Succeeding as a Black Man in the UK 🇳🇬🇬🇧 (FR ST) | Evolve Podcast

[@evolve_hq]

What do you think about Ejirie's story? 🇳🇬🇬🇧 Which country are you viewing from?

[@dominikoluwole1948]

impressive. He is brilliant, obviously. interested in knowing the reason for the disconnection from the culture. Some measure of shame for the culture is subtly expressed. No shade. Do you, bro? the Pakistani dude seems prouder of his blackness

[@soniachristian3874]

Disappointed he never made any effort to express the positive impact the Nigerian 🇳🇬 culture norms values on education success,he spoke more from the perspective of black British culture

[@soniachristian3874]

@@dominikoluwole1948you’re absolutely 💯 right

[@fatimalytical8011]

I think he was removed from his Nigerianess..he even mentioned he doesn't speak his mother tongue....just like the current kemi bitch shit also you guys learn the history of black Americans the people snatched and sold by other royalty in Western Africa as trans Atlantic slave trade... they had to indure stuff and came up with them cultures like hip-hop and Soul and Rnb...they so please stop imposing too much....I am from Kenya I travelled through all Africa bro

[@fatimalytical8011]

Learn some History .. hip-hop history stood for anti violence,and anti drugs and many many ill stuff amongst the blacks of whose descendants of west Africans that were enslaved to build America! How can you imposters just report heresay 😅

[@dominikoluwole1948]

watched other dudes in this podcast and i honestly was a little embarrassed that this Nigerian kept it British and could not even in a little way express his African side. The Korean and Pakistani dudes proudly expressed their african roots with pride.

[@fatimalytical8011]

Such a shame 😭😭😭...no wonder Nigeria is full of scammers 😢😅

[@dominikoluwole1948]

Dom, i am from Nigeria, live in the USA...lived in the UK for a while before that. I really like this Podcast. there are complexities about Africans living in the Western world amongst their colonizers... it can be weird. I think Nigerians tend to rise above the reproach of colonization and in a sense, idolize the colonizers and show some disdain for the colonized... however, the rise of Afrobeats and its success has brought a sense of pride to blackness and in particular Nigerian Blackness for the Nigerian in diaspora

Well said!

[@erikanemmanuel618]

Love his point of view on certain issues as a nigrian myself living as an immigrant i relate alot

[@evolve_hq]

Thank you very much for your comment! Please share with others you think can relate!

[@soniachristian3874]

He appeared ashamed and embarrassed,by relating his inability to speak “blackness” or Nigeria 🇳🇬 pidgin whereas the parkistani guy was so much better in expressing his pride in his roots

[@OsadolorSarah-j5i]

It really interesting…what you guys are doing…much love from Nigeria ❤❤

[@Magarita810]

So the Nigerian guy is interesting, he keeps on referring to his accent as a disconnect. I have a British accent, was born in the UK, have lived in this country more than I did in Nigerian but do not have that disconnect. I am guessing that he may not be surrounding himself by Nigerian growing up and now.

[@fatimalytical8011]

He is a sellout 😂😂😂

[@soniachristian3874]

Quite disappointed with his interview.he made a really strong point of expressing his britishness whereas his Asian and white colleagues were very proud to express their love for their African influence

[@Magarita810]

Exactly what I thought, he focussed on his accent as being a disconnect. He is coming across as if he is not 100% proud to be a Nigerian. He needs to listen to Asian and white guy who appreciates his African influence. Came out of the video after 6.33 as the so called Nigerian guy is boring
