How can they come home to a sorry state of education? Your (our) Nigerian education is nothing to write home about. If you had said they should go somewhere else in Europe or Asian tiger nations (Like South Korea), or even in Canada, it would have been a welcomed advice.

It saddens me when I see Nigerians(Not just ordinary Nigerians) those capable of schooling abroad physically and emotionally settle for community colleges, it's so pathetic! A college like Navarro is one of the worst in the country, hardly better than a Unilag or a private institution in Nigeria. Finally, Texas of all places, they are as ignorant as a blind man watching television, apart from Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas, most places in Texas are just not worth it. Ebola or no Ebola make dem find better school!

Ebola Chants in Racist Attack on African Football Player in Pennsylvania

By Dominic Gover
October 16, 2014 16:53 BST

Football player Ibrahim Toumkara, 16, was tormented during a school match when rival players directed "Ebola" chants toward him.

The incident took place in the US state of Pennsylvania. The Nazareth School teenager was "left in tears" when players for Northampton district school shouted "Ebola" at him.

Toumkara's mother and father are in Guinea, which is one of the West African countries in the grips of the Ebola outbreak,

The spread of Ebola from West Africa has caused alarm, with with cases emerging in the United States amid mounting concerns at the slow response by the international community.

Being tormented with Ebola chants was enormously distressing, said police: "There were tears coming down his eyes. He was visibly shaken by this; that it got to that level on the field."

Outcry over the event led to the resignations of Northampton's coach and assistant
Speaking to local media, Toumkara said: "I'm really disappointed in the outcome — that things came down to what they did in the end."

CityNG:


Recourse for what?

A private entity made an astute decision in their best interest.

Listen, let's have some conscience and call a spade a spade. I read the original post and it clearly stated that the school never mentioned that they would not be accepting students from countries that are or were affected by ebola. So why did they take the student's application fee? They should have stated very clearly on their admission's page on their website that students from countries affected by ebola are strongly advised not to apply. That way, they save potential applicants from such countries the money and time spent applying to these colleges. I consider it theft and deception to take money for a service you would not render. If they are not accepting students from countries affected by ebola, then colleges must make that very clear on their website before rejecting applicants who come from countries that are or were affected by ebola.

Some of you are so blinded by hatred for Nigeria that if the slave trade were still to exist, Negros like you will deliberately make sure the white man maltreats his black slaves forever. Where is your conscience CityNG? Dead I guess. Anyways, keep doing you if it helps you sleep well at night. The world health organization (W.H.O) has today officially declared Nigeria Ebola free. So haters can go and choke on their hateraid. At the end of the day, whether you defend USA from today till tomorrow, white america will never like you except you're caucasian. They don't even like the black americans talk less of those blacks born to African immigrants.

comments from american and UK daily mail readers following Liberian President's pleas for help regarding the ebola crisis in her country:



eyLexi, Sherman Oaks, United States, 24 minutes ago

Save their citizens so that they can keep reproducing babies that live in the mud and starve.


Alphonse Dee, Surfside, United States, 36 minutes ago

What exactly is the Liberian government and the other two similarly afflicted doing about this problem and what has it done in the past 20 years to improve sanitation within its borders? Or, are those subjects "off-base" and not to be questioned?



Phil711, Luton, United Kingdom, 6 minutes ago

Nothing, they plan this, they know that we have to step in when it spreads and we have to use our resources and money to help them while they can sit back and do nothing, that simple really, they know what their doing and British, Americans, and French and being taken as mugs



meagain377, cheltenham, United Kingdom, 46 minutes ago

It is no loss.

retired, Thomasburg, 51 minutes ago

Exaggerate any crisis to get money, that is how these countries operate, yet more people die of Malaria than Ebola.


Catherine, Colorado USA, 54 minutes ago

I believe now with the unbecoming a global problem. much more research funding will be allocated to the treatment of Ebola. I'm sorry help is comings late, I admire the media and this dignified President.


Concerned, San Francisco, United States, 1 hour ago

Do people who are so backwards they fear help, really worth any trouble on our part We are talking about the direct defendants of the very ones who sold their own people into slavery for two hundred years. That's right folks, look it up. These backward places are just going to risk healthy American lives to save people too s$



Concerned, San Francisco, United States, 1 hour ago

We do have a stake in the Ebola crisis, but she and her country won't like the appropriate solution, as it would leave that country a smoldering mess.


AnAmericanAbroad, Somewhereintheworld, 10 minutes ago

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.



Thats about right, tuxtla, Mexico, 1 hour ago

So stop eating all that crap food that carries the virus.



BeeVeeZee, London, United Kingdom, 2 hours ago

Of Course cash would be preferrred I'm sure the President and his crew could do with some new cars and lavish houses


pete, sanfran, 2 hours ago

Considering what they have done to their country after decades of support, they really are not that much worse off anyway.

Cap28,

Long time. How are you?

Thanks for the article. You see, some of our people who live in the USA are busy running their mouth. They don't realize that when push comes to shove, even those who were born and raised in America to African parents will feel the heat. I see many of them come on Nairaland to cuss Nigerians out and I laugh. I was also born in the west and spent a greater part of my life there but I am not ignorant of the fact that when the chips are down, even if you were born and raised in the west, that would not matter to the whites as long as one has African parents or is black. You can see what this teenage football player is now going through despite being born and raised in USA. Whites don't even like their fellow citizens who are black from slavery descent much less those who are Africans or born to African parents. I feel for Africans currently living in USA. Whew, are they in for a bumpy ride. Most Americans are born bigots so I can imagine how they would use this ebola incidence as a license to discriminate. Thank God my family encouraged me to leave USA back then so that I can take part in NYSC.

So they should come home and study in Nigeria where a 4 year course takes 6 years to complete due to incessant strikes?

I've been closely monitoring this ebola pandemic and I knew that it would just be a matter of time before the backlash against west Africans (or any Africans for that matter) living in the west would start. Just the other day a Liberian man who works in the US fell sick with flu and was asked not to come into work by his supervisors as his co workers suspected that his cold might be Ebola:

Liberian man told to stay away from work for Ebola concern

Posted: Oct 18, 2014 3:26 AM GST


Updated: Oct 18, 2014 4:17 AM GST



Reported by Anthony Miller

WRENTHAM, Mass. (WHDH) - A Liberian man in Wrentham says he has been told not to come to work because of Ebola concerns.

Kevin Makor works at the Wrentham Developmental Center, he says he's recently come down with a common cold, but because of a chain of events his coworkers are concerned.

"Whenever the weather changes I always get a cold,” he said. “It's kind of hard right now."

Makor's cousin ONeal also works at the center, he recently missed a few weeks of work due to a car accident, but rumors spread that he went home to Africa.

Soon after Makor says he caught a cold, but on Wednesday went to work anyway.

The next day, he says he got a call from his supervisor.

"He said somebody made an anonymous call and told the campus police that Kevin has been in contact with someone who traveled to Africa lately and he's showing signs of Ebola,” he said.

Makor says neither he, nor anyone in his family has been to Liberia as of late.

He says his supervisor told him to stay home until he got a doctor's note clearing him of the deadly disease.

"I'm Liberian and if I go to any doctor right now and ask a question like that there would be concern,” he said.

The Wrentham Developmental Center is a facility that houses the developmentally disabled, Makor says understands taking precautions, but says this is too much.

"It makes you kind of feel isolated, it makes you feel like there's some form of discrimination."

The center has not commented on this situation

Let me tell you something. All4naija is this self-hating biracial guy (product of a one black one white parent) that sleeps on Nairaland constantly looking for every opportunity to tear Nigeria down. People like him are the reason why I think black folks should generally think twice before breeding with caucasians. The end result is usually not pretty. All4naija is proof of that. He is always typing trash and I suspect that he has a psychological and spiritual problem. It is not easy being a halfbreed, neither here nor there, neither fully accepted by the caucasian race nor the black race. You know what I mean? So try not to waste your precious time engaging him in a lengthy conversation because doing so could drain one's IQ.

You are right, but typically speaking mulattoes or half-breeds as you describe them tend to follow their white side more and will do anything to propagate hate and self-righteousness towards blacks or Africans. The best thing to do is to ignore the incompetento and let him dwell in his own artificial world.

Hopefully this will be a wake up to Nigerians and other West Africans that whites and Westerners truly don't like them and for them to stop living in this fantasy world. They care only for themselves, therefore, we should do anything we can in our power to work on ourselves in order to improve our own infrastructures and propagate a positive image of Nigeria instead of self-deprecation and people worshiping of America and Western lands.

"Africa wake up wake up, we say NOOO to Racism!!" Just like the Hausa singer Naziru M Ahmed says.

As Nigerians we should be very proud at the way in which we handled the Ebola outbreak, far more professionally than what America has done thus far. This should give you all an implication that we are a very capable people and as long as we safeguard this belief, I believe that we can go very far my Nigerian people.

Say what? Please do the world a favor and do NOT adopt nor have kids of your own. You are not emotionally and psychologically stable to raise children. The world has enough psychos that were raised by mentally sick people. We don't need you adding to that population. Be a good boy and keep taking your meds. As long as you don't skip your medication, I know you will be fine. Also, leave that dingy poorly lit basement apartment of yours once a while and take a walk in the park, meet new people and make new friends.
