okposm: I don't think people are complaining per se, after all we too are immigrants and a greater openness to immigrants of any colour ultimately benefits all immigrants, if the 'native' inhabitants of the country are fine with that. And its that group I am waiting with great interest to hear from. Obviously the oyibo man didn't vote for Brexit to basically reduce the flow of white eastern Europeans only to have them replaced with darker Asians. Lastly, it's not a question of an immigrant opening up the UK to Indian immigration. It is apparently the foreign secretary, who is white, who favours the opening up to India, while the home secretary, who is of Indian origin, apparently does not. Of course, all that could be bait and switch, because if the home secretary openly came out in favour of this policy, it would blow it up. 2 Likes |

Chreze:Geniuses? I am not sure. I work in Engineering in the UK and I have worked with a lot of them across several companies and yet to identify any as a genius. There are very competent ones, just like any other race but one distingusing feature is that some of them are very competitive. It may be due to the nature of their educational system where competition is very high for the best schools and jobs. Unfortunately some of them take that competitive spirit too far by trying to pull others down, especially if they perceive you to be a threat (My Nigerian friends across different sectors have experienced this several times). They also have an advantage, at least in my industry, that once you are Indian, there is a presumption of competence (which some comments here also seem to suggest) and that give them an edge but having worked with them, I know better. But they are generally hardworking. TheGuyFromHR is right, let's not use our deficiencies to rush to conclusions and genralisations. 14 Likes |

I wish Nigerians can learn rather pick the faults or disadvantages. If they are not pointing at faults or disadvantages they are making excuses why they are like that. We have a lot to learn, relearn and unlearn so we can forward and allow others believe in us. 4 Likes |

Naturally when conversation start to involve emotions, I take myself out of the conversation, but I will keep this because, I have a feeling everyone who replied is very matured as there were no insults. That said, I still maintain what I said. Unknowingly you all have actually confirmed what I said in my first write up. I will add a snapshot of what a genius is, just to remind you guys as I also have that situation when I let my emotion take away my knowledge (I guess it happens to us all). I never compared Indians with any other race, country or people, I only pointed out what is notable about them. I don’t comment on things I don’t know, I said in one of my post that watching tv and them say them say is different. I sense “hustla” has visited India. Trust me my compatriots those people are genius as far as geniuses go. On same level with China (if not above). I don’t talk politics cos it’s something I hate (sentimental shxt to me). I am not talking about who ruled the world politically or who enslaved anyone. I don’t believe in all that. Those are things of the past that we keep bringing up to destroy relationship that we would have fixed. I have also said that Indian and Nigerians are similar is one of my post. Yes they are everything like the northern people of Nigeria. Those people are wonderful and great, bad Eggs, normal in every other part of same country. If your colleagues in the office behaves anyhow, normal thing with them, they behave in some ways. But that doesn’t take out the fact that they are geniuses if you use the dictionary meaning of that word. Plus, generalizing statements are something I am careful for, but with this I am happy that you all confirmed it unknowingly. Go to the country and see how those people solve their problems with locally made solutions. We Nigerians have that, but we have an inferiority complex which makes us to depart from our works and focus on the works of others. In conclusion, They are geniuses as far as the word goes. And sorry I couldn’t reply everyone individually, I been think say una go go church I no know say una no go go. Hehehehehehe. 2 Likes

hustla: Nigeria could be one of the biggest country on earth. We have all that this other people have combined. We have the brain to stand any level of pain to get result. That is an outstanding quality. But inferiority complex is what is affecting we Nigerians. Government, I don’t talk about them cos if you look closely, na me and you be the government. Nigeria’s present problem is parenting. We are bad parents in Nigeria. Take it or leave it. The day we start to raise our children in the right ways, that is when we will be able to have a good leader seating in high chairs and table. 8 Likes |
