What I mean is this, like Nigerians 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.240 would like pick sit apart, Like they see something and 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.760 they say exactly what it is with no filter none, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.279 But they don't but they'll say it with no filter 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.200 but with no profanity. They'll go, why would you how 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.520 could you be doing this? That's is foolish you have 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.680 to use your comman sense.

He had two He had a bad 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:27.400 He had two Mercedes Benzins because because Mercedes Benzins was 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.720 a big deal. And my father said, how could you 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.800 leave school to sell drugs? I see you might say, 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.360 these bends you have two of them? Why you could 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.679 you could hunt? Y'all?

So you you're trying 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.440 to always strive for academic excellence. You're trying to strive 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.200 for a better life. You want to be able to 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.640 have a better life here and then go back to 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.920 Nigeria and rock over there too. That's why Nigerians go 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.440 back and forth, back and forth a lot immigrants in general, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.400 well say, you know, I want to have a home 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.960 in Nigeria and also have a home he you know, 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.760 it's just striving for excellence, that's what it is. We're 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.080 a little arrogant. It's real ship.

If we can't found it, 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.640 what are we going to do to this country. The 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.160 Europeans are trying to call a nice Africa.

Yeah, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.920 the most segregated. They hit Dr King with a brick 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.800 in Chicago. They threw a brick at his ass because 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.199 he was doing something for the the sanitation workers and 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.920 they hit him with a brick and Dr King said, 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.880 that's the worst ship I've ever been through coming from Alabama. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.480 Chicago still segregated because but where I lived in Chicago 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.079 was called Uptown. That's you know, Corey was west Side, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.920 but he came to Uptown because we would go to 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.640 the Boys Club of America. Ship like that, but it 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.040 was the most immigrants because we It's like, I think 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.679 it has a Guinness Book of World Record for immigrants 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.680 over there.
