Watch how this 16 year old Nigerian debated with other students from other countries in Africa. It's amazing how a 16 year old can be this informed about history. Something which is very rare nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840XWjnt9wc 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I watched the video on twitter and marveled... See how composed and intelligent he is, answering questions pertaining prejudice on race which he single-handedly carried the black race on his back. Nigeria has since been playing the role of big brother in the continent. The Ghanaian said that they (Ghanaians) have prejudice against Nigerians, that they see us as below their level that that's why many Nigerians could be found in Accra doing menial jobs. Note: Ghana was rich in gold and agriculture (cocoa) then while Nigeria was still grappling with agriculture before the advent of oil. The South African teenage white girl was trying to justifying apartheid against black South Africans saying that they got to the land before the zulu that prior to their arrival the zulus where still migrating to South Africa from the north. That it was the white that brought development to South Africa. The Ethiopian guy there was just confused saying they have prejudice against the blacks that Ethiopians are Jews. The Nigerian guy after tackling both the South African girl and Ghanaian girl looked at the Ethiopian and saw him as confused. Go to youtube and see how present day Ethiopians are rejecting the views of the guy that they are Africans while applauding the Nigerian who stood for blacks. His demeanor and poise at answering questions is unlike today's teenage students, he answered like a university scholar with composure (I bet some today's undergraduate can't do that). His name is Boniface Offorkaja, he later became the chairman of Anambra Broadcasting Corporation where Pete Edochie also worked, unfortunately, he died three years ago. 3 Likes |

christejames: I was even laughing when he was debating with the white girl. Even though the girl is smart she let her emotions get in the way she was just shouting ridiculous without giving any valid point. But Boniface was cool and calm yet savage. And there was something Boniface said that really threw me off. He told the white girl to imagine how bad it'll be for South Africa if the blacks are elected into power after all the years of apartheid. And recently I read an article on Quora about how bad some white South Africans are treated by blacks in South Africa because the blacks think the white South Africans are more privileged. And to think that this was foretold by a 16 year old 64 years ago. The Ethiopian is a burnt Hebrew ![]() 1 Like |

christejames: Even though the Nigerian did well there were some faults in his facts. He said that the Dutch settlers on the cape were driven from their lands in Europe but that is not true, it was the French settlers the Huguenots that were driven from their lands to the cape for refusing to convert to Catholicism. 1 Like |

Hintona: She was so emotional! That revelation is playing out already about South Africa... xenophobia is also an offshoot of that apartheid regime somewhat. The Ethiopian guy, his case is different. 1 Like |
