Crime › Re: South African Rugby Player Murders 3 Men Who Despoiled & Gave His Daughter Hiv by InkedNerd(f): 9:26am On Mar 31, 2011

Although I am all for justice, I am in no way a supporter of his actions. This is a sad case but that is no excuse for vigilantism. The article mentions that the man is a former South African rugby player and that "the vast majority of South African rugby stars are white and it is possible the suspect could be accused of deliberately targeting black victims", if this individual is indeed white [even though the article gives some indication of what the man's racial identity is], are the police taking this case seriously because he is a white man who's daughter was rȧped? Would they have been so hands on with this case if the individual who was doing all the killing was a black man who killed white South Africans? I would never disregard the statement of anyone who says they were rȧped but could it be possible that one contributing factor to this killing spree was because those the individuals were black? They [The Daily Mail] did mention that he approached one man [Khangelani Mdluli] and attempted to make him one of victims and approached another man, Siyanda Khumalo, also attempting to make him a victim. Another thing I wonder is, suppose the rȧpe victim [the former rugby player's daughter] provided false information of the incident and those men actually had nothing to do with this girl? Why didn't he [the former rugby player] seek legal assistance i.e. going to the police? Now that he has murdered the accused rȧpists, the police only have the word of the violation victim and her father. I'm very interested in hearing more of this story and how it will end.

@OP: Although I'm not a big fan of Nollywood and Gollywood, I must say, I have NEVER heard or seen this girl before.

Fabulous E:
WHO IS SHE? AND IS SHE ABOUT TO CRY OR JUST SUBBING? THE HOUSE DOES NOT KNOW HER, HOUSE!, DO U?

Nope, not me. I've never even see her before undecided

londoner:
@Ikeyman, yes she was a presenter on OBE. It is not a main stream channel but it is the Ghanaian equivalent of BEN TV which is based in the UK.

You have heard her speak she has a British accent and was raised in the UK.

I agree though she can be very fake and annoying. Now, she has made herself into an actress to reckon with.

She should be given a pat on the back, its not easy for someone to go back to Africa and come up top actress on their first major film.

I'm proud of her anyway, although for me Gen is a better actress.

This time was Ama K's turn to shine, simple.

Wow, this is very interesting shocked

. I guess now I'll look her up or at least be on the lookout for her.

@Beowulf: I truly enjoyed reading your post on your experience here in the US and I must commend you for making the best of a bad situation. I remember having a similar discussion with a friend of mine on Facebook about situations such as your own. I mentioned to this friend that I wanted to create some kind of organization where I and others could help Nigerian and other Africans who find themselves in these kind of situations. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be in a land that is foreign to you and not have assistance or knowledge on how to navigate through it all. It can be even more of a struggle when you have bureaucratic huddles preventing you from achieving your goals. You're story reminds me of another friend of mine who is also attending school here in the US. This friend of mine, when I think of him, I often become sad because just like you, he is here in the US by himself. The only difference between you and him is that he is here on a scholarship. When I talk to this friend, he tells me about how much he misses his family and how he doesn't have money or time to work [there's a reason why I mentioned that he doesn't have time to work but I cannot disclose that reason]. It is truly a sad situation because as an international student, you are limited to the amount of hours you can work and the types of jobs that are available. My heart truly goes out to you and others like you who are struggling or have struggled and made it past such adversities. As a student and resident of New York, I know how expensive daily expenses can be. If you don't mind me asking, you mentioned that you are a student here in the US and your profile states that your location is in New York, which leads me to ask, do you go to school in upstate New York or in the city? And how is you situation currently?

Piercings on the other hand, I will definitely be getting more of those. I see nothing wrong with someone having a tattoo, even my great grandmother had one [bless her soul kiss

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=634430.msg8021953#msg8021953 date=1301546761]Actual, it is very fair of me.
Based on the Nigerians I know and have encountered, it's not impossible to make an ASSUMPTION based on that experience. I guess it boils down to who we know and associate with.
But Nigerians in general, MO, would not willingly settle down in that kind of lifestyle. Even AA in their right sense of mind and financial situation would not agreeably live the ghetto lifestyle. That lifestyle, IMO, is a forced circumstance.[/quote]Your experiences and the kind of Nigerians you have encountered or socialize with are not a representation of Nigerians as a whole. Like you said, it boiles down to who you know. As a group, we are not all the same.

Some people sha jealousy[/quote]What does jealousy have to do with this? Am I not entitled to MY OPINION? Must I think every man I see is handsome? Did it suddenly become a crime for someone to voice what their opinion is? Perhaps you think he's handsome but I don't. If you do in fact think that he is a handsome man, do you see me questioning your opinion? Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. . . I beheld his 'beauty' and I didn't like what I saw, so what is the problem with that? And to answer your question, no I am not married. Even if I was married and my husband were ugly, I wouldn't care. Because I say I wouldn't care doesn't mean that I don't acknowledge that the individual may not be handsome. All I simply did was say that I didn't find the groom to be handsome. Instead of singling out my one comment, perhaps you should be acknowledging other members who have said a mouth full such as playmate, mobelle, floxyrangy, and londoner.

Culture › Re: Africans In America Who Have Decided To Live The "urban" Ghetto Lifestyle by InkedNerd(f): 5:19am On Mar 31, 2011

EzeUche:
The "urban" culture not only impacts some Africans, it also impacts other groups such as Asians, Hispanics and people from Europe. This is the price you pay when you live in the United States. I have seen some very "urban" Hmong (Asian) and Philipinos, as well as some very "urban" Armenians in California. Africans are not immune, and if you go to Houston or the DC suburbs, you will find many Nigerians who have embraced this lifestyle. Remember that DC's #1 rapper is a Nigerian. Wale! The point I am trying to make, is that there is nothing wrong with the "urban" lifestyle as long as they remember their roots.

Well said

Thirst4Lif:
The woman you mention in this story made her OWN choices.

No one forced her! You mean she was so taken with the 'American lifestyle' it caused

her to have 4 children with 4 different men? What about the women

in America who have no children or who's children are only by their

husbands? There are such women, you know? Whey didn't she pattern

her life after them?! Africans scramble to get to America, but when their

lives go bad they want to blame everyone but themselves for their bad

decision making. This woman would have been a w.hore regardless of where

she'd made her home! STOP BLAMING AMERICA BECAUSE YOU ARE FOOLISH

Good point.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=634430.msg8019515#msg8019515 date=1301511236]I doubt Nigerians are among those Africans. Nigerians in large detest anything ghetto.
Well maybe the Nigerians that have been living her since the 30s (as some claim on NL) might live the "urban" ghetto lifestyle. But I am 99% confident that 100% Yoruba people would (if they could) avoid living amongst the Akatas.

We thrive to survive, to bring our children up right. We strive to live the Nigerian lifestyle in a non-Nigerian region.[/quote]I don't think its fair for you to say that you doubt that Nigerians are among those Africans. If other Africans can live their life in that manner then what would make you think that Nigerians are immune to it? There are Nigerians such as the one that the OP mentioned that I've met and seen here in New York. As a matter of fact, my dad once told me about one of his co-workers [who is also Nigerian] and he mentioned that the guys brother was a drug addict. Till this day, the man is still a crack head.

[quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=634430.msg8019778#msg8019778 date=1301512806]Well, well, well. I see somebody has created another anti-AA thread. You know, I find it funny that some say that absolutely hate group A, but they can't stop talking about group A. If you hate group A so much, why talk about them? Anyway, as some here said this "urban lifestyle" is specific to one group. I've seen black, white, Asian, and so-called "Latino" (they are not actual Latinos) youngsters with the "urban" behavior. Is it unfortunate? Yes. However, one person's actions do not determine the behavior of an entire group.[/quote]I'm sorry if some of the things you've seen here on Nairaland may give you the impression that we Nigerians have some sort of overt disdain for African Americans but that is not the case. I don't think that the intent of the OP was to bash African Americans or create an anti-African American thread, which is why she mentioned "I know it is quite a stereotype that u would think of some black Americans being ghetto or living the lifestyle". It seems that she is aware that it is a stereotype and that it does not apply to all African Americans.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=634430.msg8019998#msg8019998 date=1301514020]Paranoia.

Should I point out to you that no one has mentioned hating "group A" or could you be a little less lazy and read through the posts on this thread to find out for yourself?

Not living with "group A" does not mean one hates "group A", it could mean a number of things. Hate could be ONE of them, and not necessarily a strong dislike of the person, but their livelihood.

And if you understand a lil bit of statistics, you'd know that one can never determine any interval for a population (entire group). but there's a probability that you could determine an interval for that population through the samples you've met and encountered. So yes, Nigerians might have this so so mentality for "group A" through samples of "group A" they've been fortunate or unfortunate to meet.[/quote]He's no paranoid. I don don't blame him voicing his comment as he did. Not too long ago there was a thread that had topics similar to what the OP of this thread mentioned.

Imari:
Actually, the OP made the distinction that it was not typical of ALL AA but "some" as the word that was used and that it was a "stereotypical" way that many view African Americnas.

If not for that distinction I would have taken offense as I am a member of that group and it is offensive when ALL AA are singled out in the U.S by the white community, as being "ghetto, hoodrat, crackhead, drug dealers, welfare queens with multiple baby daddies or gang banging thugs" .

You are correct in saying that here in the U.S. every group has those elements but it is the black face that is painted in the picture that is disparaged all the time and is just a way not to look at what's wrong in your very own community.

Well said.
