why is 50% most of the deaths by shooting always involving Nigerians

In South Africa and other countries it is almost the same...This is sad to hear it always..

May God comfort the parents...& ...RIP to the late young lad!

Oga that is a lie, "STOP" you lived in US and UK as what nah? its like somebody living in Mafoluku/Shogunle saying that is the final standard of living for Nigeria, there are states in the US with low crime rates and depending on how much you earn every town has areas where violent crime is unheard of or you move to the suburbs, you obviously paraded around ghettos and low-income housing projects and expect some kind of normalcy

The problem with you is that living abroad is the highest achievement in life, especially young Nigerians. I have lived and worked in America and the UK for many years and I pissed up with the things I saw(reason I refused to take my family with me). I am not carried away by fantasies.

That was how a popular Nairalander, Bawomolo, was also shot dead in Chicago in December 2010.

WRONG. Parts of Brooklyn and Queens are as serene and beautiful as any part of the world. Brooklyn is HUGE.
BROWNSVILLE in Brooklyn is a legendary extremely dangerous ghetto.
Jamaica, Queens, on the other hand is actually quite ok - full of immigrants.
Queens generally is quite ok.

Do you or have you ever lived in Queens?

Gossipninja:
A 16-year-old boy playing basketball at a Brooklyn park was fatally shot in the head Friday, authorities said.
Timothy Oyebola lived in Jamaica, Queens and attended Brooklyn Ascend HS.

He was likely not the intended target, police said.
He was in the Chester Playground in Brownsville at 4 p.m. when he was gunned down.
“As they were playing, shots were fired into the park. The shots were fired quite a distance away — over 100 feet,” said NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Kemper.

The high-achieving academic teen and his sister came to the US from Lagos in 2013.
“My son was a calm, quiet, obedient child, ” grieving dad David Oyebola told The Post.
“He’s intelligent. He loved sports and basketball. Very ambitious. He’s a boy who had a brighter future. He was constantly going for what he wanted to do in life. He wanted to become a doctor or an engineer.”

Don't u read of NIGERIANS being killed and shot in SA all the time? Do u read such about US? What u read is Nigerians as high achievers or doing scams. Getting shot is the last thing on the average US Nigerian mind

Long and short you were never resident in the US and did not have the type of Visa to bring your family to the US or for you to continue staying based on your Visa type, you don't know how the school, housing, and local socio-political affairs are conducted, your response is picky and quite evasive, I have seen people who visit the US for "2 weeks" max acting as authority on US affairs, let it rest Nigeria has a long way to go and if you truly know as much as you claim you wouldn't make such naive statements.

In reality US is not one country. One person will tell u what he experienced as US, while another will tell u the exact opposite. Yet both are telling their truth.

In our own country you are treated with disdain if you are not tribe inclined as they are. When will all these evil stop in Nigeria so that our children will not be intimidated at home again?

He was killed in a dangerous ghetto called Brownsville. Most of Queens is beautiful and safe including most of Janaica, Queens.

Speaking of Chicago...
Here is Google:

Showing results for chicago murder rate


Chicago's homicide rate had surpassed that of Los Angeles by 2010 (16.02 per 100,000), and was more than twice that of New York City (7.0 per 100,000) in the same year.

Nigerians on US are not second rate citizens at all. Your "class" is determined by your wealth and profession not whether u r Nigerian

I'm only starting facts. There is a reason Nigeria are dying to go to US. They instinctively know it is safe, just as they know SA is xenophobic

Duh. The answer should be obvious

I admit I was a bit ignorant. I googled queens and it didn't seem to get so much bad PR. The only problem is the fact is that every of its reported crime seems dastardly hence its wide reportage. There are youtube videos showing horrible murders and crimes in certain neighbourhoods in queens. It also has a dangerous reputation for racism, ethnic bigotry and prostitution.

Ok, I apologize for the attack on you.

But you too, look at what you typed now. An innocent teenager who was playing in the park got hit accidentally by stray bullet and you just concluded that he was a gang member when ordinary RIP would have sufficed.
