Also Mr/Ms justwise you always talk about playing the race card. if I may add why in the news today are they complaining that they are no white men in the top positions? Race will always be an issue, no matter how hard we try to pretend it isn’t. |

justwise:Honestly...this should be discouraged. Because of the society we grew, there's the tendency to think nothing is fair. We should reset that mindset. Things can be fair, not everything is partial. 6 Likes |

talking about being fair, I think the British (Oyibo proper) have been fair enough to allow everyone a seat on the table and to take whatever you merit....and I also think it is fair that some of them should refuse to have a non 'proper oyibo' as their number one if they can help it... 12 Likes 1 Share |

Viruses: Honestly its very sad, anytime something did not go our way we pick up race-card. Its only fair when we win else it is racism. This is not me saying that racism does not play a part in some decision making, yes it does but not all the time. 6 Likes |

Put yourself in their shoes and you have minority dominating the top positions in your country. Won't you complain? In Nigeria, we complain about other tribes dominating. We give jobs and positions to only "our people". Is this not similar issue? phyl123: 6 Likes |

We codemn Nigerians for voting tribe and religion but look at England who suppose inspire us and show us the way, see their voting pattern.How can you compare economic master sunak, somebody that would literally put money in your pocket as father xmas, a billionaire who took UK out of economic woes due pandemic with a war monger and characterless woman like liz truss? What does she know about economy? Even as foreign master how many deals she don sign. Na so we go vote for 2023, tribe and religion. Finally, all man for himself. 1 Like |

Chinlov: Exactly... Imagine a Russian being the president of Nigeria because he has a Nigerian passport and can speak English. Is that not Russia colonising us again? Truth is reserving that position for themselves is fair. If you don't like it go back to your country. 3 Likes |

justwise: I dont think this is about things not going a certain way. It is fair to speak the truth. There were two candidates and of the two Sunak had better policies. Yes, there were many things against him which included stabbing Boris in the back, not being in touch with reality, his wife tax dom ....etc dadidadidah....... So was Lis Truss, her affairs, integrity and she is also rich etc......... but the main issue was his race. The main radio and TV stations have debated this and come to this conclusion. Like someone said here that we should be happy that blacks are included on their table at all. Wow!!! This kind of mentality is self defeatist and baffling. This is 2022, dont compare the UK to Nigeria. This is a developed country. Blacks and browns are part of this system and intend to be wholly included and not just accept the crumbs from the table. 2 Likes |

LagosismyHome:In your eyes? This man literally saved 20 million jobs using the furlough scheme. He was in a rush to support businesses and there was no time for checks. I can tell you what the economy has made since then is far more than they underwrote. |

Viruses: if everyone had this mentality, blacks would have still being in chain shackles. Even the whites that fought for the freedom of the blacks dont think this way. The freedom that the minorities enjoy today was fought for by both black and white. Not everyone wants to settle for less. Minorities contribute loads to the system, its only fair that they should not be shoved to the sidelines. Russia and Nigeria are not fair societies so dont compare them to the UK. 2 Likes |

jesmond3945: Please remind them. And everyone knows this. Rushi Sunak is a very smart guy and had the best policies. He saved the UK from a full blown recession during covid . What is Liz Truss track record? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by phyl123: 10:25am On Sep 07, 2022 |
dupyshoo: All those big contracts in Nigeria, who do you think gets them.? An earlier post mentioned that we shouldn’t compare Nigeria and UK because they are not the same . Which is very true. If Nigeria were to be a fair society, more than 50% of us will not be here. It’s easier to let things slide and people get away with unfairness for an easy life. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by dupyshoo: 10:25am On Sep 07, 2022 |
This is not true. We will be paying the money wasted on Covid for years!! The furlough scheme had a lot of issues. Tax payer funds were wasted. I did not see any country that was paying people 80% and also gave them the opportunity to be working full time on another job. A lot of people were just collecting free money while working with another company. jesmond3945: 2 Likes |
