I understand your point about the stewardess, but ignoring racism when it's blatantly manifested is a no. How do you think 'driving while black' and the shootings that provoked BLM started? Stereotyping. All blacks are drug dealers, pimps and always carry guns which they use to shoot each other, or just shoot anyone they see, cos you see, they 've got no sense. So police officers always switch to the default stereotype mode when they see a black man. They don't instinctively hate black people. They just shoot first because their stereotyping had sunk into their subconscious and they won't want to get shot first. That's why it's important to fight the thoughts and words of racism because they become actions. Eg if Buhari says most Nigerians abroad are drug dealers and criminals, which sane country would want to give visas to drug dealers and criminals? it's important to present a counter narrative to racial stereotyping.

There's no big dick stereotype about the Lebanese, so what would be the context of making a big dick joke about the Lebanese?

Let's say a Nigerian hostess with a Nigerian airline goes on Snapchat when she is off-duty and makes a joke about Lebanese passengers and garlic sauce, what do you think would be the reaction on the internet?

Note that from my first comment I already said posting it was probably not the smartest thing to do, but no I don't consider it that serious or racist or even a fireable 'offence'.

taoheedoriloye:
lols!! so funny mendacious post just to get some attention .
you don't talk with your hubby for days under one roof!

hahaha am pretty sure no woman would do that to me though, I hate it when a woman trying to question her husband authority, beating is not far from such lady.

he was killed for pushing drugs simple. if Nigerians want to be taken seriously they should stop doing illegal business in foreign lands.

Theu cant just beat him to death for doing nothing

JoeArmsD1:
The sad truth there

but, am seeing the rebirth of the true biafra.

Nigeria is 75% likely to become a dismembered entity in the next coming 10 yrs.

BUT

The reasons igbos are hated in Nigeria is because of one man who led to the killings of igbos in the north

CHUKWUMA KADUNA NZEOGWU

He led the coup that left major northern soldiers dead.

According to their kinsmen, they are not Igbos but Anioma.

But according to Nigerians, Igbos carried out the coup.

They are always the first to disassociate themselves with Igbos.

The reasons for this Igbophobia and Animosity against them is because of an Anioma man who will in problem distance themselves from Igbos.

Biafra declaration in 1967 was necessitated by the continued killing of Easterners in Northern region in retaliation of the tagged " Igbos killing of the Northerners".

Today, Igbos are now bearing the wrath and unforgiving northerners but i have never seen an Anioma man come out to claim that they are the cause of this widespread hatred against Igbos.

what Igbos in their adage called [b]"Ochicha mere ihe ebolu oke"

Let me ask you. guess the effect if IPOB call another sit at home in Southeast?

If the whole Southeast boycott 2019 Election?

magoo10:
The military invasion is one of the dumbest move of this govt despite existing court case against kanu,obviously they were afraid of something.

The invasion have not removed the burning issues from the heart of the people.

Nnamdi KANU once agreed to slow down agitations if holistic restructuring is done before November 18 elections in Anambra state at this stage a reasonable govt should have called for dialogue but because those is power are dictators and lack democratic values they resorted to violence.

The Biafra issues are legitimate to the extent that It will continue to give the Nigeria govt sleepless nights until a Democratic approach is made.

Till then Biafra Lives on

I didn't say it was about what I care. I was only expressing my opinion about whether this counts as racially offensive or not.

And quite frankly (knowing Nigerians) I don't think a lot of Nigerians will care enough to boycott BA.

A lot of professionals complain about hard-to-please customers during their offtime and it doesn't generate controversy. I've seen doctors do it on Facebook all the time. If this was a Nigerian hostess trying to be funny while saying something similar about, say, Lebanese passengers giving her a hard time, we won't be having this conversation.

The PC crowd only goes to town if it's a white person saying anything about people of colour.

Am I the only one that didn't see any racist remark in the video? Inappropriate? Yes but she was obviously having fun.

you comment shoqs that you dont know the meaning of parasite therefore cannot make a valid argument ..... how can someone be a parasite to what belongs to them?

PureMe01:
then let them prove him wrong by keying into d restructuring agenda instead of depending on d south for manna..truth be told,they Dont wanna hustle
they want to keep up their parasitism.they can't do without d south.

kennykendo:
I 'commend' the efforts of the federal government in 'digging out' the hidden 'activities' of the 'terrorist' group.

Now listen, with sense and wisdom for anyone who wishes to quote me.

I'm a full blooded Igbo, but not an IPOB spearheader, if it is the will of God for secession to exist fine..if it isn't it won't come to light..

Now another thing to note is this, what has happened to the brutal, diabolical, heartless and nasty activities of the 'herdsmen' that were not tagged 'terrorists'? ...and the Boko Haram insurgents?


IPOB supporters have an aim in mind, secession (supposedly), now what can you say is the goal of herdsmen who derive joy in penetration of hinterlands for the sole aim of killing, raping women and other lawless activities? I served in Anambra State and the day these herdsmen came, they arrived in a lorry with ammunitions, we the corpers in that area, had to alert the army barracks closest to us, plus the policemen and the village security team. but it was late, they had moved into Alor going into farms and destroying things....same happened in Aba, Obingwa if not that the youths took it upon themselves to chase those miscreants out of the village only imaginations know what would have happened. isn't that an act of terrorism?

What about Boko Haram, who go about bombing churches, mosques and even attaching bombs to humans in form of suicide bombers? isn't that an act of terrorism?

Oh Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram aren't terrorists right?

Merriam Webster's dictionary defines terror as 'violent or destructive acts (as bombing)committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands'.

Now what are the demands of the aforementioned bodies that are not checkmated...?

oh you'd say they were attacked in their camps (Boko Haram)..but what collateral damage did it incur? the loss of IDPs in Borno state.

I do not support Nnamdi Kanu's slander and aggression, but if you look at it systematically, you'd see that he draws his inference from the unchecked lawlessness of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.

Tell me where you have heard IPOB killed anyone.. where? I can't say either...but the military sent to curb the situation used real bullets instead of rubber or other means to curb the case.

Every President that went to UN meeting has returned back to their country to deliver the dividend of democracy to her people EXCEPT one AGAFU who chooses to continue his main aim of been elected (Travelling).

My family has never been cursed before like it is since 2015

Dancing to God is part of worship. Prayer itself is worship.

Christians can pray to God anywhere. Be it in church, their homes, etc.

Is it only in mosques that Muslims pray? No be dem dey like block express road in the name of knacking head on the ground to pray thereby causing unneccessary traffic?

What is the difference between that and Mad Men who sit in the middle of the road to show themselves?

Scratch that even Mad Men get sense sometimes as them sabi look road before dem cross but Muslims will look road and sit down on the road.

babaolofin:
myself2, I agreed with you. Please, I will repeat your posting again.

The NORTH is a lazy bunch that has been parasiting on the oil wealth of the Niger Delta and VAT of Lagos,that's why they are so scared of restructuring.

Atiku just spoke the truth, idiots and fools like Junaid MohaMAD and Tsav can go eat sh!t and die slow
d last word of a Northerner is restructuring.

Who is Dr Junaid Mohammed? A northern parasite on the Southern Wealth. I was at Onne Wharf in the late 80s when Intel Logistics was a small company growing up. The company had survived major economic travails associated with Nigeria economic policy to become what it is today.

Atiku remains the MOST QUALIFIED NIGERIAN today for the office of the president. Atiku has been in contention for this post for the past 25 years. Where was Junaid Mohammed in 1992 & 1993. Late M.K.O Abiola (in his grave), Babagana Kingibe, Arthur Nzeribe will still remember the famous Jos SDP presidential primary of 1993 where MKO, Kingibe & Atiku were leading on equal votes. Atiku on respect for late MKO & Kingibe stepped down leaving the contest for MKO & Kingibe, the rest is now history, that was over 24yrs ago. Where was Junaid Mohammed by then. He only likes to parasite at the corridor of power using northern identity as a credential. Presently, Daura, the head of SSS checkmates him from having his way to PMB, he is now complaining.

He should tell us what the North is putting on the table apart from the population liability. Nothing. It is what they are gaining that they are so much concern about.

PureMe01:
restructuring is d last word in d dictionary of a Northerner like U.he just decided to be sincere atleast for once in his life,hence d attack. I don't care about atiku,I don't care about his attackers,his message is clear..dats all

Okuda:
I dont feel sorry for them and I am not sorry to say.

SaiNigeria:
yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!

The idiots only display gallantry when IPOB is involved

Kingbet:
Oya clap for youself, you COW

just give it a trial

PureMe01:
if not for anything,[b]am glad confusion is infiltrating d perceived owners of Nigeria.[/b]At d right time,they will have no other option than succumb to restructuring after which their wings will be completely and finally clipped....then comes secession after each region is wholely viable.
meanwhile the northerners should prove they are not lazy by doing d right thing. we are waiting...


dem lazy no be lie.ask sarrki,he will tell u better

olusledge:
Those guys be like oga come buy chinos,come buy jeans,we get stock jeans , 3 quarter , we get shirt ,we get round neck ,we get vintage after escaping the hurdle of those guys then you meet the hausas at the front ...those ones be like fine boy i dae buy and sell gold oo , i dae buy, i dae sell dollar, euro, pounds , yen ....that place is just to hectic ...if u mistakenly give the hausas attention lol sars is waiting for you at the front

Kingbet:
Thats your own Mind

cornel00:
We igbos are the problem to ourselves.
We call Hausa this and that yes i don't even like them (the truth must be told), their religious and ethnic intolerance is something else, but we are not better either, we have made our land less convenient for our people that's why you see igbos investing outside igbo land.

^{I don't understand people..Human beings are strange!}

Did Nnamdi kanu kill kelechi or did Buhari kill kelechi. Why are they not blaming the killers of the young man? The fulani soldiers massacred our people...they should and would be held responsible.

Kelechi is a great man. He died hoping for BIAFRA. He died because Nigeria is not a place he can call home. Like many of us kelechi was tired of this contrapment, kelechi didn't want to raise his children in this zoo!
Kelechi was a graduate, but 5years after graduating, no job for kelechi....kelechi might be died but his is very much alive, and he died knowing that BIAFRA would come. Kelechi did not die in vain. Kelechi is a hero.

God bless you my brother. Sleep on kelechi. We would not disappoint you.
