White Africans

Would a white African have priority, or any benefits over, say, a white American applying for a job in Nigeria?

I would say MAYBE and only because since the revolution in SA the previously unpopular whites have become valued for their skills and willingness to get stuck in and do the job required. Naturally there will be exceptions to this, but by and large that is the case.

Bear in mind also the fact that the Americans tend to be viewed in a less than favourable light in some parts of Africa (and the rest of the world) for various sins, both real and imagined, so all in all I would say the answer to your question is a qualified definite maybe.

As an aside to this, there is the school of thought that says that the white South Africans are not really Africans even if 5th generation and that they should all be chased into the sea or the nearest available mine shaft for destroying Africa like they have with colonialism.
