Saudi Arabia recorded one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history after securing a surprise 2-1 comeback win against a Lionel Messi-led Argentina in Tuesday’s Group C clash.
For the first time since 1990, Argentina have lost their opening match at a World Cup.
Also, Saudia Arabia have ended Argentina’s 36-game unbeaten streak.
It was a game of two halves as the Argentine bossed the first 45 minutes and deservedly went in front.
But it was a different Saudi Arabia side that emerged for the second half as they netted two quick goals to turn things around.
Messi opened the scoring in the 10th minute from the penalty spot but had another chalked off for offside minutes later.
Lautaro Martinez also had two goals ruled out due to offside calls after consultations with VAR.

But in the second half Saudi Arabia drew level on 48 minutes thanks to Saleh AlShehri who slotted a left foot strike beyond the outstretched hands of Martinez.
Then in the 53rd minute Salem Aldawsari made it 2-1 as he controlled the ball inside the box before hitting a superb volley into the far corner.
Argentina will hope to bounce back from the shock defeat to Saudi Arabia when they face Mexico on Saturday.
For Saudi Arabia they will look to consolidate on their five-star performance against Argentina when they face Poland the same day.

Where are those fake science student, please what chemical was missing from Argentina winning this game. Which vegetable did they eat. You will come here and be spilling nonsense about science. Can’t wait for more surprises to spring up at this world cup. So you attention seekers will know that football is played with hunger and determination and not what someone is eating per se.
There is no nation as racist as Argentine fans three days ago they chanted racist sing against all the blacks players in France national teams especially Nbape was singled out they said his father came from Nigeria and mother is from Cameron.
Since then my respect for them has nose drived
Is it only the fans what did that Lunatic Otamendi do to Iheanacho in a Friendly back in 2017. Slapping his or pushing him so violently like they were never team mates. also Today refused to shake the Saudi players hand.
And the ARABS aren’t racist right?
They are more racist than Argentina!!
And blacks aren’t racist right?
Have u ever heard of Africa Americans calling africans BOOTY SCRATCHERS before?
Black people are more racist than anyone!! Stop it
Everyone is racist but you don’t have to lie just to make your points. I have never heard African Americans calling Africans Booty Scratchers. Rather, it is your African people that keep calling them “Akata” which means Animal in Yoruba language.
Haba adeyemi, there are African Americans that do dislike we natural Africans. Have had 2 such experiences, and it dawned on me that they just pretend to like Africa. They hate you even more when you smarter than them.
Where do u stay or live in America?
Am in NEW YORK…. Tell me where u live
Besides GOOGLE AFRICA BUTT SCRATCHERS and u ll see how they referred to us
Again, they say we STINK!!
Adeyemi
U just a ROOKIE and u probably just came to America so u don’t know shit!
U simply naive bro
Read this DEFINITION of African booty scratchers
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=African%20Booty%20Scratcher
Read it …..
stop talking shit and getting in your feelings
So much for soccer-science and analytics!
No, it’s not logic or science behind the Saudi win it must be the beheading of 17 people in the last 7 days that is behind their win.
All Saudi national football players play in their national league . Football is local just as politics is local . With
The same Renard that has been successful with African teams stopped the Argentines.
Though the Argentines can still go on to the last stages while the Saudi could drop by the wayside but with this their Coach. Anything is possible
This harve Renard would have been coaching Nigeria but bcos of corruption and the FA not ready it wouldn’t happen ,he said it himself few years back …what a win by the Saudi’s
They play in their league,correct but stayed there also, after loads of friendly games and qualifiers. They never jumped into foreign leagues after one or two friendly games with their national team.
How do you know they do not jump? If you in the shoe of local league players, won’t you jump the ship if you have the option to continue your football in Europe or Asian countries?
Because our players in the local league jump ship that’s why you cannot build a solid national team from home is the point @Glory is making.
The problem with the handler of National Team is that we are limited to only specific leagues and blinded by the big European leagues. Even though, these crops of players moved from one country to the other, we can still extend invitation to them. We should maintain continuity. Local league players including the foreign ones can be monitored to see if one can displace any player in the present core team. Our 1st 22 players should include players regardless of wherever they play especially those fit the system of the coach.
How much does Saudi Arabia spend on their local league? $2 billion a year, bigger than Nigeria spends on its defense budget. They have the money to develop their local league; Nigeria cannot come near to spending as much.
Africans when they loose by a slim margin to top ranked teams think they’ve achieved something closer to winning the world cup. Fake penalty, biased referee, but still the Saudi’s won.
Abi o oga monte, thought with the analytics they keep screaming and throwing all over the place, saudi should have collected 10 goals today. It all boils down to how hungry and determined they were and they showed it all over the field. A total collective effort
Saudi had 3 chances they took two and won. It was their high defensive line, offside tactics, and pressing that won them the game. Argentina put the ball 3 times in the Saudi net, all ruled offside, showing the coach’s tactic with offside traps worked.
No way Saudi were going to score 10.
NIGERIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION, I HOPE YOU HAVE SEE THE IMPACT OF COACH RENARD HAVARD. CONTINUE TO BE EMPLOY BOTH MUMU FOREIGN & LOCAL COACH AND EXPECT TO WIN AFCON CUP.
NFF ifyou have any care left towards Nigerian football move for Herve Reynard after WC ASAP!!!!!!!. That will make we Real Fans of Nigerian Football Happy and will show you mean business in taking Nigeria back to our spot!
Ugo it’s impossible to hire him now, his stocks has skyrocketed. I remember when we were doing the campaign for this man some people on this forum downplayed him. I even challenged Oga Rohr led team to tackle Saudi if they can lol. It’s too late Renard has passed our level.
Exactly bro we tried our best to Campaign for him.. needless to say you know exactly who those people on this Forum where headed up by non other than Dr. Drey the evil agents towards Naija ball.
Hahahaha…useless fool, The whole world knows the devilish people who have dragged Nigerian football back into the gutters. They know those who are now barking at every article on CSN now in disgrace.
Please go and dig out where I ever said you shouldnt hire Herve Renhard.
Maybe your brain was involved in an accident when I said repeatedly on this forum that If Rohr be let go, his replacement has to be head and shoulders above him. But no, dafts like you lied to your masters in NFF that you have the best and most talented players in Africa……LMAoooo…..any coach can win AFCON with this team in 2 weeks…..LMAoooo. 1 year latter you are being raped from continent to continent by teams that would have struggled to force us to a draw with Rohr in charge.
I remembered telling y’all you will never get any coach of Rohr’s quality (no matter how bad you rate him) for $45,000 per month…..but what did you do, you foolishly sacked Rohr and went to get a $75,000 per month coach only to be pilling up losses in disgraceful fashion……LMAooooo. Its not even 6 months yet and you’ve already started pilling up debts in owe salaries at a mere $75,000 per month…….LMAooo. But you clamour for coaches who earn above $100,000 p/m. Do you need to be told you and dumb…..?? Bunch of barbarians.
We were more sensible than barking dogs like you, we knew an NFF that constantly owed $45,000 per month for as much as 6 months in a year would not afford $120,000 per month, so we never bother joining your senselessness in wet-dreaming about ever geting Renhard.
Otherwise, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. We wouldnt have campaigned for Renhard when the likes of Vicent Del Bosque, Zidane, Deshcamps, Guadiola (the real Guadiola), Deschamps, Simeone, Felipe Scolari and the rest are still alive.
Ndi operation Bring Rohr Back Rubbish talkers can you see a Real Coach not your Dumbo Rohr!
I’m not a fan of Rohr but we need to keep mentioning his name. He’s history in the Super Eagle’s story. He came, he tried, found wanting at times but still led the country to a 3rd place place and he will be remembered for that. Time to move forward. Either we all support Peseiro or get him booted. Changing coaches like clothes is not going to help our fortunes in the country. We can’t keep crying over spoilt milk. It’s time for Nigeria to move forward.
Hervé Renard—
*Led Zambia to their FIRST-EVER AFCON;
*Led Saudi Arabia to their all-time FIRST-EVER WIN against Argentina, PLUS a FIRST-EVER WIN for ANY Asian/Arabian side against Argentina at the World Cup!!
A man of many firsts….yet, Amaju and his cohorts overlooked this man?
Every problem has a ROOT. That’s all I’ll say on this one

You forgot Cote d ivoire…
He was even the one that managed Morocco to their longest Unbeaten streak.
But lesson to naija fans,
Imagine it was Nigeria that got beaten by Saudi or Hungary come to Abuja or Uyo and beat us 4-0 like they beat England in Wembley, then you will start hearing things like “Let NPFL players dominate the team” foreign players are overhyped like the way Messi, Martinez, And others were overhyped before today’s match.
You ain’t seen anything yet, more surprises to come.
I mean Morocco played many Matches under him without Conceeding
Nice one @ Sean.
@Sean, fans should never celebrate mediocrity. Do you think Argentina fans are holding carnivals right now? Do you know how the Argentina media will slam the team tomorrow? Do you know how many English fans called for Southgate’s sack? Don’t come here with what you don’t know.
@Ignatius, may be you shout wait till tomorrow and come back to show where it will be written that players from River plate, Boca Juniors and Corinthians should dominate Argentine team after the world cup
Should *****
Actually Sean, Côte d’Ivoire had already won the AFCON in 1992, that’s why i deliberately skipped his 2015 win (purely because he wasn’t the first to do it for them), but still, the man achieved it anyways.
But thanks all the same
Saudi Arabia have accomplished what NFF failed to do in 5 attempts. Beat Argentina in a world cup.
Congrats Saudi.
Those calling for Renard, you guys must hate him. How can you wish something so bad for a guy making progress in his life? He should come and work with NFF, so they can be owing him? Tufiakwa!
I will only support it if NFF change their ways. But will they ever change?
@Pompei, I am not sure Renard would agree to work with NFF, because his agent has turned down a similar offer from them when the NFF have issues with Sunday Oliseh, there aren’t just a serious federation .
At Present Renard receive as much as $1.7 million as salary from the Saudi FA. I doubt if NFF can even afford that
Osaro Renard cost less at the time we could have poached him but our NFF are looking for people they will share salary with.
Hahahahaa….even as at 2018 when Renard was coaching Morocco, he was costing the Moroccan FA about $120,000 per month. That is the person your NFF could have poached when Rohr’s $45,000 per month was a mountain too high to climb for them for annually.
Keep up your dream ehn…..!
Well said Brodaman Pompei. You are one of the few people who make me come here to comment because you speak sense.
Are we witnessing the beginning of an ARAB REVOLUTION in football?
Egypt just beat Belgium. Saudi dropped Argentina. Tunisia is keeping Denmark at bay. Hmmm.
Or is it just a flash in the pan?
Interesting. We continue to observe.
A bad team with a good coach is better than a good taem with a bad coach. Unfortunately, we belong belong to the second divide, and we’ve been like that since the 2013 era of Stephen Keshi
It’s a serious situation. We can’t afford a good coach and the cheap coaches we’ve been attracting have no luck of helping the team.
Saudi had money to employ a good coach and the impact is immediate. After all, when Peseiro coached them, it was a lifetime error; losses upon losses.
It is well.
@PapaFem Nigeria has money to employ any coach only if it’s a priority to the government.
The money to pay a foreign coach is nothing compare to the amount they loot daily.
Our happiness is not a priority otherwise they would have got us a good foreign coach.
Sadly the presidents we have had in the past 30yrs are not ones that are into footy making the release of money for such projects hard.
Haba adeyemi, there are African Americans that do dislike we natural Africans. Have had 2 such experiences, and it dawned on me that they just pretend to like Africa. They hate you even more when you smarter than them.
@Abayomi. You know what I mean. Africans don’t like African Americans cos we think we are better than them. African Americans don’t like us because they felt insecure and don’t like the competition with us. Remember slavery was real as well. We Africans don’t want to understand the struggles of the African Americans and what shaped them into whom they are.
Until we put ourselves in each other’s feet, we will continue to hate each other.
So the slavery only affected BLACK AMERICANS and not Africans!!
Stereotyping Africans is one helluva of a disease
We aren’t riding on their struggles ….
The new WORLD( America) was built on the sweat of RESOURCES STOLEN from Africa and it’s still the same
The own us and not the other way round bro
Social media has made them to re think how they see Africans now but even five years ago, African Americans doesn’t even wanted to be called as AFRICANS but rather BLACK AMERICANS
Is the input of immigrants in this nation that has continued to what America is today and not any struggles of black Americans
And even there are a lot of Africans who also contributed in the emancipation of black race in America and one of them is DR NKRUMAH
@Selfmade King, making some cogent points!
How is the other way round? Both us of Africans that have been disparaged by slavery and colonialism. They were forcefully removed frm Africa. Don’t ever compare the suffering our people went through to colonialism. These people were stripped of their culture and humanity. However, while we received our independences, these people are still struggling with the aftermath of slavery and still struggling till today. Without their struggles, there won’t us here. And don’t tell me Immigrants built this country. Harvard University for instance was built as a seminary with the sale of African Slaves. You can’t compare. Haiti was the first Black Country to get independence which helped with the struggles of America. Don’t bring Africa up in this, please.
Please be informed. While Africans were allowed to go to colleges, many African Americans were denied. In fact the first AA to attend white public school was in 1960. Never compare our struggles with them. We got our independence in 1960 but destroyed our continent with our greed.

I am surprise all our in-house proponents of science football methodology are quiet on this thread and have gone ghostmode apparently still thinking how Saudi Arabia with a team having no notable name, not to mention playing in the usual loud noise about top 5 league… did the magic against Argentina.
When we tell them football is not by name, nor club one plays for, it is not hype… football first at the elite professional level is first self-belief and talent. Nobody come world cup to tie shoe lace for another person. Those of us wey know have shouted for long that are team is weak and players are average at best, but we get called names.
Football no be by name… We just don’t have a team brimming with players that possess self-belief and pure talent… See the likes of Ekong, anytime I see that brother in defence I know it’s Opio… dude can’t play top division football because he isn’t cut for it pure and simple.
If NFF MUST GET FOREIGN BORNS, let them get their acts together to really make the SE attractive for those ones who are really good to chase us. As we speak… we don’t have a central defender in the class of Adarabioyo, players like Eze, Olise, Adarabioyo can really help us. Again let’s begin to try Alhassan Yususf, that guy seems more mobile and sharp than most of the guys calling themselves SE midfielders… Kingsley Michael if not for the injury he sustained last year September, should be sitting the likes of Etebo permanently on bench right now. That guy was largely the reason Cape Verde did not overrun as in Mindelo when we played them at home.
Infact Onuachu was one of the few players who impressed me against Portugal but I know a lot of people don’t know how to watch a match and will say his ineffective, for me Moffi is a robotoically static player… heavy on his right leg.
If Saudi Arabia’s victory over Argentina today (albeit a fluke) wasnt a product of careful and painstaking study of tonnes of data and available records of the Argentine team (individually and collectively), in-depth analyses of the collated records, making of clear and non-biased inferences, arriving at realistic conclusions and converting all of these to accurate and precise information that guide informed decisions and instructions from the Saudi technical team to the players to go and execute on the pitch, then I wonder what it was down to.
Maybe if it was fasting and prayers from the two holy mosques and reliance on god and luck.
Consistency is what makes a man. Consistency is what makes great teams. Saudi Arabia should use their self belief and determination to also win their next two games and top this group or even go ahead to win this world cup please and put me to shame. Then all these backward taxying innuendos being propounded will become valid.
Otherwise, shame on those who feel encouraged to take advantage of this shock win to turn logic on its head and champion their same ideas which suck us deep in the misery we find our football today. We are still not yet recovered from their disastrous opinions 1 year after.
Data in itself is of no use if it cannot be processed into informed decisions. A lot of tactical plays executed by Saudi Arabia today (and by extension in contemporary modern football) were clearly, I repeat CLEARLY a result of the information handed to them, from structured and informed decisions by their coach(es)……not some fate-provided, Arabian genie inspired, fallacious self determination-induced lucky breaks.
Saudi Arabia should better eat and drink their self determination for the next one month, I want to see them lift the world cup with it.
Its really not good to be half educated or have none at all……LMAoooo
My friend Shut your Damn mouth. Zambia won the AFCON in 2012 as stark outsiders who was the Coach?. IVORY COAST golden generation was at risk of Retiring without an AFCON medal to thier name who made that happen?. You always have some sorded justification to validate your lack of Congnisanse. Will you just shut the hell up. This coach is miles ahead of your pimp Rohr. Your Rohr could not win AFCON with A Gabon squad that was seemingly on Par with Zambia’s 2012 squad had Herve had that Gabonese squad he would have faired better. Dude just do your self a favour and lay off the drugs for a change. Mtcheew!!
Hahahaha…Gabon’s squad at par with Zambia’s 2012 squad…..LMAOooo. And the idiot talks about lack of congissance……LMAoooo
Zambia was 11th at 2006 AFCON, 9th at 2008 AFCON, exited at the quarterfinal on penalties after dealing with Nigeria for 120 minutes….they were ranked 20 places above Gabon in the lead up to their AFCON victory in 2012. Gabon didnt even as much as qualify for AFCON in 2006 and 2008 and crashed out of 2010 AFCON in the group stages.
…..but Gabon was at par with Zambia……LMAoooo.
Am I shocked…..absolutely No. What else can anyone expect from a stray-dog if not empty howling like above….and he talks about lack of Congnisance….LMAoooo
My pimp Rohr took that Gabon (who had only ever won two matches in all competitions at AFCON) to the top of their group in 2012 AFCON, winning all 3 games vs Morrocco, Tunisia and Niger, exiting on penalties to Mali in the qfinals and finishing 5th place (Gabon’s best ever placing at the AFCON) at the end of the competition. Till today Gabon has not smelt 5th place at AFCON since my pimp left them…even as hosts in 2017. Gabon has since then not won 3 matches in ALL AFCONs they’ve participated in till date.
That is Gabon that is at par with Zambia according to one fool that we all know.
Any coach that leads Gabon to 3 wins in 1 AFCON today will have his portrait embossed on their Francs.
That old pimp Rohr sure has a way of leaving a positive mark wherever he works, be it on their women or on their football.
My friend just shut the hell up. And shove all your analytics crap up your filthy ass. It’s obvious you didn’t play the game at high level. Maybe you think the world cup is monkey post that you were playing at Maroko. People are talking about what it takes to win games in this game, you still talking about data. Abeg na who data help. May i suggest you go back and watch the match again and see how determined the Saudis were. Abeg na which fufu or Eba Argentina chop, abi vegetarian salad fon finish ni. Nonsesne
Okponu…it is you who played the game at the highest level…..LMAooo
I guess it was self-belief and determination your coach was singing into your ears in training everyday when you were playing at the highest level…..LMAOooo
Didinrin obunu oshi.
Why didnt Australia use determination to defeat france….LMAoooo. They forgot their determination in Sydney abi……LMAOooo. Saudi Arabia should use their self belief and determination to win their next 2 matches in the group and proceed to win the World cup with it…since that is what it takes to win games at the world cup…..LMAoooo
Illiteracy is indeed a disease.
Lol…. I forgive u for referring to people as UNEDUCATED!! U had ur education from the classroom but there are some UNEDUCATED people who had their education from the STREETS and they are more KNOWLEDGEABLE than u!!
There’s a difference between BOOK KNOWLEDGE and that intuitive wisdom and knowledge acquired from the streets just by associating with mere UNEDUCATED people on the streets and this is where I beat u hands down!
Is those that are uneducated but street savvy are the very ones that RUN THE STREETS!!
Judging by how u write here based purely on ur grammatical construction, I can bet u some uneducated people can do far better than this!!
Mister u have been in America for 14 years but is about time u start broadening ur HORIZONS because honestly it seems to me that u are a ROOKIE!!
Btw, I was BORN AND BREAD here THO AFRICA IS MY MY MAMA!!
U are too subjective of the matter that we are discussing here but sometimes such issues requires objectiveness and open mindedness which u simply lacked!!
So no one has called u that NAME before so it isn’t true right?
Ok has ANYONE ever called u an AFRICAN MONKEY before ever since u came to America?
So since no one has ever referred to u as AN AFRICAN MONKEY, isn’t true that , other Africans has suffered such a racial degradation?
Open ur mind because it seems u have a lot to learn MISTER!!
I think you are the one that need to open your brain and widen your horizon. You want to condemn a group of people when you don’t fare better. Who cares whether you are born. How many times have you been shot dead in Africa cos of your skin color? Were Africans denied from going to school? Was bomb dropped on Africans recklessly? Ocoee massacre? Tulsa massacre? Tuskegee syphilis test? Oga, use your brain and sense. Africans didn’t go through the same problems they faced. We grew up being free. Their ancestors fought and secure everything they have. Without civil right struggles, there are many things you won’t enjoy today. You are one of the Africans who think they are better than everyone. Nonsense. Taka an AA and let them grow in Nigeria and they will behave like you guys and vice versa. Stop spewing rubbish.
Stop arguing blindly. The conversation started from AA hated Africans but you also hated them. So, all my discussions were not subjective lol. Whether my command of English is perfect or not, it doesn’t matter inasmuch as you understood the comment. Africans and their inferiority complexes. I rest my case.
So South Africans didn’t have a civil right struggles like AFRICA Americans right?
Zimbabweans didn’t have a civil right struggles like African Americans right?
So Africans didn’t also have their fair shared of LOOTING from imperial colonists who stole everything from us during the colonization?
In Africa alot of civil disobedience went on too and alot of African leaders were imprisoned and some even lost their lives?
What makes the American civil right struggles more important than African one? Think like a man for once
Have u ever heard of NEOCOLONIALISM before? All least black Americans are free in some sense but Africans are still under the chains but ur little IQ cldnt factored all these into considerations
I thought u said that u have read the black American histories and therefore I was expecting alot from u
Have u ever heard of BRITISH MUSEUM where a lot of Africa artifacts from mainly Nigeria and Ghana are kept? Do u know that, those items and probably alot unknown were stolen from Africa by these invading colonizers?
What makes the black America civil rights struggles more PAINFUL than African colonization?
What makes the American civil rights struggles more harsher than South Africa apartheid?
Why is the civil rights struggles in America more important than millions of Africans put in CHAINS AND OUR WOMEN raped in our own continent? A lot of Africans lost their lives as well
What makes u rate the American civil rights struggles more than AFRICA colonization and enslavement?
I have seen one thing about u and that’s u are very MYOPIC because and u just think WITH ONLY ONE SIDE of ur brain lol!!
Listing all the examples of what African Americans went through during the civil rights movements without flipping the coin to see what Africans also went through shows ur COARSENESS lol
Frankly with all ur degrees and masters degree I expected a cogent and intelligent responses from u but honestly am not IMPRESSED lol
U very myopic and btw u cldnt answer any of my questions that I asked u in my previous posts!!
U just a LIGHTWEIGHT sad lol
U have an IQ comparable to an AMOEBA lol
Well, believe whatever you believe. Yes, the struggles are comparable. I can’t keep arguing people who refuses to use rational thinking. It is comparable as you said.
Inferiority complex is when u THINK WITH ONLY ONE SIDE OF UR BRAIN lol
Am just wondering what kind of a doctor u truly are lol
Btw I wldnt have had any issue with ur grammar if u hadn’t referred to people as UNEDUCATED!!
Guys African Americans are the best people in the world, those people went through hell from slavery to Jim Crow from Jim Crow to systematic incarceration and oppression. Still they’re the most forgiven people,study their history then come back here then I will engage you. Read about the railroad workers movement, Rosewood, escape from plantation, Selma match, medgar evers a lot to read about bro. Those guys gave blacks folks a voice on the world stage. From their music to their civil right movement. Most Nigerians should be quite anyway especially southern Nigerians, bunch of lazy ignorant people been enslaved in their country by some rag tag Fulanis Muslims. African Americans are not stupid or lazy, fighting against 400 yrs of systematic oppression is not a joke.
Don’t mind this noisy man called Selfmade King. Keep arguing over what is obvious. He wants to call African Americans racists towards Africans when we Africans do the same to them. What’s the foundation of our ethnicity bigotry and racism? Same foundation!!! Fulanis don’t like Hausas unless it is what will benefit Fulani agenda. Igbos don’t like Yorubas and vice versa. Let him go and study history with spewing rubbish here.
U see u just confused!!
This man validated my point and u have even added more spices to the argument
The above comment-or said that southern Nigeria has been invaded by FULANIS which validates my point that BLACK ON BLACK RACISM is every prevalent than WHITE/black racism
U just confused and u looking for a way out!!
The basis of the whole argument was that Argentina fans are racist to black people and I said in the early post that, blacks are also racist and I give an eg of African
Americans calling African booth scratchers and u said it’s a lie because u never heard that term bf!!
That was the basis of the argument but the above commentor have been vindicated me by using FULANIS AND SOUTHERN NIGERIANS as example of how black peoples hate on themselves remember fulanis and souther Nigerians are ALL AFRICANS!!
So black Americans don’t hate themselves right?
The biggest CRIME RATE IN America is BLACK ON BLACK crime…..
Open ur eyes and ears because it seems u too naive
@ ADEYEMI
U see u keeping on saying Africans and inferiority complex but crony write ups, I can see a text book inferior filled being!!
U the king erroneously that, black emancipation and freedom started from CIVIL RIGHTS movements and struggles in America but u are wronged big time but I don’t blamed u because u see urself from those who hate u and hence everything from their books is the true gospel to u but not me tho
Before there was civil rights movements in America, some AFRICAN TRIBES has already fought with the the same imperial invaders who brutalized African Americans in the new world!
Ashanti’s in Ghana fought with their colonial invaders for their freedom and rights just like the Benin people in present day Nigeria
Civil rights struggles and movement didn’t started in America as u want to put and is about time u TAKE THAT COMPLEX FROM ur system
I ll however agreed with one of ur assertions that, we have to judged African Americans based on where they are coming from and that’s true tho
Why are you arguing with yourself? It’s very wrong to keep comparing the systemic racism these AA have been subjected to the colonialism in Africa. No one argued that Africans didn’t fight for their independence but we have it better. We got our independences in the 60s with the exception of South Africa who got theirs later. Despite the fact that AA were emancipated, they were not really free. You could argue that was the case in Africa but in Africa we have more freedom to dictate the government but greed won’t let us. No one is saying there are not external influence in Africa. I still maintain my stance. The civil right movement is the reason why many of us are here not the fight for our freedoms in Africa… Anyway, you are right. I’m tired of this argument. You are better than African Americans and they are worthless and ignorant for calling you booty scratcher. Do you even know the origin of the phrase? You are the boss and very knowledgeable. Let’s rest please.
Nobody said anywhere that he/she is better than African Americans? Where did anyone said that! The basis of the whole argument was that BLACK PEOPLE are racially biased against themselves as well and I referred to the fact that, some black Americans were calling Africans as booty scratchers and u said am lying simply because u have never been called like that before!!
This is the basis of our argument!!
BLACK ON BLACK RACISM is even more PREVALENT in America than WHITE/BLACK racism and u have even validated my point by saying that Africans think they are better than black Americans!! Period! U validated it!!
You never said you are better. However, that’s the typical mentality of Africans here. Moreover, the phrase is not quite a popular one. I have asked around and neither myself nor my African American friends even knew the existence of such derogatory phrase. By the way, it stems during slavery when the slaves were scratched the asses of their masters because they are too lazy to scratch it themselves. Can you see, it’s doesn’t even reflect Africans. I argued with you when supposedly said African Americans don’t like Africans. We Africans have our own bias and prejudice against them mostly fed by biased media and the “system”. It’s high time that Blacks work together. The two struggles are incomparable. I come in peace.
U said u never heard the term before so how come u all of a sudden EXPLAINING it to me?
It’s some sort of DOUBLE standard?
U said u never heard the term before and even ur AA doesn’t know what the term means and u said that tho it’s in the urban dictionary, it doesn’t exist because it hasn’t happened to u or ur AA, so why are u now explaining this very term to me then?
So now u know that, there’s a term as AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHERS and that demeaning words were used here in America and not only that, black Americans used this term on AFRICANS?
U see that was the problem, u or ur AA haven’t heard the word doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist and u shouldn’t have called me a LIAR and that I was trying to deformed a whole race!!
The mere that, u now know the genesis of this term now vindicates my early points that I wasn’t lying about anything
Again I made it clear in my early post that, thanks to social media African Americans has a paradigm shift about how they see Africans now because even about fie years ago, they themselves used a lot of racial SLURR against Africans here!!
YouTubers has changed their perspective about AFRICA and Africans in general!!
