I Was Racially Abused in France – Singer, Oxlade
Posted by Thandiubani on Mon 14th Oct, 2024 - tori.ngOxlade, a graduate of History and International Relations, also claimed that the names Africa and Nigeria are both derogatory.
Nigerian musician, Ikuforiji Olaitan aka Oxlade has shared an experience how he suffered racial abuse in France.
He spoke when he appeared on a recent episode of ‘The Datebizz’ podcast.
The singer revealed that the experience inspired the title of his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa.’
“I decided to name my album ‘Oxlade From Africa’ because I was racially abused in France, precisely Monaco,” he recalled.
“That was what woke me up to be an African. It also made me realise that African stigma exists. In Africa, we see ourselves as normal human beings but outside Africa, they [foreigners] see us as monkeys, strange beings.”
Oxlade, a graduate of History and International Relations, also claimed that the names Africa and Nigeria are both derogatory.
