TonyBankz:
This is ethnic harassment.

We Nigerians need to understand earlier and faster that issues like this tribal segregations like this is one of the major problems of Nigeria social failure.

How would any one of you here would feel if you were treat like this young man.
I call for an end to tribal hate and segregations among we Nigerians.
Let's advocate for unity among us.
Lets join together an fight our greatest problem.
Corrupt political elites and corrupt political, social and economic system which has hinder Nigeria from accessing and enjoying its basic needs.

#revolutionnow

It is a great pity that individuals like you are very few as this thread is showing us. But please know that you do not call in vain.

I, buda, heed your call.

BigCowHornn:
Because of your mentality my advice to you is to get that expensive lawyer and go to court 🤣

You will not be the first or last whose case is stuck out for lack of merit.

Even if my case were struck out for lack of merit, I'd have already made my point.

Besides, we already agreed my lawyer would not be expensive, because, as you said, "any serious royal in this country thought that guy had a case they will take up his problem without fee because the cash out will be huge"!

So all I need do is find a serious lawyer who thinks I have a case.

garriAndsugar:
Nigerian factor is the cause of it.

We yell, corruption, then cry at the effects of corruption as if we don't expect it to cost us.

Just the other day, I dreamt of getting the underground train from Ibadan to Oshogbo, did my business there, and then got another underground train to Ilesha and then to Abuja and another one to Kano.

When I woke up I thought of the cost of drilling underground track 100 metres under my house and how much to charge for it. Just 10 kobo plus annual inflation on every ticket should provide me with a good enough livelihood for my tenth generation. I did wonder how much tickets would then be though.

Princedapace:
Who has sued Nigerian politicians for ethnic descrimination?
The leaders do it openly, so they should expect the worse

I would not be suing a politician. I'd be suing the bus company. And the fact that "leaders do it openly" does not mean I should docilely "expect the worse" and accept it being done to me!

franvincoop:
You don watch the video?
See your brother now, does he not look unkempt? Is he shaven? are his clothes clean? Are his feet clean?
Or do you also need eyeglass to see this too?
Also, he went to 2 different transport companies and the same thing happened, this means he is a body odor dispenser cuz both bus passengers no sabi your brother from Adam.
It can't be a coincidence.

So, you smelt him in the video?

Send me to the optician that made you see smelt. I want that sort of glasses too.

BigCowHornn:
Let me rephrase

Ethnic discrimination is your grieviance but...

1. Who in particular discriminated against you

The bus company.

BigCowHornn:
2. What would you have expected to the issue on ground

That I receive the service I paid for.

BigCowHornn:
You don't just Sue anyhow. One of the first things you answer in court is did you explore all avenues of who resolution

Yes I did. I asked the company to provide me with a service I paid for. They refused.

BigCowHornn:
Are you even swing the right person who offended you

Yes I would be "suing the right person who offended" me.

The bus company offended me by refusing to give me the service I paid for!

BigCowHornn:
If any serious royal in this country thought that guy had a case they will take up his problem without fee because the cash out will be huge

They don't need to be "royal". A smart lawyer will seek out this individual and sue for damages plus cost on his behalf.

BigCowHornn:
But I am telling you that that guy will not get 1 naira from anywhere except his transport money back

You can tell me whatever you want to tell me but I'd rather listen to a judge in a court of law, thank you very much.

lawani:
Is the USA a peer of Nigeria? Are wages in the USA same as in Nigeria?

Is Ethiopia a peer of Nigeria? Are wages and other costs the same as in Nigeria?

lampi:
the passengers did not the company

The company actually did because the passengers insist they do. And the passengers should not be dictating company policy.

franvincoop:
Shebi, the bandit posted this from his Facebook account?
You can contact him directly to join in the lawsuit.
Na that day you go read the bus 19 page company policy know say, brush and bathe, unkempt, exceptional circumstances dey there and you go knowsay......

Show me where you got your "brush and bathe, unkempt" from, and you might change my mind.

brain54:
It is like brazenly claiming to have bought a bottle of coke for five thousand naira when everybody knows it is only five hundred naira and you expect it to fly....

Next time i go to buy Nigerian Guiness for £5, I will argue with the seller that it's only ₦2000 in Lagos so I should be paying £1. In fact, when they charge me ₦5000 for one Guiness at Eko Hotel, I should insist I pay ₦2000!

Op, why compare with Ethiopia only, and not UK or USA too?

BigCowHornn:
What is he going to Sue the company for? Because they didn't Force other passengers to enter the bus with him or give him a special boss to take him alone to Calabar?

Did you not see the reason I already gave?

Read it again, slowly this time. I have faith you'd see.

Nastrademus:
This is wrong on all sides, not all fulanis are bandits
Then on a second thought the video he did, was supposed to be for his fellow fulanis to see how the world view them as terrorist so they can change their ways, but instead he's claiming victim

The video is rightly pointing out the ignorance of stupid people who generalise.

It's the same sort of ignorance that would make USA deny visas to all Nigerians because some Nigerians are scammers. And it would be very stupid of them to tell you to go and inform all Nigerians to change their ways as if you are the spokesperson or commander of all Nigerians!

samesta:
Is it the company's fault? When all other passengers refused to board the bus because of one person, should the company return all other passengers money and travel with him alone?

Yes, its the passengers fault, and the company should not return all other passengers money!

The company has provided the service and it is the passengers who are refusing to travel, so their loss if the company travel with him alone. The company can stop on the way and carry other passengers and make more money plus that of the passengers who paid for the one passenger to travel alone.

Daniel0047:
Not all fooolani are terr0rist but all terrorist are foooolani

I am pleased that those who generalise like you have are very few in the world. Or my clients would see Nigerian and ignorantly think 'scammer'.

FlipModeSquade:
He's insulting you for being ztupid.

I think he's stupid for insulting me.

FlipModeSquade:
Yes, stvpidity people should be sued for occupying Nairaland first pages.

Is that what pains you most? You poor.

Funkyswagzz:
If I insult you e go be like say I be bad person

Actually, if you insult me you'd be showing you lack manners.

Entering bus is not democracy. You pay your fare and travel or walk!! And you do not need to lie that he "never brush and bathe, looking unkempt", and the fact you lie belittles your position.

I hope he sues the company for discriminating against him, since passengers should not be determining the companies policy.

franvincoop:
Wetin the company do?
If the guy was rich enough to hire the full bus, im for don reach Calabar.
Na passengers say we are not traveling with this man, carry him and refund me and democracy is a game of numbers, majority wins the vote.
Who wan sacrifice im bottom line inside Tinubulation cuz of 1 person wey never brush and bathe, looking unkempt as if he just came out of the bush like bandits terrorists?

Eboue says he was never given ­guidance to manage his finances.

He also claims he was beset by a string of people who gave bad advice and lost him huge sums.

With a limited ­education, Eboue is paying the price for being unaware of his financial situation. His handful of visits to the bank were with Aurelie.

"He was never given" the education that he should have sought for himself, and is still blaming others for his own irresponsibility, is what I see!

Before God or anything at all, fear ignorance and stupidity!

I hope he sues the company for ethnic discrimination!

bemeruca:
If the UK can be aggressive about keeping out people for offensive opinions, then people are right to question why dangerous criminals are slipping through.

And we question this every day. Just that we are not so ignorant to assume "dangerous criminals" who are slipping through will apply for visas and write 'dangerous criminal' when asked for occupation, while we already know Kanye will disturb our peace when he applied for his visa.

If the "dangerous criminals" who are slipping through had asked for visa we'd have denied him like we did Kanye.

You ignore the "we didn't know anything about him", like we know about Kanye, and you lie with your "UK allowing a murderer to enter the UK", when he came in illegally, but you think I'll waste my time with you who can't understand what you've posted?

You funny ben.

bemeruca:
Budaatum thinks it's okay to block Kanye West from entering the UK because he said some anti-Semitic things he apologized for, but is okay with the UK allowing a murderer to enter the UK, give him a 4 star hotel, pay for his doctors and lawyers who then r8ped a woman.

brain54:
You think every business being done by Nigerians in s/a is petty business...?

No, I do not think anything of the sort. I am just responding to those who say Nigerian petty businesses in South Africa are being attacked

brain54:
Even if it hasn't gotten to the scale of the mtn's and the likes I'm sure they are Nigerian businesses done on a very large scale.

I agree but still checked, and found the following:

Dangote Cement: Operates in South Africa through Sephaku Cement (64% ownership). It manages a grinding plant in Delmas, Mpumalanga, and has plans to further increase production capacity by 2026.

Access Bank South Africa: Headquartered in Sandton, Johannesburg, it entered the market by acquiring Grobank in 2021. In late 2024, it expanded further by acquiring Bidvest Bank for approximately R2.8 billion.

Zenith Bank: Maintains a presence in South Africa, focusing on corporate and investment banking services as part of its broader African footprint.

IHS Towers: One of the largest independent telecom tower operators globally, it has a significant operational presence in South Africa following major infrastructure deals.

Flutterwave: A major Nigerian fintech "unicorn" that facilitates cross-border payments for businesses operating in South Africa.

Jumia (Zando): Nigeria's leading e-commerce platform operates in South Africa under the brand name Zando.

Airtel Africa: Headquartered in South Africa, this telecom giant manages extensive operations across Nigeria and 13 other African countries.

I have not found reports those companies are being attacked.

brain54:
If they don't want foreigners there they should simply send all foreigners there packing and Create laws to prevent them from coming there and leave other people's country also irrespective of whether they do mega business and others do petty business in their own country.

It's very simple!

It's most likely the phools and ijiots who don't want foreign businesses in their South Africa. The smart South Africans would want foreign investment regardless where it comes from.

PresidentMUGABE:
The most sick and backward nation on Earth.

Why are you doing petty business in "The most sick and backward nation on Earth"?

PresidentMUGABE:
Go ask Ur brothers in South Africa how they r destroying people's businesses....

Why should I go and ask anybody in South Africa anything when I should be asking my own brothers and sisters in Nigeria why we are stooping so low so South Africans are destroying people's business?

In fact, why is it that it is petty business that we are going to do in South Africa? Are South Africans doing petty business in my Nigeria?

If South Africans don't want us in their country, can we not go elsewhere with our petty business or go to South Africa with massive business that they can not attack?

Shame on us Nigerians!

Upon research, I found no credible source for this story, though it's all over social media!

We need to study these "100 couples across Zamfara State" to see how married they are in a years time.

So, if you see this post of mine in 2027, like it to remind me to ask please.

The fact this teenage boy was so ill educated that he did not know that his dead mother will eventually smell says a lot indeed, and should warn parents to educate their children so they don't end up killing their parents or anyone else.
