Aloy.Emeka:That's how it is my brother. Also, her travel itinerary speak volumes. From Thailand to Netherlands and Laos, I need not to say more. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Kobojunkie: 10:58pm On May 01, 2009 |
@Aloy, the Article has her listed as a Briton. Yes, she was born a Nigerian and her father is in Nigeria but her relatives in Ireland, however you are told she is a brit. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by blacksta(m): 11:06pm On May 01, 2009 |
Just saw it on the Tv bbc news - What the hell was she doing in Laos - it is not like it is the tourist center of the world. |

Pittbaby:@Pittbaby, Didn't see them. But its quite sad sha. . . .the key question is- how did she get pregnant? I think we(Nairalanders) should petition the Fed Govt to demand an enquiry. . . No bloody asian should be firing our girls anyhow while they're in prison custody. Anyone agree with me? |

Heard and read the Laosan are hurriedly bringing the trial forward. Are those people seriously contemplating executing a woman with a child in her stomach? I’m, only conjecturing, but seems as if they’d like to kill her before her belly swells too much or she gives birth. Where will they aim thire guns? jesus! Sometimes I feel Asians live to try to remind white people how to deal with blacks. The thought of those dog consuming chinks tying a black woman to a post, or something, and shooting her, is so evocative of the dehumanisation of slaves, my spirit cries out with rage. I swear, If they shoot that woman, I will personally beat up or do worst, to any individual that I meet who is from Loas whether they know Kun-fu or not. here are a few emoticons to remind everyone how the bastards look:- |

Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Litmus: 8:02pm On May 02, 2009 |
suppose she gave birth and those people took the baby, tied it to a post and shot it dead would the world be outraged? Perhaps it is more acceptable to execute a baby tied to the womb rather than one tied to a post. On the other hand, maybe the muted response is because the baby is only half Nigerian while the other half is a yellow animal so no one much cares…. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by JJYOU: 8:19pm On May 02, 2009 |
why do we always take this stand that being nigerian rxcuse you from the law. why do crimes if you cant stand the purnishment? do we ever think of the users of these drugs people like this sell? of course not she is nigerian so she must have the right to use her BMW and BENZ. yesterday it was yetunde in ghana today this fool? the fool has the opportunity to get free education in london she wont use it because it is easier selling drugs and living big after i am nigerian who dare ask?. and the shameless mother have the mouth to talk. do you people believe any crime should be purnished at all? |

Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by systems: 10:33pm On May 02, 2009 |
She is just 20years na wah oh. Wait oh, how did she get pregnant while in prison? Could be her boy friend in Laos paid her conjugal visits. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by manmustwac(m): 10:49pm On May 02, 2009 |
Imagine if she had got away you'd never expect her to report the drugs to the authority and say that 1.5lb tons of heroine dosen't belong to her? |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Litmus: 1:57am On May 03, 2009 |
Call me naïve on the other hand don’t. Thing is, with the whole world to choose from why would she peddle drug in a country known for executing drug traffickers? What sort of money can anyone make selling drugs in Laos or lamo whatever they call it? In other words, has it been proven she carried drugs or is it simply the case that because we Nigerians like to criticise ourselves, those nations who organise their lives by, numbers, packages and stereotypes, find easy target in Nigerians. We’re like the new Jews, worst, the perfect victims, the holy grail of people to be prejudiced against that the outside world has been waiting for ever since political correctness deprived them of their dummy. ….and I don buy that pity the drug taker nonsense Americans like to push to the world. As far as I’m concerned, if a man/woman is stupid or weak enough to take drugs, in spite of all the information out there on the consequences, then the they are equally to blame for the proliferation of drugs. |

Christine Ohuruogu won Olympic 400m gold for Britain with a stunning surge down the home straight in Beijing.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/athletics/7569859.stm Kobojunkie I think the above is the point Aloy.Emeka was making. Why did BBC not remind us of Christine Ohurugo's origin? There is no point arguing for the sake of it |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by EloSela(f): 4:33am On May 03, 2009 |
mikeansy: Ohuruogu was born and brought up in East London [/b]and even when she missed several drug tests and was banned from competing her origin wasn't mentioned. Samantha Orobotor came to [b]England just 12 years ago, aged 8. Her origin is worth mentioning if you ask me. Here is another British article where her origin is not mentioned and she is referred to as a Briton but her birthplace isn't mentioned.
It is a shame that it escaped you that in spite of her birth place Samantha is still being referred to as 'a British woman' in the British press and that her case is being supported by the British government. That in itself speaks volumes because had she not left Nigeria aged 8, remained with her father who is still there and gotten caught up in this mess she would have been up to the Nigerian government to try and plead her case and we all know how that would have panned out. You're right. No point arguing for the sake of it. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by sbo(m): 9:27am On May 03, 2009 |
EloSela: You are right. In fact I heard on Sky news that the British Govt have provided her with Legal represenation and that she has been visited by the British High Commissioner thrice since she was imprisoned. But that is the British for you - Citizenship diplomacy. As far as they are concerned, whether she is guilt or not, the rule of law must be adhered to. And more importantly, human life is very important. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by congoshine(m): 11:32am On May 03, 2009 |
sbo: We need to fix power and police first. . . . . .one step at a time. This almost 50 year old woman called Nigeria will make it - by God's grace ! |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Jaybee2412(m): 5:38pm On May 03, 2009 |
To Litmus Your comments are too insensitive and naive; We are talking about a twenty year young lady who out of deception might have been lured into being a mule. We are also talking about the lives of two human beings potentially at stake! You should be more empathetic of your fellow human beings for whatever reasons for their plight! |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by smurf1(f): 5:58pm On May 03, 2009 |
eyah, and she's so cute, |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Bastage: 4:00pm On May 04, 2009 |
My bet is that she got pregnant in prison as a way to get out of the firing squad. The forced mule argument could be a believable one if she was smuggling drugs in, but she was smuggling them out. Quite simply, it looks like she was muling through the Netherlands, onto Bangkok and then picking up another assignment at Laos. That looks way more like a professional mule than someone being forced to carry. I doubt very much wether she will be executed but will probably get a life term. Even if she were to be executed, they would wait for the child to be born. On the other hand, it is possible that she was raped in jail and that the Laos authorities want to get the trial over before the accusations start coming out. If she wasn't raped, it says a lot about her character. By the way - Google her name and you will see that every news report states that she is British. Her family were granted asylum and she was given citizenship when her uncle was killed in Naija. Trying to read racism into this is crass. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by SeanT21(f): 6:39pm On May 04, 2009 |
I saw this on CNN and she was referred to as British. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Nobody: 9:25pm On May 04, 2009 |
EloSela:you are missing something ma'am. if she was the Nigeria, the chances of this mess happening would have been next to nothing. |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by EloSela(f): 9:43pm On May 04, 2009 |
I am not missing anything. Again if she had not become a British citizen and gotten caught up in this mess as a Nigerian then this very thread and the headlines that had made the world about this story would not exist. There are tons of Nigerians currently on death row in Asian prisons for drug offences. Ladies too, who like Samantha have been taken advantage of by the guards and are currently pregnant and still facing the death penalty.But sadly no one is taking up for them like they are Samantha. OMO IBO: |
Re: British-nigerian Lady To Be Shot In Laos For Drug Smuggling by Nobody: 9:36am On May 05, 2009 |
EloSela:how many Nigerians around the age of 20 would be caught up in similar mess? you cant deny the fact that if was in nigeria and prolly grew up in Nigeria the likelyhood of this thing happening is and would be minimal |
