I am not advocating that all muslims from the north should be assassinated because surely we would be even worse off, or anything that is too dramatic. I am simply calling for a plan of action, that should be broadcasted to all Nigerians. It's time to crack down on 419, bad police, armed robbers etc. They should not be an everyday life 'accessory'.

I am proudly Nigerian, before AND after this whole debaucle.

HIO4:

Don't pounce on the young lady.

None of that changes the fact that he is a Nigerian National, as reported.

And yes, we should definitely prepare to be profiled a great deal.

Chrisbenogor:

What does bad police, 419, armed robbers et al have to do with the botched bombing? This is you being short sighted, was this boy raised in Nigeria? did he get radicalized in Nigeria? Did he get the PETN from Nigeria? Did he get any tactical support in Nigeria?
Why are people so damn short sighted  

Chrisbenogor:

He is a Nigerian National SO WHAT!!!!
The July 7 bombers were UK nationals No?
The Us army doctor involved in shooting a few months ago was a national of where?
Richard ried was a national of which country?


Get of your high horse dude, aside from his skin color and parents there is nothing remotely Nigerian about him, more like a Nigerian-born Yemeni zombie

Rhea:

I guess this associate suicide bomber (on probation) just wanted to draw attention to himself and Nigeria.

He is obviously not a product of Nigeria. 419ers, internet scammers, kidnappers, armed robbers, miracle workers, pilferers, artful dodgers, the list continues. Suicide bombers aint one of them. Why, you may ask. Because THERE IS NOTHING IN IT FOR THE BOMBER. Nigerians are not known to engage in any business, task or assignment where THERE IS NOTHING IN IT FOR THEM.

Having said that, as an aftermath of this attempt, maybe Nigerians will start to behave themselves when they board international flights.

The era of huddling together along the aisle talking trash in the name of gisting and disturbing the peace of other passengers, the era of jumping up and down prior to landing, the era of colonising the lavatory just because you chop beans or overchop eba, the era of simply being rude and exhibiting an I-no-send attitude aboard flights is over. It is very unfair to put in blatant stereotypes like this in a debate that is pretty serious.

For the next passenger willing to try it out, they still haven't closed Guantanamo, not yet.

HIO4:

What high horse "dude"?  You are being overdramatic and emotional.

so what? The what is, it's a fact that plays into the stereotype the media will perpetuate.
the what is the negative impact it would have on Nigerians, at least in the short run.

unless there's some part of my previous post and this post that I misconstrued, I stand corrected.

You better gulp some ice water and calm down before you rupture a nerve, and recognize that a screwjob has contributed immensely to to giving fellow Nigerians a bad name.

Thank you!

Poster is worrying so much about how foreigners view of us will change, when our image has since been tainted by other actions of nigerian passport holders. Best for the country to start acting like a country and unite for development, stability and the greater good.

(Of course we need to have a president first) lol

That is why I don't buy the idea of "run commot for naija" Here is my country, here i will stay, and I promise my self not to regret it in whatever way.

You can imagine what one of the kids said at Who wants to be a millionaire. Frank asked that if she was to be given the 500k naira she won, what would she do with it? She replied "I will fly out of the country" Na wetin she dey hear she too talk so. Rubbish! as if once you travel out of Nigeria, you will not die again. Once you've died, Someone should answer the question please, i want to know. Question "would you still remember that you enjoyed on earth?" Some say it is better to be rich and die at 30 than to be poor and die at 70. Afterall, where are you going self? when memory etc will be washed off.
