Iheanacho grew up in Nigeria and he has family in Nigeria. His businesses will be in Nigeria unlike Okoye so yes iheanacho is more Nigerian than Okoye. Unless Okoye is living in a Nigerian community in Germany.

This is wrong. Any general scholarship any American born in American can get, an American born in Nigeria can get the same if they have the necessary skills

you have no idea what racism is... let me quote American Gangster, Racism is when people of a different race come to a another person's house who is of a different race and maltreats or even kills the person...

I hope you understand that whyte people have to protect their interests especially in their own countries ( not the U.S because the U.S is a country with both Africans Americans and Europeans living there for hundreds of years ) just that most of them don't know how to be racist without been condescending, violent, abusive and derogatory towards another race.

if you're so concerned about racism then you should be more concerned about N:igeria's current pr:esident than me...

Please this is sports thread, if I have to explain this issue the entire thread will be derailed...

I dislike when people from outside a region/place are feeling entitled to 100% of all the opportunities in that region that they don't belong to just because they look down on the credentials of the original owners and leaving the original owners with 0% or "3%" and the only way to fix it is to create a quota, a quota where the original owners always have at least 55%...

please lets stop here...

the U:S is a different ball game entirely...
O:bama is not African American by ethnicity but he became the first b:lack president..
H:arris is not African American by ethnicity but he became the first b:lack vice president..
A lot of opportunities that should go to African Americans go to people that are considered "black and brown" people...

when African Americans complain people like you call them lazy meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of African Americans graduating from university yearly but other "black and brown" some of whom have better results than AA's get the jobs...

Again, please let's stop here,
I won't respond to any comment regarding tribalism as you guys don't seem to understand the difference between blocking/ side-lining COMPETENT indigenes from opportunities and sharing their opportunities with them by ensuring they ( COMPETENT INDIGENES ) get 55% quota..

U:S is developed but AA's couldn't use the same bus with whyte people ( even in South Africa ), the thriving business district that AA's created for themselves was burnt to the ground by whyte people.. will you call that patriotism
U:S is developed but it was a crime to be black and educated, will you call that patriotism

lack of sentiments is why a govt official will take money meant to develop a local govt in his/her home state outside Nigeria or even outside his/her home state and put it somewhere else and when his people complains he/she blames the FG...

tribal sentiments and religious sentiments must never be in the same sentence.. they are two different things entirely...

so you're saying states like Bayelsa, Akwa-ibom e.t.c.. should employ only Yorubas and Igbos because they get the best scores yearly both in waec , jamb and university courses.

when was the last time someone who wasn't Yoruba or Igbo got the overall best result in Jamb, waec, university courses... To you does it mean that people who are not Yoruba or Igbo are dull


If we go by merit based on results in Nigeria, Yorubas and Igbos will clear out most of the opportunities in Nigeria...

What you wrote up there didn't follow

The reason why a Local government chairman, senator, governor etc steals money meant for their constituency is because of lack of patriotism not sentiments....

Sentiments has never done well for nigeria and will never do well, sentiments makes us see the prosecution of a politician from my LG who stole money as witch hunting and all sorts because of primordial sentiments

Primordial sentiments is whats happening in south africa right now even when it is obvious that the ex president is guilty and disrespecting court summons his supporters out of sentiments turned the cities into chaos and anarchy

Merits will ensure the best gets the opportunities and as such encourage other youngsters to do same and see them as role model

U need to wake up to think that sentiments are mostly tribal

Sentiments can be attached to race, tribe etc the one you're used to is tribal because that's the one u are more consumed in

We're talking about patriotism other know as nationalism...the absolute love for your country thats why many of us are here because we love the national team

Have you interacted with a foreign born Nigerian before sir?

You would have known that it is not by who grew up in Nigeria. Some of these people you are defending have little or no love for the country and care only about themselves and their families. The ones you are disparaging have people with real love who go to several lengths to learn more about the country, it's culture, food, music e.t.c. These are what some Nigerians despise. Even some blacks like Nigeria more than the Nigerians themselves. SMH.

you have to be trained to be competent, most footballers and athletes attend at least a football academy or sports academy before they can be considered for a professional career.. so most professional athletes you see today have the competency ( necessary sports education both theory and practical ) but the talent may not be there.

you can't compare players that play for Manchester United and players that play for bristol rovers fc.

the A:laba situation is a different issue entirely, can also be attributed to toxic tribalism against the SW... its the one of the same reasons Nigeria didn't tie down Saka, Akanji , adebayor e.t.c..

Really? But they managed to tie down yorubas like Balogun, Agboola etc. SW brethren like Marvin Ogunjimi, Dennis Aogo, Patrick Owomoyela and Sidney Sam were also affected by the toxic tribalism or currently a certain Adarabioyo who has shifted the goalpost after initially expressing interest to represent us, my friend shift.

I beg to disagree. Feeling of attachment towards a particular country is a personal thing. Some parents pass down their culture to the offspring, regardless of where they live. An individual that grew up in Naija with all the frustration and suffering in this country, would probably not think home if by chance the individual migrates to a developed country.

By the way, establishment of business in a country requires sound business knowledge and resources. An individual must not be born there to establish a thriving business.

Indian migrants , African migrants , Haitians, Jamaicans and anyone with melanin whose ancestors weren't enslaved in the U:S for over 400 are considered B&Bs..

AA's are also called B&Bs by the media and this makes opportunities meant for them go to other B&Bs groups afterall if an African/indian migrant gets a job in a Whyte dominated company they will be classified as AA in the company's racial diversity report.

Let's stop here. I'm only responding because you claimed not to know who B&Bs are..

Another important thing is that there is nothing like equal opportunities. One group will have higher percentage of people than other groups. As long as that one group is not trying to sideline other groups it will be okay.

I will not respond again.

Picking competent foreign based players is not mediocrity.

Nigeria currently has competent Nigerians in Nigeria and outside Nigeria in a lot of professional fields.

So you're saying we should let the ones in Nigeria become jobless and hire only Nigerians born outside Nigeria.

Would your parents have been able to send you to school if only Nigerians with foreign degrees were getting all the jobs

While growing up, my dad insisted that education is the best legacy he would give us.

Look let me tell you, greatness is in all parts of the world. Regardless of the person's background, the individual will always thrive. So the land is big enough for everyone to thrive, just that corruption never really allowed the country to move forward.

While growing up, most elderly people within my area, with only primary school education speak and write good English. Not to even mention those that were able to complete secondary education. They were mostly employable.

The reverse is now the case as some graduates are unemployeble. It is an unfortunate situation really. Please some people that studied abroad are not necessarily more knowledge than some people here. We have or should I say had good brains here cuz corruption have made them to move out in search of secured future for themselves and their families.

Someone who has 9A's and a person who has 8A's and one B2. The someone has a better result than the person and that means both of them are competent. But the someone with 9A's will get picked over the person with 8A's who is also competent.

Yes the land is big enough but the opportunities are not big enough for everyone to thrive.

Northern Nigeria is big enough but the opportunities and money are in southern Nigeria and that's one of the reasons they won't want Nigeria to separate.

More graduates are actually employable now than then but opportunities are scarce.
