@ kobojunkie
quick one 4 u. can u pls point out anywhere in omotade's statement where he acussed BA or the british police of racism?

is there a particular reason why you decided to ask me this question?? @Angel101

The reason is obvious

Maybe to you it is but to me it is not cause I can not read your mind. If you followed the thread at all, you would know that question is puzzling.

Kobojunkie:

seeing as this thread is based on the letter written by mr omotade and throughout the thread u have suggested (somewhat condescendingly) that the matter should not be treated as a racist issue but rather as a customer service one. do u now see the reason for my question?

No, I do not. Considering that no where in this thread is there a claim that he actually claimed racism but it is implied over and over in the comments made by majority on this issue. With the colonial and the references to the man being black and BA somehow being White overLord. Why did you not instead direct your question to those who continue to claim it is racial and so agree with Omotade??

whatever mate. its obvoiuosly ur way or the high way!!

Oh, Now it is my way You are the one who asked me a straight question and I was wondering why you would even come in at this point of the debate to ask such a question.

come in at what point kobojunkie?i have been on the thread as long as u have not to mention the fact that i have been on another thread discussing this same issue. in any case, how does the point at which i came in even affect the question asked? if u have no answer to the question its ok to say so.

Again, have you gone through the thread You asked me of Omotade's race cry and I ask you why you decided to ask me that question. So far, waiting for you to help me with that answer before I proceed cause the last thing I want to do is going around this circle one more time with another person on here with issues of others not being accepting of his/her personal opinion.

y dont u read the thread

Read what??  Go back again and be sure the thread is based on his letter. The first post, which I complained about, maybe another take on the mans idea of what happened but are you sure the discussions that ensued are actually based on that letter??

Kobojunkie, You are grandstanding. Why don't you point to where race was implied before you brought it up. You seem to be the one obsessed with the White overlord relationship which is a theme that curiously runs throughout your posts in this forum. Again, where exactly are you from and why is your nationality too hideous for you to reveal?

Where did I bring it up and in reference to what. That is the question, you may need to answer for me here. Grandstanding is not a crime especially after posting my opinion so clearly for all to read and enjoy. I am wondering why the sudden focus on if the man claimed racism in this one letter or not when most all new paper posts that have included the very same letter have alluded to this being an issue of racism. We have tons of posts already on the same subject, so many threads pointing to racism as being the issue at hand here. Anyone who has spents half as much time actually researching this issue,would understand that the cry, as pointed out over and over on this topic has been racism and not customer service.  If you guys want to continue dragging this on unnecessarily, fine with me, I can play the game as well. 

Any boycotts yet?

Lazy people! This is the second month after your "maltreatment" excercise.  What are you guys waiting for? It has also been a year plus or so since your brother died in Spain for resisting deportation back to the hell hole called Nigeria. I say what are you guys waiting for?

Only to make noise. Lazy things!

Do you guys need a loan?

Give me a holla!

Do you think people who are speaking up against the issue have a racial view of the issue or a nationalistic view?

Pick one
(1) Either you are hoody trash/akata from the worst low down ghetto somewhere in Chicago and have enough free time on your hand because your mom's is on Welfare and partly subsidized by Tyrone the crack dealer

(2) You are a typical oyibo / red neck trashy bastard and your dad is also your uncle and your sister's brother and you hope to keep the spermdrops in your pathetic family by knocking up your sister when she turns 13.

(3) You are a pathetic failed immigrant who just discovered American roads are not paved in gold, your get rich quick schemes are landing your more jail hours than work hours and you are finding ways to express his failure.

Ofcourse a majority have a racial view and definitely a minority have a  nationalistic view. Infact, I am yet to meet one person or two with the nationalistic view. Many will try to deny the racial view but the continous mention of the British being overlords that need to be put in their place already gives you the inside on their view. Even majority of the reports already speak volumes

As a matter of fact, I will go on to say that those who are against this being handled as a Nigerian issue are more nationalistic than those who are going around claiming those who would prefer this be handled NIGERIAN AGBERO style, are. Reason is cause it is clear that there is no evidence for racism, or this happening to ONLY NIGERIANS as there are records of such on different airlines in the world. Plus, this issue is not a BA issue as BA was clearly following the UK police who also happen to be the one's who Omotade ought to have sued as He is also a British subject ( citizen) who approached British police on duty.

Ouch! All this cusses for only me?

He he he he he he he!

I say where is the "boycott"?

Marrer of fact, you are wrong on all counts.  A bonafide Nigerian who loves Nigeria dearly unlike you hypocrite.  Please go and plead with the "Mexicans" or "Hispanics" world wide to give you the basic 4-1-1 on how to stage-manage successful boycotts.  You have no economic, social or political power to even protest against the flies buzzing around your anus!
