[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=2) From your experience, what is the one lie Nigerians believe about white people like you? [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=8) They feel like white people are smarter than them. Huh. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=11) They treat white people way better than their own people. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=13) A scenario, this is what happened to me before. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=15) Um, in my ex-relationship with my ex-boyfriend, right? [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=18) We were going to Kilimanjaro in Port Harcourt, going to eat. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=21) And do you know the security guys standing by the eatery, opening the doors for you? Yes. [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=26) So the security guy was so excited that he saw a white lady. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=29) He was, "Ah, madam, boss, you're welcome." [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=31) He opened the door for me. And because he was even looking at me walking into the, um, the restaurant- Restaurant ... and he forgot about my ex. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=38) He just closed the door in front of him. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=40) And I saw it because I was, I was still looking back, looking for my, for my guy, and I was like, "Ugh, where is, where is he?" [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=45) I realized he's still outside. He closed the door. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=47) And, and he was just standing and looking like, "What did just happen?" [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=50) Me too, "What did just happen?" And this guy was so excited, "Oh, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo." [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=53) I'm like... I got, I got pissed off. I got angry. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=56) That, that day has actually changed a lot in me. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=60) I had to, I had to put some sense in his head at that point because I had to, like, educate him that this is wrong. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=65) You don't do that. You literally praised me. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=67) You don't even know me. What if this guy is the one saving my life at this point? [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=70) What if this guy is the rich one, actually? [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=72) What if he's the one that has money in his account and I'm the broke one? [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=75) He didn't know I was broke. I was hungry. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=76) I was looking for ways to find money. And you're treating me better than this person just because of my color. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=81) How does that make sense to you? In his own country. [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=84) In his own country, you'll be maltreating your own people. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=86) Look at the biggest businesses in Nigeria. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=88) The managers are always either Lebanese, either Indians, uh, Kenyans, Ghanaians. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=93) You look at the chefs in the, you know, uh, elite families, you know, private chefs are usually from other African countries. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=99) They're not Nigerians. When you ask yourself why, the, the same Nigerians who own the business, they keep saying, "I can't trust my people." Huh. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0HIwZjr36GSZ/en/white-woman-describes-preferential-treatment-in-nigeria?t=107) It's a big problem. It's a very big problem.
