Uk2020: You can call it naive, we have all had our share of what we think is racism. But go down the line, you will see that it’s just someone being uneducated or exposed to things. Some end up apologizing if they get to see you regularly, some don’t. Everything is not racism. 1 Like |

MichaelUde: That’s my point, if it’s not in the society where will they absorb it from. That word is a big word, as blacks we throw it around every and anytime. Some of the things we experience, some whites experience them too from their own kind. Like i said, people who act in those ways we tag racist, are people who are not exposed. Try to get into conversation with them, you go see say them no know anything pass their office and country. 3 Likes |

Uk2020: It must be because Nigerians are actually amazing people. Since I’ve been here, the way my fellow Nigerian classmates rally around to help each other so no man is left behind has been amazing. I mean, this thread is also proof. Some of my classmates always mention that these Indians help each other without realising that it’s the exact thing we are doing amongst ourselves. I’ve only met fantastic Nigerians since I’ve been here. Yea, there are bad ones, but that’s just human nature and it has nothing to do with being Nigerian. I wish we would project the positives more than the negatives. I have a friend who is so proud of living in a predominantly white neighborhood, and he talks down on neighbourhoods where Nigerians live, and it’s such a shame that we’ve been programmed to see ourselves as less, whereas these Asians build their own communities and thrive within them. 11 Likes |

Akorkor: Don’t get me wrong, when someone complain to you about anything, you have to share their pain in the situation. But try to judge from a rational point. You can’t complain and I just accept your complain for what you have said. Sometimes we use racism for envy or jealousy. We have to stop doing that and know that the word is not a positive word. 1 Like |

Amarathripple0: Imagine a Jew going on a Jewish forum to tell them to avoid other Jews, or a European doing the same. They'll either ban that person or recommend psychriatic evaluation. Divide and conquer has been the tool used to ensure and people of African heritage never build together or form communities that will benefit them as a group. There's always someone or a group of them going around spreading negativity to ensure that distrust abound. There's a reason why you find Chinatowns or Jewish quarters in many places. If there are 200 million Nigerians on this earth, until you've had a negative experience when dealing with a hundred and one million of them you have no basis to come on a Nigerian forum to tell Nigerians to stay away from other Nigerians. If that's not insanity then I don't not what else to call it. 20 Likes |

Amarathripple0: Lol. When people are told to think from a different perspective, the next words are “copy”, “bubble”, “reality”. Like I said, most of the things we experience are peoples lack of exposure. Talk to them and you will see it’s an exposure issue. They are not exposed. |

Amarathripple0: First I never said there are no racist or that racism is not a word. Concluding someone is racist just because of the way they have treated you is equally wrong. Some people just dislike for no reason. We see Asians to be racist or accuse almost all of them to racist, visit part of Asia and you will see its lack of exposure and education that is affecting some of them. Some of the issues we call racism in this present day are just being with bad attitude. Analyze some of the accused racist cases, and you can tell it’s just envy, jealousy, and it’s related words. Forget about what people said, go out and mix with people, listen to them. Some people don’t even believe that there are people with dark skin. Some are amazed to see you that it scares them. This are things you know by experience. I have been to Asia, and in one of the visit to a village, people were looking at me like I fell from the sky, some didn’t want you to come close to them. They are not exposed and are not use to people of that skin. Some treat you in a very funny way. But because I understand their own situation, i was able manage some of the situation. The problem is some of us thinks the most of whites (Europeans n Americans), so when they show us their unexposed nature or lack of knowledge about things, we turn to the word racism. Like I said, some of the present day experiences are just people who don’t know anything and they behave from a lack of knowledge perspective. What I am saying is not what is expected to be said today, cos we all think we have to support anyone when they call people racist. Try to see things from other perspective. At least for yourself. 4 Likes |

jesmond3945: Since we are changing our world and educating each other, let’s start to share experience so we can all analyze and learn from it. This is a conversation we always shy away from, we just keep supporting and supporting. Let’s have the conversation. Tell me your experience of racism or with a racist and let’s all analyze with knowledge. Or how a white threw you under the fan or someone you know if it was really racist. |

Greetings all. My post is not entirely related to this topic. My questions is about getting a death certificate in Lagos. The Lagos State Government Medical Certificate of Cause of Death issued for my dad has the wrong age but it doesn't include his date of birth. My questions please: 1. Does this document qualify as the official death certificate? Or is it the document I would tender to get a death certificate? 2. Can the document be reissued with the correct age? 3. I would need a legalised death certificate from Foreign Affairs. Does anyone know how I can go about it, please? Thank you for your kind responses. |

Looking at the image below, if someone has a gross of £50,000 and the tax year begins in April. Will he be taxed 20% on 37,250 i.e (50,000 - 12,750) and then split it into 12 months (i.e divide by 12) or he will not be taxed for the months before his pay gets to 12,750 gross before he will start being taxed (i.e if the monthly gross is 4k, he won't pay tax for like 3 months first)?
