"Yes, I was a young, insignificant person, a nobody, but in my intellectual engagement or intercourse with them I found out that they were not in control of the subject better than I was. I realized that, hey, Bennet, you may actually know this subject better than these people who are the powers that be" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-dr-bennet-omalu/ 1 Like |

Chinom:There's no such thing as a British accent either. Scottish, Welsh and Irish people all have different accents from English people. And even within those places, there are many different accents. You wouldn't confuse a Scouse accent with a Cockney one even though they are both in England. The British accent just means all the accents that encompass the United Kingdom just like if someone refers to a Nigerian accent they mean all the accents found in Nigeria which includes, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Ijaw, etc. |

And the white man said to the Nigerian doctor... "...Yes, some of them actually said that I'm attacking the American way of life. "How dare you, a foreigner like you from Nigeria? What is Nigeria known for, the eighth most corrupt country in the world? Who are you? Who do you think you are to come to tell us how to live our lives?" -Bennet Omalu, M.D., M.B.A., MPH, CPE, DABP-AP, CP, FP, NP |

I thought Chiwetalu Ejiofor , Nigerian born American actor, would have being a more convincing option. 2 Likes |

They should have got a Nigerian to act the part. Chinwetel Ejiofor comes to mind. Very affordable 3 bedroom, 2 bedroom and self-contain apartments in conducive environs in Warri is available for rent. Just 1 yr upfront payment (Instead of the 2 years most landlords collect).

torkaka: Wow this is great news for Nigerians and Igbos in particular! The movie goes a long way to show to the world the ingenuity and hardwork of Nigerians and Igbos wherever they are. The director of IT, Division of IT of my school is Nigerian, Uche by the name, and he calls the shot like a boss. Oyibos love to test his intelligence always but Uche is always 10 steps ahead of them! 1 Like |

What is interesting about that Americal football self? No skillful or aesthetic displays, just heavily built men racing like newly released bulls at the Pamplona bull fight festivals in Spain... I blame the crowds who watch them... Basket ball, Soccer, Gymnastics, I see sumtin to watch.. American football or Rubgy, Zilch! |

Ndi igbo, despised in Nigeria, appreciated abroad. Biafra need not be concrete to be impactful. It has outgrown the ramshackle that is Nigeria. |
