I feel you because Germans are known for their dedication to craftmenship and their engineering skills.
But when you look at the diaspora, Nigerians can be on that same wave with the right support.
We can get on our ADOS/FBA shyt when Nigerians try to place themselves in our politics/culture, but outside of that, we have to salute those folks for their dedication to excellence in all aspects of life, despite the odds they face.
I love it.
Let me add on to this while i'm in the mood...
I was just having a conversation with my oldest daughter yesterday when we were discussing Wandavision (watch that shyt if you haven't already.)
But, while talking about that show, we got on a conversation about Russians and people from the old Soviet Union, and what they've dealt with in this lifetime.
Basically, the lesson I gave her was:
"Look, black people in America can sit and complain about slavery, something that happened to our ancestors 100 plus years ago, and we have a valid justice claim..
But, you also have to understand that we live in a world with people that experienced horrific, war time shyt, in their real lives.
They watched their families get murdered in front of them, experienced famines where they literally didn't know where their next meal was coming from, watched buildings get blown up that they've seen their whole life, and all types of other shyt, and those people are here in this country with us right now.
So we can't sit back and expect everyone to feel our struggle, because they can say,
"I experienced what you say your ancestors dealt with, first hand, and I still came here and prospered."
Whether that's right or wrong in your view, you have to understand that that's how a lot of folks feel, and are here on a mission to compete on the highest levels of society, so in order to compete with them, you have to understand that nobody really gives a fukk about your pain, and whoever can conquer their pasts, work their asses off, and defy the odds, is who is always going to win in this world.
You might not think it's fair, but it's life, and there ain't shyt you can do about it but peep game and act accordingly, if you want to be a major player in this game."
