      Oladiti Abass I love that! Thank goodness for him and Tayo! My friend was not as lucky, she met, fell in love with and married a Yoruba man from Lagos. He soon brought his “sister and her so-called son” to visit. One day she went home at lunch time to check them drop off food. To her shock, she found her husband in bed with his so called sister. It turned out that the sister was actually his wife and the child was his son. He was using her to get South African citizenship documents. Just like here in America Nigerians call African Americans AKATA. I take exception to that label because African Americans sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears in slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation, KKK and after so that we can fly to America and benefit. I AM HAPY TO SEE US BE UNIFIED AS LONG AS THERE IS NO EXPLOITATION. I am South African and do business in Nigeria and have been to Nigeria MANY times. We are one people irrespective of country of birth.

    Thanks for the video. Africans helping Africans. I remembered when my friend and l travelled to Canada, Vancouver and we only know someone in Montreal. The second day. My friend and l were talking and a black guy and white girl were coming opposite us. The boy stopped and said you guys are Nigerians and am from Sierra Leone. He introduced us to the girl which was his wife and told his wife these are my brothers. They took us to a buffet, all you can eat. They paid for us. That was the first nice meal l eat in Canada. He gave us his number and told us if we need any assistance we should call him. Fortunate for me l left Canada for New York. God has blessed me in my place of job. I have helped a lot of Africans. I always tell them about the Sierra loaner guy.

      @Rance Sim I am Namibian. Namibia got its independence in 1990 and by then most Namibians were not yet educated. By the time I got to high school, we had a lot of teachers from other African countries mainly Nigerians. So, I was taught by Nigerian teachers in high school. One of my favourite novelists is the famous Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I have Nigerian friends. So, when people want to paint everyone with the same brush, I do not partake in such narratives because my experience has been very different and I believe every society has the good and the bad, and I prefer to focus on the good.

    What he meant with in Nigeria everybody disrespect you, is that almost any job you think you are good at, somebody else is as good as you are(massive competition) . Those that have already succeeded will keep on succeeding and you that is looking for opportunity to succeed it takes Gods grace for your success. These applies to all professions.

      Agree more genuine Nigerian business men in SA should tell their stories because what we see in real SA life as is more bad apple Nigerian men than good. Actually at university amongst each other and our parents warn us against mixing or engaging with the men. No one ever has anything bad to say about Nigerian women though as they are viewed differently, generally seen as good ppl...a Nigerian woman braids my friend’s hair. The men I’m genuinely scared of them from what I’ve seen them do in SA, seen in news and when I travel to campus. Scary stuff

    Thank you Tayo. I am inspired as always. I love South Africa as that’s where l got my degree. That whole 4 years l found South Africans to be warm friendly people. To this day my South African friends always ask when l am coming back, since my degree has more value in SA. But l ended up starting my own company and am trying to educate my people on the importance of my field (which is looked down upon as well... so l understood exactly what Mr Lukeman meant).
    The other thing is it’s very hard getting proper working permits in any country...so l always have to explain to my South African friends that l will only come as a taxpayer or just for weekend only. Even have my SARS number...that was easy. It’s the other paperwork that is just near impossible.
    But l am glad Mr Lukeman persisted and now he’s employing people and helping people archive and better themselves. We need more of this lifting each other up regardless of nation. The goal should be to work hard and build together.

He walked up to the white guy and said based on the sound he heard from the vehicle, he knew what was wrong with the car. The guy actually fixed the vehicle right there.
