@@idid1222 the bad Nigerians guys are spreading dislikes of Nigerians, if the good Nigerians don't stand up and teach the world the beauty side of Nigeria, they'll be no change..
Nigerians in general are good people. Most people in villages grow their own foods and do their own fishing. They don't spend money, but they are doing well, but they are classified as poor because they don't earn cash. Their economic activities are not factored into the national GDP.
Bro it's sad, but Nigerians aren't the only one doing shady stuff. Europeans do it'll, Americans do it, even Asians do it. But the focus is always on nigeria.
Nigeria is black race super power,the world don't like black ... From the time when Nigeria gov brought up indigenization policy the world media started their hates against anything Nigeria
I have visited a few countries in Africa, and it is beautiful. However, I have to caution that it isn't "paradise." Africa is a place like anywhere else, and the euphoria you first experience upon arrival will eventually wear off.
My ancestors, not too long ago, were stolen away and taken unwillingly to America as enslaved people. I am only here because they carried me in them. As with any mother or father, I know the most important thing to them was their children, and something deep down inside tells me they would weep with joy if they could hear that their descendants were returning to the motherland.
The Nigeria you know today never existed until 1914 by the act of a single White man who founded the country. You cannot say your ancestors came from Nigeria really.
@@Lieu_Tenant_Gambit I guess I am struggling to understand the belated movement of people at this time in history. How often must we start all over is the question really.

From day one the geographical location called Nigeria today has always had more than 50% of people living in west Africa, during slave era ,the coast of Nigeria down to Benin republic was called slave Coast . If you beleive your ancestors were taken from west africa into slavery in America , and other places ,there are possiblity that you are originally from one of Nigerian ethnic group... Nigeria is a melting point for anything west Africa, many of the people you seeing in present day Benin republic,Togo, Ghana,Niger republic, Liberia , Sierra Leone have trace to bigger ethnic groups in Nigeria

Nigeria is different from any other African country you know, you must behave or the next guy will behave you.

I’m black American/cherokee. My grandmother was Indian. It doesn’t matter what anyone says because I know who married who and had offspring in my family. I am not Nigerian. No shade on Nigerian. I’m just telling facts. I love my country. Will never leave.
Me being African American I want to address the Black American vs African American. For most part, the ones that prefer Black American oppose to African American usually say they don't know what part of Africa they are from and its a Continent making the term "African" too broad. They KNOW they are Black, know they've been here for hundreds of years, hence why they preference that term. For people who may think they are selling out Africa, that's not the case 😂 As for the African American term, MOST here use that. On flipside, alot of the ones who use the term African American are comfortable with it being a knowingly broad term. Although it's broad, it's also a acknowledgement of a homeland where are origins are from to us. Myself, I prefer African American instead of Black American because to me the Black part is ALMOST not really a identity 😂 Think of it like this, do Kenyans call themselves Black Kenyans or Black Nigerians? Even in America, the White people are either JUST American or JUST Italian, Irish etc or the said Country and thats it. They never say White American, or White Italian etc 😂 The Good Brother Pastor mentioned "they" are Black be proud of it, (meaning us) we are Black and proud, however it's when it's termed in the way I said in above example, it sounds weird in that particular content. If someone called me Black American, I do feel funny inside hearing it, but I won't be mad or try to correct anyone 😂 We hear it often here. African American is more dominantly used here in the U.S. My dna was tested, many parts of Africa is in it. My highest % was Nigeria specifically IGBO. All my 1st cousins that tested got IGBO as well. Dna is complexed because i noticed 2nd and 3rd cousins say simpley Nigeria with no IGBO under it 🤷🏿♂️ Lastly the scammer thing 😂 Nigeria has the MOST traveled and LARGEST POPULATION in Africa, naturally when it comes to any type negative activity, (like all countrys have) they probably would be noted 1st BECAUSE THEY ARE MOST SEEN AROUND THE WORLD 😂 Like 60% of African Americans have most % Nigeria, does that make us 60% scammers too? If most of us come from them, why aren't we known for that? 😂 People please throw that ridiculous ignorant stigma in the trash. People just mad they got, got by a opportunistic individual(s) the Country of Nigeria don't have anything to do with it that 😂 All of Africa is in my veins in my opinion 😂 !EXCEPT THOSE NORTH AFRICA ARAB RAN COUNTRYS! 👎🏾 Special Shout Out to all my Good Brother's in this vid!

Most blacks in America are not of African descent. We have been here and were always in America. This is why we don't want to be called African American, because many of us know we our not African. Our elders always knew we were American Indian and the government started calling us African Americans in 1970s. Do you know that the government has literally changed our identity 4 times. We went from Indians, Negro, Coloreds, Afro-Americans, black Americans, and now African Americans. They don't want us to know we are Indian or Indigenous. America is our motherland and if you read books about American explorers in the 1600s they tell you blacks were here in the millions. You ask a Nigerian about the slave trade and they won't even know what you're talking about. They never put their own into slavery. The reason why they have been calling us African is so theu can get away with not paying us reparations. They also want to continue to tax us. Only 92,000 slaves came from Africa. The other millions of slaves were already prisoners of war in their own homeland.
@@jordanfauntleroy2013 Here we go with all the we are the original Natives and Aboriginal stuff 🤦🏿♂️ Since "yall" are apparently different from "us," (my dna results define me) why don't yall just tell the government just give yall the Reparations because yall are not us?

Don't blame us, since yall know what yall are talking about tell the government we different and just fight yall fight with them and leave us out 😂 And trust me, the during yalls fight or plight, the government WON'T stick up for us "confused native indians," so just proceed on with whatever yall are trying to do.

Tell me what military do we have, on top of our only making up give or take about 13% percent of the ameriKKKan population?

@@andersonojoshimite6047 Why don't you do research on it and see if lieing. Millions of African slaves stacked ontop of each other, on wooden ships sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with barley any food, and no fresh water sounds like horseshit to me. They were peeing and crapping on eachother, but no one died? The bodyweight of them being stacked ontop of eachother didn't kill them? Waves can get up to hundreds of feet on the Atlantic and would rip a boat to shreds, then there are also bad hurricanes in the Atlantic, so you tell me how these white folks brought millions of slaves over here by ship??? A cruisheship don even cross the Atlantic and a damn Naval carrier struggles to get across even with all the technology that a navy ship has. I maybe black, but I ain't dumb. That whole transatlantic story sounds like horseshit. Too many books from the 1600s through 1800s that say we were already here in the millions. archive.org/details/America00Ogil/page/n7
I have to push back, historically, that is inaccurate, since that slaves in the western hemisphere including the United States came from multiple different regions mainly West African, Central Africans very sufficant, South Coast of Mozambique along with Madagascar. Our ancestors came from multiple different regions. Here is examples Here is example Chris Tucker has Angola ancestry ruclips.net/video/AtJfFZhMWn4/видео.html Wayan family one of his ancestor came from Madagascar ruclips.net/video/dYbH0OIGE4g/видео.html It is not cut and dry as people think
There are other types of blacks. I respect the African Americans for identifying with Africa right from the beginning through their name. This has been something their ancestors have declared. it shows they have always had the vision to come back and that vision is now becoming a reality after all these hundreds of years. ❤️ from 🇳🇬.
To be honest as a diasporan I find it hard to consider moving to or visiting Kenya while there is still american and british military bases there. When something happens many times it's them causing the problem.. removing them is a top priority in my eyes. And if we want their training then they should host us abroad
I think one of the reasons many blacks in the diaspora who were forcefully taken from the land do not want to return to Nigeria but anywhere else is because of the negative image that has been painted and deemed true of people from Nigeria. Another aspect is all the videos coming out from there that depict witchcraft, voodoo, and going to people with animals to get rich quick and not believing in God. The image of Nigeria must change; hurting your brothers with witchcraft and voodoo and all these ills we have seen in videos and Nigerian movies - somewhat reflect the reality of Nigeria. Someone needs to start showing the positives of Nigeria because what we have seen in the West is not good. The people of Nigeria also need to start being their brother's keeper and stop going and believing in the bushman, medicine man, or "herbalist -not what this means in the West" to get rich quick and harm others. IT IS TIME TO CLEAN UP THE IMAGE OF NIGERIA -- start with the people. Ghana has never had this image, and it seems like the people there are welcoming and not as scammy as Nigerians - again, this is based on the images and videos of both countries.
Do you know of a country in the world where there is no such things. Go the the Southern States of USA to learn the truth. Seek knowledge before showcasing ignorance!!!
Nigerias is not looking up to kenya, sorry nigeria is setting example for africa, first in dealing with the west. East Africa including ghana is very subservient , and secondly Nigeria is the tech hub of africa, yes kenya might have cleaner streets , blah blah , more white people hahaha, but you know who is boss. Peace out
Just hate from the creator Slave trade involved heavily with West Africa so why are you trying to enter the chat with Kenya .Ghana and the other countries in West Africa have tried the best to invite their people through tourism and it’s helping their economy why hate while Kenya has been doing this tourism shid way back with Mount Kilimanjaro in fact Kenya is blessed with their wildlife and it’s generating revenue so why hate .trans Atlantic slave trade didn’t involve East Africa so stop with this Nigeria Ghana shid and focus on East Africa

And 2 million Black from Africa in America . Africa continent 1.46 Billion population with 1.3 billion black population .
How can I explain this, the term black is a social construct legal term in America which has no standing in law, maybe in Africa that's not the case and also to be called black is a negative term here we are a people of nations not so call skin tones
Sorry, Nigerians are mostly uninterested in these types of conversations, they have a lot to grapple with. By the way, what rights have you to tell black Americans where they should move to? I'm most disappointed in the Nigerian brother who thinks he's got so much to tell black Americans.
But Nigeria could not control Boko haram. If western education is haram or harmful why should Nigeria use western aircrafts, electricity etc etc? So Africa cannot say America a Babylon.. after all America elected a Kenyan Obama as president of America
We are black American from America we are not Africans these DNA come from the colonizers that has put all these DNA in one pool of people to Nigerian sorry people we are not African this has been a story they have told people and made up by whyte people that we came from Africa sorry to upset you Africans but we are from American we got colonized on our on land of America I have done my genealogy it doesn’t trace back to Africa at all I suggest all other black Americans the same thing and find there linage and stop getting these DNA from the same people that has colonized you. The whyte people that are here are not from American they came here America and colonized this American country in fact they are from England, Europe, Germany and British.
Kenya is okay but cannot be compared with Nigeria in many ways: Nigeria has the biggest human resources and the biggest economy in the African continent. There is no other place like Nigeria in the African continent that has these resources that I stated.

Tell me what military do we have, on top of our only making up give or take about 13% percent of the ameriKKKan population? We can't MAKE them do anything, you still trust in that? 😂 Slavery or whatever new term you want to use been over with for like 400+ years, and we still waiting... If the government announced today they are going to pay out Reparations to americans of African decent ONLY, i bet you guys will drop that made up flag quick and become Shakka Zula overnight asap! 🤣 YOU GUYS who just started dam near yesterday need to stop our already complexed situation, not vise versa... Stop this PretINDIANS stuff, stop trying to ban wagon something your clearly not. Notice yall NEVER present Science, Dna, to fact check what yall say, only what Grandma and nem "said." 😂That will do very well as evidence in court lol. You guys make US look bad doing that nonsense. With all due respect...
@@andersonojoshimite6047 Why don't you do research on it and see if lieing. Millions of African slaves stacked ontop of each other, on wooden ships sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with barley any food, and no fresh water sounds like horseshit to me. They were peeing and crapping on eachother, but no one died? The bodyweight of them being stacked ontop of eachother didn't kill them? Waves can get up to hundreds of feet on the Atlantic and would rip a boat to shreds, then there are also bad hurricanes in the Atlantic, so you tell me how these white folks brought millions of slaves over here by ship??? A cruisheship don even cross the Atlantic and a damn Naval carrier struggles to get across even with all the technology that a navy ship has. I maybe black, but I ain't dumb. That whole transatlantic story sounds like horseshit. Too many books from the 1600s through 1800s that say we were already here in the millions.

I have to push back, historically, that is inaccurate, since that slaves in the western hemisphere including the United States came from multiple different regions mainly West African, Central Africans very sufficant, South Coast of Mozambique along with Madagascar. Our ancestors came from multiple different regions. Here is examples
Here is example Chris Tucker has Angola ancestry

Wayan family one of his ancestor came from Madagascar

It is not cut and dry as people think
There are other types of blacks. I respect the African Americans for identifying with Africa right from the beginning through their name. This has been something their ancestors have declared. it shows they have always had the vision to come back and that vision is now becoming a reality after all these hundreds of years. ❤️ from 🇳🇬.
Actually the appellation" African" American is a modern day invention. Having 6% African DNA and perhaps 94% other DNA cannot make you African.
To be honest as a diasporan I find it hard to consider moving to or visiting Kenya while there is still american and british military bases there. When something happens many times it's them causing the problem.. removing them is a top priority in my eyes. And if we want their training then they should host us abroad
Also in Ghana too
@@ValentineUgochukwu and they are not there to "help fight terror" either
I think one of the reasons many blacks in the diaspora who were forcefully taken from the land do not want to return to Nigeria but anywhere else is because of the negative image that has been painted and deemed true of people from Nigeria. Another aspect is all the videos coming out from there that depict witchcraft, voodoo, and going to people with animals to get rich quick and not believing in God. The image of Nigeria must change; hurting your brothers with witchcraft and voodoo and all these ills we have seen in videos and Nigerian movies - somewhat reflect the reality of Nigeria. Someone needs to start showing the positives of Nigeria because what we have seen in the West is not good. The people of Nigeria also need to start being their brother's keeper and stop going and believing in the bushman, medicine man, or "herbalist -not what this means in the West" to get rich quick and harm others. IT IS TIME TO CLEAN UP THE IMAGE OF NIGERIA -- start with the people. Ghana has never had this image, and it seems like the people there are welcoming and not as scammy as Nigerians - again, this is based on the images and videos of both countries.
You don't sound informed. Where are you from?
Do you know of a country in the world where there is no such things. Go the the Southern States of USA to learn the truth. Seek knowledge before showcasing ignorance!!!
Black Americans aren't just from one part of Africa. We have Ghanian, Sierra Leon, Congolese and Angolan dna even Malagasy DNA.
90% of yall, come from Nigeria.😁😁
@@dadoboye1536 3/4 come from Nigeria, learn history.
Nigerias is not looking up to kenya, sorry nigeria is setting example for africa, first in dealing with the west. East Africa including ghana is very subservient , and secondly Nigeria is the tech hub of africa, yes kenya might have cleaner streets , blah blah , more white people hahaha, but you know who is boss. Peace out
STOP ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT COMING TO INVEST WHAT ARE YALL GIVING FOR US TO COME IT SOUNDS LIKE ASKING FOR MONEY WITHOUT GIVING A INCENTIVE
Just hate from the creator
Slave trade involved heavily with West Africa so why are you trying to enter the chat with Kenya .Ghana and the other countries in West Africa have tried the best to invite their people through tourism and it’s helping their economy why hate while Kenya has been doing this tourism shid way back with Mount Kilimanjaro in fact Kenya is blessed with their wildlife and it’s generating revenue so why hate .trans Atlantic slave trade didn’t involve East Africa so stop with this Nigeria Ghana shid and focus on East Africa
The guys who do scamming are actually very few. I don't think they are up to 50000, but these guys are everywhere spoiling things for the rest of us.
African American, and Black American terms are both used ... many "light-skinned" don't like to be called Black American ...
1920 US-CENSUS African, European, Asian and Native American . black/African American(used interchangeably with race or ethnicity because of history) .
Michelle Obama is black/African race , black american ethnicity , American nationality . Lupita Nyongo is black/African race and Kenyan/Mexican Nationality .
George Bush is white/European race , Irish ethnicity and US American nationality . Elon Musk white/European race , Dutch ethnicity , South-African/ US nationality
African is a race of black people not a nationality . black/African/Negroid . white/European/Caucasoid . yellow/Asian/mongoloid or a mixture like Obama(Black and White) .
At least 120 million Africans in brazil(afro-Brazilians), Africans in Mexico(afro-Mexicans), Africans in America(afro-Americans) , Africans in Jamaica(afro-Jamaicans) .
Roughly 46 million Black in America . And 4.1 million Black from outside America living in US . And 2.1 million Black in America from Caribbean, Central, South America, EU, Canada etc . And 2 million Black from Africa in America . Africa continent 1.46 Billion population with 1.3 billion black population .
@@PapBob-jg7rd i'm talking about what we American blacks do/think on the streets, not how whites interpret and report our conversation ...
1920 us census negro not African American negroes aka black Americans 1990s then came African American
How can I explain this, the term black is a social construct legal term in America which has no standing in law, maybe in Africa that's not the case and also to be called black is a negative term here we are a people of nations not so call skin tones
Most Afrikans peoples identify by ethnic nation, as opposed to crayon colors.
Stop lying we black and proud being black has enough to do we skin color
no one is moving to nigeria bro, stop this rubbish.
You do not have data to access the internet and know what is happening
World scamming index😂😂😂😂
Hehe, how is it called?
@@evans_KE It's just funny, you good bruh.
Slavery had no history in East Africa but West Africa precisely Nigeria
Please go and conduct DNA test to prove me Wright
Or white Europeans for that matter.
No one is moving to Nigeria as long as you can put the like of incompetent Tinubu to govern.
We don't want you looser. I'm not APC, but Nigeria not blind from not choosing you. Looser.
Dumb!!!
Sorry, Nigerians are mostly uninterested in these types of conversations, they have a lot to grapple with. By the way, what rights have you to tell black Americans where they should move to? I'm most disappointed in the Nigerian brother who thinks he's got so much to tell black Americans.
Black Americans are not Nigerians
Thanks to almighty GOD!!!
But Nigeria could not control Boko haram. If western education is haram or harmful why should Nigeria use western aircrafts, electricity etc etc? So Africa cannot say America a Babylon.. after all America elected a Kenyan Obama as president of America
We are black American from America we are not Africans these DNA come from the colonizers that has put all these DNA in one pool of people to Nigerian sorry people we are not African this has been a story they have told people and made up by whyte people that we came from Africa sorry to upset you Africans but we are from American we got colonized on our on land of America I have done my genealogy it doesn’t trace back to Africa at all I suggest all other black Americans the same thing and find there linage and stop getting these DNA from the same people that has colonized you. The whyte people that are here are not from American they came here America and colonized this American country in fact they are from England, Europe, Germany and British.
Kenya is okay but cannot be compared with Nigeria in many ways: Nigeria has the biggest human resources and the biggest economy in the African continent. There is no other place like Nigeria in the African continent that has these resources that I stated.
