We should respect ourselves more and value ourselves more than anybody

inferiority complex is killing Africa. I feel so sad whenever I saw our people addressing one useless oyibo they on the street as " master" in your own country. Not even your boss at work.

HMMMM, THIS JUST BROUGHT UP SOME MEMORY OF A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER I HAD IN RELATION TO THIS SAME THING... THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, I NEEDED SOME COMPUTER HARDWARE & SOFTWARE, & THE PLACE WHERE I USUALLY GOT STUFFS LIKE THAT WAS QUITE A DISTANCE. SO I WOKE UP AS EARLY AS 6.30AM, GOT INTO A TAXI & FINALLY ARRIVED AT THE PLACE AT 8AM, THE SHOP WAS TO OPEN AT EXACTLY 8.30AM SO THERE WE WERE ALL SEATED OUTSIDE WAITING FOR THE SHOP TO OPEN OFFICIALLY, IT WAS ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO OPENING WHEN THIS WHITE MAN CASUALLY WALKED TO THE FRONT DOOR AND INSTANTLY, THE SECURITY GUY OPENED THE DOOR FOR HIM TO GO IN... AS SOON AS I SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE EHNNNN.. GOD FORBID BAD THING, THE DRIVER WHO IS A GHANAIAN ASKED ME ''SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT'' & I TOLD HIM TO WATCH ME... I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DOOR KNOCKED VERY HARD WHILE LOOKING INSIDE, THE SECURITY SIGNALED TO ME THAT IT WASN'T TIME YET, I DIDN'T AGREE OOO, I KEPT HITTING THE DOOR HARD UNTIL ONE LADY CAME OUT TO ME SAYING IT WASN'T OPENING TIME YET, SO I SIMPLY TOLD HER... OYA TELL THAT WHITE MAN TO COME OUT AND WAIT LIKE ALL OF US HERE HAVE BEEN DOING, SHE SAID SHE WAS COMING AND NEEDED TO SPEAK WITH HER BOSS, AS SOON AS SHE PROCEEDED TO GO IN, I FOLLOWED HER INSTANTLY AND THE OTHER GHANAIAN'S THERE WHO HAVE JUST BEEN WATCHING ME TACKLING THIS FOLLOWED ME INSTANTLY & ONLY THEN DID THEY START TO SPEAK UP TOO AS I KEPT TELLING THE WORKERS IN THERE THAT WHAT THEY DID MADE NO SENSE & I KEPT ASKING THEM ''WHAT MAKES THE REST OF US DIFFERENT FROM THAT MAN, BECAUSE HE'S WHITE'' THE MANAGER THEN CAME OUT TO APOLOGIZE & ASKED IF I AM NIGERIAN, I BOLDLY TOLD HIM YES I AM NIGERIAN & WON'T TOLERATE THAT SHIT... THEN WHAT REALLY MADE ME MAD WAS THE FACT THAT, THIS WHITE MAN HAD ONLY COME INTO THEIR SHOP TO WINDOW SHOP WHILE THE REST OF US HAD COME TO BUY STUFFS... SO I LOOKED AT THE LADY WHO WAS ATTENDING TO ME & ASKED HER... ''SO WHAT DID THAT WHITE MAN YOU PEOPLE SEE AS god BUY''? NOTHING, BUT HERE WE ARE BUYING BUT YOU THOUGHT TO LET HIM IN AHEAD OF US... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IN THERE FELT SO EMBARRASSED AS I CONTINUALLY EXPOSED THEIR STUPIDITY.. ON GETTING OUT, THE TAXI DRIVER WAS JUST APPLAUDING ME WHILE THE DRIVERS OF THE OTHER CARS WHO HAD BROUGHT THEIR PEOPLE WERE COMMENDING MY COURAGE... I JUST TOLD THE DRIVER I WASN'T STANDING UP FOR ANYONE BUT MYSELF.. WE CAN'T ALL BE STUPID...!
