So someone comes and shows overt racism on a message board targeted at Africans and you are worried about me taking the high road? I simply asked a couple of questions about Afrophobia in his country so you care more about an internet gangsters feelings than actual people who are dying in India? Okay thanks.

You're distorting the facts to make yourself feel better about your over-aggressive and actual racist attitude.

The chap didn't not show any racism overtly or otherwise. He merely responded to comments that were made about his own country, countering with the aim of showing that those Nigerians who point fingers at India for rape are being hypocritical. Whether true or false, that was not racist. If anything at all, in the specific context of the way the events unfolded, the worst you could accuse him of is reactive, reverse racism.

Again, what do questions about afrophobia in India or anywhere have to do with this specific case in which an Indian guy makes a comment on nairaland and you respond so aggressively? Are you saying that your aggression is some form of protest against afrophobia? or that meting out e-violence is the appropriate measure to take in order to protect black lives in India? What's your point exactly?

Mine remains that your response was disproportionate and betrays an actual racist attitude, merely waiting for an opportunity to express itself. your inability to tolerate free speech, which in this case is not in anyway offensive, is worrisome!

But not to turn this into a lengthy e-argument... i only meant it in a friendly sort of way.

MainHerioneHoon:
So I should tolerate his rubbish because he is a minority ? Do Indians tolerate the rubbish of the minority of Africans who live in India? Where is your outrage when Indians beat up other Africans in India? So I should think about his feelings when there are Africans dying at the hands of Indians?

When did we arrive at Africans dying at the hands of Indians? Is that germane to the topic or to the confrontation you had with the Indian guy? How does it even link in to the conversation we are having right now?? Is Indianbwoy the one killing Africans in India?

The bottom line is, while his ranting came off as whiny and immature, your retort was laced with tacit animosity which is retrogressive. Take it or leave it, but it tells of what you as a person are made of.

Sometimes its better to simply take the high road... but feel free to ignore me ma

lesbiangirl:
What do u expect Wen majority of dem are illiterates with fufu-stuffed bellies

Women are in trouble. Instead of dem to get serious abt what they need as a gender most of dem are busy tryna be runs girls, waist-training, learning how to do unrealistic makeups, chasing horsebands sideboos or tryna be a sidechick or babymama. How many of dem knew dt d bill was to be passed today noone!

Nobody can fight for you except God or you yourself! Sadly women have lost sight of things.

MODIFIED: after reading comments on this thread I'll say ladies shudnt waste their breath on the men; coz we failed on this one. How long are we gonna keep blaming the men, the likes of Remi, Stella, Abike and co are extremely useless and foolish. Have never met people dt slow before. You mean they cudnt rally women and support d bill, all they knw is how to embezzle money and all. How are the men gonna take us seriously if we don't put more effort on it. Educate every man in ur life concerning d bill coz am sure none of d myopic males commenting didn't read what d bill is all abt. They're just blabbing abt a woman nt collecting their money. How much una get sef for dis forum

Women need to do regroup, re-strategize and also kick dose useless women in d senate out! My 2kobo

Ive looked at some of the provisions of that bill and frankly they are impractical. Employment and other opportunities should be on merit. Some of the other issues such as inheritance I believe should already be addressed adequately in the existing laws

MainHerioneHoon:
So me asking him politely to please leave is crossing the line how?

Y r you asking him to leave? That's extreme... It reinforces the feeling he has that Nigerians don't like Indians. He is the minority here so it should be easier to tolerate his rubbish

MainHerioneHoon:
So coming to an African gossip forum to talk smack about Africans is in line?

he's just being sensitive and silly... his comments didnt really cross the line tho

MainHerioneHoon:
Please leave we don't like you.

Out of line.

IndianBwoy:
And some Nigerians are saying "India is a rap.e capital of the world."


Like these silly f#$% . (Id like to giv all sort of abuse but i wwill restrain myself lest i get banned):





My country has an ancient civilization and has made many innovation including the discovery of 0 , Hindu-Arabic numerals, anaesthesia, surgery etc. And other scientific innovation. We had the oldest and first university in the world in Takshashila (Taxila) at a time when europeans were moving around like cavemen. Even to date we have many achievements. But it pains and angers me to the point of tears that you oeople know my country only for r.ape and poke fun and insults at it. I see my nation as my mother and i hate people doing that.

[size=18pt]Look at your own selves first.[/size] Everyday a new r.ape case. As well as murders, kidnapping and cult wars. That too with such a small population compared to ours.

Imagine Nigeria was the size of India. Then you would be the r.ape capital of the Universe and Milkyway Galaxy combined.

Gods alone know how many more r.ape cases are unreported in Northern Nigeria.

THIS IS WORSE THAN INDIA sef


I ask you fellow Nigerian brothers & sisters... Is Nigeria the New India of Africa or is India the New Nigeria of Asia

Dude... no one cares

jayloms:
Broda!! D thing nor tire you!! D day a thief was caught in my area and everybody was descending on him eh! I just felt pity and while I tried to calm them, they all turned angrily at me, although we all lived in d same area. Na sense I take waka comot dere fast!

I'm suspecting something wrong psychologically amongst Nigerians. They've done this jungle justice for way too long now to extent, it now feels normal to 'em.

The north is another region harbouring a dangerous set of illiterate youths ready to draw their sword/knife/dagger at the slightest provocation.

That is the other part that really pisses me off....do these young men think they have a monopoly on violence? SS and to some extent SE people seem like the only group that won't tolerate rubbish from them. SW and middle belt people have allowed the extreme north to ride roughshod over them in an amazing fashion

This brutal and mindless act of violence, is the result of decades of an informally sanctioned, and approved jungle justice culture. We the people are responsible in part, for this reprehensible crime. A few days ago, a young man was murdered for the mere fact of his sexual proclivities and many expressed sentiments that encouraged his murder.

I think many Nigerians in general are mean people. May God teach the wicked among us to repent.

Rexhenrex:
well said some guys brag amongst there peers how there g.f has never ate there money its actually a thing of shame even if she turns down the opportunity just surprise her that's how to win a woman's heart its not by the expensive stuffs but by the little things you give her with a happy heart indeed not all girls but a large percentage just want a guy to do little things that matters like buying her rose e.t.c

Hmmm my female friend inists that African girls do not like roses

ccaramel:
Lol. He's looking for the garter. Get all your minds outta the gutter. Bush people

Dont mind them...as if it's not obvious that the woman's thighs are tightly closed. Sometimes i just wonder

Bbsharon:
Hello everyone.

I was gisting with my boyfriend last week and we talked about what if someone approach me for marriage because we are age mate and he told me he has "PLAN B" if I leave him.

I was heartbroken and when he realised that he tried explaining that he is just trying to be on the safer side but when I told an older friend of mine about it she told me he (my bf) might be dating the other lady already but he loves me more. I became more confused and do not want to approach my boyfriend on the matter again because I do not want anything that will cause misunderstanding between us.

So I want to know other people's thoughts on this and if you happen to have been in such situation before please share how you handled it.

Mature contributions please..

Girls can be very stupid...

So what do you expect your boyfriend to feel/think when you're bringing up such possibilities of someone else coming for you? Obviously he feels he cannot trust you.

US commander General Rodriguez says Boko Haram still holds significant territory. You don't say?

So why not tell us where and where and where and which and which and which territories they hold since Commander Rodriguez now professes to know better than President Buhari. The arrogance of some buffoons appalls me.

This is the same country that made a big show of sending their "experts" in to assist the Nigerian military in rescuing the Chibok girls and left without any noticeable contribution. If they know the "significant" territories that Boko Haram is still holding then surely they could do us all some good by help to erode those positions. But how exactly would they know what territories are being held in Nigeria? Are they on ground in Nigeria? Do they have contacts in Boko Haram? General please explain further.

But i'll tell you the facts, this is just a second rate US general trying to make his work in Africa appear relevant.

not sure if i should watch this

renim:
I think it's disgusting that a criminal like this should be celebrated. This man is a hardened gangster, the tattoo tear he has means he has killed somebody in the past. His victims will probably never be remembered! Really wrong

The tear tattoo is simply used to signify that one has been in prison before. Don't spread misinfo please. Is that too much to ask?

And everybody deserves a second chance. The law has judged him. Justice has been served. his dues have been paid. Whats your own?

edi287:
He got offers before this when his mugshots first hit the net. He's been known for over a year.

and so? there has been a significant update in the story which is that he is out of jail and has an actual tangible contract (which you would know if you bothered to read the article) which he didn't have before. Period.

Just admit that you merely glanced at the topic and rushed to enter your comment.

Jadekitana:
5) what do your parents do? Are they retired? Does your dad have companies? How many are you guys? Are u the first daughter(to know if u entitled to properties) how many cars do they have? Does your dad play gulf? Is he a member of polo club? no be only polo club na palmwine drinkers club e dey, rubbish!

your papa must be really rich to be playing gulf o

emerged01:
Very old! Nairaland just dey recycle news

edi287:
Old news...this should be removed from fp

Read well plz. It helps

BomboyOnline:
This story is older than Olajumoke's.

you're talking about when he was incarcerated... he is now getting released

To think someone out there is like this guy, with an amazing natural talent but crying out about unemployment. Always look inward

Too bad Nigerians, unlike other nations, never appreciate those who serve and serve well. Just because his latter days were not quite as auspicious as his former days does not mean a true legend of the Nigerian game should be mocked in his retirement. Such a shame!

Since i started watching football properly this guy has been a rock at the back of Nigeria's defence. The Sodje's, Shittu's, Apam's, Adeleye's, Nwanneri's, and co came and went but Joseph Yobo was always there. Please respect this man.

I remember the sense of pride i used to feel when both he and Okocha were captaining English premier league clubs. You think it's a small achievement for an African to do such??

As far as i'm concerned, Yobo and Enyeama are the last of the era in which Nigeria was still great.

Nuff respect sir.

fulanimafia:
Well it is now abundantly clear that such backward and criminal acts are not restricted to any region or religion.

Well as much as i don't readily subscribe to tribal sentimentality and in fact i offered some form of defense for the boy yunisa, I must state here that your comparison is vastly inadequate. In the one instance, a girl was taken and for months lawful orders for her return by both legal and cultural authorities were flagrantly disregarded and aided and abetted by the very structures which are meant to support the law.

individual cases of criminality will abound in probably most societies but what is seriously alarming is when a society as a whole appears to embrace a crime, as happens or seems to be happening up north with the spate of "kidnapped" young Christian girls are being married off while being underage.

fulanimafia:
A crime stopper par excellence.

By the way why is everyone suddenly quiet about the 3 kidnapped innocent girls for ransom (leading to possible DEATH if unpaid)?

Is it because they were kidnapped by a southerner Pastor and not a northern Yinusa?

Shameless hypocrites. Thank God for CSP Kyari who cracked the case and rescued the 3 kidnapped innocent girls from their Pastor abductor.

Actually, it is because that case has come to a logical conclusion speedily, as the long arm of the law reached out swiftly, to expedite justice. In Yunisa's case however, justice was delayed for several months, and effectively, denied until "we the public" had to act on behalf of the law.

Amazing talent! Impressed...

Which leads me to wonder, who knows how many such promising lives as his, have been terminated in the numerous fatal accidents plaguing the roads of this country? Who knows how many have had their lives cut short at the hands of armed robbers, cultists and terrorists and even crooked security agents? Who knows how many have expired on a hospital bed, rejected treatment for lack of silver coins?

One day...

I would say if i were your friend, i would take the music job in a heartbeat, and look for unpaid work in a law firm somewhere. This way, he/she gets to earn a decent salary and still acquire the relevant legal experience. 30k is just not it, imo.

Sad about the loss of lives but really i love this kind of news, where we hear of arrests of the hitherto high and mighty in our country. One step at a time, we shall get there.

thesicilian:
This is what I have always talked about, a great percentage of the decisions being made today by those running this country are just knee-jerk reactions. A minister dies by road accident today, you give automatic employment to the children. Tomorrow Boko Haram kills an army general and you give automatic salary for life to the family. Meanwhile the root causes of the problems are being ignored.
I wonder how far we can go with this.

Misinformationists like you never cease to amaze me. Where and when did boko haram kill a general? Has even boko haram claimed they killed the man? But I see what you're doing... It's quite clever. Repeat this fictional narrative often enough and those who refuse to think will soon accept it as a he truth abi? Keep up the good work

just wondering why anyone would want to work with shopprite in particular? do they pay well?

Flexherbal:
Why are these people just standing, instead of rescuing them.

you can't see that there was nobody in the car at the time the picture was taken?

asinine rubbish... yet they wonder why men look down on women intellectually

Centurion04:
That's a puff adder ...a very dangerous specie wit a lightning fast strike and a very potent venom! The guy get mind sha!

usually these so called snake charmers have removed the snakes fangs so they can't get bitten

i understand his point but what an insensible way of expressing himself.

He should simply have said:

"Nigeria is joining the coalition because of joint strategic interests but this alliance has no bearing on the sovreign identity of Nigeria".

As much as i supported this guy and still prefer him and APC to PDP, i knew he wasn't very clever from his inauguration day when Amanpour asked him about economic policies and all he could do was rant about corruption.

SMH.
