tpia.:

well, for starters MMA is getting full body scanners.

NL sexuality section is in luck.

Or is it out of luck because my full body scan photo fit crash that place. Nobody go come there again- them go congregate somewhere else.

Hey guys look at the brighter side of this saga.
Nigerians will be under microscope all over the world and the result will be less 419 scams, less illegal immigrants etc. It will also mean less travel yonder for nigerians. Dubai will be a no go area for example. The boon here is it will affect us all including our theiving leadership and so thye have to spend their loot here.
Those hoping for a muslim/christian distinction in the eyes of americans are in for a shock. They dont care about your religion or crazy name. You are a nigerian and carry the green passport and thats it for them.
The north may be a hot bed for extreme religious views both muslim and christian but it is also the most tolerant and has been voted as the most business friendly. No wonder you find southerners all around. There are more southerners in the north than northerners in the south. They maintain businessess and enroll in schools all over.
Dowsnt this prove something?

ANALYSING THE ROLE OF UMAR FAROUK ABDULMUTALLAB
Ladies and Gents, Fellow Nigerians and the World at large; please permit me your time and let us re-examine the role of UMAR FAROUK ABDUL MUTALLAB failed mission to attempt/ bomb the Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines Flight carrying 279 passengers and 11 crew members.
I have taken a keen time/ interest to read all comments and news report on this very ugly story and issues. However, something seems to be missing here.
From news report, (1) the parents was quoted as to have before this day alerted the Nigerian security and U.S  embassy in Abuja about his disappearance and sudden change in character.
(2) The Interpol, Nigerian security and the US were supposed to look into the report of the parents and track his movement since his parents have already expressed their fear.
(3) This same guy bought his ticket in Ghana, flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam with explosives and was not dictated till he tries to activate his bomb in the US while the plane is landing.
(4) He was in the toilet for more than 3o minutes and when he came out, he wrapped himself with blanket; when the airhostess saw fire on him, and was asked he said he has a bomb.
(5) Some guys descended on him, including a film director, he was overpowered and the fire extinguished. Etc.
In my opinion,   I think this was a staged game and a setup for the US to come on Africa/ else where to continue their war on fake terrorism. Why did he not prepare his bomb materials and do the business while on the air en-route to US.
If he actually wanted to die, which I doubt considering the amount of time he spent in the toilet; he would have done it even from there. However, we thank God it did not happen.
Now have anyone read the book by NAOMI KLEIN ‘’THE SHOCK DOCTRINE’’? This is all about CAPITALISM.
Please don’t misunderstand me, I am not a Muslim nor do I support TERRORISM, but I would rather look at things in a more critical form with an inner mind to understand the play of things. The world is crazy and they want to play us like games.

Think again.

To some extent. I second you. There is something fishy in the whole scenario. It looks like a planned job.

death to all infidels, the north shall descend on the south with a blood bath of righteousness and holy mass murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually who gives a crap about what the US and other nations are going to do? Or should I say, what will they do that they haven't done before?
Is it the 150m + Nigerians who are prolly never going to leave the country till they die? Or the maybe 10m+ Nigerians abroad, who don't want to be humiliated? Who is really concerned about all this? If one Naija-born rich kid goes rogue, what is that to me?

I think the issue is overplayed, especially by Internet hacks, especially you guys on Nairaland. As far as I'm concerned, it should not have any kind of backlash on Nigeria or its people. That is, if the government, Dora and co, know how to manage such incidents. She raised a lot of righteous indignation about the Sony incident; she had better know how to manage this one.
After all the Al Quaeda deputy leader is an Egyptian. I don't see Egyptians in any kind of huff, or being stereotyped by the media because of that. Egypt is also a strong US ally. In fact I work with a Somalian dude, and I don't see him weeping about how his country is being rubbished in the media. He holds a UN refugee travel document, and a UAE residence permit.

In any case, if you have an American, British, or even Haitian passport, good for you. No need to 'thank God you have one'; it is moot. If you are looking for a visa, well, stuff happens. You just have to grin and bear it. They may just give you if your story is straightWe're in the same boat to some extent, i.e. I am a full-fledged Naija with a Naija passport, and I am not flustered in the least. Once they start denying people visas on Walter Carrington, na to give them gap. If I need a holiday, I go to Botswana or Ghana, abi?

I once read an article by Prof. Osato Giwa-Osagie, who most of you have probably heard of; he delivered the Babangidas' last baby, Halima, in Aso Rock. He said he visited the US during the '94 World Cup, and was treated with great courtesy by the immigration people; six months later, he visited again, and was submitted to a full body search, and his rectum was even checked for drug insertion. That was in '94, when there was no Al Quaeda noise. These guys blow hot and cold jare. Who cares what they think? They should allow people to rest jare.
