Gorrbachev: ALOR STAR, Jan 22 — A Nigerian man was sentenced to death by hanging by the High Court here today after he was found guilty of trafficking in 16,936gm of cannabis two years ago.

Judicial Commissioner Mohd Zaki Abdul Wahab handed down the sentence on John Amaechi Eze, 23, after finding that the prosecution had established the case beyond reasonable doubt. Eze, a student at a private college in Kuala Lumpur, was charged with committing the offence in front of Dewan Lye Huat Garden, Jitra, about 9.30pm on May 10, 2011. Eze, who looked calm when the Mohd Zaki handed down the sentence, then requested permission to contact his family in Nigeria and informed the court that he had not contacted them since he was arrested. Mohd Zaki said the matter would be arranged by his lawyer, Ali Munawar Razak, and deputy public prosecutor Wan Nor Hasnita Wan Daud, who prosecuted in the case. - Bernama

Now, for anyone harbouring thoughts of trafficking drugs to this country, this is what you get. It beats me why someone would risk their life, by taking banned substance to this racist shit hole called Malaysia, because when issued a visa, it is clearly stated that the punishment for drug trafficking in Malaysia is death.

To be fair and honest to Malaysia, there are some very nice and wonderful people out there but they are greatly outnumbered by the bigots among them. I live and study in Malaysia and I've observed a bias pattern in judicial procedures and policing as regards drug trafficking and crime prevention.

My assertions are based on my day to day experience and observation as a resident, i have no statistical analysis of the Nigerian population living in Malaysia neither do i have the exact figures or nationality of the number of cases prosecuted by the Malaysian judiciary.

From the Nigerian side, The easterners (Igbos) out-number other ethnic groups within the Nigerian community here. That's why most Nigerians you meet are from the east. A lot Nigerians you meet are not in Malaysia to study, though they are enrolled in one college or another, they are semi-illiterates or outright illiterates, very lousy, brash and arrogant (for reasons i don't understand). Then we have the stranded group who were duped by travel agents into thinking the pasture in Malaysia is greener.

In short, You meet criminals of all shapes, size and age. They just sleep, eat and wake up, and hope for the next Maga to pay. They are so much, you'll think all Nigerians living in Malaysia are criminals, but we have bright students doing well and graduating in Malaysian universities , we have gainfully employed graduates trained by Malaysians themselves (few) and business men and women doing legitimate business exporting goods to and from Nigeria (also few compared to the population of the Nigerian community). But the Yahoo boys and drug traffickers are so high in number it seems they've all relocated from Nigeria to Malaysia. Conditions here favour them.

Basic infrastructure is great here compared to what we have in Nigeria. 24 hours electricity, Running water, Well laid roads, affordable high speed internet, Compact 3/4 bedroom apartment, affordable furniture, Little or no scrutiny on international remittance etc. Malaysia is a yahoo boy's Paradise. Though most foreigners, especially new comers call them (Malaysians) lazy and stupid (i still don't get the rationale behind that).

On the Malaysian side, You'll meet the Malay supremacist. A Muslim, religious bigot, loud, aggressive and assertive. He (Male and Female) hates Jews and despises Christians. He wants to protect the "sanctity" of Islam, State resources are at his disposal. His opinion and interest supersedes that of others. His ancestors are the first settlers in Peninsular Malaysia. His interpretation of the Islamic text dictates and guides the Muslim community and some times the Whole nation. His favourite question when he meets you for the first time in class or anywhere is "Are you Muslim?". He runs the country and he knows it.

Then we have the Chinese Chauvinist, A business tycoon/ hard working student. Drives flashy cars, He believes his race is the best. He is rich and he has read stories of Nigerians using Malaysian girls as drug mules. He has meet or read of stranded Nigerians who loiter around Kuala-Lumpur begging for money (These stranded guys don't shower, so they stink). He cringes when you happen to be in the same elevator, crosses to the other side of the road when you are walking towards each other and always thinks you need something from him any time you try to talk to him. He has held on to so many Nigerian horrible stories and thinks every Nigerian is like that.

Then, we have the Angry Indian, Always pissed and Mean-mugging you. He has been discriminated against so much that even his language is not included in the country's ATM machine (LMAO). He is always trying to pick fights with you and the first comment he makes is "THIS IS MY COUNTRY!". He'll smash his crash helmet on you at the slightest provocation or stab you. He also reads of atrocities committed by Nigerians and sees you as a threat.

So, living in Malaysia has made me a racism connoisseur of sought. In fact, I have become so sensitive that I believe I can tell if an individual is racist within a few seconds of being around them. There are people in Malaysia whose sole purpose in life is just to ruin your day. Racism in Malaysia is perfect. It is subtle when it needs to be and brass when necessary. As a foreigner you might be misled into thinking Malaysia is a boring place and no one gives a damn about you, so you can do what ever you like and get away with it. No, you are seriously mistaking. Malaysia sometimes feels like the North-Korea we watch on T.V. Some citizens are very nosy and they watch and observe every move you make. I read a news article some weeks ago that says about 80% of Police personnel don't do normal Policing but rather, they spy and gather intelligence.

So, my point is this. Malaysia is a tightly controlled society where the authorities decide what business prospers, whether legal or illegal. Elements within the police control the drug trade, the distributors are under their command and they arrest them when it's politically needed to unite the country against a common enemy. We hear of stories of Iranian and Arab drug traffickers who are quietly deported and warned never to return to Malaysia but other Nationalities are shown off as trophy in front of news men who broadcast and publish sensational news headline.

South-east Asian countries are united against drug trafficking and they hold meetings regularly to discuss new strategies on deterrent, Death (rolls eyes). So, it baffles me why people still take the risk. John Amaechi Eze was sentenced on January 22, a British Grand mother Lindsay Sandiford was also sentenced to death on the same day in Indonesia. In the year 2008, Two Nigerians were executed in Indonesia and 1 in Singapore.

Henry120: See this silly ghanaian woman, AFUA hirsch or what ever her name is. Her hate for nigeria would continue to give her nightmares. Her country ghana sent 120 electricians and plumbers to mali, while a tiny state like benin republic pledged 300 combat soldiers. Togo another tiny state, pledged 500 combat soldiers.

Nigeria pledged 1200 soldiers combat. nigerian air force quick response force AKA special forces sent 66 tavor-21 wielding paratroopers. The navy also sent a couple of their battle hardened special forces soldiers, SBS wielding state of the art tavor-21 assault weapon. Nigerian army special forces members were embedded with the troops from mali national army and senegal the first 2days of this war. let me also add that our troops are all kitted with made in nigeria hardware, the desert camo, the bullet proof vest and their ak-47/ AKM/ AK-74 rifles carried by our troops are made in nigeria. Our troops have the requisite training and experience to carry out their mission, have been trained by the best nigerian military trainers.

The airforce, in addition to the 66 special forces troops( paratroopers) already sent to mali, would also deploy MI-35p attack helicopters, MI-24hind and MI-17 terminator attack transport helicopters. 2 Alpha jets( up graded, up gunned and up armoured) have already been deployed, we read about the miracles NAF pilots did with their alpha jets aka "DUDU BIRDS" in SLR and liberia, just wait and see what they are going to do with these upgraded version. The airforce would also deploy G222 medium transport planes, 1 of our C-130 big birds, charlie would also be deployed. Our F-7's would also be deployed, a lot has been said about this bird, unfortunately all negative, however it is left for our pilots to use them in real combat in mali, then we can know for certain whether it is a good bird or not.

At the moment we do not know the the types of vehicles that would be deployed, but we are sure to see our OTOKA COBRA, and french made panhard ( also used by the french in mali) in mali. As for artillery pieces we do not know what would be deployed.


Nigeria has a total number of about 100 thousand troops, deploying 1200 troops to mali which has been a base camp for training terrorists who have killed 2900 nigerians since 2010 is the right thing to do. It is in our own interest to be proactive in mali, the FG has shown willingness to tackle this problem head on, since last year a couple of nigerian secret service (NIA) agents have been embedded in mali. This french intervention provides nigeria a quick, less expensive route in dealing with terrorists operating in nigeria from their base camp in mali. We have to tackle the root of the problem. The army over the last few months have succeeded in landing major blows on terrorist, we just have to carry on with the tempo. Pound them to obliteration, all terrorists must die.


We owe members of our armed forces a great debt of gratitude, it is true that some of them act like animals, but the action of a few cannot, should not cloud our judgement of the bravery of the majority. Thank you to all of them, GODS SPEED.



As for that silly ghanaian self hating m.oron afua hirsch, make she go look bush or watch p.or.n.

FXKing2012: The laws we have in Nigeria is fundamentally flawed; it is way too biased towards men.
Our laws enslave women who are forced to stay in a relationship/union even when they are not happy in it. Why should such continue?

Some say the divorce settlement law will encourage divorce therefore we should not implement it. I think that notion is very selfish and only meant to protect men even while enslaving and mistreating women.

We've seen cases where the man beats the wife daily, leaves her with permanent disabilities or even beat her to death. The women stay in such unions because our law does not protect them - doesnt necessarily mean they are happy in the marriage. So the fact that divorce rate is lower in Nigeria compared to the west does not mean we are happier in our relationships/marriages.

And when you try to defend the defenceless (women) you are termed a sissy. This shows how patriarchal our society really is.

Drdaps: ABEOKUTA – Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has predicted an end for the dreaded Boko Haram sect, saying, Nigeria will soon enjoy peace and tranquility.

Obasanjo also expressed optimism that Nigeria would be ranked among the greatest countries of the world in the nearest future.

Addressing newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, Obasanjo lamented that Nigeria’ could not manage its abundant resources. .

Obasanjo who was thanking God for His mercies over the country, said despite the bombings and other dangerous activities of the sect, he believes, the country would achieve peace.

While speaking on the alleged mismanagement the country’s resources, Obasanjo said, “God has been extra generous to Nigeria, many nations of the world are not as richly endowed as the country.’’

He however urged Nigerian leaders to harness the country’s endowments for the transformation of the nation.

“I believe good people who will be able to manage it will come, maybe later. But the earlier we are there, the better and I am sure we will be there.

“We will be there because God has been kind to us, we only need to be kind to ourselves. God will help us.

‘’God has been kind to us, we need to be kind to ourselves,” he said.

anitank: Seriously I would hate to sound like some old fashioned lady here because that is so on the contrary..... but would you have your 6 year old girl dressed up like that (which I didn't really take seriously), and then posing for the camera with her butt popped out from behind,pouting like that? Isn't that going to start getting the attention of guys who would think she's hot(which sometimes lead to child molestation and ra-pe)

lastpage:
Seems that our Naija brother is suffering from SELECTIVE AMNESIA!

How did you forget to mention the thousands of Nigerians in the same U.K who are Doctors, Engineers, Computer Scientists, Lawyers, e.t.c (qualified professionals!)

Even the Otedolas, Jim Ovias, Dangotes, that you mention.......all have "Homes" in these foreign countries, HOMES where they come to get "real rest of mind" from the chaos that is Nigeria!

All those peeps you mention up there are very proud Nigerians!
They do Nigeria more good than the hordes of yahoo-yahoo "locals" that send thousands of E-mails to foreigners, looking for a way to scam them!

They work hard and they get paid. At an average of 500GBP/week (2,000GBP monthly = #500,000 averagely), how many of your local champions who don "suit and tie" in the burning sun, earn just #200,000 monthly?.
Or is it not that same country where the "dream of a University Graduate" is to DRIVE a "DANGOTE TRAILER"?

If most Nigerians are as diligent as those people you mention, our image would not be this bad world-wide......and the culprits are those millions of unemployed youths in Nigeria, who are just desperate to survive.

I would rather be a street sweeper in U.S, than be a "Kidnapper or Ritualist" in Nigeria!
I would rather wash Easton station in U.K than "steal money" meant for a Children's hospital in Nigeria, to live like a big-man in Nigeria!
There is always dignity in labor, "Oole lo'bomo je"!

Granted, a Nigerian is a Nigerian, whether home or abroad.
This "differentiation" is a waste of energy and completely stewpid!

Everyone, local and abroad, should contribute something to the betterment of our country.
It seems the real bitter people (for reasons l still cant fathom) are those that accuse Nigerians in Diaspora, as being bitter.
I remember that Dora Akinyuli also said the same thing, like two years ago (the woman has suddenly become a multi-millionaire and Governorship aspirant, after working in Government for a few years!..Hmmmm)

Most "Diasporeans" come home regularly, we even bring our kids home on holidays, yet someone says "they are stuck abroad"? We build houses in Nigeria, we "invite" family members for visits, we have "well funded" account in Nigeria.....yet they say we are bitter?
Bitter over what? The very few Nigerians that loot the treasury and live large? Or those that use fellow humans in money rituals? What is there to envy in "blood money"?
Most of you guys are just suffering from DELUSION OF GRANDEUR![b][/b]

Diasporeans are not bitter, we are just unhappy with our folks back home, who fulfill the "cave man's theory"!
Until you leave the confines of the cave, you may never know that "light" exist outside.
We are unhappy that despite all the natural resources and man-power we have, we are one of the poorest people on earth!
Wetin sef?

No need to beef each other, we s should all work for the greatness of our country.
