Several social media influencers made posts about this 16-year-old child, he's a child. He made a statement claiming he was English born and didn't even know what Zimbabwe looked like. The child didn't say anything wrong, however several social media wanna-be-influencers decided they were going to mock him.

Sadly, thousands of African adults made horribly insulting comments about the young man, some even tagging his Facebook account.

Everyone who reads what I've been writing and some of my earlier writing about how I was treated while living in Ghana. I was constantly bullied, this is finally the word that I've settled on it was clearly a case of bullying. 

From being called, fat mommy, big biggie, obolo and other insulting names, to which several told me it was a compliment and I should enjoy it because "Ghanaians love big fat obese women!" From a Ghanaian man, does this sound like a compliment?

As a matter of fact from people snapping photos and videos and laughing hysterically while calling you fat, is that polite?

When I wrote about the "Ghana's Culture of Bullying" on another platform, I found that when I shared this piece, several people agreed with what they read. A Ghanaian man wrote an entire book about Ghanaians bullying, in SHS (Senior High School). 

The bullying is so bad that they created a word for this bullying, also there was enough content for him to write a book. You can click here to read that and within the article you can find links to his book, which I haven't purchased yet but I will.

Here is a bit of information about, Trey Nyoni the 16-year-old who plays football (soccer) ;

Zimbabwean Teenage Footballer Nyoni Makes Liverpool FA Cup History

England — Born Zimbabwean player Trey Nyoni made history on Tuesday night when he became the youngest-ever Liverpool player in the FA Cup at 16 years and 243 days.

He also became Liverpool's third youngest-ever player in any competition after Jerome Sinclair (16 years and six days) and Elliot (16 years and 174 days).

Nyoni came on as a late substitute on his Liverpool debut as the Reds thumped Southampton 3-0 in an FA Cup fifth-round tie at Anfield on Wednesday night.

He replaced Harvey Elliot in the 78th minute when Liverpool were 2-0 up.

Teenager Jayden Danns, who is also one of the upcoming players at Liverpool, scored a brace, while another debutant Lewis Koumas (18) got the other one for Liverpool. They will play rivals Manchester United in the quarterfinal.

For Zimbabwean football enthusiasts, Nyoni's introduction marked a significant moment, showcasing the emergence of a highly rated midfielder poised for a bright future at Liverpool.

Nyoni has, however, not decided on which national team he will play for between England, where he was born, and Zimbabwe, where his father was born and raised.

This is where it gets odd, no one knows where the boys mother is from, however once again thousands of Africans bullying this child for saying he had never been to Zimbabwe and he doesn't know the country. They can only trace that his father is from Zimbabwe.

For millions of Black Americans, they have no country in Africa to claim, most have several countries in Africa in their DNA profile. As Africans from all over the African continent were mixed together and pro-created with one another, most being from West Africa.

However rape and sexual assaults of the enslaved Africans was common by white enslavers. If African educational systems taught about American Chattel Slavery. I've read several articles and heard several hateful and degrading comments made about Blacks born in the United States, from Africans.

Below here is a voice messages a Ghanaian living in the US made about Black Americans, he refuses to befriend any Black Americans and only has African friends.

He claims that all Black Americans have no culture or customs and are disrespectful to all their elders. Which isn't correct, also not all Africans are respectful to their elders.

A Ghanaian man recently killed his mother over 500GHS that's roughly $100 USD, his mother is dead because of $100 dollars! That's not respect, also Ghanaian men have been murdering Ghanaian women constantly in Ghana and the United States.

Greed, greed is the number one reason many people kill one another, so his words about Black Americans not having a culture of respect, doesn't fit for every single Black African either. 

This is what Pan-Africanist don't care about when pushing the narrative that all Black Americans should go back to Africa.

Here is an African man saying to a Black American man that he looks, just like an African and then tries to shame him because he's never visited an African country. As if every Black person should go to Africa, then imagine if you're of African DNA and ancestry and don't look just like them, as he says in the video.

I'm of mostly African DNA, over 70% and I'm not considered a "real Black person.," in the 2 African countries I've lived in. This bullying is insanity, period no matter what, this is just crazy and several thousands of Africans bully this boy and Black America!

Black Africans are tagging this young boy and posting insults under his Facebook posts, you can check for yourself by typing his name on a Facebook search.
