Your grandfather was not a "witch doctor" but a Spiritualist or Herbalist....could be both. It was the Westerners who said they were "witch doctors" We need to remember that.
His grandfather was an Ifa Priest. Not a witch doctor. Notice how he makes reference to “memorizing” incantations, which are the Sacred Odu. A little sad to hear him mistakingly malign his grandfather.
As a Nigerian woman who's lived in Europe for years, even I have difficulties dealing with that Nigerian "aggression" When I visit home. That constant feeling of people trying to out smart/con you every chance they get and over the littlest sh#t is exhausting.
@@hassshoban8206 Poverty sis??!? Ori eti daru, iyalaya ni poverty sis. Oponu oloriburuku. I own enough assets in Nigeria to create jobs for your entire family. Are you people not ashamed of the reputation we have? With the popularity of afrobeats worldwide, Nigeria should be a tourist hotspot by now. Tourism creates jobs and contribute to the economy of alot of countries. Ya'll think we can rely on the crude oil that's drying up for ever? Nigeria owes alot of debt to China for it's infrastructures, we keep borrowing money that's being embezzled by the political leaders. China will own many major infrastructures if Nigeria is unable to pay back the debts..
When that biracial Nigerian-British guy was talking about not being well-connected to his Nigerian relatives in 15:47, I can relate to him as well. I’m half Nigerian🇳🇬 and half Malawian🇲🇼, but I was born and raised in the US. I have some Nigerian extended family members in Nigeria that act so fishy just like this biracial guy’s Nigerian family members. They don’t even look at me as “Nigerian enough” so it’s hard to relate. My Malawian family members that live in Malawi are a little less dramatic, but I’m not well-connected to them either. It feels like they show love or respect when westernized money or material things are given to them. I think this is a problem within a lot of black families around the world.
When you are combined with another culture you get the Obama syndrome of black skin whire mind and value system. You don't know what kind of mutation they gone try to get you to jump on board with via a sob story. Meanwhile they on some other agenda and steady recruiting you out of your established cultural benefits of stability and traditions. No thank you. You are a group unto yourself. There is no mutual benefit. The benefit just accommodates YOU. Just like the Trans community which in key ways is more the foundation of your community which invites a very either or mindset based on what agenda is preferred based on the immediate necessity which lends itself to cultural usery.
I’m an African American woman living in Nigeria with my Nigerian husband of 3.5 years. I have been coming back and forth for all that time, and this time decided to stay until I give birth. After all that time, and now pregnant with twins, I just discovered that I was Romance scammed. Forget 🚩, I got hit with flares! It was so smooth and seamless, I thought we were struggling because of cultural differences, and I didn’t want to give up without giving it my best shot. But in the past four months of me being back on the Continent he has been absolutely emotionally unavailable, he has said some things people should never say to anyone, the lying started and there was no shame about it. Always arguing about MY money but didn’t want to talk about our relationship issues. So I’ve decided to go it alone, I had already given up my apartment in the US. I’m staying on the Continent because this is where I want be. I’ve been scammed by everyone I do business with or transact business with, even trying to just buy groceries is a challenge. If you’re a foreigner you are oyibo or white, (Igbo word) regardless of SKIN color, or akatta in Yoruba. It’s offensive to me because I have come home and I’m being called a Foreigner, even worse White. I also live in Lagos. They feel justified in scamming you out if your money because they think every foreigner is RICH. The cost if living here is beyond affordable but getting scammed practically everywhere you go gets so frustrating. Nigeria hard O! If I were to give anyone advice looking to come to Africa, skip Nigeria for now. The government is corrupt, and it has seeped into a good majority of the people. 😢. I’m looking at Tanzania or Egypt, maybe Ethiopia.
This was a great discussion. Much success to you TJ in your African journey. You have a pure heart in that you have a vision combined with the drive to make a difference in Africa.
Birmingham, UK is a wonderful town. There are lots of Blacks that live there. I attended university there, and it has some of the nicest people (Black and White) on earth. It's a UK factory/industrial town. People can surprise you if you give them a chance.
I find Subi riveting and enjoyed listening to him, would definitely love to buy him a beer next time I am in Kampala. I love Uganda too and I am Nigerian. I love Lagos sha ooo but I understand where he is coming from.
As a Nigerian born and raised in SoCal, I can tell you firsthand that mixed race people aren’t treated much different from the rest especially in Nigeria. I do have a few relatives who are half Nigerian/half Anglo or half Lebanese & many choose not to embrace the culture which is their own choice. The Nigerian national basketball & soccer team has biracial players & they are seen “one of us”. -My grandparents or relatives never treated the few mixed people in my family any different from the rest of us. Many embrace their white side & often shunned by them. Seen it firsthand
Yes, I think its because at the end of the day everybody na person for im papa house. Although when I think back about it we also never engaged the "half-caste" kids about things from their POV. But dem catch name like everybody else onye banana, oga yellow, so definitely no different.
That in general is a problem in the BC as a whole, not just internationally. Many mixed BP only embrace one side, usually the non-African/black side due to seeking acceptance from not only society, but from their like minded peers on their non-African/black side.
@@lupavo1738 Lines of tensions in whatever society you reside matters - in Cali you've racial tensions - in Nigeria where they exist, they tend to be tribal & sectarian. I've known of White mums in 9ja who were great cooks of Nigerian food & mixed race kids who could speak pidgin with the best of them.
think about how many ADOS folks that are NOT from the south (I.E first gen second Gen non southerners) that DONT go back down south and see they cousins nem. I felt the same sentiment when ole boy was talking about not seeing his fam
Excellent Talk..And kudos to this youngman for sharing his story.. I learned a few things..Kenganda has become my go too Channel for real and thought provoking honest conversation concerning Africa and our Diaspora.. And thank you Y'all..🖤👍
The traditional religion in Nigeria is still very strong, Nigeria is not even as Westernized like other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, the brother doesn't know much about Nigeria, but he is right about somethings. It might be easier to make it in Eastern Africa than Nigeria because in Nigeria competition is really high because there are alot of smart people that any idea you have about a business someone already has done it. You have to really be creative to beat competitions
😂😂😂😂 laughable 😂😂😂 make it Nigeria is difficult beacuse of the environment let's be honest that environment ain't no conducive to thrive in anyway there is no competition or none of that.
@@billjames1216 😂😂 what environment are you talking about? Nigeria is more advanced in many fields than Uganda the country he is in now. But the competition in Uganda is not as high as in Nigeria. You can't compare Uganda with Nigeria my friend, in Tech, Sports, Entertainment, Agriculture, Economy, Business etc Nigeria is too advanced than Uganda
@@billjames1216 Have you been to Nigeria before trying to do business. I don't think so from your response also you also forgot about the population.😊
difficulties of Polygamy! Thats the dynamics of the old ways. Very difficult to manage in this new the polygamous family dynamics. This affects everyone.
Subi.... That was a great interview....as an Elderly man Educated in the UK and with Family in London...your talk is Refreshing... Now as a business man in Nairobi Kenya and Living on a Farm...We will Check you on Subi.... Welcome to Nairobi.. Thanks..
I can see that this brother is a great story teller. His life sounds like a Walter Mosley novel. His lady catching hate is no different than my experience here in Uganda though, they just dont do it in my face because I'm obviously Black and they don't know if I know the language. The side hate and jealousy from men here gives crazy spoiled little girl energy. Im happy to see a "non white" brother in Uganda knowing and confident about who he is and not expecting Africans to kiss his A$$. I look forward to supporting SUBI...and Agoba is BACK! and wearing socks! smooth, melodic, and intelligent as always, even in an Easy-e costume✊🏾
You don't want to pay dowry but stil with an ugandan woman? Chapeau! I don't know in Uganda, in my country Congo, men usually will talk to the same when women are with white men. Never with mixed men because we have several of mixed people because of colonization and never with other black men. It comes from the fact that it is true, most white that come to Africa is to play around with women and in my country they usually are with ladies of the nights. That's why being with a white men u pass for a non serious woman. Mixed people are part of us in Congo
@@africaine4889 this guy is a confused person, he is finding life Tough in Africa and always looking for people to blame for his actions. Black Americans and White men are mostly the same, both look for black women to use, in addition some black Americans are very self entitled that they want the red carpet to be rolled over for them to walk on it
Interesting conversion and many things packaged here but as usual it is very subjective and a lived experience for some, for me what caught my attention is this hypnotic like obsession with skin hue white/black, this is an American thing, growing up as far as I can recollect an average African or maybe I should say a Nigerian is not attached to those labels, you lead with your ethnicity/heritage. Oyinbo does not literally translate to that label called “white” but means someone of European descent or a foreigner. Even when you live abroad for a long time and you come back to your town you are sometimes referred to as “Oyinbo” and it has nothing to do with skin tone but simple that you are now behaving like a foreigner and losing touch with your culture. The color white in Yoruba is Funfun. Even when we refer to say a lighter complexion lady we say omo “pupa” or if very dark we say “dudu” but this has nothing to do with the concept of so called race based identity. It is only of recent, with all these American influence that these race labels seem to be taking hypnotic like foothold and people are now identifying with these race driven labels. Beats me why someone who knows his/her heritage in Africa will identify by a skin tone. Let’s get this, the very concept of race is a lie, you are either indigenous to the Americas, or you are from Europe or Asia or Africa or probably a mix of everything but one ancestral heritage would still be dominant. Wishing the guy success in his new ventures!
EVERY LAST MIXED PERSON THAT I KNOW OF HAS HAD THE “OPTION” TO BE YT, LIVE YT, and DEFINITELY THINK YT!!!!! If they don’t want to deal with black peoples, they can cling to the YT folks, and it gives YT folks a comfort barrier of sorts to HAVE A BLACK FRIEND……..BUT NOT A BLACK BLACK FRIEND
@@africaine4889mixed race born and raised in Africa and living in Africa tend to embrace their African sides. The ones in the diaspora tend to embrace their white sides. Infact, majority of mixed races in the diaspora, UK, Canada, US tend to marry whites. I'm saying this as an African living in Canada, plus I have direct personal experiences too.
@@berthekabwe871 I agree, I live in the UK and i see more mixed people with whytes, some of them only associate with their bl@ck side when it's beneficial for them.
one thing that got me worry is the fact that every body think and generalized everything about Nigeria to Lagos, the are a lot more better cities in Nigeria wey develop can with different vibes Abuja Nigeria capital is more develop and advance than Lagos, on this note Lagos has really put Nigeria on bad light.
I haven't even watched it, but I knew by the "traffic" in the title, he was talking about Lagos. There is no traffic in Abuja. I was born and raised in London and decided to move to Abuja l have no regrets.
@JONAHOGAR-gl5ub, thank you. I said it in another platform today when someone was saying how beautiful Porthacourt is. Nigeria has more than 50 cities with different vibes. The way most people from outside Nigeria and even someNigerians think that Lagos is Nigeria is so moronic.
If you study european culture before the advent of catholicism you'd be surprised. Also the portuguese were able to navigate west Africa just fine from the 15th to the 17th century. How many countries in Africa adopted christianity?
But the culture is still different. Europe is mostly Selcular Now. Also chirstistinty came from the middle east not Europe. I am Ethiopian orthodox tewahedo and are culture is still different from Europe.
You're right, but how would a half breed/mixed person be able to navigate the two or even choose one? This is why intermixing should be forbidden, for the sake of preservation of both cultures and to not create future generational confusion.
One of the most enjoyable ep. that i have seen didn't get any bias from this man and a true learning experience for me. Even though I am very critical of the podcast it still has become a better watch and has grown in its own right I am passionate to see it become better.
I haven't even watched the video yet, but this is one of the major reasons why I would never procreate with a non African descent women, I want full blooded black kids.
That is your choice. However, what about African women with Middle Eastern, Arabic ancestry . Like the Falasha tribe of Ethiopia, Igbo tribe of Nigeria, Tigrayns of Ethiopia? Or Africans like certain Ethiopian tribes who have Italian ancestry or European ancestry? Would these type of African mixed women be exempt?
@mariepearl-harbour2335 First of all, don't sit up here and act like an Igbo Nigerian is mixed, you fool. Those Ethiopians are clearly black looking, unlike a child from a black and white parent. Those Arabs are NOT AFRICAN either. They came there a long time ago. You're an Arab or a European, just wanting to include yourself in, you're not one of us.
@mariepearl-harbour2335 Igbo people are mixed ? You know NOTHING. Those Ethiopians are dark in color (even if they're lite skin). You're trying to act as if they came from a white and black parent just yesterday. Stop trying to include yourself. You must be an Arab, those people are not us, and they don't belong there.
some parts of your story feels so relatable to me as a person (born and raised in sweden ) whos mother is swedish an my father is Nigerian! i was not raised with him though. im planing to go there next year
He's right, African spirituality is seen as evil or worshipping the devil in Nigeria due to all the heavy adoption of Christianity & Islam but many still practice it the villages.
They is more business opportunity in Nigeria if u have a capital than anywhere in Africa because of the population that self acclaimed Nigeria guy never like Nigeria and never care to relate with people over there to get information how things work just because of his my mind...and Everything about this show is to talk down on Nigeria but una no reach we move
Come to the Caribbean. Specifically trinidad 🇹🇹.. where ethnic mixing is the community Afro Caribbean + West Indian Syrian + West Indian Asian + West Indian Asian + afro Caribbean The mix is endless and as a result tolerance is high ❤❤❤❤
You mean “East Indian”. West Indian is everyone who lives in the “West Indies” Jamaicans , Hatians, Bajins etc. are all West Indian. It’s a region and different from being Indian race. Blame Columbus for the confusion as he created the term since he thought he landed in India when arriving in carribean. It has nothing to do with people who are of the Indian race who we usually refer to as “East Indian”.
Another great video. I love hearing the stories of individuals from around the black world. It's rarely a fairytale, but it's familiar in some sort of way, and that makes it hopeful. Through our stories, we find common ground. From common ground, we find community.
Oga in Yoruba means 'the boss, so Oga Yellow can be translated to "The Yellow Boss" . It's not a derogatory word, it's a word to identify that we acknowledge your difference in skin colour, even in a family a child with a different colour from the rest of the family will be given a name to acknowledge and appreciate the child's uniqueness. But it will not be to stigmatized a child or to reject a woman of colour in marriage. Well, you have right to your own opinion, but I can tell you, you might have misunderstood your family.
interesting to hear his perspective. I'm also a mixed Nigerian (Yoruba dad) and American (white mom). But I was born in the U.S. and we never visited Nigeria until I was 17. Now have spent 5 years living here
This shows that African tribes still have hated fir each other .. proves they will rather welcome a colonizer .. then a fellow African…. Because of different tribes ? Smh 🤦♂️ this is why it was so easy to colonize Africa let them doe the job fir thr colonizer
"You are more likely to be scammed in Nigeria" I wonder how he came to that conclusion? Was it from personal experience or from hearsay? He hasn't really been to Nigeria that much. His father failed to repare the relationship with his family in Nigeria. I don't care where he want's to live in Africa, but making such a statement about Nigeria was insensitive and stupid.
That's what Oshay likes to hear to then brag up his AA culture. Did you notice how he hates Akon? My dislike for is growing by episodes he does and mentions Nigeria.
His conclusion is probably a combination of both. There are only so many times you can see your father scammed by his own family before you draw the conclusion that scams are common. It is hard to repair relationships when you are constantly being used. In my opinion, a relationship of use and abuse isn't worth repairing. I trust most people as far as I can throw them, so I haven't had major problems. However, I personally know many Nigerians who are scammed by their very own family. I had a friend ask me to look after financial accounts while she was away because she couldn't trust multiple family members.
@@tifipaul5686 that's like coming from a family of alcoholics and assuming the rest of the world are alcoholics 🤔 There's no part of his grandfather's 100 wives that allow a parallel to the general society
Oshay's dick gets hard when someone makes disparaging comments about nigeria. They're all comparing nairobi and Kampala to lagos as if lagos was the capital of nigeria. Those cities aren't as advanced as Abuja. Nairobi is still a shit hole
Greetings All, @Subi, in Colombia, Brazil and other countries in The Americas like Cuba, Louisiana (USA), Haiti, Trinidad and many other countries where Afro Descendants live you will find the ancestral spiritual practices. These indigenous African Spiritual Traditions are called: Santeria, Vodou, Candomblé, Lucumi, Hoodoo, all Yoruba, Ewe and Fon based African spiritual beliefs ( I resist the word religion.) Subi should definitely write a memoir. It would be in the New York Times best seller’s list for weeks. Wishing you great success and love.
21:30 Oshay, did you notice the lesson from your guest father's story in regards to how he responded to r*cism? Now, that's they typical Nigerian outlook/response to r*cism which explains why we'd view r*cism different from the way the black community within the US might suppose we would, at least, from a North American lived experience. The key difference being both black communities have unique backgrounds and as a result view r*cism differently and both are correct.
@beebee_0136 big difference and a obvious one. There is only 1 black community and that is Foundational Black Americans. Africa is predominately 99% modern day africans who hate being labeled black or called black and have some odd obsession with saying nigga just like their backwards cousins their colonizers. In American Foundational Black Americans are about 20% of the population. So our experience with racism is completely different. Africans experience prejudice while we on the other hand experience racism and prejudice. We are not the same people, nor do we have the same history, nor the same struggles. Trash azz fake alliance is for the birds jack
In Nigeria we are in awe 😮 when you are in a relationship with a non-Nigerian be they black or otherwise. Our "in-laws" even gets pampered, more often than not. Nigerians are accomodating and welcoming like that.
My dear friend in England was derived from an interracial couple. She and the rest of her family decided they would veer more to the Black side of the family. The last few years they connected to the European side of the family and they found out an amazing story about their mother who was English and they have a relationship with their mother’s side of the family now. It’s important to know and connect all sides of the self especially as it relates to health reasons. As a fully Black British born person I have not experienced racism because I chose to not see color, my friend was my friend. I love what he said I’m very Black and very white and those two things can exist together”. Perfectly said. I just got invited to Colombia just yesterday I look forward to going now. I will buy a pair of the brothers shoes when I come to Uganda and I subscribed. We create our own reality..

Bringing a mixed kid into this world will always be harder than bringing in a kid that looks like 1 specific culture. My wife is mixed and I tell her and her sisters I would never want to deal with their inherent trauma of being mixed. Mixed kids pretend like they like it but we all know the out-of-place feeling they have growing up
It ain't nowhere as hard as people make it out to me. it depends on the age. i come from a household of 6 siblings . 5 brothers and one sister. dad is white , mom is Black. the only thing unusual is the fact that my dad was 19 when they had me and my mother 18. i was an only child for 6 years until the others were borne back to back. with 6 siblings . DRAAAAAMA ! under the same roof . There was never time to feel "out of place".
@@PHlophe I feel your situation 8d unique if you were raised in the west . The more common set up is African or black dad and white mom then eventual divorce where mixed kids get raised predominantly by their white mom. Those dynamics on top of being mixed causes the trauma in referring to
What a balanced man! Mixed race and comfortable in both worlds. Loves his white mom but desires black woman to marry. Loves his family-both sides. Still committed to uplifting his people. Interesting man.
Your guest is very right, there are more aggressive attitudes in the Nigerian community, even when two friends are having a one on one friendly conversation amongst themselves you would think they are arguing, but they just having a friendly chat. Having said that, I am a Nigerian, living in the UK, but I don't think I can stand their sort of energy. I have decided to relocate to Uganda when it's time to relocate back to Africa.
All of humanity is mixed, no human population has remained the or static. Were always changing. Every population on earth is the direct result of 3 to 5 distinct populations mixing genetically, culturally and linguistically. Long ago, mixed people simply followed the culture and nation they were born and that was it.
Really liked the commentary from this fella seems very sincere in what he said and all the best of luck to his business. I must concur wholeheartedly with what he said at the end he is correct all goes back to short term thinking of feed the stomach today. Dad sounds like a great fella knows how to handle people and the relationship his parents have is quite the true love story
My advice to anybody is before you settle in any African country or the world , travel it extensively to gauge the acceptance of the spirits , each and every country is unique, those countries spiirits might not agree with yours despite of the Modern DNA tests results because there was never one conducted on the African continent to test all those ethnicities to come to the conclusion, each country is uquie woth its spirits to either allow one to settle there or not.
I feel that this conversation never really used to happen 10-15 years ago, it only really started until you had tik-tok and other silly podcasting platforms that people started to voice their opinions and show how they are still suffering from a colonised mindset. Most people can’t even grasp the fact that there’s one human race and we all come from the same root. There’s no difference between any of us apart from epidermis and melanin content…that’s it. Look at the variation between people in the continent, heck, look at the hue difference between two ethnic tribes in the same country. We’re not all the same but we are still African, not a colour. We come in all different types of complexions ranging from black, blue, brown, light brown, beige, red and yellow. You’re talking pure eugenics if say, “oh to be black, you need to be this exact shade, and your nose and lip size needs to be exactly this big”. If this was the case, almost everyone of African descent living in the Caribbean, North America and South America, who will have some sort of European paternity, wouldn’t count as being “black”. STOP LISTENING TO OLD RACIST AND COLONIAL MYTHS SAID ABOUT US. pick up some Cheikh Anta Diop and start reading books instead of watching silly tik toks. We’re aiding whyt supremacist perspectives by even giving credence to these stupid divisive arguments. No wonder why it’s so easy for for the brighter hue to separate us from our true history. Other than that, this was a very good video and I’m sure we appreciate everyone on this podcast.
We all don't come from the same root. We are nothing like Caucasian, Indians, Asians etc. It's really about genetics blood line which is why they are pushing mixing heavy here in the states. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell "black people" Prokaryotic are single cell organisms we don't have a membrane, but some do have antigens due to mixing and med shots. Everyone else on this planet non-black is eukaryotic I advise you to know thy self in studying anatomy & cell biology whenever you get the chance Abundance much love.

@@alexxb7957 That's actually a real thing in the US. Many mixed have problems self identifying with one side and it creates problems for them later on with their own personal, self development.
