I didn't mind Chinese exploiting and making lots of money out of Africa but the other way around is disturbing me, I mean, Africans taking an advantage of China by setting up serious businesses in my beloved country and make money is pissing me off.

Les, Can You Explain Why You've Deleted The Video?

I can understand the "wtf" thing, but why the video?

Hmmm, thanks for letting me know that, TheOne. I went into the editing tool to blank-out the cussing (initials), which is just a peccadillo nowadays in my mind. But since I have middle schoolers and fundamentalists christians visiting the page, too. I try to mitigate what might be viewed as an impropriety.

Please post the video again, as I want to see it. I was nodding off when I edited that and didn't notice the video had been removed--the Nigerian in China business clip is an outstanding topic.

As for the cussing, I've come full circle on the issue. At an early age (8-12 years old), I consciously thought about whether cussing was really a bad thing and decided to minimize it, since my elders said it was a bad thing. More recently, though, I've come to realize that so-called "vulgar" language is just the adjectives used by so-called common people world wide. Lol, I mean is "cow crap" really an obscene term? No. Is "What the copulation" really a bad term?" No. But since the words, terms, are not of the highest order, I try to mitigate them to lessen the confusion.

Please post that clip again, bro. My apologies, TheOne. I'd forgotten that when I edit a post with a video, the updated post doesn't maintain the video, on the page.

No problem, Les, apology accepted. I figured you might have accidentally erased the video, but wasn't sure so I preferred to ask you why, because after all the "wtf" word has certainly become a relatively minor fault or sin I'd say. Yes I agree with lessening the confusion, and by the way as you said minor cussing is a worldwide thing nowadays, Moroccans also(not all of course) often cuss out when discussing in the native tongue.

Now here is the video in question re-posted below.

Yes, TheOne, that story’s indicative of how unencumbered by restrictions individuals can succeed anywhere. I know a Black American guy, meanwhile, who looks like that guy and has a very similar personality. The guy seems to succeed at whatever he does. He doesn’t put on any airs, just does what he needs to do, is faithful, and the proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Nice slice of life piece.

I've noticed how a number of Nigerians who've found their way to the islands have started successful businesses in their new home. Which justifies my observation that it's the leadership of some of these African countries who betray their people -
too many are totally enchanted by power itself and not serving or uplifting their folks.

As for this Nigerian in China and his car dealership - props and good luck to him but the wealth he's creating will be inherited by a Chinese woman and their mixed race kids, not other Nigerians or Nigeria. And that's the trap of a false consciousness.

Yes, Les and GM, agreed, some Nigerians are very clever when it comes to big businesses abroad.

As a matter of fact the only African who owns "THREE" major airports in England and in the entire Europe is a NIGERIAN,...he's not a Gnawa, not a Jamaican, not an AA, not a Nubian, not a Martiniquan, not an Afro-brasilian, not a Zulu, not a Somali, etc etc, he's a NIGERIAN IGBO, period. Mr Adebayo Ogunlesi.

"""""but the wealth he's creating will be inherited by a Chinese woman and their mixed race kids""""

At least Mr Adebayo Ogunlesi(photo below) who is a million time richer, doesn't have that white wife or non-black wife "complex", as you may have already noticed in the photo. His wife is also Nigerian.
