You're taking to heart.

Kandiikane, Ogugua88, and Davidylan started it; and you can't blame him for responding the way he did.

Nigerians/Africans are uppity sometimes..

ogugua88:

Are you not African/Nigerian too? Don't straddle the fence.

Why did someone create this topic on the front page, with pictures from my blog but didn't reference my blog?

https://www.nairaland.com/981007/childhood-youthful-pictures-nigerian-heroes

It's not a good look. Tell the mod to reference my blog on the thread.

las_gidiboy:

las_gidiboy:

How about people who post in pigeon English?

We should learn to accommodate eachother's cultures despite our differences. What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Fine!!! let him diss our pidgeon English if he likes!!!........
but he shouldn't say we do not know how to speak English!
Except he wan see betta craze 4 Nairaland!! An African American should not tell us that!
It's a big insult......because they speak terrible English!
Even the educated ones!
Nonsense!!

las_gidiboy: I'm Nigerian/African, but I'm also from the black diaspora culture.

We need to be able to create a balance between the two cultures; if you think they're ghetto, they also have a right to call you whatever they call you..

Ghetto is their twang, just as pigeon is the Nigerian twang.

kandiikane: Ogugua, you should come see how these people who speak like that behave. Like bush monkeys. All those that took part in the riot speak like that.

I agree! A trip to bossip.com will show you that they write the worst English ever.

I thought written English wasn't the forte of Black Britons, but yanks took it to another level.

That being said, Nigerians aren't really better off too. That's more reason why we all need to stop picking on one another.

Shollypopz: @UncleN: you! i saw ur response oooo
i see kandiikane already dealt wiv you........
NONSENSE!!

las_gidiboy:

I was born in Nigeria, don't confuse me with one of your links.

kandiikane: You cannot compare yanks and britons to nigerians. English is their first language. Many nigerians learn two languages before english.

joeydozzy: can we just stop this BS and focus on what's here cos this English and A.Americans razmatazz is making this thread too serious. u don't wanna turn this into a political section. that's the main reason why I left there

UncleN:

Who are you again?

And why are you spazzorgasmasticating all over the thread all of a sudden!!! You need to get laid pronto.

ogugua88:

As am I. I don't think they're ghetto. I think they lag behind other ethnic groups. It's proven in exam scores, work ethics, welfare statistics, health statistics, etc.

AAs have the lowest scores in universities. It's always easier to get into AA-dominated universities. High schools with AAs dominating in populace fall behind. Why? They grew up in the same nation as Dr. Ben Carson. Why was he able to "fight the system" and become a world-renowned neurologist, whilst others are still blaming Caucasians and the system?

That is why you have such a thick estate accent.
