Wetin concern pajeet matter and "how do I make myself better"?

Again, aside hating others it does not surprise that you are unable to string a coherent entence on how you as a peron or we as a community can improve ourselves. Thats always my litmus test for people like you. You see why I said you think like an almajiri?

You are a Nigerian in the UK but too cowardly to post or 'spread your warnings' on the NIUK thread as you know you'd be put in place by fellow Nigerians who are not bottom feeders. Rather, it's on the Canadian thread you think you've found like minds you can think low with.


Nwanne, my advise to you is simple, if you do not get on your feet, work hard and improve yourself, you would continue to languish at the bottom of the food chain. Today, you'd blame Indians for not geting work as a security guard, tomorrow, you'd blame them for waiting for charity food at a soup kitchen.
BTW, the speed of your responses make me wonder how much time you spend online. Why not use some of that time to improve yourself?

Oluomo of Derby will never forget the ass handing I gave him
His coward arse drove me away from the NIUK group (blocked me) after giving to him hot, before I was reinstated not too long ago (to which I wasn't even interested anymore) after he was disgraced by Dipo et al (another set of fooolish ppl) from the NIUK platform; as apparently all the ppl he "exiled" were "unexiled"
Look at the disgraceful events of the last four weeks. To think you even hold such ppl there in high self esteem is even telling lol

NIUK is filled with a lot of low lives
A congregation of COS hustlers suffasticated care givers and failed ppl (many of them, some to which I know in person)
Was it not weeks ago that they were arguing that a driver license is more valuable than Masters degree?
I didn't even comment or anything
I just shook my head at their stoopidity and kept it moving

As per the bolded above
Are you gonna add unemployed, low life and jobless to the the long list of assumption about me due to my online presence?
Go check my posts and engagements on the Stock market group, that will give u a clue as to why I spend some time (not a lot of time actually) on the net
My Aradel bet made me a whole lot of money (it is well documented there, my Nestlé and MTN bets made a lot too, but Aradel was my top loot as well as other positions I took that I didn't publicly disclose there

What better way to improve yourself than to do that ?

This side obsession (cos it's beyond hustle now) of mine keeps me scouring the net, even when I am on site at my main job
Just had to put out this unsolicited information to clear your doubt about any image u may have of me (which btw I don't even care cos it makes no diff, just setting the record straight
Not everyone is on the net exclusively for whiling away time doing only unproductive stuff.

Really jedisco? Is this really who you are? I never knew that you are a bigot, so why do we come down gun blazing on the issue of racism in the UK if this is your views about the Igbos?

To say that i'm shocked reading this from you is an understatement, i'm so disappointed in you and you have to be shamed of the character you displayed here.

I have zero respect for anybody that expresses such view about another tribe

To be honest
Maybe he is not really like this

Hehe.. continue reading and see the trend of my post before you jump into conclusions. Sometimes, the best way to explain to explain racial discrimination is by giving someone a mirror

All those were words I have read and heard stated to me as an Igbo person. Being Igbo and having a good track record of fighting hate on NL, I was willing to expouse things that way. Oddly, I didn't even know of RodgersAkpafu's ethnicity when I posted that. All I knew is that he would claim to shy away from local tribalism now he's abroad while still using thesame tribalistic mindset to approach others. It would have been 'enlightening' to see him argue against tribalism while looking for excuses to promote hate against others. The only downside is that conversation forced me to mention my ethnicity which is something I shied away from doing in all these years

I am 100% against and triggered by hate and racial discrimination whether its Indians, Pakistanis, SA e.t.c.

In thesame way I did not tolerate Igbophobia on when I lived in Nigeria or on NL - I would not tolerate senseless hate against Indians because its a different group involved.

Nobody hates anybody here
So your bolded is VERY WRONG

The entire crux of this rabbit hole we descended to is that YOU couldn't accept that some us here were (rightfully) calling out bad faith actors of Indian descent, and telling others to deal carefully upon arrival.

That's how this discussion degenerated into where we are at this point
It now became "we "hate them" cos we are struggling with our personal lives (a figment of your hallucinating imagination) ; we are envious of their "success" (even more laughable) and Nigerians are owing Indians $20billion (which is outright ridiculous and blatantly false)

Saying Nigerians should be careful when in south africa because of xenophobic tendencies of some south Africans (which is well documented) is NOT equal to hating South Africans

It's common sense.

But again, because u didn't like HOW your "pajeet friends" (lol, I use this as tongue in cheek expression ) were being "called out" here you go on to manufacture insinuation that we are "mindlessly hating" them

When they were in their numbers promoting racism against blacks and Latinos in America during the MAGAt train, I didn't see you speak against it.
A few people even pointed it out to you but you conveniently skirted past it, paying no attention

When they are all over the place painting themselves as the "model immigrant" ; boasting emptily all over the net , and calling other groups of immigrants "inferior" and not worthy, you didn't caution your paddy paddy dem
I made mention of the Dubai incident, you turned a blind eye to it as well, even though it was remotely relevant in a way to the discourse
(Caveat, these foooools do not represent the whole of India though, just to make that clear.

Now the tide has turned against their collective image and you (as well as them) are all crying
All these is gonna be a learning experience for the deluded ones in their midst

I agree with you though
Hatred does nobody any good
BUT
No one has exhibited hate against anyone on this thread so far.

The funny thing is that .....lol
Awon India will not expend this much energy defending a black person from anything

It is always black folks that are Captain Defend Somebody, lol
No worry, this is the era where everybody eye go clear

I don't think he is a bigot. He is just one of those guys that overdo just to prove a point.
The area he took the conversation was unnecessary and unhelpful.
Besides, while I understand the point he is trying to make which is reasonable, he is making it in a wrong way cos the Indians are not our allies, don't give a damn about blacks and are not united themselves so i don't see any reason to bring your own people tribal fault lines just to defend them.

One of the problems they are having in canada is this anger that they have brought their hindu vs Punjab fight to Canada and now killing themselves on Canadian soil compared to Nigerain tribes that have coexisted peacefully in a foreign land.

That did not come across in your post hence my reaction. My impression was that those were your views and not what others have said to you,,especially the last bit of your post i highlighted in my initial post.

That said... i withdrew my last comment. Apologies for the misunderstanding

Nice... though it is right leaning and would have wanted contrasting opinions included (in a non-adversorial) manner, I love the clear message. They are obviously introspective and focused on making their community better. I love how the focus of the conversation tilted towards that from about 22 mins. No blame games- just improve.

Interesting fact is how an increasing proprietary of frican Americans have voted Trump ober the years. From 8 to 12 to 20%. Interesting

Yes, they are definitely right-leaning - not a fan and will probably never be one.

Their solution for improving the fortunes of the African-American (AA) community sound simple - stay married and get a job. But a closer look reveals they may actually have a point as shown by the screen shot below. The married AA family is closest in terms of earning to the 'folks at the top of the pyramid'.

These are labor earning stats so there is sufficient reason to believe they are valid. The limitations of this data include how old it is (2016) and generalizability/extent to which it can be applied to other A communities.

Interesting.

What the difference. But u Yorubas go about discriminating against other tribes but u are angry the Indians do it against u?

What I dont understand is why we are even seeking 'allies' among them hence getting disappointed when we dont think they are returning our favours. Many Nigerians would even (unwisely) say they avoid fellow Nigerians in the diaspora - then why cozy up to Indians? I try to approach every human with similar suspicion.

I've let the matter be as the point has been made and it was deteriorating into the proverbial fight with a ....

I dont even know what group you are referring to. Perhaps your unsavoury words are cos you didn't find room to fertilse hate there
I am talking about the Nigerians in UK thread on Nairaland. Do come and 'warn' us about them - afterall there are over 1.8 million folks of Indian heritage in the UK.

It doesn't surprise. One of their points was that once one accounts for married families and college education, earning between whites and AAs equalise.

A more traditional approach to raising a family should suit them better. It's also a strong factor in many relatively successful ethnic communities

Dear friends, Please, I need help with getting accommodation in British Columbia, preferably Richmond, Surrey, Kitsilano, Yaletown, etc.

I can take care of myself, but I just want to get a place before landing next month.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

It's a good day to be alive!

Afolavid:
Hello guys, I am in a serious issue and I'm looking for advice... I can't even believe this is happening!

I recently borrowed someone some money and also kept some money with them, it's into the million (#) and because we have an issue now, she blocked me everywhere and has refused to pay the money back, she's admitting she knows she owes the money but not talking about a payback, I know she has the money with her but doesn't wanna pay cuz she knows I'm not in the country and trying to use that to get back at me.

I hate deceit, especially coming from someone you supposedly trust, I want to collect this money back by all means but unfortunately, I'm not in Naija and I can't go at the moment, probably won't be going until later in the year. It would be easier for me if I were in Naija cuz I could easily track her down and collect it. Right now, she thinks there's no way to find her, that's why she's doing this. Also, this person used me as a guarantor for their job, she handles a lot of money for the company and this gave me a reality check that, if this person could show this attitude with my own money then I'm not safe as a guarantor either, but there is a clause, she forged my signature and I never filled/signed the guarantor form, she did it all by herself, the only thing I did was provide my company documents and personal documents, which she would have probably had access to somehow anyways.

She thinks the worst I could do is call her out on social media, but I don't even want to do that. What options do I have to recover this money back? If possible without going to Naija. Also, I have proof of lending her the money and keeping the rest with her. Thanks

First things first, what’s your relationship with the lady? Are you platonic friends, friends with benefits, ex-lovers??

We were dating (in a serious relationship, planning marriage this year) until we had a resolvable issue earlier this month but she doesn't want a resolution. She'd rather block me everywhere instead and move on. For context, I'm not asking for any single thing that I gave her back but she kept some money for me and we had a dialogue about it, that's what I'm trying to get back.

Thank you. I'm not sure that would help get the money back. I need to get it back first before taking further action.

You have two options in my opinion:
1. Mediation - talk to people that she respects and knows the both of you well to intervene in the matter.

2. Use of force - contact law enforcement officers, incentize them and they will get the money off her.

Be prepared for the worse, a scorned woman can go to any length to prove a point. she can deny ever keeping any money for you, I am sure u do not have any written contractual agreement to this effect.

OP, do not take the bolded words above from seunpicky lightly. Sit down, look at the pros and cons and count the costs to know if you're ready to deal with any eventual fall-out from this if she decides to take the 'scorched-earth' approach and determine if it's worth it because an angry or vengeful woman can indeed go to surprising lengths to get at a person they were once romantically involved with. Oftentimes, the lady you knew and fell in love with may not be the same one you're dealing with after a break-up. Although, it's easier said than done, let logic guide your decision-making in this case and not just emotions.
