There was this show i kinda of attended (you know when you are outside the entrance of an event you know what is happening but you can't get in cos the bill tooo much to pay....and you know now life has changed.....Crying i wish i was still a little child, as a child i never had any worries in life, but now omo I must plan well well before i become broke my people......
So back to the gist..............because of this show i was opportune to see a lot of people, especially our expatriate friends, from different race......the white, the green, the yellow, the orange and of course the nigerians. Hmmmm Nija is changing oh....we now have beaucoup de flow of different human race.
Sitting in a corner i observed-----you know i like to observe, so i can download it to you......I saw different characters . What caught my attention were the Nigerians again, that came in with the orange race. They acted as though they were small g-o-ds. I noticed that they all had either fake british accents or american accents if you know what a i mean......Hmmmmm who do we always try to impress-----hey heeelloooooo, why?
Let me digress a little, one of those times i was feeling rich, we decided to hire a chauffeur, as usual we had an interview for them. One of the chauffeurs when asked how long he had been driving , his reply " i bin drive plenty white men before now", His chest swelling up with pride, as though he would be hired on the spot cos of the information he generously dished out........
I don't know, maybe it's the effect of slavery or colonization but an average black man subconsciously feels the white man is more superior than he is..........i don't know if this is true but i write from experience...........
Before we become great, fulfill our dreams, everything begins from the mind. If our mind isn't set right we will never trust our own strength, our inner man. If you ask me instead of the fake accents, the fake lives, the lies about all our accomplishment and who are parents are, just be yourself and work on being a better person. Then you can stand tall and be proud of who you are and where you come from.
Oh well it's time to take my leave before my soup gets burnt. Have a lovely weekend and do something good this weekend. Help a child, a woman, a man or a community. Ciao
