1957 High School Debate. Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana & South Africa. Prejudice pt 1

- Participant: Amelia Addae, Gold Coast (whereabouts unknown); Susan Rennie, South Africa (became a scholar and author, see "A Feminist Tarot" amzn.to/2VNI1U2 #ad; Mr. Mesfin Binega, Ethiopia (became a military figure); Mr. Boniface Offokaja, Nigeria (became a broadcaster); and Mrs. Waller. The program centers around Mrs. Waller's question, "Are Americans prejudiced in their opinions about Africa?" In replying, the young delegates said:
(Boniface)"They most certainly are. How could they be objective about African Negroes when they are so full of prejudice about American Negroes."
(Susan)"I come from South Africa, and I disagree with you completely. Americans are prejudiced in favor of native Africans but they are very prejudiced against white people in Africa."
(Amelia)"I am getting very confused. How can Americans be prejudiced both for AND against Africans at the same time?"
(Mesfin)"If I say anything I'll confuse you still more. As an Ethiopian I am prejudiced against both white people and Negroes."

Thanks for the update !
BONIFACE Offokaja passed on in 2019🙏 at the age of 78.
The Nigerian kid Boniface Offokaja rose to become one of the greatest broadcasters Nigeria ever produced. He married my best friend Ndidi ,a very pretty lady. A brilliant guy.
How is she now?
Big ups to him
I love him as a friend and a brother
Plz tell us more ma
Very well mannered, over informed and outspoken.
So bold to his opponents...kudoooos to him!
That Ethiopian is just plain thick. The Ghanaian has a colonized mind, South African is deluded and drunk with white privilege. The Nigerian is just brilliant, pure class.
No surprise though (about the Ethiopian guy), all of the scholarship at that time tried as hard as it could to separate Ethiopians, Berbers and indigenous Egyptians from the continent of Africa because they don’t have “black features” (referring to our nose and lips mainly). Also, it is possible that he is Falasha and believed that the ancient Hebrews were white but they were more than likely a mahogany complexion.
I am an Ethiopian and I have to say it was embarrassing to listen to the Ethiopian boy, but I kind of understand where he is coming from..he is a victim of a distorted religious doctrine as well as social stereotypes...If every Ethiopian was like him Ethiopia alongside Ghana and the likes would not have been the champions in being the founding members of Pan Africanism ..there is another clip of the same era where an Ethiopian girl made a strong pro African debate and I will try find the link for it..
Whites have earned their privilege
@@TH-qk6ez ....I am Eritrean & still today many Ethiopia believe they are not black or pure African but they consider themselves as habesha (ethnic group) in other words mix race. And many Ethiopians today believe they have Israeli blood, just like the Ethiopian boy said, nothing has changed same thing today. Even the western media considers & idolise Ethiopians as superior Africans because of their light skin complexion, plus many Ethiopians as well as Eritreans look down on other Africans or Africans-Americans. Even W Africans don't consider us E Africans as pure Africans but they call us half breeds. This is the colonization mindset & we must changed this in order to see change in Africa.
@@mylifemyjourney1
I agree..but we also need to admit that to the contrary there are colonized black Africans who still worship the white race and still not confident enough to even walk in to the same cafe with white person as I have noticed in Kenya and south Africa..so instead of pointing fingers at each other, we need to admit our weaknesses and correct it..using such outdated remarks for current domestic ethnic politics doesn't help either as some extremist Ethiopian ethnocentric "politicians" are doing..these kid's 20th century ignorance is nowhere near some of the ethnic barbarism we are witnessing in Ethiopia today in 21St century ‼
Ethiopian: "we are not negros or whites" "we are a lost tribe of Israel" "
16yr old from Nigeria: "we get the point you are lost"
🤣
Good one.😅
😆
😂😂
So many Africans from all over the continent are obsessed with this theory about being lost tribes and whatnot of Israel. I give it to the Ethiopians that they are closer to this claim than most. But whatever the case, I don't see why this association is such a big deal, other than brainwashing. What about the present? What present claim to greatness or whatever can they make? If the present isn't holding up, the past greatness that has to be dug for and connected with tenuous strings is suspect.
"I got the point that you are lost"what a missile from the Nigerian to the Ethiopian.
🤣
But that's the backbone of our history and is the oldest subsharan African history btw, that we came from a solomonian blood line and our kings and queens are the descendents of queen of Sheba and Solomon. ኢትዮጵያ
lost tribe of Israel and the chosen ones...
@@user-bu9vk1bl4p rubbish
That’s only considering the imperial family. But the land of Ethiopia has so many different ethnic groups , cultural differences and social classes.
The Nigerian kid is so brilliant he's being attacked by everybody on the table he's even to referred to as a burnt face African by the Ethiopian kid but yet he stays calm so well spoken a true intellect what a gentleman
Ethiopian kid is lost on the Israelite subject....As the WHITE girl...PURE White supremacist mentality
The irony is the word "Ethiopia" means the burned black face
We always are......East Africans have been conditioned bc of lighter skin lol smh saddens me
I actually thought His arguments were pretty weak and full of emotions.
@@leonardu6094 Pretty weak full of emotion??.... YOU must be referring to Yourself...don't forget to add delusional...

He was from that generation of Africans who were proud Africans & panafricans. It hasn’t been that way in a long time.
Rightly spoken, Nigeria and most african nations generally stood for the oppressed blacks in south africa during apartheid, there was a measure of unity and oneness back then
I really like the Nigerian Guy, well said
The Nigerian pride and intellect is as old as time… long live Africa , long live 🇳🇬
This is were soo many things started The Ghanaian girl look down on Nigerian why she was indirectly making friend with the South African the Ethiopian was claiming Israel it was only the Nigerian boy that stood his ground. This is why many of them sees Nigerians to be too aggressive in approach. Thank you Boniface for representing us very well.
Wisdom. I thought I was the only one who took credence in those points 🎉
They still do till today..ghanaians hate Nigerians, forget the jollof rice disguise
That’s Ghana and Ghanaians for you, the inferiority complex , cunning, hypocritically timid before whites, it’s endemic and genetic.
THE ghanaian girl and the ethiopian guy to me are the real heroes. They were able to answer the question or the topic that was asked. Prejudice but not racial discrimination.
@@johnd2757 says another ghanaian.. you people don’t do wrong 😂😅
The Ghanaian said she was prejudice against Nigerians thought we was inferior. The Ethiopian prejudice against other Africans thought we inferior. The white South African prejudice against black South African thought they were inferior. And the Nigerian came to defend is people with an open heart and no unnecessary hate. Authentic soul !
Fact 💯✊🏾
I'm Ethiopian, I apologize on behalf of the Ethiopian guy. The mind set we all Africans need to change. No african is inferior to other African!

No, 65 years later.
Yess
Sincerely the Nigerian does
As a Jamaican, thank God for the Nigerian.
There's bound to be a lot of Nigerian and/or Ghanaian in you
The interaction between Boniface Offokaja and Susan, the South African young lady, is just too hilarious! The outrage on her face compared to Boniface's cool demeanor just makes me laugh. "Facts, facts, facts from books, books, books...!" Apparently, Susan now lives in the USA. Mr. Boniface Offokaja became a broadcaster and Senior Broadcasting official in Nigeria. Ms. Addae from the Gold Coast (now Ghana) worked for Ghana's Social Welfare Department. Mesfin, the Ethiopian young man, became a Senior Military official in Ethiopia. Mr. Offokaja passed away! Sincere sympathy to his family and friends! He was a great man! ✝️
Thanks for the info
Im glad Susan left South Africa, she waa a disgrace
Thank you very much , at least they all became great 😊 and life smiled on them 🥺
The Nigerian boy was so handsome and intelligent. Notice how he didn’t have any prejudices towards the others . Very disappointed in Ghana and especially Ethiopia
💯💯💯
Now that's a black man! #sointelligent #sogoodlooking
As an African/Ethiopian Amara I am proud of the Nigerian boy! So brillant and ethical. Don't be disappointed by the Ethiopian boy because he was the product of that time not today. If you only see the supporters of Nigerian football back in Ethiopia today, you will know how deep the brotherwood is. 👏

As an African American, proud of the Nigerian young man.
I just came across this, the Nigerian of 16 years old then was legendary in his submission and interpretation of information. He made me proud as an African. The Ethiopian and Ghanaian representatives were spectators while Susan from South Africa was well-boxed to a tight corner with the incontrovertible facts from the irrepressible Boniface.
Whoever makes this available, you have done very well.

😭😭 the way this man so subtlety deconstructed and refuted her point and still managed to add a little pettiness for her ignorance 🤣 genius way to debate
@@chasegwop47 For real. This style is sorely missed. Rarely you never see this type of debating anymore. As an African, what he said isn't even subtle lol. That's just typical Africans telling it how it is. This dude reminded me of an uncle of mine.
Heat!! :D
THIS SENT ME!!!
After watching this debate, it's clear that we are going backwards in educating the youth of today! These kids are more mature than most adults and university graduates!
You said it all
Exactly
Be mindful that these kids are top in there classes. School is shity but I think people are becoming more intelligent
Yesss!
yeah
Saw this a few years ago and it made me understand why Nigeria is such an African powerhouse.
I am Ethiopian my self and I'm so disappointed in the little boy from Ethiopia his parents thought him all the wrong sides of a beautiful AFRICAN culture. The Nigerian boy was absolutely amazing.
Nah, he was honest I’m glad he was honest. There’s no shame in being honest.
@@sareeyemanusqaame8723 yes exactly, there are some who still think like this and don't think they're black.
@@solekhashuwa you’re right queen
Many don’t understand Ethiopia/Abyssinia owned slaves especially haile Selassie until recently and even to this day people aren’t considered equal. In Ethiopia slaves or former slaves are called “BARYA” which means and is exactly as same as the N word.
Same complex as the the Ghanaian girl
As an Ethiopian I feel like my country could have sent a better person to represent us than this mis-informed 15 year old
Nigeria and the whole of Africa should be proud of Boniface Offokaja
i think he came around at the end
Do sad but Ethiopian still don’t believe ya are African
@@sweetlove1eritrean279 that’s not true at all. We DO know we are Africans. We don’t need to believe because we already know we are Africans. The issue when it comes to our history, pretty much every textbooks and historical events are linked to Israel and the Middle East through the Red Sea. Be it due to the advent of Ethiopian Jews, Christianity or Islam, most of our history is associated with the Middle East to the east than with sub Sahara to the south.
There was none at the time. A lot of difference between Ethiopia vs “ethiopia” ! There are a lot of them thinking like that.....
Your country sent the best they could lay their hands on.
I'm a American of African descent and there're a large number of my fellow black compatriots who think in the same terms of the Ethiopian guest. A severe identity crisis.
No we DON"T. GTFO.... We were the ones who made Black "cool." And get excused of "forcing Blackness on everyone." Again GTFO...
@Mr_Bawon no you did not. When black America is mentioned what i see is thuggery
@chadtep7571 - That sickness seems to be spreading more broadly and rapidly today in America. They are just as confused & self-loathing as the Ethiopian kid.
“What has been imposed upon the people by law….and when they rise, they shall throw away the government “. And that’s exactly what happened in South Africa. Boniface is not only intelligent and articulate, man was a legend too🙌
It's still in a mess the whole of africa
is s.a. doing better since white men left?
@@Odin00 where do you live??
This young intelligent guy is one president Nigeria never had. What a level of intelligent and maturity at 16
Honestly 😩
I'm amazed myself at his eloquence and mastery of his facts! 💯
And sound in confidencn composure.....
Nigerians have a thing for electing the wrong leaders from amongst plenty good material..God doesn't create lack, however, hunans on the other hand create their own luck, be it good, or bad.
@Jayson Mahinay No one replied you. Stupid. Hahahaha
A Nigerian speak for all africans while other africans only speak for themselves. Nigerians are open minded and have global mentality.
why are you generalising all other africans in such a manner its really disgusting
Well said
As a Nigerian do you truly think so?? I am Nigerian and I know that it isn't, in fact Nigerians have prejudices against themselves.
@@olorunyomifola-oyetayo8017 it all started by the same ones that doctrine we African’s to see ourselves lesser to one another with the mentality of learning western ways then return home and belittle our fellow tribe because they were unfortunate to educate themselves. Yes to Oduduwa Nation!
Yet by doing this you are speaking for yourself and Nigerians.
The debate was nice, especially how the Nigerian defended the all of Africa.
I can beat my chest to say that we don't hate other African countries or get jealous about their achievement, we support them. We don't only fight for our country but we fight for the continent. It is inborn, we are born as an African to defend the voiceless in the society.
Our problem is bad leadership and once we have a right leader in Nigeria not a stooge of the Europeans, Africa will be powerful and our economy will start growing. 16/12/2022
I am a proud Nigerian just watching this! The Nigerian here has so represented us with eloquence, poise, confidence and above all knowledge of the subject matter. Even today, Nigerians seem to appear more confident than other Africans by our attitudes (which sometimes gets us into trouble)! Good or bad, we tend to prove ourselves anywhere we find ourselves. This young man at 18 has proved so much all these years ago. Too bad things are not the same anymore and not many 18 year olds can do what he did now.

Boni was definitely the star here, hands down, and it is testimony to the level of education in Nigeria at that time. The level of storytelling for instance from authors from the country always leaves me in awe. They are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of us when it comes to writing. Had we owned the momentum of such as Africans (build on what was working, being level of education in Nigeria for instance) imagine how far our democracies would be now.
The 1950s-70s young Nigerians are more well spoken, well read, and sophisticated than today young Nigerians. My old uncle who grew up around that time is so well read and spoken. Standard of education and indeed all aspects of Nigeria fell off from the 80s
@@hycent6695 Don't know who these Nigerians are meeting but the people I meet are still well spoken, and generally educated or skilled.

@@agneswhitediffee5003 This exact same comment you made to someone else who commented. I almost replied you then but just decided to allow it slide, but now I think I have your time. You're nothing but a common thief! And it is so painful that you hide under the cover of God's word and visions I carrying out your dirty scam. Because people are emotional towards religion you leverage on it to mislead them, and to make them yield more to your lies you tell more lies about seeing them in vision or something ministering to you. Some will become scared and others believing in the breakthrough you've promised they will get when they make a contribution will go ahead and contribute.
If you saw no vision or wasn't ministered to about them, may the force of nature and repercussion for your wickedness stop you from getting a single breakthrough. Your only remedy will be going back to apologize to each and every single one of those persons you've sent this message. If you think I'm lying, watch and see how the next 10 years of your life plays out. Never mislead people using God's name or message as a cover.

I kind of agree!
The Gold Coast girl is lovely & very well spoken. As a mother I would be very proud of her. She is kind, empathic & compassionate.
The South African girl is simply a product of her culture. I love her passion & bravery! To put it another way, I think her “nature” has been polluted by her “nurture”.
The Ethiopian boy is young (is he younger than the others?) & devoutly religious. His Islamic education gave him his “facts”. I think that this experience of travelling, being exposed to debate & new knowledge (in his formative years) will greatly influence the man he is to become...As with all of them!
Do you know anything about the rest of their lives? What became of them? Please post any links that you’re aware of! 😘

There is an abundance of them
Timeless debate. I can watch over and over again and not get tired of Boniface’s point. May God bless your soul.❤️
This is my third time watching it right now😅
I am a Ghanaian but i must confess this; the Nigerian guy really defended Africa.. I am so proud. i can see his daughter here @uche offokaja. You really had an amazing dad
Brilliant amazing youngman.
Really! I will love to meet his daughter💕💕
Honoured to her
Same. The Ghanaian sister really didn't represent that well but the Nigerian brother held it down
Watch from 17:00 The Ghanaian spoke something good too you know
How did a country that produced the likes of a Boniface Offokaja, end up with a Buhari! It is so heartbreaking
They chased the whites away and everybody became disoriented
The Muslim North took over with the aid of the British.
BIAFRA is there to take what is rightfully belongs to them. enough is enough !!!
It will still make no difference. Johnathan Goodluck didn’t fare better with Nigerians even though he was highly or well educated: The Nigerian orientation is warped and need to be addressed from the grassroots if any progress will be achieved. That young man would have even made a horrible leader with such an impeachable mind. Nigerians really have to look 👀 inside their souls to see if they want to unequivocally live with their diverse people.
Balkanization of Nigeria will out the best out of many OFOKAJAS.
Anything less than that is madness.
Honestly speaking, as a Nigerian I'm so proud of Boniface Ofokaja for speaking brilliantly, he's not just a Nigerian but a true African who speaks the mind of Africans in general.

For real even lead the Ethiopian kid down the right path.
I was born in 1992 and we had one telephone and one tap for the whole community. This guy from Nigeria understood very well what was and still happening in South Africa. We are still feeling the effects of Apartheid. The wealth is still on the hands of whites. We have stores like Spar which is from Netherlands and a whole lot of foreign companies holding the wealth and there is nothing for the natives. Till this day.

It's not only in S.A the UAE has banned 20+ African countries. Ask yourself why
@@bonginhlanhlanxumalo6011 South Africa is not the only African country that accomodate foreign nationals, I have been to Kenya and i can tell you that i was surprise by the numbers of foreign nationals in their country and they arent crying about it, I am not saying SA is perfect neither is any country i was just stating what i hear from south africans. UAE is an arab country and we know how arabs can be when it comes to Africans. We are clamoring for one africa and we still see africans as foreigner in african continent.
"You didn't say it was wrong you said it was ridiculous"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is instructive to note that in every debate, one must pay attention to identify the real opponents. Boniface ignored the Ghanaian, fired a few shots at the Ethiopian, and faced the South-African squarely. He wasn't going to let her get away with those false narratives and bold claims. What a brilliant mind!
Strategic!
I am watching this for fifth time, the Nigeria guy really charmed me. He is smart
You’re very observant! right on point...
Facts that's what I'm saying, her ignored the Ghanaian, even though she made a mistake putting down her own black people from the beginning, he just let her slide, refused to stress her out.
@@tell-it7649
True, probably realized it wouldn't be worth it to engage in any larger argument with her seeing as to how she was already going down a self destructive spiral.
Why do you think she was putting down other Ghanaians? Is there a lot of cultural conflict there?
As a Ghanaian, I'm proud of the Nigerian guy.
Gone are the days when people appears on platform based on merit.
Same, he was amazing
I am neither and definitely proud of him as well. This was good to see.

The Nigerian young man was preaching. As a Black South African man, it’s fascinating to listen to and watch how indoctrinated this white girl was. How schools taught white people that they arrived in South African before us the Bantu people, and that we found them here 100 years after the first European settlers. It gave me a great sense of pride to watch/listen to this young African and Nigerian pick apart at the South African’s argument. He is the African that we all want to be: intelligent, fierce, proud and of sound mind.
Yet, you people are attacking Nigerians and other Africans in your country. Isn't that sad?
People have been giving black South Africans insults for generations
Don’t listen to them
They’re obsessed with y’all
Killing people with sophisticated weapons doesn’t make you civilized
👌🙌
Absolutely. Indoctrination of peoples minds is truly dangerous. Wake up people and read and read, from all angles to come to a informative conclusion. Furthermore live with all sections of the society so that you don’t judge based subjective opinions.
Even if the Bantu did migrate after the Europeans ( which is completely false) there was still the Khoisan and other indigenous BLACK tribes that were there already.
We need more of these types of debates today. Nowadays there are too many segregated ideological, political and identity based echoe chambers online BUT no centerist platforms where they can convene to have a respectful meeting of minds.
This debate is so eye opening on how far, simultaneously how much ground we have to cover. Wow
The white SOUTH AFRICAN lady look so uncomfortable with her own history, that Nigeria Guy is a VIBE; he speaks truth with smiling face... I think I've learn something today!
they invited her in 4 discussions, look it up. each time a different nigerian took her to task and in the end she shut up ha ha ha. nigerians from that era didn't play
Am telling you, the talks and smile so you don’t get angrywith his words .. but he said the fact😂😂
She's busy trying to explain bullshit that doesn't even make sense to her.
I don't necessarily blame her. It's difficult to have all of that history and heritage hanging over your head.
SUSAN'S BODY LANGUAGE , SHE NEVER STOP MOVING ABOUT IN HER CHAIR.
I'm South African and proud the Nigerian brother, he was unshakeable. A true african
You see the position he held is the same we were all raised to hold about our African brothers. From primary school, we were taught to see the apartheid struggle as ours. Not only in South Africa, the same in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia and Angola. Nigeria was a member of the frontline states of southern Africa even though, we do not share borders with apartheid South Africa.
Yet south Africa has turned now to rise against Nigerians and to hate and despise them. I don't blame you guys if not for the corrupt crop of leaders Nigeria was unfortunate to have over the years who is south africa to speak when Nigeria is talking.
Yeah, shame about how black South Africans treat Nigerians and Zimbabweans in South Africa though.
Indoda le.
absolutely...proudly Nigerian
Nigeria never takes the last man standing! Welldone Boniface. May your soul continue to rest on!
I loved how it was natural healthy communication , this makes it supernatural when you compare it to the current talk shows or conferences ,the spirit there was shining with light and power , the generation vlak op was super healthy and loving , they breek afgode speak their healthy hearts n minds ,not affected by Brain washing media or the temptation of the exposure this is why such discussions outcomes reflected with great impact on everyone in the world .
''I want a house, I want a home, I want a position in the society!!!'' That's Nigerian for you
Reminds me of Burna Boy’s song “Ye”
but shouldn't all people want this. is this really too much to ask?

Agreed! He is the embodiment of our current corrupt African Leadership influences and controlled by white elites. He seems to be more interested in hearing hes own voice..
I really enjoyed this debate. They are wonderful. Very intelligent and carry their own argument.
Honestly it’s good to see such an honest conversation here. Even now most Americans don’t even know the difference between these countries. Wish we could see such a dialogue now
This is what happens when you give your children books instead of smartphones. These kids are well READ!!! The Nigerian is brilliant.🔥
He appears the most matured, his response to questions and the question he his asking, did raised the bar. I am not surprised when those that move motion for independence are young youth in their twenties.
He thinks. It matters not what you read if you will not think.
I sat here listening and for some reason, I couldn't help but wonder...have kids nowadays regressed? These young debaters are fantastic and well-read. Excellent point!
👍👍👍
@@axeldurman5224 Are you all on drugs? These kids are bloody stupid compared to teenagers I talk to today who are not only well-read but have a very mature and complex view of society. They are way more thoughtful and inclusive than when I was their age. The opinions of the settler afrikaner ,the Ghanian and the Ethiopian are misinformed at best and downright moronic at worst.
This Nigerian spoke like he is above 40 years old. So smart
hard to believe he was a High School student! Such presence of mind!!
Then imagine how 40 year old Nigerians used to be back then. Now all we have are old leaders behaving like 10 years old
I don't understand these comments. What does age have to do with this. If a person is well informed and educated then that is all there is to it. Can't we just respect that without comparing him to anyone?
@@samuelstephen6769 true lol
@@fredrickaboge4643 well he really was a kid, his daughter is in the comment section, and confirmed it. And looking at her the whole thing adds up
Oh my mother this male from Nigeria is so good. So smart, so calm and he articulates his point well. I`m not even 5 minutes into the video and I`m so impressed by him.

@@LuckyLucky-xp2sz Lucky, I was born in Takoradi, went to Fijai, T’di girl, West-Side Legacy. I live in Tennessee in the US, but trust me, our Nigerian family are more confident than us when it comes to public speaking even though we might be smarter. I give them that..!!
@@100zerubabel why are you generalising so much?
Right!!!
I am Cameroonian and I concur with you.
I am loving the rawness of this you debate
This just shows how keeping your composure in the midst of someone’s ignorance goes a long way .W Nigeria
In my entire lifetime, I've always come across Nigerians as intellectually gifted men and women.
Period
Wow. But that's true.
Nigerians are truly intelligent
God bless
Sorry, yes Nigeria do have intelligent men and women.
But.... We are all fallen beings,
And even people with intelligence make mistakes that hurt and discriminate others in their own community
If not for Boniface, the Nigerian, everyone else will have been taken by Susan's bravado - she's a talker. I like the fact that Boniface helped the Ethiopian conclude on his identity: lost. And the Ghanaian girl? I think she'd rather follow Susan home, no?
yes
loool. I think they would have dinner. I'm a Ghanaian, but she didn't really represent the independent mind of Ghanaians in that era.
I love Ghanaian girls attitude. We need more love and understanding, nothing wrong with that. She cleary is against the anti black policies of America and south Africa she spoke openly about that.
Perfect summary!😅👏❤
@@santiagocandela354if you say she is against anti black policy in America are Nigerians not blacks?
I like how they r upfront with their own prejudices. I love watching young people debate, it fascinates me how young people thought in different contexts throughout history.
Watching this for the first time in 2024 and quite impressed with the discourse. Remember all they had were books and limited articles, but did more.
Nowadays information is near perfect but the discourse among young people is about social media driven nonsense.
Hats off Mr Boni
This Nigerian guy schooled them all. He doesn’t even speak like a high school student at all at all😆😆💪💪
He sure did!
There's a lot of praise for this Boniface lad on here. He did speak well for someone his age, but all of the panel were eloquent. I don't think anything he said was particularly interesting. The South African girl was pretty good in what she said. The girl from the Gold Coast's experience of racism in the US was interesting. The Ethiopian boy made some good points about not just listening to one side of the argument. The black kid just said the South African was wrong about everything she said, without facts or experience of the country. But, he's a Black kid who speaks eloquently, so he must be right apparently
@Aldiss Derleth I agree with you mate
@Aldiss Derleth oh shut up!! He tackled ALL issues as it pertained to the era... Nothing you have stated could even suffice as a rebuttal.
@@carlmclaughlin5578 What are you really saying? everything Boniface said arent interesting? but you go-ahead to praise those that aren't his match in this debate, why can't you simply tell us that you are a white South African farmer? nobody is a kid here and you don't have the aptitude to manipulate anybody here
Alternative title : Nigerian guy destroying everyone for 25 minutes straight

Oh God what a brilliant mind,(Nigeria) l wish l can shake his hand. Thankyou wherever you are!
What a confused Ethiopian man,
Didn't destroy the South African
@@redwater4778 he didn't destroy d south african she was decimated she kept stuttering

It’s rather funny that since then up till now, Ghanaians have been looking down on Nigerians. But at everything Nigerians consistently far outperform and outclass Ghanaians
That Nigerian is on another level, the rest cannot match up
That's not true. These are all brilliant minds...
@Micky Adbo 😂😂😂😂
@Micky Adbo
Hahaha
Yo crazy
At 16 Bonny spoke his truth and schooled every one of them, even the moderator was schooled I believe so. The Ethiopian, he's utterly confused and "lost" and should never been on that debate. As for the Ghanaian, she practically made it so easy to notice how inferior she felt in her skin, and wanted the friendship and approval of a white person. Her comment about Nigerians was really demeaning. The white south African, nearly lost it, and getting all up in Bonny's space, after facts upon facts were dropped, I feel she was close crying. She was bashed intellectually. Nigeria has always defended and will always stand for Africa. Giant of Africa for a reason.
The Ethiopian is one of the found tribes of Israel, and an African. Research name meanings, continent is different from ethnicity. He is an African Ethiopian whose ancestry is Hebrew.
Ur completely wrong.
💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@peoplespeace please explain.
@@monicakeenon8943 1) I which way did the girl from Ghana express that she wanted the approval of her white friend in N.Y.? 2) The south african girls recount of the history of migration and land occupation in south africa is correct. I have expertice in this and u can easily find this information in scientific books. 3) Also calling the ethiopian lost was funny but not really serious reply. I saw the nigerian more as an intelligent demagogue than a serious debater.
Bonaface was definitely my horse in this race. My fighter in this battle. My star in this galaxy. Smart, Intelligent, Charming. Engaging. Memorable.
youre a little emotional. he wasnt entirely right. he didnt have the facts, he had the nationalism though.
What as been impose upon the people by law or what as been suppress when you get the people rarely suppress, when they rise, they shall throw away that same government. Almost 4 and half decade you made that remarkable statement that truly came to pass in South Africa. You are a rare gem, a genius and a legend. You have printed your foot print in the sand of time. You shall never be forgotten. Rest in perfect peace sir
*I hear this Nigerian student, Boniface, passed on in 2018, per his daughter. Well I'm sure his amazing heart and mind touched many, and is still reaching far and wide. Knowledge is power.* 🇳🇬 👏🏾

Notice how Susan tried belittling Boniface by always touching his shoulder and calling him "My Boy" every time she wanted to oppress his views? But Boniface wasn't born yesterday mshaan...I can only aspire to become even half the man he was...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My God! As a Jamaican, this video is like fire under my skin. Never knew this video existed. Thank you UA-cam. Love to see more... To my Nigerian brother, well lit and most informed. Thank you.
The amount of fire that has been called for, there is going to be a lot of water to quench the fire, so many people have called for. We should have learned to be careful of what we wish for? Only a calm Holy Head can carry us through this storm.
I’m a South African and it so sad to witness how this Nigerian young man stood for South Africa, while South Africa is very xenophobic to other African countries especially the likes of Nigeria.
South Africa isn't xenophobic, South Africans only want to be put first in our country.
@@thatgirlvee2 not admitting your faults, and having this selfish biased comment is the problem. Till date, Nigerians don't even hate South Africans as they do Nigerians. Nigerians are just dissapointed by their ungratefulness to a show of unconditional love.
Ye. And its sad that the white girl has been affected by the apartheid regime by trying to belittle black people as well. Racism is weird dawg. 🤦🏾♂️
@@thatgirlvee2 by killing nigerians and u think u are ok?
@@sirkermitthefirstoffrogeth9622 history shows how well the country has done after apartheid, the murder rate went down, the rand went up, and everyone was happy to live side by side with opposite races, whites make up a proportionate part of the positions of power in the country. International trade is better, and more beautiful and well kept buildings are have been springing up at a much higher rate than before. So there is no need to look at whether there was anything good about apartheid. Seriously. DON'T. IT CANNOT BE.
EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AND BETTER.
P.S. if you look up any of my facts, you are a racist and of course racists deserve to die.
For a 16 year old, the Nigerian’s intelligence and wit is simply outstanding 🏅
Everyone's so candid in sharing their prejudices. It's as if "prejudice" was a virtue bearing no negative connotations at the time.
