Those are white dominated countries. Why do you want them not to dominate the executive positions? How many whites dominate executive positions in black dominated countries? Why should the majority not dominate their country? You people want to reap where you don't sow. Whites built their countries. Go and build yours and impose your rules. That is what the Japanese and Chinese did.

Skyview01:


That is why it was easy for the whites to colonize us since we were always fighting, bickering, and hating among ourselves for no reason. The president appointed 90% of positions from his tribe, An Igbo president will do the same as a Hausa or Fulani.

we spend all our energies in churches and mosques and still beg for money from China, an atheistic country, No be winch be that.

In my personal life, If I do the same thing for 3 years and it is not working, I try to learn and do things differently in other to have the desired outcome. This is 2023 and Nigeria is not doing anything differently. The same thing we have done the past 20 years that has not yielded any result.
Insanity is doing the same thing and hoping for a different outcome. To be frank, I gave up on Nigeria in 2010 and what is happening now has been in line with my predictions.

TheCongo2:


And what is the percentage of the black population in the US? You speak as if black aren’t part of the American society

Gerrard59:


Tensa20,

Come and see. To think that 2010 was a great period in Nigeria's economic and political history. People went abroad for studies and quickly returned. Companies were organising aptitude tests in the UK for Nigerian graduates. Today, none of such happen. In fact, the rant about racism is nonsense. I was recommended by my friend to a Nigerian who promised to submit my name to a Japanese woman so that I could attend a workshop organised by a big company. He did not submit my name; as I suspected, it is because we are from different ethnic groups.

What did I do? I contacted the Japanese woman, who informed me that no one submitted my name and provided me with a link to register for the next event. A few days ago, the same woman emailed me about the next event, had a short chat via Zoom, and I got the invite. Something the so-called Nigerian with the same skin colour did not submit my name; a Japanese woman did.


Let those modafvckers call me Uncle Tom or Coconut, I don't care. I have benefitted more from the Japanese than from black people. A Nairalander in Tokyo tells me how Cameroonians and other Francophone Africans don't share job opportunities with him. But only the Japanese do.

I would align with the Japanese and Whites. Anyone who wants to cry blood should do so.

Gerrard59:


12-13%. So, what do you expect? 50-50% in terms of executive positions? Who built those firms? Who are the major shareholders? If blacks want recognition, they should build Africa and impose their views. Even Whites complain of racism in Japan, but they understand the Japanese built the society and want it to run that way. The same applies to Singapore.

Judging from America's history, I can understand the agony of African Americans. It is a reason I don't have a say in their issues. But I would never take a black African who complains about racism seriously. Black Africans lack the moral right to complain of racial discrimination.

Gerrard59:


So, what do you say about the tribalism in Nigeria and xenophobia in most parts of black Africa? If to say the discrimination we have in Africa is accompanied with wealth, one would have looked away. But no, poor people are discriminating against themselves. Does that make sense to you?

Gerrard59:


It is not self-hating but an assessment of the whole issue. If I were in Lagos in February, I would have been flogged. Even non-Igbos were flogged. More than 500 farmers in Plateau were butchered by people who looked like them. If those 500 farmers were in South Korea, would they have been butchered?

Blacks have no moral right to complain about racism, especially as no black-dominated country (population above 5 million) is prosperous.

hardcore007:
Na black man be racist. I’ll keep saying it forever.

If you like call it tribalism or any name, na still racism.

I’m more accepted here in abroad than I’m accepted in Nigeria.

I have true friends with people of different colors. We travel together, eat together, support one another and visit each other.

Akatas are the only people I’ve experienced racism from. So black people are always against each other despite the fact they have one color. Isn’t that stupid?

oakenfold:


Is your argument really that people cannot complain about inter-group issues just because they experience intra-group issues? You are a mental midget. You are just trying to derail this topic with your infantile cryings about tribalism. Start your own thread on the topic. If it were up to ******* like you, black folks would still be sitting at the back of the buses in the USA. Because, what about tribalism in Africa. See a therapist for your black self-hate. Ass-wipe. Adios!

planetx:
Didn't want their fellow oyinbos see them hanging out with niggas. They later entered the club and pretended they never came with us.

wolverine78:
Fck your stupid myopic mindset. I've lived in the US about 20 years. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood. My white neighbors are the best. When I lived in a Black neighborhood, my Black neighbor will come borrow everything and never return it. I'd rather Bleep with a White Person than a Black person. You live in Nigeria where there is no racism, how is that working for you. Keep believing that rasicm is what is holding you back like most dumb ass "African-Americans" (I don't even know why they call themselves African-Americans and they are not even from Africa. Me being from Africa I'd rather be referred to as an AMERICAN)

Skyview01:


I worked in a predominantly Yoruba company and an Igbo guy will never smell promotions or better positions. Before that, I worked at a predominantly Igbo company and a Yoruba person will never be given a good position.

An Ethiopian will prefer to patronize their fellow citizens and pay a higher price than to patronize other nationals.

I know a lot of Anambara women who will never allow their child to marry Imo or Ebonyi person.

I see lots of Igbos look down on Ebonyi people and the list goes on.

We like to play the victimhood card but I have come to realize that blacks are one of the most discriminatory among all the races on earth.

oakenfold:


And I am trying to push into the vacant skull of some of you clowns that some people are just racist. They are not some victims of the media brainwashing. Some full grown adults have made the choice to be racist. You do not need to dig into the crevices of your asses to find them an excuse. Japan is a place that even white folks sometimes talk about the racism they've experience. Must be the TV's fault, or the water. Blah blah

Myer:


Racism/tribalism is inevitable.
If Black Americans can be racist towards Africans, South Africans towards Nigerians, Igbos towards Yorubas and Hausas, and vice versa then pray tell, why should a Japanese not be racist towards a Nigerian?

But it will be foolish to assume every one is racist/tribalistic or a victim of racism/tribalism.

What some have shared here is simple, perhaps they have not been victims of racism because they carty themselves in a way that has earned them respect because they do not dress like thugs or "move mad" like some victims of racism do.

Your comments so far only depict you as a very myopic, emotional and juvenile person attacking everyone who shares a different opinion from yours.
People here sharing their own opinions from personal experience yet you want to force your own opinion on them.

If you've been a victim of racism, simoly share your own experience like a normal person and people will definitely also agree with you but immaturity will not let you. Know this and know peace, Life does not begin and end with you, in fact youre very little and almost inconsequential in the scheme of life. Until you actually stop living a very selfish life and actually contribute meaningfully to life. Whether positively or negatively, the choice is always yours bearing in mind that to every decision/action there's is a reaction and consequence either in this life or after.

Once again, go for healing. Your family and future kids depend on it.

IjeBos:
I'm in the US, based in the Northeast. It's here. My friends with black boys have to have the conversation with their sons about how to interact with police. It's sad to have to discuss. And also to remind them that though they may live in the same neighborhoods and go the same schools as some of their friends, at times they may not be seen or treated the same.

My niece was telling me the other day, that she's not pretty and her hair's not pretty. She's 9. Was confused and then she explained that a white girl in her school told her that her skin was dark and hair wasn't soft.. blah blah blah. Adults can manage, understanding that we need to manage, but if you live in areas that are not predominately black, children can bear the brunt.

IjeBos:


Sorry. You should hone up on your US history. The US was developed on the back of African Americans. And because of systematic racism, blacks generational wealth was destroyed. Google the "Tulsa Race Massacre" or "Black Wall Street".

Skyview01:
.

I would not argue with you and may be you may probably right.

There are still hundreds of other white countries where blacks are living comfortably that were never developed the said blacks.

The 8th wonder of the world is why blacks are still unable to develop their own country in 2023 and Nigeria is a case in point.

The blacks that developed the USA did so under close scrutiny and supervision of the whites. Left to themselves, the USA will be like Nigeria.

TheCongo2:


No politician had told me anything about racism.
Canada has a specialized commission that deals with racism. It is called the Canadian Human Rights commission.
The data of this commission are available and you can make your own conclusion based on those data.
You have been in the US for 7 years and never experience racism ... hmmmmm ... What do you do for living if I may ask ?
We may just perceive racism under different scope of vision

Where did you get that from ? What is your source ?

A lot of self-hating black people here. Inferiority complex to the power max. Excusing the racism that is meted out to them.
And a lot of denial of racism. "If e no happen to me, e no dey happen anywhere" is absolutely idiotic of an opinion.

oakenfold:


The strength of the USA today did not come on the back of "rednecks". Have you been to the average redneck town today? Are you so ignorant of US history. Spewing bigoted racism apologia here, calling it frankness.

Rossikk:


You are BRAINLESS AND DUMB.
It’s not hard at all to go online and locate ACADEMIC STUDIES which EASILY PROVE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION in Canada and the US.
So it’s not something you ARGUE it doesn’t exist or is only 1%.
This is why Afro Americans can’t stand you people.
You are proper Coons, Coconuts and House negroes, as they term SELLOUTS.
During slavery there was the field negro and the house negro.
The field negros did the hard work of picking cotton in the fields, while the house negro lived in the ‘massa’s house’ and was more comfortable working as a servant in the house.
When the field negroes plotted to ambush the ‘massa’ or escape, the house negro, if alerted, would inform the white ‘massa’ of their plans, and wreck the program.
A full 95% of Nigerians like you are HOUSE NEGROES.
You are disgusting.

TheCongo2:




Be very careful, you are talking to a flight trainee learning on the job working as a flight instructor

These idiots come to the USA, stand on the achievements from centuries of the struggles, blood and lives of Afro-Americans, then side with white racists. Spewing white racist talking-points with no shame, even as they try to roll back progress.

Rossikk:


Garbage. YouTube is filled with ‘KAREN’ videos where some white ‘Karen’ is telling a black person that they couldn’t possibly afford to live in their neighbourhood, and even calling the police on them! And in this year alone there have been several mass shootings targeted at blacks just for being black! You NIGERIAN COONS with your see no evil, hear no evil approach to racism are a disgrace.
If the Afro Americans had your slavish approach, blacks would still be getting lynched on the streets and barred from restaurants and theatres.

ErenXSatoru:
Racism is over blown in the West, it's really not an issue

Rossikk:


You will be shocked to see an African working in these offices, and the white colleagues would be making racist comments and the African would be smiling and laughing with them, not even realising they are being racist and dehumanising him.

That’s why they prefer to hire Africans. They are simple and naive with a racial inferiority complex, and whites love that, unlike the Afro Americans who fought them for centuries and know exactly what they are about, and will take no rubbish from them, including their racism.

1stGenAmerican:


That’s why anti-racism laws exist and get enforced, right? Because it’s really not an issue, right? Stop watching movies non-stop and read a book.
