Is blackie a term of endearment?
Calling someone 'oyibo' in Naija is not in any shape or form a denigration of the person.
The chanting of Oyibo is for you guys who feel that those born overseas can't be accepted by Naijarians.
The common thread here is that Naijarians love and appreciate people who play good football... she is a baller.

Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
But Kongi never said he has not used the term, so whats your point?
I don't think the crowd meant it as racist chants,
but if she acts like she is superior, an understanding that comes with the term in Nigeria, all of you will call her racist. I see Kongi and uncle jette's point.
Don't bother searching if i have used it, because i have.

Cultures evolve and norms change.
It was once the culture to kill twins.
I don't know that it is racist, but it is inappropriate. Just like it is inappropriate to refer to a mixed person as 'half caste'.
The equivalent contrasting term is 'blackie'...
Imagine that you were in a public space and the entire crowd was chanting 'blackie' at you. Would you consider it normal?

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
It is uncultured at best to single out someone by their skin color, I don't care if your intention in doing so is benign. I'm shocked at some of the people defending this practice.
Eastern European fans have used this absurd defense when called out for their racist chants at Black players.
"But, but we were doing it out of affection, we like him! He is a good player for us!" "He is Black is he not?"
Imagine Mario Balotelli playing for Italy and Italian fans hailing him with "Negro" with smiling faces. The same ones here defending this bush practice by Nigerian fans would be baying for blood.

Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
We all remember how disgusting it felt when Donald Trump in one of his rallies spotted a black guy and points at him and utters “ there is my black person” and the whole crowd started cheering and yelling “our black person”, “our black person” on and on, who here thinks that was appropriate never mind that he was widely condemned in the press and the act characterized as racist which it was even though the poor line black guy was at the time pumping his fists like a mascot. We are essentially treating Ashley like a mascot because she happens to be another color and it’s not about wether we have used it or not it’s about be aware of what is and how to make things bettertxj wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 3:36 pm Cultures evolve and norms change.

Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
Describing an individual by use of skin color is quite inappropriate in 2022, especially when
we consider the adverse effect of racism these days. For those who argue that it is an act of
endearment, what would same chant reflect if she had scored a winning goal for the opposition?
Chanting oyibo in 2022 indicates lack of information currency and social psychology upgrade.

more daft comments from all these old jobless market men .. smh .. The same Falcon lady was dancing and jubilating while being hailed by fans.. but trust losers and old men on CE crying like they are sassies.. another pathetic feel among progressive woke crowd...monkey see monkey do
we have to many daft people on this forum... my goodnessOyinbo is a Nigerian word used to refer to Caucasians. In Nigeria, it is generally used to refer to a person of European descent or people perceived to not be culturally African. The word is pronounced oyinbo in Yoruba language and oyibo in Igbo speaking areas. Both terms are valid in Pidgin English.

Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
Whats the meaning of Oyibo? What's the meaning of Caucasian? What do you call a black person in UK? African Briton? Please can someone clarify these.
Its nice when someone shoots ur murderer in the back, without asking to be paid.
Re: INAPPROPRIATE ABUJA FANS CHANTS
Additionally, what's the opposite of Caucasian?

Those are the key questions.
While true that our people have used oyibo as a term of endearment, have you
noticed how that has impacted the perception of our people as to equating everything
good to oyibo while self-denigrating? That aside, with racism currently being
condemned worldwide, how can anyone argue that a skin color identification chant
makes sense?

Try teasing a black American with the N word never mind that you are black as well. As long as I have live, worked and even served in their military they would not even take that from me or from a white American but would take it from their fellow African American. Point is, it is never a good thing for a non in-group or an out-group to device a name for a group of persons they are not part of.Damunk wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 12:58 pmExactly. ‘Oyibo’ does not have the same negative connotation as ‘Nigg@’imehjunior wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 12:01 pm Na wa o.
