Its not discrimination if they had valid reasons for it and they were following security protocol. If they had no reasons for that other than the fact that he is black, then that is discrimination. How on earth you can conclude that the above is patronizing is beyond me. Keep sentiments aside please.

Bear in mind that they claimed to have video footage which the OP didnt get to see as he was told that he would miss his flight if they had to show it to him. Perhaps you expect them to hold up the flight for him (anything else would be discriminatory right?). As difficult as it might seem to believe, some people have a hard time telling black people apart (like some people have a hard time telling some Asians apart). Perhaps someone else ( a person of color) dropped a bag at the airport and they thought it was him and decided to check! Perhaps they just wanted to harass him for no reason. Either way, we do not know enough to conclude that it is racism.

At least the OP did not miss his flight. I missed mine but you dont hear me shout racism because I know the reason my passport was subjected to such intense scrutiny.

You're right. Its the mods that changed it to "My Racism Experience". Most of our mods are illiterates and I'm not sorry to say that. They change topic titles in ways that expose their educational shortcomings and they abuse quotation marks with impunity. In this case though they may be right. Discrimination based on race is racism. So what you choose to call it is not as important as the meaning you are conveying.

Back to you however, I wouldn't exactly call it discrimination as you prefer to call it. Its an unfortunate incident no doubt but unless it was uncalled for, its a security measure. If it can be proven that no one dropped a bag anywhere, then I'll stand firmly by you. However you said that when you demanded to see the tape, they told you that you'd miss your flight if they were to show it. At the end of the day, we don't know if you were discriminated against or not.

Jonathan's regime dismissed them; sentenced some to life imprisonment and others to death just because he refused to empower them to successfully fight the war. If killing thousands of helpless soldiers is what you call a legacy, then you are the most stupiid Nigerian I've ever seen in my life.

OP,

Many of the fools on here calling you names are not any better than you. You have accepted your mistake and all you need is get some advice on what course of action to take. Get yourself and your wife treated and then help the other lady get treated. For your other paroles, make do with your condom to avoid stories that touch

I doubt if it will be much. My younger brother wanted to fix his tuition fee and allowance of about N4.5m some times back and the offer he got was like N41k/month. But we have always been fortunate with stocks, maybe you should speak with a reputable broker.
