The cultural narrative is that black people are strong…they don’t have the luxury to have depression/mental health issues…..who did this to my people? 😢😢 Far from it! We are just as human as the next person…let’s be kinder, nurture community and love for one another…let’s be supportive. Those who make fun of others are witches and wizards 😂😂….how can anyone find pleasure in ridiculing others who are suffering? So heartless…it’s not a joke!!! 😡
I think these are agents of the colonisers are being paid….those selling UK as a place of abundance for anyone that comes here is off their rocker and plain lying 🤥
In Asia,they do that.Not sitting next to you.I have a genuine Longines watch,my white boss had to have my battery changed for me because the store did not think it was genuine and refused to help me service it😮😂
Nigerians even feel depressed back home the suicide rate keeps on rising over there.
A ma wa alright last last. We are stronger than we think.
In the diaspora…… you are on your own….😢 people back home want your money 🤑 and nothing else 😢.
Listening to you makes me feel better ❤. I see you brother. I’m from Lesotho 🇱🇸 ❤
Why didn't you make a capital N on Nigeria. But capitalized new zealand. Your Full of Shit

I lost my mom in January. After a compassionate leave nobody is asking me how I feel. I’m not doing well I’m desperate
Ya lookN real handsome. I love the haircut
Lessons learnt for past 20+ years:
-think about your future ; improve on education, better job, finance yourself
-don’t build a house while in diaspora , save your cash and invest when you’re on the land
-After living in diaspora 10+ STOP sending money, improve your well being, own something, a home, start a family find a person with plans like you, buy a car, legalise your papers .. it costs money
– only assist a death or school fees, pay directly to the school. Only family members, NOT outside that perimeter
Finally Block, delete phone numbers that depress and dry your humble resources, you will live a very long healthy life
I acknowledge every experience, views opinions shared, however nothing will change if we as black people do not change the way we treat each other home and abroad.
Overall, through laws, these countries and societies even treat foreigners better.
Preaching and practising love towards each other in primary school school
Phrankleen, it's good to see after such a long time. Youtellitlikeis . Great video. Great topic. Keep up the good work.
Another problem is the food eaten in the West is low energy and not conducive to our African genetic structure.
What you are saying is on point Phrankleen! We are African and live and work in a village in England. I invited my autistic son's class mates to his 6th birthday party…and from a class of 30 kids only 3 attended. Yet, had we had the same in our country South Africa, we would have had all his cousins and the majority of neighbourhood kids celebrating with him. Such a sadness but I'm trying to avoid the fact that we are black and the rest are not right here where we are.
Well said brother . being an African myself lives in AMERICA watching your videos from time to time . Keep up the good work
Thanks man for the insight. It's good when your experiences are validated. At times you think you are going crazy and you are over thinking. The microagression, the looks, the loneliness. Thanks man.
Watching this, I held my breathe for so long. I feel like crting. Thanks for treating this yopic. As you mentioned at the end please advice Nigerian males not to cast sisters aside like a lot of youtubers saying red pill. Two needs to work together to survive l'oro London.
Not just African homie
Also remember that the Depression that people suffer in later life is a predisposition from childhood trauma, family violence, parent abandonment from polygamy, the ill treatment of a woman or girl child, under valueuing and being unappreciated, growing up in homes where parents fight, growing up being hit by other children. All these childhood traumas are Registered in the brain and failure to resolve results in patterns of failure to cope and this failure to cope increases when people are ageing and it just needs one life changing moment to trigger the dormant unresolved trauma into depressive symptoms. Mental health is not a common topic in Africans however it's there very alive. So the way to fix it is to break the cycle of abuse
Came to this channel by chance and just want to point out to your viewers that white British males are at the bottom of the heap in the UK for education and life chances. De-industrialisation has resulted in no jobs for the unskilled except hospitality and the like. Life is difficult for all those with few qualifications and/or supportive family structure.Chinese and Indian people in the UK are at the top in educational attainment and those two factors are a major contribution to that success. Depression and suicide is also highest amongst young white men who feel alienated from society. Life is no picnic for millions of people.
The suggestion I have is that Africans must open Offices in all Western Countries especially Europe to give chances to some Brothers and Sisters who could not make it to help them go back Home and all so educated able to connect all our African Children who are mixed and do not know their parents or where their parents came from in Africa but can still visit any African Countries of their joice if possible they can live in those African Countries.
Do Africans know anything about depression! Most Africans are just like robot they are so ignorant!
Your analysis of the entire brutal and bias system against the immigrant community is absolutely Accurate. God bless you brother .
Another thing is most people that checked out to go overseas are illiterates. Lack of education makes them think they are in paradise when they get to Europe or the U.S. Majority of these people turn out to be online bloggers; spreading false narratives about their homeland. If you hear them talk, they could not express themselves in simple English and not to mention the absence of vocabulary. We need to pray and help those who are in distress before they crossed the red line and get into the danger zone.
Jah bless!
I have watched a couple vids on this channel, very informative and captivating i must say. The question however i ask is that? Why cant we behave the same as they do ? Why cant we look at them with disdain, why cant change seats when sitting next to them? Why do we always have to be the victim and the perpetrator at the same time? It doesn't matter whether we are abroad or in our respective countries in Africa? Folks back home dont treat them like that? Why are we so innocent towards them? I am not advocating for violence and brutality, but i think black folks need to improve their self esteem.
Mentaal slavery
Man we need to talk
white peoples see the Black men in the west as criminals or Terrorists
Open prison
Amin ooooooo
U don't live in the us talk about the uk everybody experience is different America is a great country some of u don't have a green card so to bad take what job u get
You live in a box, work in a box, drive in a box, worship in a box, do your shopping in a box, and get buried in a box.
This topic is deep bro. I appreciate you bringing out real information. ❤❤
Can we start by addressing ourselves respectfully. How can we say we are black and they are white???? We are brown in complexion or Africans while they are YELLOW in complexion.
I thought I was the only one who felt like this, wow. Being born and raised here in the states to Sierra Leonean parents, I never felt any connection here whatsoever and it's worse when you're by yourself because everyone is spread out and/or working from sun up until sundown like myself and right at it again when a new week approaches.
The West is cold . The lack of humanity and too much of hate.
Franklin most Nigerians dont help each other at all in Uk. In some europenes country back people help among themself. In Uk most Nigerians are very selfish and self center .am not saying economica help.but mentaly. They should try to help or tell .people where they can get help.
This is pretty much my life. I came here by myself; no family, no friends. I constantly feel lonely in the midst of a crowd. To make matters worse, I lost my mom in 2020, the lock down made it impossible to visit home. I had to mourn her in isolation, no physical contact with any friend or family. Best believe I am still grieving and so depressed. Nothing has helped to be honest cos I feel like I was robbed of the most precious gift God blessed me with all in the name of getting a PHD! I have tried therapy and it hasn’t helped. I look at pics of home just to have sweet memories. It’s truly unnatural to communicate mostly over the phone just cos the people around you can’t truly connect with you on the same level. Hmmmmmmmmmm, this is deep and most people will not understand.
Yo. Your story about the non-Black woman not wanting to sit next to you during the flight was disheartening. It affected you because you have a big heart and your mind understood she was being totally irrational & stupid. But brother I want to give you another perspective. F*ck her. You didn't do anything wrong. She brought her discomfort on herself. And she made herself look like a buffoon to the flight staff and fellow passengers.
I'll end with this. I've long tired of being caught off guard by obnoxious or racist people. So what I do is, I ASSUME the non-black person IS racist and work from there. Is it the best outlook to have? Maybe/maybe not. However, it helps and protects my emotional well-being. The one thing I tell my Black friends and Black co-workers is we are not obligated to make other races comfortable. We do not have to explain or justify our existence in the world. We are the oldest humans on the f*cking earth according to science. We been here so f*ck if other races like us or not.
Good Talk
