A White South African Told Me My Black South Africans Weren’t Like Me, I Asked What Do You Mean?-OBJ

In a video shared by Arise News, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo recalled an encounter with a white South African during a visit to the country, who described him as better than black South Africans, a comment that made Obasanjo question the reason behind the comparison.

Obasanjo said he asked the individual why he considered him superior to other black people, explaining that the response reflected an attitude in which black South Africans were viewed as inferior, particularly because of the historical treatment of black people during the apartheid era.

The former president stressed the importance of rejecting racial discrimination and attitudes that place one group above another, maintaining that black people should never be treated as inferior or regarded as slaves, regardless of where such beliefs or practices exist.

In Obasanjo’s words: “I was in South Africa, and a white South African told me that my black South Africans were not like me. I asked, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘You are better than them.’ I asked, ‘Why am I better?’ Because he sees them as slaves, and we must reject that everywhere.”
