CamusMidas: Your argument collapses if you can answer this question objectively. Will the British have as much problems with Megan if she was a swede? Tribalism is not the same as racism, tribalism is based on the fight for the equitable distribution of resources, whilst racism is based on the fight for humanity. Eg who is human or better yet who is the most evolved human? 12 Likes |

Randy91: Randy91 nice one stubbornman aka neurosci do you see this. This is someone living abroad. I told you it's your fault that you ain't approaching white babes. Feeling inferior or feeling dreaded of ladies who are humans like you with the " how will she react" is a mere lack of confidence. If you are not good at talking to women due to low self esteem, dine with friends that are good at it so you learn from them. Black men seem sexy to whites girl. They believe they have big below if you know what I meant. You don't even need to have sexy body to woo a woman. Just get sweet mouth and you can make any woman giggling and laughing her ass out. And once you are able to pull out that smile, and keep things spontaneous, she won't mind being your gf right there and right at that spot. |

Mcslize: anyone that has lived abroad even for a year would know that you dont live abroad, I would advice you stop talking too much about things you know nothing about and wait to experience it yourself. Approaching a white girl when she is listening to music isnt wise as most people with their earphones abroad dont even want to be approached, you would look like a weirdo and freak of nature. Just keep quiet. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

neurosci:Point eloquently stated and understood. At the bolded, is it the skin colour that brings about the lack of interest for them to commit to the friendship with you? Will I need your answer to that, but I would go ahead and put in thought down. As stated earlier I believe it has to do more with private space, some of us here in Nigeria are like that. Is not everybody that I would and chitchat and share contact that I intend to be friends with or continue checking on them. Some people need their space and less drama to focus on their shit, that doesn't mean I won't be supper friendly to a stranger outside, not my fault when the person see it as an invitation to invade my privacy. |

neurosci: Honestly, since I've been abroad that fake smile is one thing that I hate. Whenever I see any of them throwing a fake smile at me, I quickly changed my face to let them know that it's not welcome. If you've lived abroad long enough, you would recognize and know the things behind those smiles sometimes. In those days, I have seen foolish men sent to jail over their fake smiles. Ignore the other guy, he doesn't know what he was saying. 25 Likes 1 Share |

neurosci: I was disconcerted by the smiling culture here. I was shopping last week and my cart mistakenly fell on a white girl. I rushed to the front in a flurry of apologies and felt so bad at my clumsiness. This lady was downright smiling at me. I was just apologizing and she kept on saying, it's okay it's not your fault. But I looked into her eyes and saw that she was pissed too (as should be) but the smile was still on her face. Obviously she was torn between choosing to be angry or maintaining her cultural upbringing. Her eyes gave her anger away but she was still smiling. 33 Likes 1 Share |

CamusMidas: Europeans had 100 years of war, first and second world wars all based on the fight for dominance in the acquisition of power to control more resources.

Cocao: No it's just that you are just too biased seeing the truth in my comments. Carrying your Nigeria mentality abroad where you always expect men to approach you won't help you. Get out of your comfort zone and approach a man to prevent you from being in loneliness. How hard is that? 5 Likes |

Honestly, I plan on spending atleast one month in Nigeria this year ending. I’ve been here since 2019 and I find Canada very boring. If no be say person no get wetin to get back to for Nigeria, I for don go back. But like this, I would make she I visit Nigeria regularly to curb this loneliness. I never marry, so travelling no be big project. When you add the cold here 7 Likes 1 Share |

havilla:He was just giving an example it is all about the moment, and the manner the person listening to the music is going about it that would give you an idea on whether to approach or not. This are basic concept and has less to do with race, don't pick comment out of context to score a cheap point. |

neurosci:I really relate with this. Makes me remember one of my experiences in Dubai while trying to use my phone to take a picture when I saw 2 oyinbo ladies at my back, just wanted to use the advantage as a good background. You needed to see the way they both looked at me as if I am a kind of nuisance. No body teach me again to always mind my business 13 Likes 2 Shares |

doxijaw: Good explanation. And to add to it, racism comes from the place of white supremacy; tribalism does not. For example, if you're Igbo and you lost a job in the Yorubaland, that does not mean that the Yorubas think they are smarter than you or they have better IQ or are more evolved. Your job loss simply comes from a place of hate on their part. An igbo employer will fire a Yoruba man in the east too, soon, and the cycle continues. You don't suffer any impostor syndrome from being of a different tribe. In racism, a black man loses his job because they believe he is inferior or sub-human, especially when he works in a white dominated field. He has to work twice harder and be way better than them to prove himself. He should dare not make a mistake, otherwise he invalidates his skills. The people think he is less smart because he is black. It only takes a while before he starts to feel this: impostor syndrome. People still believe that black people scientifically have a lower IQ. Nobody thinks so of any tribe in Nigeria. If anything, each tribe thinks so of the other which is fair game. Take for example, in Nigeria, do you ever walk into a hospital to see a patient and on sighting you, he says, I don't want to see an Igbo doctor? How does he even know you're Igbo just by sighting you? Now, imagine being a black doctor and upon sighting you, the patient says they don't want to see you. The worse is covert racism, where the patient welcomes you with a smile and you have a wonderful, satisfactory conversation only for them to never return and go to a white doctor the next time. Some might even include in their report that you weren't good enough, even when you thought you had a great time with them. Here is an experience of a black doctor who has seen it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi_EGJyAmGk&t=52s And then when it comes to racism, there is something universally known as "white privilege". Imagine if a white girl lands in Nigeria today - maybe in a crowded market in Oshodi - does she get treated the same way a black girl who lands in Norway would be treated. Once instantly becomes an idol, while the other? Is there also something called "Hausa privilege" or "Igbo privilege"? 24 Likes 4 Shares |
