Look, i dey para mode now, so biko allow, just allow.
Some Nigerians living in the United States can be so simple minded i swear. You say you have "assets" in Nigeria, so why the hell are you dragging jobs with we wey no get"assets". Brag upandan, bunch of empty barrels, we beat each other down and are super beastly to each other but treat other races like human beings. This is why Nigeria as a nation cannot grow, because even in a foreign country we are demonic to each other. Look, nobody f*****g cares what type of car you drive or what kind of house you live in, as long as you pay your damn taxes and your freaking bills, Nobody send u! Even if you are a boss at your workplace , you go out to the coffee shop and meet a freaking queue, you line the hell up and Shut the f**k up because nobody wants to hear you talk about who you are, everybody just wants to get a damn coffee and keep it moving,
You carry yasef come yankee dey find who go dey ansa you Madam or Oga sir, Na beta bomb dey ya head for dere. U better go and buy yourself a slave because ain't nobody gat time for that. You earn respect you don't demand for it. You behave like Namma, you get treated like a Namma, you behave like a person, you get treated like a person, its just common sense, not rocket science. You go carry yourself go Naija, then start treating the people there hustling and hailing you like vermin, forgetting that its from this Vermin filled streets that ya fore fathers were raised, even though some of ya'll were born in the states. Sometimes just act human na, Sometimes act like you have the fear of God in you, Sometimes just don't be an eye service church goer, nobody is marking attendance, na God dey look your mind. You cannot be treating the person helping you at home like a piece of rag, then enter church to worship Jesus, Nne, you are worse that Satan because you have no fear, if i be Jesus, i go smite u! hian!
I read an article some weeks ago about a beastly Nigerian couple that got a human being with bones and blood to the states and were treating the human being like a Dog, all because the person no get kpali a.k.a Green card. Can you see how demon possessed we are. A lady i met sometime ago told me about how she has been a Nanny for 15 years and had worked for Nigerians earlier who used to bully her and maltreat her and call her names, until she met a white couple who took her in and made her part of their family and paid her real good, even after getting her green card, she chose to stay on because she had been shown so much Love and that helped her become so loyal to the family and to treat the kids like her own. And as she was talking to me, i became so pissed, like why must we always act like Bastards to each other? Why? Just Why? It bothers me for real, i get so mad thinking about it. Later, when the person becomes in a better position to help and refuses to help u, you go dey call God. Like my Aunt "I" always sings in an igbo choir voice to encourage me when stuff is getting out of control " No Condition is Permanent"x3. Loool
All these billionaires that give out part of their wealth to charity, do you think they don't know what they are doing? They do, they have probably discovered the secret to this life. Its all about what good you did while you were still alive, who did you help? What impact your existence had on Earth, deep questions like that, but noooo, a Nigerian will keep making all that money, then spend it like a barbarian, the make some more, spend some more, show off, be recognized, be well known, be popular. Do good and announce it so that everybody will hail them. We forget that Man must to die one day, and wen u do, they will fling u inside casket or wrap u inside cloth and mat and throw u in d ground, if ya lucky, u fit get small makeup for face, make you no reach heaven scare Jesus or even hell, i judge not, if you are too rich, you fit get some small jewellery for your body which grave robbers will eventually take anyways, but na the same ground you go dey, become news for sometime and be gone just like that. So wetin come be the point biko? Why can't we be more compassionate??? Be nicer to each other, help each other grow, Take in a fellow Nigerian who just came into the states, without that fellow Nigerian sef becoming a thorn in ya flesh. Tufiakwa! Help each other, promote each others businesses, stop hating, stop helping ya friend calculate how much he/she makes in a month, U dey crase ni? stop comparing rides and talking about how the people driving Range Rover in your sub division are in a "Range Rover owners" club, are u smoking crack?
Even in Nigerian churches in the United states, our inferiority complex is through the roof, you would enter some churches and feel like you just walked into a fashion show, forget that we dress nice, the hidden hatred for the next person beside you because her bag is designer or because you can see his key ring and it looks like its a Beemer or a Benz is baffling. I visited a Purely Nigerian Church in Atlanta, and i was amazed at something very weird that happened. The Pastor called out couples having their birthdays to step out with their spouse. One unassuming couple stepped out, the man wore an over-sized suit and was quite vertically challenged and the woman looked very quaint in a Nice flowery gown and it was her birthday anyway. The Pastor then asked the man to give his wife a birthday toast, he started out by saying how lucky he was to have her yada yada yada and all that mushy stuff that couples say to each other only when people are listening, then bruh, he went on to say how he can't believe he has a brand new Honda 2015 pilot, tear rubber fully paid for because of his wife, i was confused, like, okay dude, its time to pass on the microphone, it didn't end there o, he then went on to describe his other car and the nice area where they just bought a house, i was baffled, i wanted to throw my shoe at him for being so ridiculous, and then he finished his at this point very irritating speech and his wife said two sentences and they gave each other a very dead kiss, and the whole place erupted with a very huge applause, i became weak, like seriously, are u guys shitting me? then i made a mental not to myself never to step foot into that Fashion house...sorry Church again. Why are we so Extra??? Did the whole Fashion...sorry Church need to know all that Info??? Lawd!!!
The crazy part is when you're out maybe in the mall or something and you spot a fellow Nigerian and try to smile or start up a conversation with them, you can tell, they are also wary of you because we know ourselves and how beastly we are to each other. I once met a Nigerian lady who doesn't mix with Nigerians because she has been messed up so many times by Nigerians, so for her its just a safety precaution. When i met her, she didn't believe i was Nigerian too, when she finally believed me, she kept acting as if i wanted something from her, this attitude started to irritate me so i let that friendship die a natural death, but i really don't blame her, a couple of bad experiences has taught her to be wiser. I have calmed down now but i'm still perplexed at we Nigerians as a whole. I can go on and on about experiences i have had, i have heard about and i have witnessed relating with Nigerians over here in the States. Na God go save us o. Biko someone still needs to tell me Why we are the way we are? Just WHY?
