anonimi: Thanks for telling us they are both from Edo state and not a case of an Igbo judge hastily condemning a yoruba man to death for killing his Igbo wife.
Coogar I hope you have taken note.

Coldfeet: So are you now calm now that you've been told she's not igbo? I thought your argument was that the judge was harsh on the sentencing because he Theophilus is an Yoruba man that came to igbo land to kill their Igbo daughter? Have you now seen why I said don't be so sure of what you aint sure of!!!

Afam4eva: My vote goes thus:

Adaobi

Sleekchic

GraceBestowed

Nikkishane

All the ladies are beautiful but i voted for those that i thought were the realest and simple. Simplicity is a key for me.

supaeagles: It is very difficult to have a civil discussion with you..... has life in the UK made your so bitter? Come back to 9ja my friend... we may be 'poor" and as you insinuated "I have never been to an airport" but at least i have peace of mind in my economic situation . Your friend (obiadah) uses all caps, while you use profanity to enforce your arguments... it is hard to engage in meaningful dialogue in such a situation.
Take care my friend. I enjoyed my discussion with you.

gwariman007: This was a clear case of miscarriage of justice...He did not kill his wife...the car he was driving had an accident and fell into the river...the wife drowned...His offence is that he did not die along with his wife...Anyway, the case will go on appeal...most definitely,that is if it has not gone already...God is not a man...HE sees ALL .BTw theophilus And his wife are both from Edo state..Why do most NLders comment on issues like Kids...

supaeagles: there are racially segregated communities in the UK.... you may be in denial..... there are many communities where there are mostly South Asians or Africans or Jews or Polish etc..... just the same as it is in the US..... like i said it is by individual choice and not institutionalized.

Read up on the HBCUs - they do NOT discriminate and were created to give opportunities to minorities. Minorities form 90% of the graduate enrollment in many ivy league technology and sciences schools.

There are equally racial challenges in UK as there are in the US, there is no difference, but i give the edge to the US. Give a minority the number 1 job in your UK and then we'll talk....

dayokanu: Research shows kids born within wedlock do better in school that kids outside

Get married and have kids is the normal way things are done

The study says kids born out of marriage. Nothing to do with jail. If you get married, knock up your wife and are thrown into jail then you are not part of the 73%

supaeagles: LOL - the same UK that is branding the British man as a "Nigerian terrorist".

I do agree that UK is up there in terms of racial progress (it is probably leading in Europe) but it is not above the US. When they vote a minority (black man) to be their leader then we can have this debate....

PS: there is nothing like an all black school in the US. There are racially segregated communities..... it a phenomenon even in the UK.... and in either case it is by individual choice and not by government design.

elampiro: E no easy like that.
Afterall Nani held us hostage last summer and even till now. Ronaldo is doing his own in Madrid.

Well it is left to Moyes to build a new team which will play in harmony and produce results. But according to SAF, some kind of players don't fall from the trees, otherwise he should have got replacement for Giggs and Sholes ever since.

supaeagles: @coogar btw, in your opinion, which country(ies) has it better in terms of race relations and racial equality.

dayokanu: They were born to unmarried parents How is jail related to marriage?

I knock up a girl in my hood outside of marriage How does that relate to jail? Or were they knocking them up from jail?

funnyx: But coogar, these father figures committed crimes isn't it?

dayokanu: Most of the crime are as a result of dysfunctional families.

Stats say 73 per cent of black babies are born outside marriage

53 per cent of of Latino babies are born outside marriage
29 per cent of white babies are born outside marriage


If you check the jail stats it would almost mirror the percentage of kids born outside wedlock

Having kids outside marriage tend to contribute to poverty and growing up with little guidance and makes them live a life of crime and end up in jail.

Its not the Govt that make three - quarters of Black women have kids outside of marriage

dayokanu: The parents get thrown into jail for crimes they committed. Even successful black people even avoid black dominated areas due to crime related issues

supaeagles: I would like to believe you and so I am requesting that you send me your sources of this statistic that you have posted. Please note, it is not a personal attack, I merely want to educate myself.
I am not denying that there are no race challenges in the US but I believe they are leading the world in terms of racial equality efforts.
As a side note, it is also impressive that they have elected a black man (not once but twice) as president.

SailorXY: How about selling Young & Nani then add £30m to the cash+Rooney in a package to Madrid in exchange for Cristiano Ronaldo? Surely not a bad move if Madrid & Ronaldo are willing?

supaeagles: That is not true ..... the Nigerian embassy in DC and the consulate in NY keeps records of all incarcerated Nigerians. The numbers are very few. Yes there are many 'black people' that are in jail but they are mostly African Americans and not Nigerians (or other Africans) or any other dark skinned ethnicities.
It's very simple - no crime, no time . It has nothing to do with race.

supaeagles: @cooger and @obiadah777 So because I live in a 'poor' city in 9ja it makes all my arguments invalid? What logic is that? Irrespective of where I live why can't we debate on the topic in a civil manner and with courtesy?
Anyways, here's my response.... there are many African immigrants living and gainfully employed in the US. Likewise many 'dark skinned' South Asians living and working in the US. Why are they also not disproportionately incarcerated - because according to your theories they should be jailed because of their skin pigmentation.

dayokanu: In most cases they commit the crime.

Go to South Chicago and see how many teenage black guys shoot each other by the hour, Yet they would claim its injustice for them to be in jail

Coldfeet: I think rage blinded you from reading the part where I stated that I don't know/care if the wife is Igbo or Yoruba! That what matters is her killer has been sentenced! My main purpose for quoting you was to clear you on that erroneous statement you made saying Yorubas don't name their female children Theodora! Which you replied by calling me a pathlogical liar! and I yet quoted you again still with the intent at correcting you not to be so sure of something you really aint sure of! Hey! Its your handle not mine that is being ridiculed so carry on!

chidindufrank: who told you that the wife is Igbo and that Yoruba man do not give Theodora a Catholic name to his daughter? Your head is in need of reformation (reformart). Smh at your ignorance.

olu77emi: You are actually right; Stark was actually Cursed, at the beginning of movie, Stark beheaded an innocent man because of the encounter he had with snow walkers (army of the dead men)

debosky: Hehehehe. . . ,Rooney's wages alone will pay for Crystal Palace's entire starting line up.

It would be funny seeing Rooney living down south with the man dem.

supaeagles: People are incarcerated for the crime they were proven to have committed .... not the colour of their skin......sigh

supaeagles: Oya, go there and live and see how well you will be treated with you dark skin......forget even trying to win an election there.......smh...... USA is the true and undisputed land of the free.

Coldfeet: Pls quit making a foool outta yourself on a public forum its embarrassing! Enlighten yourself before you assert on anything!! You could be shooting urself in the foot friend!

andyanders: If you call Nigeria, USELESS COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA" and you a Nigerian, translates that you are equally calling ONLY yourself, USELESS

andyanders: Please Cougar, I pray you do not act like a wife killer if you can exonerate a woman killer.

Coldfeet: FYI Yorubas bear Theodora! I know a lady by that name Theodora Abosede Omobomi! She is YORUBA! And Theodora just like Theophilus are both 'English'names that any tribe can bare!. I don't know if the wife is yoruba or igbo I really don't care! Someone was killed and the killer has been judged at the jurisdiction where the crime was committed that's all that matters!

andyanders: There was a substantial evidence presented to sentencing him to death.

Jenny20: You were making sense until you got to this part were you allowed your bigotry to becloud your sense of reasoning. Coogar, I'm disappointed in you to say the least.

solomon111: America,land of the free indeed.
Tell that nonsense to the marines.
Btw,where is the so-called amnesty international?.
They shouldn't look the other way.

obadiah777: SHE A BRAVE WOMAN THOUGH. IF SHE IN THE POLICE STATION WITH A BUNCH OF KKK POPO CRACKERS AND SHE MOUTHING OFF LIKE THAT I CAN IMAGINE THE HELL SHE PUT HER HUSBAND THROUGH . FOLKS NEED TO UNDERSTAND, IF YOU LIVE IN AMERICA, JUST ACT DOCILE AND SUBSERVIENT WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER THESE TYPES AND MORE THAN LIKELY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. YOU ARE BEHIND ENEMY LINES AND OUTNUMBERED. YOU CAN NEVER WIN A WAR WITH THE SYSTEM. EITHER ACT DOCILE OR MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY IF YOU ARE TOO PROUD TO BE DOCILE. THOSE ARE YOUR ONLY CHOICES IF YOU DONT WANT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD. REAL TALK LOL
