What a rubbish comment. So if someone wanted to design a T-shirt propagating r@pe and child molestation/paedophilia, you will support it? Don't blind yourself by all that American 'free speech' rubbish. There is acceptable and unacceptable behavior especially from those who claim to know better than everyone else (ie Americans).

You are an utter and complete idíot. I pity the walls of your head, for the deafening echos they must constantly suffer.

Most times I begin to wonder if we have Foreign Minister and Ambassadors in Nigeria. Our diplomats seem to be clueless about their role.
when a man is not called to serve naturally he will be blinded and confused by events and people around him......Typical Nigerian leaders

I don't think this company should be taken seriously. It is obvious that the company is run by only ignoramuses and silly people. Well, ebola is out of Nigeria and in your neighbourhood byotches. Let's see how you like it.

Clap for yourself, brainiac. But as far as intellect goes, you're still living in the stone age. Don't promote rubbish and expect to be applauded. So what if Zazzle lets people design t-shirts? You didn't have to sound like it was OK what the person wrote, as if you support it. You're just an empty barrel that makes the most noise, goat head grin grin

[quote author=Idrismusty97 post=27265939]So? undecided If e pain u too much make your own T-shirt and mock them back. That is a private company and they didn't do anything wrong according to their law. You can't sue them. Just watch like television or mock them back! Besides that is done by an individual not the entire company itself. You can write whatever you want in a T-shirt and they will design it and send it to you. Go to www.Zazzle.com

Whats the next step? Lots of designers in 9ja,lets design i went to Texas and all i got is A Starbuck coffee and Ebola!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what, millions of t-shirts are made every day. There's no screening process.
Americans are technology geniuses and so I am surprised zazzle does not even have an automated screening process. Though whether this tee is really that insulting or just offensive humour is debatable.

I didn't need to re-read jack. Your brain is maggot-infested if you think you can make a comment and others can't take offence to it. You think you're smart; I bet I have more sense in my pinky toenail than you have in your entire family's gene pool.

As far as I'm concerned, it's just another Internet comment. I couldn't care less. The thing that pisses me off is when Nigerian blogs spread the dumbest stories without doing a simple Google search, and make Nigerians as a whole look ignorant.

Well we Africans do a lot of things that makes us look very ignorant. To be fair the Americans have their own fair share of ultra-ignoramuses ... for example having a monolithic view of Africa and in fact considering the continent as a mono-ethnic, mono-cultural nation.

Like I said, my beef is with the OP, the blogger, and the mod (probably the same person). Can we encourage and promote the excellent Nigerian bloggers who make us proud, and shame the ones who write anything that comes to their heads?

Fair point, we need more intelligent material on FP, unfortunately trash sells, brings more traffic, and pays the website owner's bills .... sigh.

The company that made the design is so full of shiit as well as psychologically sick it's name implies(mentalpoo). I hope the CEO gets the ebola virus as a souvenir for his company's stupidity.

It's all business strategy to make money out of the current Ebola hype aerating the entire atmosphere.

The truth is no other African country rings so much bell in the ears of Americans than 'Nigeria'. Nigeria is so popular in the US. Americans don't tend to know much about Africa but almost everyone has heard of 'Nigeria' before. 9 out of every 10 Americans have heard about Nigeria before(even if they don't know where it is located in the world) or 6 out of 10 have met a Nigerian in their life before. Despite the fact that they know that Nigeria's Ebola free and Liberia and Guinea are Ebola-laden, using 'Nigeria' makes more sense in the business sense as Americans are already familiar with the country name than using Liberia or Guinea which most Americans barely know about. The shirt was supposed to be humorous. If Liberia or Guinea had been used, American customers wouldn't get the humour in the joke and would first wonder what 'Liberia' was or 'where is that' and the humour intended by the company wouldn't be gotten by many who don't know that Liberia is a country that exists in Africa. If not for the fact that a Liberian man brought Ebola to US, many Americans would never have known that there exists a country named 'Liberia'. Still on still, now that they've now known, the country name still doesn't ring as much bell as 'Nigeria' does in America. The shirt makers are only taking advantage of the popularity of Nigeria in the US media to make sales out of the Ebola hype.

I'm not supporting the company's marketing strategy. In fact I felt offended when I stumbled across the topic. However, coming from a business background I'm only trying to analyze their business strategy behind the Ebola shirt they made.

If a white man could form racism and discriminate against the Black Americans and other ethnicities in the US, I could care less about their opinions and whatever they say or do to look down on us. The fact remains, Nigeria is the Giant of Africa, and we are gradually on our way to breaking through as one of the world best and developed nation.

All we need to achieve that greater height is good government, good governance and the fate of the Nigeria of tomorrow, lies on the shoulder of each and every one of us. So, it BEGINS WITH YOU!

Yes, YOU!
