For now, The Ooni should be better off reading prepared speeches written by Yoruba persons experienced in Yoruba cultural response to issues!

sweetilicious:
I believe you. You need to feel good as an African for you not to be deterred by any racist comment overseas.

Exactly the reason we should bring up our children in the diaspora in a manner that deepens their Africanness. Anyone noticed that Michael Jackson ended up a frustrated wreck having spent the larger part of his life trying to look like a Caucasian?

bamdexfarms:
Germans type of racism is the subtle type. They can not abuse you openly unless when drunk. They respect their laws here to the fullest.

Skinheads will have you by the balls if you encounter them alone in a dark alley! In Germany Blacks don’t go just anywhere at certain times of the day. It could turn out to be a dangerous misadventure

sharpwriter:
Lolz ... instant star

I assure you that you won’t notice the discrimination rooted in racism. It keeps the scales of sense of self-worth balanced in your favour and skewed in the direction of the low-life racist whose consciousness is ever tormented by your persona! For that reason some Caucasians actually consciously avoid Africans who are proud of their Africanness

olusledge:
morning sir please can u shed more light about the the jaw of the blacks who end up looking alike ..just a curious learner here

Such folks in their apparent bid to pronounce certain tenses in the way the whites would move their mouths in a manner that overtime gives their jaws some physical formation. The French also have such issues. Just observe. We have heard former Ministers who are Diaspora entities. Study their speech patterns vis a vis their jaw formation overtime. Some indigenous Nigerian wannabes will also show up on your radar as you look closely.

Freehuman:
What would you say about white women having butt implants to look like Latinas?

Equally condemnable. It is however the concern of the white woman. Latinos sense of self worth is another issue altogether.

desiredhome:
It's all our business because Nigeria is our country and we have the duty to make it work, devoid of criminals, it's just a matter of time.
Fela will always be remembered for standing for TRUTH.

Folks have encountered the stark raving mad who spoke the truth to power and to the sane! The essential part is who Fela Kuti was? You may wish to post a prayer here that you and your children will turn out like Fela Kuti!

gypsey:
okay, Honestly i want to speak German.

Easy take! Very close to English Language! guten morgen for example is good morning in German lang. see

gypsey:
I don't speak German, Unfortunately. I wish i could

Google translate should make that a piece of cake!

madridsta007:
I am not sure there is anywhere I wrote here that one should "fake" anything.
Being confident and super-smart is not the whiteman lifestyle- I am sure you know this.

Strictly speaking I wasn’t about you! I was actually sharing the same podium and notes with you!

gypsey:
help me ask am oo!

@black arse. She is in a country that Managed to accomodate and put up with her shiits! and she has the Audacity to claim racism.

And has on Caucasian fake hair/wig to make believe she is one!

gypsey:
Imagine, what an Idiot.

A gypsy has turn out to be!

Nukilia:
See this one Even Ghana with one of the darkest people in the sub show traits of racism... Whenever they see Nigerians, they become jealous and envious....

Same answer here! Just be yourself! That wins anyday. You are not in a contest to be better than anyone else! It is foolishness to compare yourself with others. Best to learn from them and add value to who you are.

gypsey:
Bullshit! why couldn't you learn to speak German then? if you feel frustrated, learn to speak German..Or go live in England simple!

And thereafter speak English even when you could have conversed in German! Soon his stupidity will shame him to sobriety.

madridsta007:
Exactly.

This is how to deal and work with them. Never, ever, ever defer to them or act lower than them. Never ever.
This means you have to be brilliant, super-smart and confident. This is the main attribute that shatters the "black man/ African" stereotype. Look in their face, eyeball to eyeball and hold conversations. Work smart and look smart. If your job or engagement requires that you look smart, wear a smart suit and look smart. Even on the trains, the train managers will not ask you for tickets nor harass you racially- they will perceive that you know your rights and are educated.

Crying out or cowering will simply prove that you are timid and the stereotype they know about the "black man". Sorry Sis, but this tactic will only increase the racism and cause further victimisation or as its said in psychology, covert racism.

Just live your life. Be you! Don’t die on yourself faking the whiteman lifestyle. It’ll only end up a poor copy! If I speak English in my Nigerian accent it is the responsibility of a normal human who is Caucasian to adjust to me just like I do when he speaks in his own accent. When you try to speak the way the Caucs do you cheapen and demean yourself! On a lighter note, has anyone taken note of what the jaws of Blacks who do end up looking like? Critically set out to find out and you’ll be amazed at your findings!!

amaniro:
Your brain is no where to be found... No where no where...

Thanks to you for speaking so correctly! My brain is me! Mine exclusively! Rare. Unique! Highly cerebral unlike no other!

I know several original Africans. They are proud of their Africanness. They speak their English when outside the country exactly the way they do at home in Nigeria. No pretensions. Prof. Chinua Achebe, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, Bishop Dave Oyedepo, Pastor E.A. Adeboye are shining examples. Racist pokes won’t get at such folks. Instead, the racist Caucs will get frustrated in the process and become sober.

scaramucci:
Only black people can stop racism.

By being original!

otipoju:
The key to dealing with white folks is never to defer to them from the very beginning.

I lived in the same house with them for 6 months...my land lady had to tell me one day that " you do carry yourself with some pride " i tell am straight..." You dont know what you are missing by not being from Africa and youll never know."

Africans who love to look like Caucasians - false hair, bleaching, fingernails, nose jobs, accent, lifestyle and all deserve the racism that come their way! The day African women braid their hair and shine their dark and lovely skin with coconut oil while the men comb and not Jerry curl their hair is when they’ll earn the respect they lost when in seeking to look like the whites they say by implication that the looks of the Caucs is best. They imply they are not okay the way they came into this world.The Caucs don’t want anyone copying their looks!

Which racism are we talking about here! Is that her natural hair she has on? You are not original and complain when folks label you a monkey!

desiredhome:
That is why thy are called zombies, ask Fela Kuti

Dunno how all these is your business! Flea Kuti lived a messed up life and ended up dying of AIDS. I guess that’s your pitiable role model.

By their fruit you shall know them!

Of what meaningful interest is that to you?

Johnnyessence:
you are only pained cos' of the victory God gave him. your lamentation here will never save oyetola the mandate snatcher from defeat. God has done that way, distinguished senator Ademola Adeleke will be swear in as the authentic governor and there's nothing you and your Apc party will do.

Your take that is! Meanwhile just post a prayer here that your children end up like Sen. Nurudeen Adeleke.

OAUTemitayo:
WTF!
Boss, are you saying the police has the CCTV footage of him being at Abuja while the exam was going on?
That one go bad o

Check out the newspapers! It’s out in the public space!! Sen. Nurudeen Adeleke is looking the rabbit hole in the eye as we speak. It’s the reason he is desperate to be sworn in as Governor so he can take the benefit of immunity from prosecution for the next four years. He might be moving around with his travelling passport in case he needs to beat it at short notice! However, it remains to be seen how far the billions of Naira his brother is throwing around on the project will save the day!

awoluyi:
It depends on where he drops out. Dropping out does not mean becoming a complete failure in life. One can drop out in secondary school for one reason or the other and still become very successful in another undertaking. There is a misconception about the term "drop out. "

Bill Gates dropped out of school to pursue a life passion he was sure to have a positive impact on how humanity lives. Gates succeeded. Truth is, Sen. Nurudeen Adeleke is at sea about life having played away his formative years! Granted, we all have our dark sides but it should not stop the typical human who is recovered from infamy from making an effort to comeback. He has remained a spoilt brat! What effort has Sen. Nurudeen Adeleke made to better his life like The Prodigal Son did when he came to himself? He sank further into the morass his wasted years represented when while seated in the Senate Chambers Abuja he fraudulently held out he was at a GCE Exam Centre in OSUN State writing GCE having employed a “mercenary” to do so! He is an unrepentant prodigal son! The Senate cctv Records for that day and the Hansard are available and indestructible to show that was where he was that day and so also his passport photograph as a registered candidate for GCE where his “mercenary” was apprehended by the DSS! A house built on quicksand will collapse no matter! Repent and be saved before it’s too late! More shame and doom await him where he continues to make believe!

Medicine after death! Who wants to be governed by a truant and misfit who has no credentials to parade other than orgy experience! Those who want Sen. Adeleke in office as Osun State Governor are folks in search of a pliable simpleton to manipulate in office for their selfish ends!! Great lesson for all. When his mates were studying in school to better their lot in life he was disco-dancing and playing truant! John Travolta danced for money but Sen. Nurudeen Adeleke danced for nothing! Now his black ship of the family label is on offer for laughter and his brother is desperately dumping billions of Naira to salvage the ship of a damaged political dynasty that also parades in David Adeleke a depraved son not to be proud of!!

Now he wants to be Osun State Governor (and in that capacity Visitor to two Universities owned by the State!) presiding over the affairs of folks who took their lives seriously and studied hard at school to succeed in life while he was frivolous with his indulging in truancy.

This depraved thing! Anyone who contests my post will do well to post a prayer here that their children turn out in life like David Adeleke.

Nogodye:
The man try but he spoil the show for himself in Ogun state.

When a man plays God he turns out a dog! That sums up Amosun!

Fairly obvious what they’re after is the patronage fallout of the dancing bear’s Governorship! Truth be told, they should be ashamed Sen. Adeleke a truant par excellence who has done nothing through the years to have a turn around is the best their class has to offer!

Meanwhile, Unlike Mr Transmission IGP Adamu is Working.

Bishi is good. He is proactive and that is all a dead place needs to come back alive!
