People see what they need to see in order to confirm their bias.

Go back and read my comment, this time, do so very slowly. After you are done reading, then you would realize the “racists” in my comment is in reference to people that throw bananas at black people. I never said the German people were racists.

gypsey:
What exactly is your point? Are you condoning the behaviours of those Violent Animals in that detention center? the police were there to do their jobs, if the Germans let everyone who claims Asylum into Germany especially Africans, they would have no Germany left.

You call them racists? if they are racists they would not even let them violent Idiots into Germany and feed them in the first place.

I am sorry didn’t know the title was edited.

I absolutely agree with everything you said. However what I had objection to was the monkey and throwing of banana bit.

Some white people don’t need black people to be unruly to throw bananas. We can condemn our bad entitled behavior without giving a shout out to racists who don’t need any other reason than their hatred for black people to call us monkeys.

I made my commet last night before the topic and article was changed and it got moved to front page. The initial topic read "why Germany may deport asylum seekers" or something like that. The blogger made it look as if they have already been given asylum and could be deported.

It hightime we Africans realize that no western country owes us shit. The other day, Laura Ikeji was ranting when she was denied US visa as if the coins she goes there to spend will have any effect on America's multi trillion dollar economy. Whatever these Nigerians face in the holding cell is their problem. Germany didn't beg or force them to come into their country and disturb their society. They don't owe anybody any explanation on how or why someone died I their holding facility either. Didn't people die on the boat rides across the Mediterranean? Why are they not demanding for explanation from the transporters?

Too bad Africans are experiencing racism in Europe but most of them are being very unruly in their hosts countries. Perhaps that's why the Europeans are fighting back with racist taunts.

Even if you didn’t read the article, the title says they are seeking asylum, so they haven’t be granted one yet.

They are kept in a holding facility, until their case is resolved. Acceptance or deportation.

In this detention center, there are 50 residents, a Nigerian woman died and the residents felt there was foul play because the woman’s family were barred from seeing her body. The dead woman left behind 3 children.

Because Nigerians can be disappointing sometimes does not mean you should condone racist behaviors. Racists don’t just throw bananas at unruly black people, they throw to ALL black people. To a racist there can never be a good black person, black people are not even humans. A racist don’t care whether you are well behaved black person or not

I know some Nigerians can be frustrating sometimes, and like to disgrace Nigeria outside its shores, however we don’t need to go that far. In fact most banana throwing incidents are done to rich black sportsmen.

dominique:
After telling all sorts of lies to gain asylum, is this how you treat the country that took pains to accommodate you?

After all the wailing about how much of a hellhole your country is. You get opportunity to travel to greener pastures only for you to go there and constitute nuisance. Some Africans are just impossible! Why won't the Caucasians call them monkeys and throw bananas at them when most of them behave like animals? These ones deserve to be deported and bundled straight to prison the moment they touch down because they're coming back to commit crimes.

You would be surprised, don’t underestimate the level to which Nigerians can be drunk on power. I blame the couple for letting the pastor have so much power over them. Nigerians always make everything stressful. To book a church the only thing needed is your marriage license and to see if your date is available. Simple.

Ishilove:
I find this very hard to believe.

Lol someone that was filled with fear, you want her to be calm and write in calligraphy

tyup:
One of the worst hand writing i've seen in my life

Because rational human beings know that the crime of “running your mouth like tap” does NOT deserve a death sentence.

Sirmuel1:
See the Man head like frog.... I pray he rots in jail.


BTW, why is no one asking what she did to be beaten like that? Some Women are the cause of some violence. You know your husband is hot tempered, yet you will keep running your mouth like tap.

Didn’t you read the article? The marriage has a history of domestic violence, this last beating was just one of many she had to endure in the course of the marriage. This beating was because of sex, if she had allowed him sex I am sure there would have been another reason for the man to beat her.

Jabioro:
Na so she lost her life..she for give am the sex.. even she no dey mood..now she is late..

Robin Williams was brilliant and the character of the Genie was written for Robin Williams. However, I am not going to compare the two. I think it’s an unfair comparison, one was a brilliant impression and voice over on a cartoon, the other had to actually act in a live action movie.

Also, Will Smith’s Genie was the best fit for this LA Aladdin. I loved both!

Ishilove:
More awesome than Robin Williams?

Aladdin. I have already watched it 4x. It was very nicely done and ticked all the boxes for this nostalgic 90s kid. It was also a good enough movie to introduce Aladdin to a newer generation. Will Smith was very awesome.

Please you don’t owe strangers on the internet any explanation. For some men, you are a woman, that’s enough for them to say you are the one in the wrong. A woman can never be good, she is always evil.

I am very happy for you that you were able to pick up the pieces and move on. Stay happy, stay strong and stay blessed for you and your kids.

Coolesther:
Paint him black? Lol, he already did that himself, well I don’t really have to explain to you but if you know him ask him if I married him cos of papers. Also ask him why he slept with another nairalander when she came to our house on vacation and when he had an online affair with mother one. I will wait

Spot on. We probably have more possession.

Realhommie:
There's nothing pleasing about them, they haven't done anything spectacular.. They're just fortunate our girls have made costly mistakes which they've capitalized on.

Yea I noticed even the commentator said “Nigeria has an aging team” this will be disgrace o.

Mizwisdom:
She's too old and lazy

This will be a long and bad night

Really? Nairaland @mods the censor for “sh!t” is poo! Ew just the visuals alone poo is worse than sh!t. I thought this forum was for adults.

liberalchick:
Exactly, bride price or not, a man that will maltreat his wife WOULD. In fact there are some Nigerian women that pay their own bride price because their husbands can’t afford it lol and they still get treated like shit.

2-0

Chicken! Me I am watching with alcohol so I can just laugh anyhow even if we are losing

nazablossom:
Football fans how do you do it. I just decided to support our Falcons by watching this match, It didn't last 10 minutes. HBP wan kill me, I'm out of here.

I saw this yesterday. This is just vile, why can’t people just let people be. This is just sad. If Jesus can come back he will not recognize all these people he died for.

Exactly, bride price or not, a man that will maltreat his wife WOULD. In fact there are some Nigerian women that pay their own bride price because their husbands can’t afford it lol and they still get treated like shit.

bukatyne:
@OP:

Before dowry was abolished in Britain, wives gave their husbands yet they were maltreated.

In India, wives still pay dowries yet their husbands treat them like crap.

@cancelation: it was symbolic and part of the rites of marriage and building up another family with the husband as the head.

Yes o that’s if she did not marry in the court. If she did then she can be granted divorce in the court. However, if she did just trad, then the courts will have to refer to the customary laws. Scary stuff.

bukatyne:
So even if she gets a formal divorce, the laws still binds her?

That's bondage.

Marry me!

pocohantas:
Oga, when they come to marry that your sister, tell your father not to collect.

Women should fix the mess you guys made?

When will you people start taking responsibility for your actions?

Even when God asked Adam simple question,
"Adam, where are you?", Adam started to talk another thing.

Centuries later, these sons of Adam are still blaming woman. Oh Gosh!!

Exactly! At a traditional wedding, the male members of the family gather and negotiate on how much the bride is worth. This thread should be addressed to men!

pocohantas:
I have never seen women collect bride price. It is always men collecting and sharing it.

One man pays, comes online to whine.

25yrs later, same man is billing another young man for his daughter.

Men are their own enemies.

Men will never stop collecting bride price, a practice they put in place to validate themselves.

#spits

That’s not Jamil. That’s his child with another woman. I think he had two children before Tiwa.

compton11:
so the boy don grow up like dis！

That’s true too. I probably shouldn’t judge all Nigerian men by the ones here on NL.

Deepfeel:
Same way it's beginning to change in women recognizing their self worth, men are changing too accepting the fact that, women are worth more than what our culture and religion made of them

Trust me they do. The ones here on NL, I can already see some monikers here repeating same misleading talking points I corrected them on in a previous thread. They are willfully ignorant because it confirms their bias. They don’t want to accept that feminism is not as bad as they were previously led to believe. I welcome genuine allies. I appreciate that you are willing to learn and know more about it and for that I thank you.

9jaBloke:
They don't all know ma'am. Some men are too entrenched in the lopsided African tradition, others are too plagued by their shortcomings that the only place they command respect is at home.

The world is moving on very fast... the Perth Agreement, SDGs, Women rights/empowerment and Nigeria needs to tag along.

Congratulations to the new couple.

I always say, define your ideologies, know your values and seek a partner who shares them. Simple. It’s good to always start out a relationship with full disclosure so there wouldn’t be any surprises later. I hope next month this guy will not start a thread here on NL titled “ my wife is not submissive, what should I do?”

They know!! They purposely mischaracterize feminism to derail the movement, they are bad actors. Who doesn’t know feminism has nothing to do with marriage or having kids or cooking for your husband? They already know some famous feminists that are married with children.

9jaBloke:
Feminism is often misinterpreted. It's simply an advocacy for fair treatment of humans irrespective of gender and the total eradication of sexism in social, religious, economic, educational and other activities.
It is not even gender sensitive. An alpha male can be a feminist so long as he actively or passively supports gender equality.

Lots of uninformed people mistake Misandry for Feminism. A true feminist advocates gender equity and gender neutrality. So let's all get rid of the sick notion that feminism translates to man-hating.

The United Nations General Assembly listed Gender Equality as one of the 17 Global goals to be achieved before the year 2030 for sustainable development in the world and here we are in Africa.

I'm a man and a feminist and I offer no apologies.

read my comments na. Seriously, you don’t need to pump to jack your car up again. Go to Amazon.

lefulefu:
ehn sister really u can change ur car tyre? na where u take get strenght to jack d car up? any time u have to change ur car tyre it should be d job of ur husby or boyfwend or any guy close to u at dat moment.

No.

Bossjakande:
are u a christain.am writing a blog now it will be out Sunday afternoon or evening so I can mention u.

Or those female Kurdish fighters that fought ISIS.

AmazonTopaz:
I never brought physical aspect to it you did.
Even when you quoted you never initially stated physical aspect but all of a sudden you have gone there so who is shifting the goal post now.
Besides is physical aspect the only thing that make men superior to women.
Some women are exceptions to such notions.
Soft work hard work yet men and women even though at different percentages still do the so called soft work and hardwork.
Talking about war check on women in the israeli military.

I agree. However, it’s beginning to change though. More women are increasingly starting to recognize their self worth, hence the backlash from men.

Deepfeel:
Nigerian women Don't have high self-esteem, the training they got from their parents even contributes to their low self-esteem, most of them don't know their worth, marrying a rich man is an ultimate achievement for most of them in life, they see themselves as weaker vessels like their religion make believe, they see men as superior, even those women richer than men, give men money to pay for their bride price, to show they are under a man, the problem is right from the African culture and religion
