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.

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
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 !
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.
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.
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..
@@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 ‼
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
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
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
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 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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
#prouddaughter. Thanks again for all the love you all are showing my dad. This video has kept his memory alive in the hearts of many!! Growing up, he would always tell us stories about this debate and his experiences. It’s bittersweet rewatching this in real time…. RIP daddy❤️. I know he would be happy knowing how much this has touched many lives. May this memory continue to keep his legacy and all that he stood for alive. 🙏🏾
Chai! Dera kedu? God bless you. This Adaorah in Atlanta. Remember me? We connected through your mom, Aunty Ndidi when you came over for schooling couple of years back. I am super proud of your dad, uncle Bonny. May his soul continue to Rest In Peace.
🤣🤣um here for it! Imagine how shocking it was for her to have a black person talk back to her, when she was used to the South African apartheid system.....My guy was unapologetic.
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! ✝️
😭😭 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.
@@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!
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.
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
The Nigerian brother’s intelligence, eloquence, and poise is so admirable. And to think that he had all that at the age of 16 is mind blowing. He was so superior to the other kids on that panel.
@@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! 😘
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
Boniface told Susan “I think you've read your history upside down”... I'm crying 😩😭😂😂💔 my guy was throwing shades and schooling the whole panel at the same time 🤝
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
'As in' his choice of words were too articulate, well prepared, well read. When education was education. Susan was blown out severally. Completely underestimated him. I can imagine her respect for him after this first episode.
*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.* 🇳🇬 👏🏾
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’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.
@@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.
@@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.
“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🙌
Having government without military power and economic power still live you in the hands of those who has it. They don't care about who is in government. Those with military power and economy control the government,
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?
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
@@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
I'm Indian and i am so impressed with Boniface. The guy had such elegance and intellect at such a young age. No matter how many times the white south African girl tried belittling him, he kept his composure and got his point across. I'd be lucky to be half the man he is
Aggression is what they expect from you, try and be unpredictable. That young man oozes self confidence and ease, only those who are easily ruffled get agitated at the slightest agitation. It’s a sign of immaturity. In the same way a toddler can’t compose themselves and are ruled by feelings.
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?
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.
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.
@@miracleboy2558 stop making this a racial war mister, if you must know, in terms of literary prowess the Yorubas has always been known to excel at it,so don't make it a racial war, and No, am not Yoruba.

I hope you are not an Asante. This Gold coast NOT Ghana. Asantes were NEVER part of the GOLD COAST. Get that right. With you fellowers now claiming Ghana as your tribal property. Smh

Gosh, Boniface OWNED the debate. This guy literally spoke like a Professor of history or something. He said he had Bipartisan views and he meant it. Kudos..
Unfortunately the very elegant and eloquent boy from Nigeria did get his facts wrong: None of South Africa’s current tribes (Zulus, Xhosas, Sothos etc. were in the Cape when the Dutch arrived in 1652. Only the indigenous inhabitants: the Khoi (Bushmen). Only with the arrival of the British and with them the expansion of the border of what today is known as South Africa did the “europeans” come into contact with South Africa’s black (in those days called Bantu) tribes. An extract from Wikipedia: The area fell out of regular contact with Europeans until 1652, when Jan van Riebeeck and other employees of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, or simply VOC) were sent to the Cape to establish a halfway station to provide fresh water, vegetables, and meat for passing ships travelling to and from Asia. Van Riebeeck's party of three vessels landed at the cape on 6 April 1652. The Cape was under Dutch rule from 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806.[10] The group quickly erected shelters and laid out vegetable gardens and orchards, and are preserved in the Company's Garden. Water from the Fresh River, which descended from Table Mountain, was channelled into canals to provide irrigation. The settlers bartered with the native Khoisan for their sheep and cattle. Forests in Hout Bay and the southern and eastern flanks of Table Mountain provided timber for ships and houses. At this point, the VOC had a monopoly on trade and prohibited any private trade. The Dutch gave their own names to the native inhabitants that they encountered, calling the pastoralists "Hottentots", those that lived on the coast and subsisted on shellfishing "Strandlopers", and those who were hunter-gatherers were named "Bushmen".
@@benhayward78 hmmm if you get your facts from Wikipedia then I'm very worried about the credibility of your statements. However, south Africa as we know it today wasn't just some empty virgin land waiting to be conquered. No, it was rather a part or even an identity of the nomadic African tribes cycling through the plains and Mountains of that area. Also I wonder why the Khoi tribes just magically ceded the land to the new Europeans? Maybe history isn't telling us all we need to know.
I am from central Africa but i will hold so much respect for Nigerians than any other country in Africa, the Nigerian young man had perfect presentation of his ideas with so much wisdom and making a strong stand for Africa not only his country
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
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.
It's not what all Ethiopians think but the reality is, if you ask majority of Ethiopians about them being Africa, they will deny it. There is deep down superior complexity in Ethiopian people but i don't know why. it could be out of ignorance or, pure feeling of superior to other Africans just because we have western type of facial feature, hair texture or are light skinned.
There is another interview like this one where the Ethiopian guy keep denying he is not African event talking about this tribe is more cutter than the other and staff. and sadly most of the privileged Ethiopians think that way in the past even some at present
I just couldn't believe he was attributing his black skin to being burned, with a straight face. What in the "anti-blackness" was going on? Boniface had the best response: "You are lost."
As i am an Ethiopian i am very ashamed of the Ethiopian that he didn't feel as black and searching inefficient ethnic lost of Isreal ...that funny and sad
I don't like the fact the white south African girl called our Nigerian brother Bonafide a "boy". In deep South in America the white man called grown men boys all the time on the plantations equivalent to calling him a nigger or a slave... Facts..
@@danfield6030 its a possibility though.White South Africans and Rhodesians called the indegenous males "boy" regardless of age..... It was a derogatory term that most people took for granted. Even in post colonial Zimbabwe for instance the term "mabhoyi" derived from the colonial reference "boy" is a derogatory term often used in a negative inference regarding black Zimbabweans.....so ingrained its unconsciously accepted though absolutely negative in origin
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
Boniface was so brilliant. His dialogue was based on facts read from books and not hearsays. He really carried out his research before mounting that stage!
70 years later... She was 100% correct, Nigerian guy 100% the arrogant fool that admitted he knew nothing about SA except that it's ruled by whites, so that's enough for him... LMAO no wonder colonisation took on so easily if a bit of arrogance is all that it takes... makes sense why China is having such an easy time of it, pludering you resources. Such a pathetic lot, you deserve it.
Boniface, speaking intelligently, without anger or bitterness. Susan, on other hand was getting agitated. When asked about the Zulu war, the girl was just waffling 😳. Boniface was confident without being cocky. I have always admired my Nigerian brothers and sisters. They're on another level. 👏👏👏
@@carlmclaughlin5578 nah, she trynna justify why it was okay for Europeans to come and take over their land because they weren’t “using it right” . Saying how they didn’t have a proper economy lol like what gives the white people the right to go around tell people how to live right and force upon em to live the “European” way? Just because a country outside of Europe doesn’t carry out the same economy or way of life doesn’t make it wrong, it makes it different. Some White people, esp in US and in Europe say “ohh they were living in huts before we arrived blah blah blah” so what? In old Europe, folks were fucking eachother siblings, and it was perfectly fine apparently. Susan’s AFRICAN history was taught by White British settlers, so obviously it’s gonna sound all lovely. “Oh the Europeans came over and lived amongst the natives in harmony bullshit”
Whereas the Ghanaian and Ethiopian representatives consider Nigerians inferior, Boniface pities them in their situation: thinks more of the emancipation of the African continent. May his soul Rest In Peace.
it was a time when some Ghanaians were starting to hate on some Nigerian immigrants, so I think she had perception of Nigeriand beig bad. But i was the jealosy of some Ghanaians that were ruining the name of Nigerians.

The Ghanaian girl was very naive, almost silly, like when she was trying so hard to befriend the south African girl and how she talked so bad about Nigerians living in her country, the Ethiopian was simply childish, only the Nigerian boy was, sharp/bright, well informed and was able to hold his own against the superiority complexed South African.
@Aldiss Derleth Nigeria does not own the monopoly of criminality, she do gets her fair share just like every other countries in the world. Ofcourse, taking into consideration the fact that, there is one Nigerian in every six or seven black Africans in the world, mind you, there are 54 countries in Africa. Hence, it's more or less just a question of numbers.
I feel so proud and privileged to have known Mr Boniface and his family. They literally lived next door to us for years. Not only were we family friends, we attended the same school as his kids. Such a super warm family. Had no idea he was such a big deal 😆. This means I interacted with a legend in my lifetime and did not know it. May his soul rest in peace.
Solum, did you grow up in GRA, Enugu? Forest close to be precise. I spent many holidays and weekends with them back in the early 80’s. Ada was my friend and Uncle Bonny and Aunty Ndidi were friends with my parents.

Boniface was just 16 and had a perfect command of the English language, a composure of a 40-year old professor and very eloquent. What went wrong with our educational system? Damn! How many 40-year old in Nigeria would have this impressive comportment? About time we took away the mobiles phones. Let us all go get our books!
Boniface is a genius if he's white he would have been one of the greatest Philosopher, the man said '' quite frankly l am tired of reading about SA, l have done so for 15 years and l dont want to waste one more year'' that means he's aware of SA problems from age 1 lol!. That's a genius mind and the use of words was of someone on different level of intelligent. some one some one 2 days ago

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!
THE NIGERIAN GUY IS NOT SUPPOSE TO APPRECIATE BY NIGERIANS ONLY, THE GUY STANDS FOR AFRICA NOT ONLY NIGERIA
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 100%!!
But our south african people MUST learn how to behave themselves and show APPRECIATION that whole of africa (ghana, ethiopia and NIGERIA) has always been concern about the freedom of yours! Since the very beginning!!
They should make changes in their ways and more economical freedom come to them

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 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!

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.

@@olumideakomolafe4746 those ones are clueless
My thoughts exactly. That man was a leader, not a high schooler!
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 ‼
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

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

Fact
@Tyshawn • 10 Years Ago • Lmaooo fr
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! ✝️

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

#Facts
He is very intelligent
Unfortunately the very elegant and eloquent boy from Nigeria did get his facts wrong: None of South Africa’s current tribes (Zulus, Xhosas, Sothos etc. were in the Cape when the Dutch arrived in 1652. Only the indigenous inhabitants: the Khoi (Bushmen). Only with the arrival of the British and with them the expansion of the border of what today is known as South Africa did the “europeans” come into contact with South Africa’s black (in those days called Bantu) tribes.
An extract from Wikipedia:
The area fell out of regular contact with Europeans until 1652, when Jan van Riebeeck and other employees of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, or simply VOC) were sent to the Cape to establish a halfway station to provide fresh water, vegetables, and meat for passing ships travelling to and from Asia. Van Riebeeck's party of three vessels landed at the cape on 6 April 1652. The Cape was under Dutch rule from 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806.[10] The group quickly erected shelters and laid out vegetable gardens and orchards, and are preserved in the Company's Garden. Water from the Fresh River, which descended from Table Mountain, was channelled into canals to provide irrigation. The settlers bartered with the native Khoisan for their sheep and cattle. Forests in Hout Bay and the southern and eastern flanks of Table Mountain provided timber for ships and houses. At this point, the VOC had a monopoly on trade and prohibited any private trade. The Dutch gave their own names to the native inhabitants that they encountered, calling the pastoralists "Hottentots", those that lived on the coast and subsisted on shellfishing "Strandlopers", and those who were hunter-gatherers were named "Bushmen".
@@benhayward78 hmmm if you get your facts from Wikipedia then I'm very worried about the credibility of your statements. However, south Africa as we know it today wasn't just some empty virgin land waiting to be conquered. No, it was rather a part or even an identity of the nomadic African tribes cycling through the plains and Mountains of that area. Also I wonder why the Khoi tribes just magically ceded the land to the new Europeans? Maybe history isn't telling us all we need to know.
I am from central Africa but i will hold so much respect for Nigerians than any other country in Africa, the Nigerian young man had perfect presentation of his ideas with so much wisdom and making a strong stand for Africa not only his country

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.

It's not what all Ethiopians think but the reality is, if you ask majority of Ethiopians about them being Africa, they will deny it. There is deep down superior complexity in Ethiopian people but i don't know why. it could be out of ignorance or, pure feeling of superior to other Africans just because we have western type of facial feature, hair texture or are light skinned.
All Ethiopian Amhara ppl thinks that way, I bet you he was silasies relative that kid over their but you right not all Ethiopians
There is another interview like this one where the Ethiopian guy keep denying he is not African event talking about this tribe is more cutter than the other and staff. and sadly most of the privileged Ethiopians think that way in the past even some at present

Just because a country outside of Europe doesn’t carry out the same economy or way of life doesn’t make it wrong, it makes it different.
