Two things:
1. I'm sure not EVERYTHING about Nigeria is bad. I'm sure Usman has many fond childhood memories of friends, family, the neighboorhood he grew up in etc. Just because his family decided it was too rough doesn't take that away.
2. Nobody can live in eternal gratitude with a bowed head and clasped hands like some second-rank citizen. That would make anyone sick over time. When you become a citizen you have the right to act normally and be treated normally.
Also I don't get how Usman offends you so much. What disrespect has he shown towards America other than repping the Nigerian flag in a sports contest?
Of course not. Nigeria is most well known for scamming people. Salt and sugar and a shorty film industry. mans generally one of the most brutal places to grow up and live in.
not a great place to live if your vying to be what Usman is today.
That’s literally what Nigeria is know for.
Exactly. That’s my point. why love a place that you don’t want to be apart of? Because you had some fun as a kid? Well why not have fun as an adult and the rest of your life. If you wave the flag proudly?
The most basic thing a human can ask for is a chance. A chance and if they are lucky enough they can live out there dream with as many obstacles in the way as possible.
And if you’re lucky enough to land in a place that gives you that opportunity you better be very thankful.
I’m not offended by it. Very few things offend me. I’m just calling a spade a spade.
The most basic point is if you love a country so much apparently. That you want nothing to do with. You don’t even want to live there. Then why not support the country that you love to live in that gave you the opportunities and your life you live today.
And you’re sYing it’s not political and you had fun as a a kid. Well what was wrong with the country 20 years ago and the previous and then the previous.
And why love that place you won’t spend
Any time in unless surrounded by security and cameras.
this isn’t a riddle. You’re treating it as a battered spouse. And saying in the beginning it was fun and the. Shit got really nasty.
It’s just bizarre.
