Op concluded that black man is hated because he's a liar and white man don't lie and cheat. I can't stop laughing.

If a white politician commits fraud, and GETS CAUGHT, The SOCIETY will ostracize him and he will carry his load


In black Africa, if you are caught in fraud, you will have your kinsnen and paid fools on the streets protesting to free you and whipping up ethnic sentiments

The height of this was the #FreeEvans hashtag last year.

In Ivory coast, some still deify Gbagbo despite the damage he did to that country

Examples are endless


So the deduction of this narrative is that black men (I'm resisting the urge to say monkey) tolerates crime and worship money.


According to falz----- This is Nigeria, everybody be criminal

Opinionated:
By Dr Aroms Aigbehi

One day, my wife and I were travelling from Miami, Florida to Cape Coral, Florida, USA. We had to drive through US 75. That road is Long and lonely, with very few petrol stations. Remember not to fall asleep because the road is straight , as if someone used a laser beam to measure it.

If you miss the last patrol station before the long straight you are in trouble when you run out. Because you will get stuck halfway at the Alligator Alley. You will find out soon enough why they call it the Alligator Alley.

The car was running low on gas, as the Americans would call it. ( I will further call it petrol.) So I decided to stop and ask if someone knows how far the next petrol station was. Because, I could only make another 40 miles with what I had. If it was too far from it I would rather go back to Miami to refill because I don’t like alligators.

So, we came to this nature reserve area and there were lots of people there. I felt safe. I parked the car, left my wife in the car and I walked about 100 meters away where other cars were parked. I saw two ladies and decided to ask them. I approached their car and immediately they spotted me they roll up the car windows and warned me to stay away from them. They were very scared and locked the doors of the car and drove off immediately.

Guess what? They drove to the other side of the park 100 meters away and parked next to my car with my wife sitting inside. There they felt safe because now they were three white women there. Remember the saying, there is safety in numbers.

I later found a man who politely told me that the next petrol station was just 10 miles away. So, I thanked him very much and started moving back to my car and these two women were right next to it..

Now, I was thinking, I hope these women don’t decide to shoot me to protect themselves from this ‘Black maniac’. I was trying to signal my wife to come out of the car at least to pretend she knew me, so the other women stay calm, but she was too busy with her magazine that she didn’t see my act of desperation. Now, I was thinking. I have protected you all my life, at last you have the chance to save me and you are reading a magazine.

Luckily, as I got closer the women thought the place was getting too dangerous and they drove away leaving my poor wife there to face the black maniac alone. When I got into the car, my wife said she didn’t notice anything.

Lesson Learned

No matter what you have achieved in life, as long as you are a Black man you remain a suspicious character and someone people have to watch out for. Except of course you are Barack Obama or Kofi Annan or maybe Denzel Washington. What is the difference? Everybody knows these men. They know they are not hooligans but not many people know me in Florida, for them I am just another Black man.

Primal instinct says, Black man is dangerous, RUN. That is not the time to figure out if the dude is Barack Obama or Kofi Annan, because then the same women would have come out of the car for an autograph. That is what you do when you get home. Then you feel regret. In the heat of the moment they must have been thinking, what a stupid and dangerous Black man? And I was thinking, some stupid White women? Actually, I thought we were all victims of circumstances. I wonder what ever happened to these women in the past. It was hurtful, but that is one of the realities of life.

I can just imagine their story in the next Tupperware meeting about how they escaped death on the US 75 from Miami to Naples from a manic black rapist.

Whether you like it or not, black people have a reputation, an image. It is that reputation that makes people to disrespect us. Not necessarily due to our colour. If we were green with the same reputation we would still get the same treatment. Then it will be the green people who did it.

Anytime, you see someone cheating, lying, doing corruption and other vices that is now the order of the day in Africa. Say something, do something. Remember, if you don’t, you are a party to creating the environment of disrespect black people face daily, whether for a job interview, or at the airport or at the restaurant. It is the same thing. We are being disrespected all over the world, no matter how rich you are. If you have a degree from Nigeria, they say it’s fake. I wonder why?

The transformation of the Black race must start with Nigerians because ONE of every SIX black person in the world is a Nigerian. So, we don’t have a cheating Nigerian, no, a cheating black man, Not a corrupt Nigerian, no, a corrupt black man, etc. You know how we can tell if someone is an Igbo man and the other is a Yoruba? White people can’t do that. In Europe and America Black is Black.

In Europe you don’t have corrupt White man, no, you have a corrupt politicians and a stealing dentist. Why, because the society don’t accept these vices and in Africa we accept them, and celebrate the people. That is why we are all labeled as such. We respect thieves, corrupt people and high level hooligans too much. So, we have branded ourselves to be such. Birds of the same feathers flock together they say.

No normal people sell their own people as slaves, Loot everything that belongs to everyone and bring it to other nations to develop themselves, steal food donated to their refugees, allow their citizens to live in disease and squalor. No, nobody that does that gets respected. The only different is, because the other people don’t know you personally, the only thing they see first is your colour and they base their judgement on that.

Yes, I know, it is wrong and I am not condoning discrimination but remember, if a lion is pursuing you, that is not the time to find out if it is a trained circus lion or one that escaped from the local zoo.

It’s time we hold ourselves to a higher moral and ethical standards. It is only by doing this the black race will ever gain respect from the world.

This article's spot on.

Black people have a reputation, and we need to change that

Racism exists because many of them deep within themselves see Africans as inferior beings.

And you can't blame them because for centuries , Africans have been conducting themselves and their societies as inferior people, slavery and colonialism notwithstanding.


When people get busted for crime, even though blacks are a minority, they are disproportionately represented in the violent crime scene.


The black man has a choice tho to redeem himself , because in the 21st century, no excuses whatsoever are valid.


But hey, black man like enjoyment so that's not happening soon

Do they use "jazz" to hack into a computer system

Na wa o

cooljude:
Slavery is Evil and you are intentionally shifting from the topic. The basic idea of slavery is to change humans to robot and commodities. Whether Arabs, European, Mongols and others maltreated slave.

We are discussing the influence of European slave trade in Bini Kingdom because they were the ones who affected the region most. Their was almost zero influence from Arab slave trade in areas bordering Southern Nigeria that had zero contact to Islam.

Slavery is evil, and all of humanity practised it.


Israelis were slaves for 450 years plus in the hands of Africans

Usman Dan Fodio ran riot in Northern Nigeria


African history is replete with stories of strong kingdoms subjugating he weak ones.


The Europeans exploited Africa no doubt about it, but thats the way of the world, whether we like it or not.

Throughout history, slavery and exploitation was the way.

codemaniacs:
a foreign religion or a foreign product is what promotes self-hate...

Africans never sold anyone into slavery as Africa was and is still the richest continent... the europeans only created paper called money to manipulate people into thinking paper money is wealth..

Africans had written and spoken language long before the europeans, arabs and any other caucasian race...

blaming traditional religion for self-hate is ignorance..

Did you say Africans never sold Africans into slavery,


You need a trip to Ouidah and Goreé
You will know the truth there

And besides, the world has resources deposited in different parts of the world, and Africa was blessed, but what is the use when they were too dumb to know what is beneath their feet, and exploit it to a large extent (well at least a few African kingdims were doing good with gold mining and processing, I have to add, because it's the truth)


It took criminals from Europe to subjugate them and exploit the riches


Well all that is past

Africans today especially the millennial Africans need to make that conscious choice that the exploitation is enough, and we need to build homeland that the generation after will be proud of.


there is no such thing as morality, so I propose that Africans go out there, steal as much secrets and intellectual works and designs that they can, and come home to replicate it (the Chinese style, and a few others in that region. they went the world, stole intellectual property and replicated it at home, to the chagrin of the west. If they have said its morally wrong to steal, they will not have got to the position they are today)


So Africans should do same.

AreaFada2:
God bless you.

People are so ignorant. In my place people suspected or caught trying to use spiritual powers to cause evil were seriously rebuked, exiled or fined and be used to swear ancestral/land deity, akin to "alale". Babalawos and such priests were essentially learned traditional practitioners who primarily helped to solve people's problems: ill health, misfortune, infertility, self & family protection against evil, etc.

Nollywood gave people the impression that every stepmother or uncle is killing everyone out of envy or to claim land. Patience Ozokwor, Chiwetalu Agu & Kanayo O. Kanayo typical characters are what people now think African traditional worship is all about.

African gods were malevolent


Wicked


Well at least the people used the powers for wicked things
We all know this, but in a bid to form "pan African" we deceive ourselves.


As it was commonplace in other African societies, when you mention "ARUSi" in Igbo circles, we know what that did and is still doing for those who are into it.


My ancestors were into the "offor" thing, and as the story was passed down generations, it did terrible things, until my great grand father had to burn them all and sever his lineage from such fvcked up thing


Me I know the truth and refuse to be deceived, most of those spirits were up to no good

Irokoroots:
Chairman, you can thank the wicked gods our forefathers served for inflicting us with self-hate. It’s the old gods our forefathers served that made us believe that it was ok for us as a race to sell our brothers to oyibo men or sacrifice human beings (just because we there are not related to us) just to gain small fortune or healing. In all the years our forefathers served these evil gods none had gave us the idea to form our own written language or stop us from naturally hating each other.

I will not blame Christianity. There are Asian Christians in china and India and their race seems to be doing way better than the black race. Ethiopians are mainly Christians but they were still able to develop their own written language. This made them the only African country not to be colonized. I can go on and on about this but maybe another day. However imperfect Christianity may be it is a lot better than the old selfish wicked gods our forefathers served.

True

Many "African" gods of the past were malevolent.

People sought their powers to afflict people

When I'm told stories about what used to happen in the centuries past, I shudder.

cooljude:
Europeans practiced the worse form of slavery known within this recent period. If you read what the conquistador did in Americans, what Africans suffered, what Native Americans went through and what Aboriginals of Australia suffered, you will not defend them.

They as a people have accepted and apologized for the wrong doings of their ancestors, so their isn't a need absolving them.

All empires rises with the blood and sweat of their does and the recent menance of Fulani herdsmen is also worrisome.

The Chinese industrial revolution during Mao Zedong time started as a result of him and his people consciously revisiting their history to know how great they were in the past and deciding that they would do whatever it takes to get their glory back, We all know what China has become in this millennium.

You cannot downplay the importance of historical facts my brother.

The Europeans did not practice the worst The Arabs did

Arabs sold slaves for a longer period, castrated the males so they don't reproduce and so many other evils.

Since you talk a lot about "history" that's some history too.

That's the way of the world

Strong countries conquer and exploit the weak

It has been that way since the days id Ancient Egypt

So why do Africans run their mouth the way they do?

If roles were reversed, the same will still happen


Humanity is guilty of such

ShitHead:
Is it a crime to carry shits in a shithole country?


#FreeTheShitMan

Shithole indeed

What kind of thing is this bikonu

So what if the statistic is true?


Are we not all Nigerians?

What is wrong with the African man

All these foolishness in the name of religion.

All these stems from the low self esteem deeply embedded in the black man, that he cannot achieve anything through hardwork and his effort over a sustained period of time.

you want to open a business, you seek spiritualist to help you get "luck" to succeed

Back then in uni in Nigeria, you will see people filling up churches during exams period and vigils, instead of preparing for their exams....

Too many instances

thats crazy

getting green card via this route is quite expensive.

hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Though a lot of politicians in Africa are using this route to get green cards for their loved ones, then citizenship shortly after

The problem in Nigeria is bigger than Nigeria!!

LMAO

Hypocrisy of the African o

It spans from the sahel to the creeks.

The north imposed sharia on unfortunate folks, and their kids are balling in Abuja, Lagos and across the world

The south impose all manners of things under the guise of morality, and their kids are junkies abroad, homosexuals, etc


What a society to be born in

DEHVEHLOP:
This op is sure to be an Igbo...


Spit on the thread...





Shiorrrrrr

Is this one okay at all

It's a serious topic here and you are talking rubbish

deloon:
I thought we were smart. I'm highly disappointed. How can we fall for this?

Nigerians in general are NOT smart
.

Ethnic and religious sentiments have blocked their brains

mysteriousman:
Government at all levels in this country is a joke sadly enough poverty will not allow Nigerians liberate themselves from self inflicted harm by voting the right people cos they will rather collect peanuts and vote someone not credible and claim they have collected their share or vote incompetent people cos they are of the same ethnic or religious group. I weep for this country

Exactly

Nigeria inflict this pain on themselves unfortunately


Look at the ethnic sentiment in the national space now because of June 12 and Abiola...

front4line:
Many of you Igbos are outrightly retardedd.

You want Yoruba to vote for a PDP that told us we of know significance during the election of their chairman against a Buhari who right 20 year old wrong PDP had 16 years to correct but refuse to.

This is not minding the fact that we hav the VP spot, minister such as finance power etc.

Your entire tribe need massive brain transplant because even a sheep must be able to reason beta than u do.

Your IQ must be very low

Sleyanya1:
A fact I've observed over the years, although painful but I've come to accept it for what it is (Reality):

"Most Nigerians Live for the present, choosing to have little/no memory of the past."

...Because 2019 is here, sudden moves will be made to 'memories' of the people. They're joy-filled to the brim, they can't wait to sow in another four years of 'Circus-movement Leadership'.

Nigerians can be very stupid

themanderon:
Nigeria is a kind of Animal farm. They destroyed the public education system that produced many of them and now farm their kids off to the best schools leaving the poor to perish and they think it will last forever? Well karma is coming with its double edged sword . Until a legislation is passed where its stated that if you are in public service your kids must be in public schools only then would we get it right. Rubbish country. Go to public schools in all these western countries and you will cry for the wickedness the black man is inflicting on his fellow men.

Black man indeed has been so so wicked to his fellow man

Pathetic

abokikhalifa:
Akwa Ibom my state.
A state where the govt officials prefer to spend Millions of Naira on Olosho from University of Uyo, Unical and Uniport.
A state where everybody is Planing to join politics from birth.

A state that as no job for its citizens. In Uyo if your are Rich is either you are a politician or a pastor.
Churches everywhere but yet as high rate of olosho and wicked people.

Oil rich state with high rate of poverty.

I had someone some years back that told me that if not for huge oil revenues, Akwa Ibom would have been like Ebonyi state (whatever that means)

This is just pure wickedness

That guy showing his "account balance" needs to grow up
This is a faceless forum, and should remain so

MartinCorridon:

"MANY" is very subjective sir. Can you put a specific figure to it? A % perhaps ?

The fact is the citizens stayed back to develop the country. That is evident today

You see the following countries

Germany
Poland
Italy
Ireland


They were the biggest migrants of the 20th century

Their countries (well with the exception of Germany due to the devastating war) were shitholes and they had to flee.

The highest number of Americans are Americans of German ancestry (Donald Trump and Zuckerberg are examples)

More people of Irish ancestry live in America alone than even Ireland. If you now add Canada, U.K. and Australia, the number balloons further

But today these countries are better than it was back then, so the migratory trends have slowed down.


The same could happen to Nigeria when/if things get better

joinnow:
How can this be possible in Nigeria

We are looking at the option of reverse migration also where you can actually stay in your country and enjoy everything you are migrating abroad to get.”

Hmmm....

If the country is not in very good shape

People might not return
Though Brazil and Mexico has had some form of reverse migration in recent years

peacengine:
This boy, you sure say you de enjoy your life so, you get girlfriend so? Nigeria may change but right now you still de invest heavily in Naija, na your type go go school go play with others still carry first while dem go carry last

This guy wan blow my cover sha

Nigeria is a good place to make money if you know your way

Just operational challenges bad govt and other challenges facing the country

Bolowolowo:
Yet they can keep millions of Arabs that rape and wreak terrorism on their daily lives I'm not one to be skeptical, but I've been noticing that many western immigration systems are biased against sub-saharans, Nigerians in particular. It is very mind boggling considering how well Nigerians performs in the West (Nigerian immigrants are the most educated demographic in the USA; many Nigerians perform well academically in the UK).

Well just so you know

Germany has been deporting a good number of these middle eastern folks

And not all Arabs, or middle eastern people are rapists and terrorists, the same way not all Nigerians are drug dealers, fraudsters and criminals

MartinCorridon:
Good. Let us all stay and work together to develop our country.

Those who migrated legally have no issues. They would have more money and better standards of living... I wish them well. But the illegal migrants should stay back to avoid trouble.

If the Japanese & Germans ran away after World War II, they won't be where they are today.

We collectively need a change in mentality; leaders & followers. America is what it is today because the people believe in themselves and they are ready to soil their hands to develop the country.

Nigeria is in a terrible mess...but we must start from somewhere.

PS - Part of "staying back" - cancel ALL medical tourism by political appointees including The President. That way those in power would ensure that all the requisite equipment are available in Nigeria. That's just one aspect. We need an overhaul of the system

Most Nigerians (especially resident in Nigeria and never travelled out before) have ZERO idea on how a developed country run and operate, and have no capacity whatsoever to develop a country

So whether they stay or not, the country would still remain a mess.


I wish there was a form of internship in which at most 20% of Nigerians picked from the six geo political zones are sent abroad to learn what it takes to build a country, the discipline required, the self sacrifice etc and they are sent back to Nigeria


Nigeria may change
