem to some people. You can be bilingual and escape tribalism. Even if you’re mixed race, you still face racism.

However they can both have similar psychological and physical effects on someone. Tribalism and racism can both get you killed. Except that racism is on a broader spectrum that affects you based on your skin color.

Lol.. Even though I'm an optimist, I don't think my journey to Germany is going to be anytime soon cos of covid-19, financial situation etc

@2nd bolded, I'm sure you're talking about Neuschwanstein wink

I think the castle was the real-life inspiration for the castle in the Disney classic, Cinderella

yes bro...the castle is magical...sadly the king who built it never got to enjoy it

I see you are still at it with your spying work, Ms. Langley Virginia.

What's the point of this video? To drive a wedge between Africans and Chinese to further your white supremacy?

Politics / Re: FG Reacts To Killing Of Nigerian Pastor By Chinese Government by Trenton: 6:32am On Aug 15, 2019
Wickedfacts:
Pastor that doesn't have papers in China, he thinks he's in Nigeria where all kinds of lawlessness is condoned?

Nigeria is a lawless country, China isn't. The fact that Chinese are misbehaving in Nigeria and our government fails to punish them doesn't mean you should carry your madness to China and try the same thing there. Chinese can't try nonsense in their country cos they know their government is strict.

Let me tell you, a Chinese man went to a conference in the US and he touched a woman's boobs. She reported him and the Chinese government got to know about it. He ran away and the Chinese government ensured he was deported. Once he landed in China the Chinese government beheaded him.

Carry complete papers, comot eye for their women, mind your business, avoid implications from those that carry drugs, una no go hear. More than 3,000 Nigerians are in Chinese prisons and they'll inject you with poison before deporting. Una no dey hear.

China has poor human rights record and them go kill una wella.

The childishness exhuming in d pics ain't cute. Thank gawd for the museum of illusion, that's the onli thing I pick to appreciate.

Have gone thru front page n trending topics today n I felt this awful feeling in my stomach not seeing any reasonable effort to post something exceptionally educative or intriguing by anyone.

The only serious things one reads here are bad news n the sports updates (kudos to those guys over at the sport section, never a boring day wen yu see them talking about football with their Golden pitch perfect patek worth R2 memes). The rest are prrrrftt.

Nairaland has plunged. I need to go back to listverse n quora.
