A 2nd Generation Immigrant Is Uk's Prime Minister by JoeyNaza: 2:23pm On Mar 03, 2023
Yes Rishi Sunak is United Kingdom's numero uno and he is a second generation immigrant i.e a child born in a country to foreign born parent(s).

He has no affiliated inter-racial marriage, both parents Indian, him too married also to an Indian. Yet the British populace deemed it fit to let him ascend such esteemed office on the basis of merit and being British by law.

I used to wonder why Caucasians made tonnes of metal and wood ( i.e ships ) float on water when Africans were bragging about riding the fastest horses.

I used to wonder why the Caucasians built sophisticated societies where knowledge is archived and expanded systematically, where order is maintained, where political, economic and social systems operate like clockwork when Africans were fighting each other, collecting war titles and trading in sticks, cowries and conquered slaves.

Nowadays, I still don't have answers to these questions yet I am sure of one thing, that nothing will ever change. Africans are congenitally diminutive beings. Chained by our own mental chains. Our very own stupidity entertains us. While the Asians are recovering lost glories, we are still towing the path of our defeated ancestors.

Sunak also did something most other Indians and Asians do not do

Joined a party

Sunak got an internship at Conservative party HQ in 2000. Let that sink in.

He got to work with the leaders of the party...ie he made connections, built ties that lasted.

He was a member of the party from that time, left to start his business, but retained the contacts, then when he entered the fray again, he had the support and people he needed.

It is the same thing with every Prime Minister.


Here in Nigeria, most of us complain about how unfair things are...meanwhile the ones that will rule over us have joined PDP, APC and company at the age of 20, and are carrying the bags of the politicans and washing their cars, while their mates drink, smoke and carouse. And then come and sit down and cry about how they are not allowing the youth take over.

Sunak is there because he worked hard for it , and he started from the bottom. And he was very patient.

Europeans destroyed Africa by forming heterogeneous countries,while in their own continent, all the countries there are homogenous..
So tell me how will Africa develop or become like Asian countries?

To put you out of your misery, my speech has nothing to do with politics as you wished it to be.

It's about tribalism all over Africa, rekindled by this public tussle over who is Yoruba enough or Igbo enough or Muslim enough or Christian enough that Africa and Middle East ( only saved by oil money ) is still dragging about meanwhile Asia that was the refuse dump of the world has left you guys behind in your senseless drama.

Some things Americans achieved and built in 1940s No African can even attempt it today.

Nah, tribalism has nothing to do much with your comment.

At the end, if you want to win elections, do it the right way.

Make alliances, and you might win

Modifed

If this is about the last election....the fact still remains that if Peter Obi had stayed in PDP or if Southern politicans had had a strategy, they still would have won, and won well.

No one gives anyone anything. Ya got to work for it. That is how things work

Omo you see why Africans are daft.

When this issue of GRV ethnicity came up, I read a thread of people complaining about how mixed parenthood affected their lives negatively and some clown is bringing in elections.

When I made the original post, I added that Rishi Sunak came in on "Merit" , he was not gifted it on a platter and moved on the the main issue.

So what was all your brainless ranting about ? Which point are you trying to pass , that your brain is small or abi you voted for Tinubu or Atiku, sounds almost the same to me.

There is nothing like "second generation immigrant"

There is only "second generation" or "immigrant"
