I reside in the US and it’s been an awesome experience, my city happens to be a sanctuary city and shares boarder with Canada so we pretty much have a diverse group of people from around the world. So from my personal experience a lot of people really don’t care where you from, when they hear my accent nobody really cares to ask but some friendly ones go a lil over the board to ask where you from I just reply Africa, cos fr you don’t want to waste your time teaching them Africa is not a country but a continent.

At my work place they had this perception of Africans been less fortunate and when we come over here all we did was work work work and send money back home to build huts and feed our village people who they feel are uneducated.

Cut long story short, at my workplace a staff had told me some of my colleagues don’t like me cos they think I’m too quiet and not smart, but God pass devil only 6 months to joining this company I received a nomination for best staff and eventually won my nomination, this came with a good check ($$$) and my people you really had to see how my name went around, these same people who have been working with this company for over 6-10 years acting like they know too much never even got close to winning a nomination came to me asking how I did it. And I said it was God.

I sha can’t forget this one...so on one special day while the office was quiet and everyone focused on the television someone tuned into the Dr. Phil’s show and this had to be my most embarrassing day at work, on the show came up this episode where some set of American women whom had all been scammed by Nigerian prince came for help cos family members knew they were being scammed and acting delusional....omo come see the way all eyes � come my side... had to tell them yea, we have scammers but it’s our politicians who made things go that bad that people gna have to lie to earn a living, and quickly my close friend supported me saying they have a lot of American scammers which they never talk about so he wouldn’t point no fingers, it’s was a lil bit relieving but I don’t think it changed anything.....

So personally I like to keep it real simple working with them, no long conversation, most friends I make are hi and bye... and I strongly believe my hard work is beginning to change the mindset of my colleagues toward the way they see Nigerians.

Just look at this overzealous Oyinbo wannabe ... you successfully rubbish all that is your culture just because you feel we should emulate the white. Though I agree with some of what you pointed out but you see the aspect of animal husbandry and food is totally rubbish and uncalled for.

To remind you, those are the food our forefathers ate and they live many years. So tell me, what's health and what's unhealthy. You said its unsustainable lol you funny, what has been on way before you were born. Your statement on our food is just funny.

What is wrong with animal husbandry? You cant ask me to life my life the way the eroupian or Americans live theirs. Heck, they take wild animals as pet dog, snake, lion, spider, rat, cat, just think of any animal and practically exchange intimacy with them... kissing, eating from same plate, bathing together and all what not. I am sure this appeal to you because it is the way of the white. Yet you come here to criticise our way. To me, I am yet to see what's wrong with animal husbandry.

Again, when has been loud become a crime or bad thing? Maybe they should be loud as well that way their suicide rate might reduce owing to depression and isolation. They lack social life, just too isolated for my liking. (You see what I tried to do there?) In essence, they are quiet, I am loud no good or bad.

Just change your mindset a bit maybe you will see clearly.

But isn't telling them you are from Africa perpetuating the 'Africa is a country' stereotype?

ednut1:

You guys speak English You have internet over there Bla bla bla. With all the stories about Nigerian scammers and Nigerian prince, may people still fall maga to them as they are not aware

Many of the Polish people are not racists. They believed all African men have big gbola and sex is free in Africa. They believe it's natural for African men to last an hour or more during sex. They still have some funny stereotypic ideas about Africans, some of them still think Africans live in the forests,that is why many of them find it hard to believe me when I tell them that I saw lions,wolves and elephants for the first time in my life here in Warsaw! They don't even know if there's any country called Nigeria, either you're from Somalia,Zimbabwe or Rwanda, all they know is you're an African.
A big challenge here is that Polish government didn't have any plans to integrate the Africans into the Polish society. There are no projects by the government to help in this integration process, unlike what Germany and UAE is doing at the moment. The African community here in Poland are simply on their own. We learn what we learn,and achieve what we achieve just on our own. There is little or no recognition of our presence here whatsoever. Even after securing a working permit, most companys still demand an attestation letter from your consulate.
I work in a concrete manufacturing company. In my company, they believe I don't have to wear safety gadget before entering the plant because I'm an African, they believe I have a natural immunity to acid and chemical inhalation. They believe we are naturally strong and we shouldn't care about our health.
Incidentally, the African community will for ever remain here in Poland. We will continue to grow in numbers. Many good ones will keep arriving every year.
If you have a valid residency or a working permit here, and you don't pass your boundaries, if you don't beat chest or involve in any illegalities,generally Polish are friendly.
