East of the Saints.
2
We are back with another African tether and this particular tether has said
3
that he has an issue with what I said to the last African tether.
4
I appreciate the unity among the tethers.
5
Fella, your camera screen has gone off all the sudden.
6
Hello, this tether playing games.
7
Yeah, your camera is off all the sudden.
8
It's been on the entire time.
9
Now it's off.
10
I'm not doing this on purpose.
11
Can you hear me?
12
Can you see me?
13
Yeah, we can hear you.
14
We can't see you.
15
And bizarrely, we were able to hear and see you just fine for the last 20 minutes before the live started.
16
I'm not doing this on purpose.
17
Okay, well, why don't you disconnect and try to reconnect?
18
Oh, I should just leave and just come back.
19
Do you have a computer?
20
Do you have a computer?
21
Imagine.
22
These tethers don't even have a computer, but they think that they can come on and have a meaningful conversation.
23
They don't even live in the modern era.
24
This is funny.
25
Tether, are you going to disconnect and reconnect?
26
Are you going to maybe try a computer instead of a cell phone?
27
Anyways, while this tether is figuring out how to use modern technology, let me explain a couple things to you all.
28
You see, let me first define what a tether is,
29
and if you all have any objections or amendments, please feel free.
30
But when the term African tether is used, that's not to refer to anyone who's an African.
31
Oh hey there Tether yes we can see you now.
32
What is that like?
33
You see when you call people Tethers and that yeah?
34
Before we get into
35
that yeah why don't you introduce yourself generally a proper introduction
36
would be my name is this I'm from this place this
37
is my educational background this is what I do for a living and then we'll engage the conversation.
38
Alright my name is Praise I'm 200% Nigerian.
39
I was born in Germany, grew up in the UK.
40
What do you for a living?
41
I sell things, lots of things.
42
What else?
43
Educational backgrounds, A-levels, went to university, I dropped out.
44
I felt like I was a little bit of a waste of time.
45
Um, what else?
46
I already said I'm 200% Nigerian.
47
I'm Igbo, if that, like, matters, I will.
48
Um, I think that's it.
49
Okay.
50
And I'm curious. When you...
51
Pardon?
52
I said I'm Christian, if that matters. That does matter.
53
I'm curious.
54
When you were watching the other African tether get obliterated, What made you think, you know what,
55
I think that I can match this man who's sophisticated, educated, experienced, articulate, and very, I think I can get him.
56
What made you, when you were sitting back watching, think like, I can do it.
57
Like, what about you and your experience made you think, I'm the one?
58
Because I've got a truth on my side.
59
And the education doesn't really match up to the truth.
60
Well, the truth is the truth.
61
You can use all the ad hominins you want.
62
You can make all the false equivalencies you want.
63
But if you've got the truth, then at the end of the day, you win any argument, really.
64
Fascinating.
65
So I don't believe in my own background or experience.
66
I just believe in the truth and how I see things.
67
So you don't have any qualification, no past experience that makes you think you can contend that in the lead.
68
What would you like would help me with this debate?
69
Do I have to study African studies to be able to debate with you?
70
I'll give you an example.
71
And it's just that to me it's just quite arrogant and we can still have the conversation.
72
I just think it's strangely arrogant.
73
So for example, if you said, hey, Marquette, you know, I took a degree in African studies
74
or I took a degree in political science
75
or I've traveled 32 African countries or fill in the blank with something of meaning.
76
I have a degree from Georgetown University or Oxford University, or I've been invited here or there, or I'm somebody of meaning and relevance.
77
Just an example that kind of for both of us benchmarks the fact
78
that you're a worthy competitor as opposed to just a random dumb tether.
79
I did say that I'm 200% Nigerian, right?
80
I think I said it like three times, right?
81
Well, you say you're 200% Nigerian.
82
You said you were born in Germany and raised in the United Kingdom.
83
Is that correct?
84
Yeah.
85
Yes.
86
So if you're 200% Nigerian, why didn't you stay in your country of origin?
87
Unfortunately, God had different plans for me, and I was born...
88
God did.
89
I see.
90
I mean, I don't know the truth.
91
There's a lot of noise in your background.
92
Are you in a jungle or something?
93
Is there a way to stop, like, your mic is maybe rubbing against something, or your internet is having trouble with all of the jungle...
94
I hear it.
95
I hear it.
96
And London is the jungle, so I don't really...
97
So technically, can you still hear it?
98
Can you still hear it?
99
We'll have to see when you're talking.
100
So you've blamed God for you fleeing your country.
101
Understood.
102
Understood.
103
If you would be kind enough to use logic, truth, facts, and evidence, we're not here to dabble in your superstitious beliefs, sir.
104
I said God decided the way I was born, right?
105
No, God did not decide where you were born, sir.
106
It's your parents.
107
They realized that you'd have better economic opportunities outside of the country that you're from.
108
They fled your country.
109
This is very common among you people.
110
But my parents met in Europe.
111
So if both of us...
112
Yes, and they both fled their homeland.
113
So let me ask you...
114
I don't find it to be funny.
115
Actually, I find it quite sad when people flee their homeland.
116
I have a lot of respect to the Nigerians who are still in Nigeria building the place up, such that it can be a respectable place as opposed to a hub for scamming and poverty.
117
So do you only respect people that got shipped to other countries through the slave trade?
118
You don't believe in migration? Can you hear me?
119
Migration is not something to believe in.
120
It's not a ghost or philosophy.
121
What I'm telling you is that if you're calling yourself 200% Nigerian, you should be in Nigeria.
122
I'm saying that you're a dishonest, deluded person and you don't acknowledge the truth.
123
You left your home, excuse me, your parents left your home country because it was a place of poverty, despair, and lack of opportunity.
124
If you could start off with that honesty, then we can move somewhere.
125
You start off with the nonsense of claiming that God did it, then we know that you're just an unrealistic, deluded person.
126
You went for economic opportunity your parents are economic migrants, that's it.
127
There's nothing else.
128
I mean, that is literally 90% of America, though.
129
Or 100% of America.
130
Wait, wait, wait.
131
You said you were going to come on with...
132
No, sir, you said you were going to come on with logic.
133
We're not talking about America, we're talking about your parents.
134
So don't start changing topics.
135
And have the decency to come on with a proper microphone.
136
Why is your sound like that?
137
You don't have a microphone?
138
I've got no idea.
139
I wish it was like that.
140
I'm using an iPhone, so...
141
It's better now you're using an iPhone from made in Nigeria.
142
That's the problem carry on No,
143
sir, it's not about see I'm just asking you to stay on topic just down topic Stay on topic,
144
please One, why do you have problem admitting that your parents are economic migrants?
145
Once you admit that, let's move on.
146
But we can't start lying.
147
Wait, wait, what did I lie about?
148
What's that?
149
What did I lie about?
150
You claim that your parents migrated because God.
151
No, your parents migrated because Nigeria is in disrepair and they wanted financial opportunity.
152
Listen, I didn't say that.
153
I said I was born in Europe
154
because of God I know you have once as your parents were economic migrants sir there's no yeah
155
but there's no yeah but your parents are economic migrants that's it
156
I say it's God because I wouldn't have been born if both my parents stayed in Nigeria because they met in Europe.
157
Oh, my dear boy.
158
You know, it's sad when you see this is how bad you African tethers are.
159
You hate what you are so much that you think it was God to have you born in a white man's country.
160
Imagine how much you hate yourself.
161
You think it would have been the devil if you were born in Nigeria?
162
Extraordinary.
163
I respect Africa more than you do, you tether.
164
I mean, cool.
165
So your problem is, I said I'm born in Europe because of God.
166
Cool.
167
My parents are economic migrants.
168
I'm not ashamed of them.
169
I'm not ashamed of them.
170
I didn't say you should be ashamed.
171
I said you should be honest.
172
No, I said the only thing I was talking about is, you said, why am I in Europe?
173
And I said, because God decided I was born in Europe.
174
You started lying.
175
And I'm saying, don't play God games here.
176
I'm not here to debate your slave religion.
177
Don't play God games.
178
Just come on here with logic
179
and reason people who are watching people who are watching here I got a mute you
180
while I'm talking because your mic is so trash people who are watching are Muslims They're Jews.
181
They're atheists.
182
They're Hindus.
183
They're Buddhists.
184
No one cares about your God, buddy So
185
if you'd be kind enough to try to use some intelligence
186
to justify your points instead of making yourself look like a religious fool
187
One thing about me I speak because I'm so Nigerian We speak in high public Please stop it.
188
We're very spiritual.
189
We can't take people like you seriously.
190
You're so Nigerian that you've never lived in Nigeria.
191
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
192
I'm sorry that my expression...
193
You're so Nigerian that you've never lived in Nigeria.
194
Give me a break.
195
Give me a break.
196
You're not Nigerian.
197
I don't live in Nigeria, so I'm not Nigerian.
198
How many years have you lived in Nigeria?
199
How many years have you lived in Nigeria?
200
How many years have you lived in Nigeria?
201
Zero.
202
Zero.
203
Okay.
204
Zero.
205
Now when you go fix that, come back to me and then say you're 200% Nigerian.
206
For now you just sound like a fool.
207
I mean my parents, my dad is 100% Nigerian.
208
Oh, please, please stop it.
209
This shows your level of ignorance.
210
This shows your level of ignorance.
211
Let me help you out.
212
Let me help you out, my dear boy.
213
You said your father's 100% Nigerian.
214
Jess, this shows how ignorant you are and this is why I have to teach you people.
215
Let me teach you silly African about your own history.
216
Nigeria is a nation state.
217
A nation state, the people who belong to it are citizens.
218
Your father is no longer a citizen.
219
He's outside of it and he's raised you in a foreign land that is not your own.
220
You see, you are referencing Nigeria which is the creation of the British.
221
And so the British created Nigeria.
222
It's a nation state.
223
You are not a part of that nation state.
224
You are not Nigerian.
225
At best, you could claim to be Yoruba or some other ethnic group or tribal group.
226
But Nigerian, you are not,
227
you fool, because Nigeria was a creation of the white man to fuse together the different African peoples within that territory.
228
You've never even lived in Nigeria, so you are not Nigerian.
229
All right, cool, cool, cool make you happy just to satisfy your ego um 200 west african does
230
that make sense like i'm talking about ethnicity i'm talking about
231
my blood i know i'm not a citizen west african is
232
not an ethnicity it shows you don't know the meaning of
233
the word ethnicity it's extraordinary to grow up in the land
234
where english was created yet you still don't understand english you grew up where english was created
235
and your english is bad and this is a pity
236
because most of nigerians i meet are reasonably intelligent you're not
237
one of them look at you covered in tattoos you've fallen
238
you've fallen in the west are those tribal tattoos from your tribe
239
or are those tattoos from the west in a style
240
that emulates the black american extraordinary i don't even understand what point that you're trying to make, honestly.
241
I think you're a little bit all over the place.
242
The point that I'm making is that you're a silly boy who knows not your culture.
243
You've grown up inside of a culture in which you are a foreigner
244
and your identity crisis causes you to try to cling on to a colonial identification of Nigeria.
245
You don't fit in Britain because you're not British, you don't fit in Nigeria because you've never been there.
246
Everything about your identity is a creation in your own mind.
247
So, according to you, what am I then?
248
I'm a Teva.
249
I'm not Nigerian.
250
I'm not British.
251
Your Teva.
252
That's right.
253
Your Teva.
254
What is wrong with your mic?
255
Maybe if you sit up, maybe if you sit up, your mic might work a little better.
256
Can we get this kid a phone?
257
Is there like a Nigerian support group we can get you a new phone?
258
Can you get one of your tech teams to fly to London and fix something?
259
Can we can we get you a phone?
260
A dollar a day, a dollar a day will help this African.
261
So I'm African, we're going, so we're getting somewhere.
262
A dollar a day will help this African.
263
So, you know those earrings you have, those fake diamond earrings that you have?
264
Do you know where you got that style from?
265
You know where you got that style from?
266
One second, one second, one second.
267
I'm really enjoying this conversation, really.
268
Thank you for making my day.
269
Should I refresh the page?
270
Maybe I can work that.
271
Can I do that?
272
Yeah, sure.
273
You can give it a try.
274
While he's doing that, while this tether is trying to get his phone together, shout out to Anthony.
275
He writes, hey, I just bought the black code for my son.
276
You're a real one for that.
277
And absolutely all of the children should be raised on the black code.
278
In fact, I even have lessons in there for children directly and lessons that you need to teach your children.
279
So you have made a wise move.
280
Shout out to Starry Eye, writes, that iPhone is definitely made in Nigeria.
281
Yes, extraordinary how unprepared they are.
282
And it's always the Dunning-Kruger effect in full display.
283
Akash comes in by PayPal.
284
He writes, stay away from broke and ugly people.
285
His white dirty walls and his face is overweight.
286
Peace of the saints.
287
I'm trying to tell you.
288
I also acknowledge Lugo writes tuition.
289
This boy is struggling.
290
I see he tried to reconnect and let's see
291
if the audio is any better no maybe shout to Lugo
292
came in supporting by a Venmo acknowledge bajamo writes tuition can
293
you ask him is 100 plus 100 divided by two 100
294
can you hear me bro I think it's better now yeah I think
295
so someone's sensing a question for you i know it's going to trigger you
296
that i thank god but thank god the question
297
that they sent in is is 100 plus 100 divided by
298
two 100 it's 100 no it's 50 what are you talking about percentage it's 100.
299
It says 100 plus 100 and then that divided by two.
300
It's 100 obviously.
301
I thought you saw my percentage.
302
Obviously when I say I'm 200% Nigerian, as I said, because I'm Nigerian, we speak in hyperbole.
303
So I know I'm being hyperbolic.
304
When I say God is the reason I was born in Europe, I'm being hyperbolic.
305
So I'm sorry to offend you, but that's just how I speak.
306
Well, that's fine for when you're in your tribe, but you're not in your tribe.
307
You're in the public commons, and here we speak in a language that is accurate so that we might be understood.
308
I care nothing about your Nigerian, your claims of being Nigerian.
309
I care nothing about it, and neither does anyone else watching.
310
So if you want the best opportunity to make your arguments, you might be wise to just try to use the correct language.
311
And your phone is again making the same noise it was before.
312
I'm going to try to connect them all to my code.
313
No, thank you.
314
I think I'm good on this conversation.
315
You have a blessed day.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
