So why did the article report that more cops showed up after the initial first ones? I thought you are only assigned two or three cops to monitor protest?

omonnakoda:
But he is in Dallas which I gather is fully of Shiddybears,Shinydoos,HeekayShookyous and Hoonkyshees

If we Yorubas are to take things serious like d ibos I swear so many usernames on these nairaland need to be revoked based on many stupefied utterances of the arrogant tribe we all know about throwing useless bragadoccio as though it's ordained in them.. Ibos be grateful that Yorubas are never tribalistic as you guys... Left to me am willing to sniff u guys outta dis site cos u constitute nothing but primitive nuisance and phlegm on a healthy path... Useless grasshoppers

tit:
any yeeboes that annoy me,
i will just direct am to Dr. Ariyo.
the man will by "mistake" cut out some vital parts.

Truckpusher:
This Doctor dun enter one chance.

softysparky:

I feel so sorry for him.

Truckpusher:
You don't feel sorry for people like that, let his treatment serve as a deterrent to others that wouldn't bat an eyelid in making such dangerous statement.

He lives in the US where the issue of race is a very sensitive thing, what was he thinking?


I hope that those that supports him in this forum would be alright if far right-wing extremists in Europe and America begins to call for the total extermination of colored people from their various societies?

Abeg make him carry him cross jare.

softysparky:

He must have learnt a lesson by now.

eaglechild:

People have to accept the consequences of their actions.

That is what keeps normalcy in the world.

If you commit a crime you get punished.

We all are shouting that the SA government did not do enough to curb xenophobia/genocide.

Well this is how it starts, from one verbose Oba to a talkative doctor, before you know it, it becomes norm.

That is why such actions must be vehemently discouraged less it turns into something monstrous.

Okay. Fair enough.

But in my neck of the woods, I know you don't kill an ant with a sledgehammer. Sure the ant will die. But the hammer would cause a crack on the rocky floor, sending you over the precipice if you were on a mountain.

When Israel started out it had the world's support. It was the Jewish settlement in the midst of hostile Arab neighbours. It had to defend itself. But as Israel deployed massive force killing thousands of Palestinians each time a handmade grenade (which didn't kill any Israeli) was thrown over their side of the border, public opinion shifted.

Yes Israel wanted to send a strong message by deploying their massive tanks and missiles. No Palestinian should dare throw grenades over their border.

Did it ever work?

No.

Rather, each cycle, some young Palestinian did the same thing and soon public opinion has shifted in their favour. Right now Israel's biggest ally America is about to join other European countries in recognising the State of Palestine.

Getting statehood is the first step in Palestine starting an army and in future, they could start getting military support from other countries to counter and match Israel's force in the event of any outbreak of hostilies.

Back to Dr Ariyo's case.

When the news broke public opinion was on the side of the Igbos. Even Yorubas took to twitter to condemn it just like in Oba Akiolu's case but if the issue is over flogged public opinion might well shift back in the favour of Ariyo especially when it looks like Igbos are on a vindictive pull him down syndrome.

Besides the man has claimed his account was hacked but let's even assume he actually said those things.

Did he make the xenophobic statement in a public fora, like a gathering of Yoruba youths asking them to go up in arms or in a private conversation like a lot of bigots who are the main champions of these cause have done on nairaland? What is his sphere of influence? Is he a Yoruba leader of some sort? How many people even knew about his existence talk more of his statement before someone latched on and blew it up?

What then is the aim of these protests? To serve as a deterrent for future hate speech offenders or just to destroy him? These are the things I don't understand because if the aim is to serve as a deterrent then I don't see it achieving that.

Rather I'm worried it might achieve the opposite. Increase the ethnic hostilities

Truckpusher:
Nope ,the lesson is not for him to learn, but for other would-be rants and this is the reason why he should pay the price now.

He's the scapegoat here

Kinfunfun22:


NOTHING is going to happen to the doctor. Igbos r just buncha jobless noisemakers. Let them go to school, work hard nd become successful like the man instead of exuding jealousy.

Nd if d modaf.uckers think their useless lives are not safe in his hands they have the option of visiting another hospital or ending up in the grave!

Lmfaooo one thing the medical industry in America cares about is reputation. The only ones immune are doctors that works in an abortion clinic. Ariyo is not one. The fact they even calling him a xenophobic, a nazi, etc doctor is going to catch him an ugly reputation. It's even written up there that many of his patients actually stopped to ask what was going on and joined the protest after hearing what he said. Also, watch the first video. There's only one car in the parking lot of that clinic...that's abnormal in most USA clinics.
They already hitting him where it'll hurt the most..his patients. His workplace will drop him if he continues to be a burden for them. Mind you, they already investigating him, now this protest loosing them patients just got included. If you are his boss will you still keep him considering similar to him exist thousands of foreign trained doctors looking for any type of medical job in the usa.

But you can Keep thinking the protest won't have an effect.

3. Don't THREATEN, advocate, or encourage violent acts against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group.

Remarkable:


The slightest or flimpsiest of things dey make oyibo people divorce, and I have a feeling that if this ish gets to that point where him face go dey flash for evening news... him wife and family go dey really embarrassed...

eaglechild:

Your analogy is Apples and oranges.

The obvious reason for the protest is to deter any such occurrence in the future.

I am not sure anyone would want such negative publicity so it will discourage anyone from any tribe making hate speeches.

Racist statements are some of the most career damaging anywhere in the developed world.
It is not peculiar to Nigeria.

vodkat:


U r a fool nothing can happen to him. As long as he did not endanger someone's life . Freedom of speech is the rule of law in america.


Also I hate 2 generalize but do certain Ibo even respect themselves talk less of others.

respect is reciprocal.

Of all d tribes in Nigeria (250) everybody has a problem with certain Ibo folks becoz of their disrespectful.nature
and ur there tying rubbish.

Ur suffering from illusion of importance

Chigold101:

Brother wise man... what made me a fool? lolzzz
freedom of speech rules America and Americans love life so much...
1-No american will like to have any business with someone that has XENOPHOBIC mind
2-No body retains someone that sends his/her clients away
3-No matter how much you hate the Igbos... you can only run more than the Igbos when you run mad. ..

Kinfunfun22:

Your papa na mumu.

oneeast:
Dr Ariyo never for one minute thought it will get to this damning point..

Chigold101:
so they should to Nigeria to protest an incident that happend in the United Of America... Do you see how your brain works?

Dr Ariyo or whatever he calls himself works & lives in the state. Those guys are carrying placards in front of his office...

His days in that hospital are numbered, if you dont know. He will be sacked & he might be deported back to Nigeria & he will also lose his licence...

Am not happy the way things are turning out. I just wish they let him be... But somehow, somebody must be used as a sign to teach others like you to respect NDI IGBO.
