Ogunseye’s black backpack -- containing a laptop computer and his Bible -- might have been stolen after he collapsed.

a man has died and that is all you can think of? Think back of your own childhood and how many times you vex and acted like a blockhead .

Zither: don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. If you should blame anybody then you should blame death.

I normally don't let my imagination run off with me, buh what if the said man had passed out at MM2?

The ambulance peeps may have had to rearrange his rigor mortis stiffened body before placing him on a stretcher!

It was just time to go, I think. Bro, you're quite right. Imagine having a heart attack and help doesn't get there on time! Two minutes lost is like years as the brain is starved of oxygen...

I had to read the post again for anger to ebb...Security system! same thing that would've (or may have) stopped our brother from being blown to bits by a suicide bomber, ended up doing him in!

So sad...

However, I'm not excusing the glitch, but any Nigerian blaming the system for this only need check where the other 4 fingers're pointing...

it's only when a Nigerian is involved that their card will not work.
based on what stats? Are you a frequent international flyer? How many times have you seen paramedics feigned a door refusing to open when they were told it is a nigerian. You think the white man is like the Evil and wicked blackman that goes looking for his tribes man only to help and what will they gain by having the man die?

Oga, you don't have to insult anybody...if you have ever travelled the easiest thing to find on you is your passpot. Do you need 30 seconds to know his nationality with his passpot on him?

just to be clear, do you think its cos he was Nigerian that response was delayed?

and
Justosaus: u guys can all say wateva u want to say, but i still suspect foulplay! Sometimes i tend to believe those guys are even as racist as the British, if not Germans. They might have known that he was African, prompting their usual i-don't-care attitude they usually display when it comes to aiding foreigners. So if security card's not working, a completely innocent man has to die for it? And there were no ambulances within d premises that they had to send for frm the street?

what gave rise to ur suspicion of foulplay here please? and careful there, Nigerians are SUSPECTED of being the most racist in the world. only thing be say, we no get power to show pple pepper like westerners.

Built2last:

I am not saying you need any form of identity to get assistance...I am simply saying that you don't need 20mins to figure out his identity.His passpot will be very handy...probably still holding it when he collapsed.Not just paramedics but airpot security will rush towards him as he fell.

in this report, was there any proof that airport security did not rush to him? cos somewhere in there, i read 'when the emts were called, it was reported he was unresponsive but breathing'. who reported that? dunno. even if they did rush to him, how would they have helped without the equipment of EMTS?

The fact he was nigerian hs nothing to do with the response he was given. now, difference btw a lot of Nigerians and the westerners, instead of finding out how to 'learn from events' and make sure this doesnt happen again (e.g, quickly rectifying the access card issue or making sure there's a standby emt within the building to hold forte till the main ones come in the event of an emergency), we instead blame it on tribe/race/luck to which there is no remedy.

Afam, you strongly have issues. Here is a quote from you, which succinctly addresses you appropriately:

The process of air travel is so stressful these days it can put one under unwanted duress. I hate airports,and in over 11 years I've travelled by air less than 5 times. Its just not for me.

For the benefit of those who don't know what 'oponu' is, it means stewpid. If that is what obeying the great commission will bring me, I accept! But candidly speaking, Islam must have tot u meekness and piety esp in d most heralded Ramadan. His yoke is light! Christ the king.
