Southport stabbing: Two children dead, 11 people hurt in knife rampage with six kids and two adults 'who bravely tried to protect them' fighting for life after 'boy, 17, launched horror attack' at Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop

Two children have died and nine others are injured - six critically - after a horror attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop on Monday.

Armed police and paramedics swooped on the town of Southport, Merseyside, just before midday after a knifeman walked into the dance school and launched a 'ferocious attack' that left mothers arriving to pick up their kids screaming in horror

Already some "Nigerians" have began insulting Nigeria even when South Africa is blatantly in the wrong or the one that should be in the spotlight defending self. And Nigerians are doing so without even using thire heads to consider that the organisers of the event in South Africa are possibly ruthlessly exploiting the situation for extra publicity. Even before the advent of Social Media, no publicity is bad publicity was a well-worn refrain.

In addition to the inhumanity of the situation, disregard for all you people's vaunted Africa unity, they don't even possess mortality.

Had this situation been in Nigeria, an army of "Nigerians" would have taken to social media to insult everyone in Nigeria, call for the dissolution of the organising body if not the country itself, insult their ancestors for allowing them to be born in Nigeria, shout that no civilised nation would do such a thing and so on.

I'm not a fan of arrogant poor people. Nigeria's poor seem very arrogant and entitled. I blame religion and the Nigeria education system that is based on Western models. Hidden within the pages of Western education is blue print for hating, subjugating, undermining and imbuing of superiority over peoples of Africa descent. Is it a wonder then that the Nigeria masses nurtured on generic mass Western education grow up self hating and obsessed with poorly understood meaning of Revolution?

Ugliest, stupidest, dirty looking morons mouthing revolution up and down

Everything is, corruption; wicked elites; pot belied leaders: eat the rich; the poor man; witches and wizards; they stole our money; they did this, they did that".

Every single slogan originally penned by white people. Youths seeing themselves and thire societies through the eyes of the West instead of for themselves....

Protecting Nigerians’ vital right to protest

Nigerians, Americans and the British do not have the Right to Protest, they have the right to Peacefully protest. This isn't pedantic but vital to spell out. It is not something that need not be stated because it is implied without saying. You need to emphasis the edict in it's entirety always. You have right of Peaceful Protest in most democracies including Nigeria. A none peaceful protest, is a Riot. You only have the natural rights to Riot not a lawful one.

Shawarmagirl:
If you burn all these things as mentioned, you bring more untold hardship to the masses

Should such a simple and obvious fact be this difficult for would be Revolutionaries to grasp that they require it being pointed out to them?

Revolutionaries, individuals that are meant to be so brilliant and full of ideas they believe they can replace an entire system with a newer better model!

Why the complaints, is MTN food?

Abeg go and protest, nothing else matters

We are hungry!

What's the essence of this post now? Anyways 9ja no be uk

Perhaps to illustrate the West's double standards. Here you have relatively harmless protest leaders in the UK, one of the three nations that symbolizes the "West", being jailed for 4/5 years. Yet, nations like the UK are foremost in encouraging youths of the foremost stupidest African nations to act as they like because doing so is merely expressing thire democratic rights. And any African government action against Africa youths demonstrating thire "democratic rights" however violently will be deemed authoritarian by the West, incurring severe repercussions by the international community controlled by the West.


Due to this reality, Africa youths often have at the back of thire minds that the West is on thire side. And this is true. The West is always on the side of Africa youths but not for altruistic reasons, not for anything remotely to do with support for progressive, democratic principles of governance. This is why I always say that the Youths of Africa are tools of the West everybit as owned and controlled as terrorists, coup plotters, world trade systems and the rest.

When Pan Africanists types brainwash youths of Africa that thire leaders work for the West, they should not forget that Youths of Africa are also owned by the West.

Not all Nigerians agree with the protests, they also have rights. I'm sure the Right to Protest under the constitution does not include a subsection that declares this right overrides every other rights.

Suddenly the organisers of a protest against, what some of them would dearly love to couch as protest against bad government, are themselves becoming a dictatorship.

Planned Protests: Suspend BBNaija - Human Rights Advocate by bolabizzle

See stupidity.





Maybe government should suspend internet too since it is very distracting. Suspend mobile masts, as well, arguing that many, including security personnel, watch BB online.


Nigeria youth are not ready for revolutionary change, they remain immature and mislead by the West.

The horse in Nigeria cost of arms should be replaced with SNAIL

Which might be apt since all Nigerians seem to think of these days is food.

Good job, but that won't stop the coming protest

After the protests will there be feasts ?

Gistmedia10:
A young Nigerian entrepreneur is grappling with profound distress after thieves ransacked his yet-to-launch gadget shop, stealing goods worth millions of naira and causing extensive damage. This unfortunate event has left the aspiring business owner devastated.

In a video posted online, the entrepreneur, visibly heartbroken, expressed his anguish by saying, "The shop I'm yet to launch, see what thieves did. What man did to man." The footage reveals the severity of the damage, showcasing broken walls and dismantled burglar-proof installations, highlighting the thoroughness with which the thieves executed their plan.

The shop, which was set to offer a variety of high-tech gadgets, had its shelves emptied by the burglars who made away with valuable items, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices. This significant loss has been a major setback for the young entrepreneur who had high hopes for his new business venture.


What a wicked world!

My Cobo's worth:

Firstly, though worthless, he has our sympathy. Hope he doesn't give up.

Secondly, we probably need a better insurance industry in Nigeria.

Thirdly isn't this like a tale of a nation's citizen? In the same Nigeria economic climate, one youth has the gumshoe, forbearance, courage, and drive to set up a business, while another youth has only mouth to complain about what government is not doing for him. Civil society does not like the first type of Nigerian, who is business minded and a striver, this is evident in civil society never making this type of Nigerian the object of international recognition, example and concerns. Civil society likes the second type of Nigerian, evident in elevating this type of Nigerian's endless complaints about suffering and what government is not doing for him, internationally right across social media. It is also arguable that due to the support that the second type of Nigerian receives, both in Nigeria and internationally, is why he may go out to rob and destroy the nascent business of the first type of Nigerian, embolden by focus on economic climate. The uselessness and deviancy of character possessed by the second type of Nigerian will be lost by civil society wailing and using his acts as a weapon against government, claiming that his criminality was caused by economic hardship everyone should blame on government.

Industrious Nigerian Youth Express Shock After Seeing How People Practice Farming In Asia

She may be shocked too if she studies how they eat. My Jamaican girlfriend is always outraged when she hears Nigerians complaining of hunger. She believe that what Nigerians seem to consider small meal is like a feast in many parts of the world. She dose not believe that people elsewhere don't have access to food only that they don't eat as heftily and lavishly as Nigerians. I point out that she is influenced by Nigeria online cooks and restaurant owners showcasing Nigeria foods. In addition, I point out that Nigerians reference of Hunger may be metaphoric; that is, hunger as a symbol of paucity of life chances, development and hope.

Part 2

Recall the following incident quoted bellow:

Call to boycott Black hair stores after woman is assaulted

Unnamed Black woman was filmed being manhandled around hair store
CALLS HAVE been growing to boycott Black hair care stores not owned by Black people in the wake of a woman who was filmed being “assaulted”. 

The shocking footage was shared to social media yesterday (11th September) which shows an unnamed woman who allegedly went to the store to refund hair extensions at a hair shop on Rye Lane, Peckham.

It was claimed her request was refused and she was seen being dragged in the store by a South Asian man who had his hand around her neck and her arms pinned behind her.
The distressed woman cries out for others to look and for someone to record the chaos.

She repeatedly shouted: “Call the police, call the police! Call the f***king police! Call the f***king police…This man just strangled me, this man just strangled me. Get the f**k off me.” 
The 31-year-old woman was allegedly attempting to to steal items before the altercation, the police said.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of assault and later bailed pending further enquiries.
The footage was circulated widely on social media including by Black femicide charity, For Black Women UK and Sistah Space. Hundreds are calling for the unnamed man to be arrested and charged.

The incident, which took place at Peckham Hair and Cosmetics, is understood to be a South Asian-owned store selling mainly hair and beauty products catered towards Black women. 
CCTV footage of before and after the incident is understood to have been captured. 

Kanye Kawasaki, a Black historian, addressed the uproar on his social media and encouraged Black people to start buying their hair products from Black-owned retailers instead.
“Long term we need to practise economic justice, starting with boycotting that shop until the person in question is reprimanded. Further to that, we have had our own experiences in these ‘Afro’ hair shops; being followed from aisle to aisle, bad service etc.

Sometimes it feels as though Nigerians in "All" fields abroad are targeted in an overall international drive aimed at disempowering Black People. Certain criminal enterprises have international economic implications beyond the common man's simple moral understanding of crime and deviancy. A sizeable proportion of my persona pie chart is Observation. I am a Watcher. Over the years, I have observed Nigerian businesses in the part of UK that I reside systemically taken down by the exploitation of health and safety regulations not applied to the business of other communities. Often black people from other communities are used in sting/ under cover operations against Nigerian businesses.

Part 1

Masqueraders had better be careful they're not eaten by youths this coming protest.

Black Youths disrespecting culture, no doubt, psychologically influenced by imagined white people's negative view of our culture and not in the least troubled by the inherent stupidity and weakness of viewing your worth through the prism of others.

If you're too stupid to understand the value of respecting your culture, or and not wise enough to see that dialogue is the best way of resolving aspects of your primordial culture for which you're unsatisfied, then you're not a reliable person for interest groups to thrust responsibility upon for national change through nation wide protests.


This is part of my reasons for distrusting any protests in Nigeria sold as Youth lead.

Only minor highway blocking inconvenience, these people were sentenced 4 to 5 years in prison by UK Judge. Imagine what UK would hand down if protestors had ripped up asphalt , smashed cars and killed and ate highway police officers.


Sorry, but I cant get over the fact Nigeria youths killed police men, cooked and eat them during End Sars protest.

This was even posted online boastfully!

Environmental activists sentenced to harsh prison terms over mere UK highway protest.

Five activists of the Just Stop Oil environmental campaign have been handed prison sentences for their involvement in organizing protests that blocked a major London highway in 2022, PA media reported, sparking a wave of criticism from climate advocates.

‘Just Stop Oil’ co-founder Roger Hallam, 58, Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, and Cressida Gethin, 22, agreed to cause disruption to traffic by having protesters climb onto gantries over the M25 highway that encircles London for four successive days in November 2022, Judge Christopher Hehir said at the sentencing hearing at a court in the British capital on Thursday, according to the UK news agency.

Hallam was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment while the remaining four defendants were each handed four years in prison each.

Foolish man stepping on foreign toes.

UAE, for instance, exports refined petroleum products to Nigeria and enjoys robing Nigerians noses in humiliation in Dubai. In real terms, UAE barley has any power over Nigeria commensurate with the level of humiliation they perpetuate over Nigerians in Dubai and because of Dubai. Yet the tiny thing they can boast about, which is refined petroleum they export to Nigeria, Dangote wants to deprive them. What will UAE have over Nigeria, should Dangote Refinery supplant thire product? The only other leverage they have is the desperation of Nigeria's Muslim Elites love of being seen in Dubai.

Since the youths are in the need of a protest demand, maybe they should protest in demand for the resignation of NNPC top hierarchy + NMDPRA boss, Farouk Ahmed, if such a thing is possible.

This entire situation exemplifies why I oppose Nigeria moving towards a "One Africa" model. Here you have Nigeria youths preparing for major protests across Nigeria because Kenyans are protesting in Kenya. This suggests that if Cameroonians were to burn down Cameroon in protest against Biya's dictatorship, Nigerian youths might respond similarly by burning down Nigeria.


Tired of thinking, or no longer capable of it, we are going to pretend that in line with African American dreams of one Africa, Wakanda, all Africans are the same, think the same, are bedeviled by same issues. We are going to conveniently forget that Africa is home to the most diverse human populations on earth and settle for externally created stereotypes of us as mere unremarkable Africans with "corrupt, pot-belly, leaders " and "stupid oppressed citizenry"

nairalanda1:
SO, we should all keep quiet and look as NIgeria continues to have bad leaders, because your side is in power?

Better stop supporting sides. The leaders of the side you support and the leaders of the side they support are laughing at both of you.

As long as a nation practices multi party politics, there will always be "bad leaders". If or when Obi leads Nigeria, the opposition will ensure millions of Nigerians see him as a Bad Leader, regardless of what he does for Nigeria. Millions of America see Biden as a bad leader.
