Glad you had a good time. Please report these experiences to others who think all Nigerians are nothing but scammers and unfriendly.We need ambassadors like you to share their positive experiencies with others.

yeah right.

Ambassadors to what?

She's just a thirsty white galie that got a hold to an igbo man. Of course she's in heaven. She could have pulled that from her internet.

Damn!

Nairobi have fugged up SLUMS too.

If people HATE nigerians it is because you have EARNED it.

Here in Amerikka, I tried to get to know the Nigerians at the school I once attended. I asked them valid questions about Nigerial

What's life like in Nigeria?

and I got short, choppy anwsers.

Never did anyone go on a tangent and tell me WONDERFUL stories about their home town.

Unfortunately, I took it as an afront. I did not know that they did not want me to know the truth.

Furthermore,

Nigerians are some very jealous people. They associate everything with what they see. They want everything that is not nailed down.

I do not HATE Nigerians, but i do dislike MOST of them. You EARNED this disdain. Then again its in YOUR CULTURE to be disliked.

Your culture lack morals, character and substance.

Therefore most nigerians lack morals. Which is why you are not liked.

Despite Nigeria being well endowed with God(Master), you as their servants elected leaders who dug a hole in their pockets instead of doing business and feeding your people.Despite your oil and other resources you havent done much where by the country is riddled with crime,poverty,corruption, tribalism, racism, secterianism etc. Of the ones i have written tell me which isnt true. unlike,

True!

poor Nigeria. She need a reprieve from her enslavers.

The GOVERNMENT!

lol oyin thanks! I guess i have more enemies than friends. Cheesy

AND I AM ONE OF THEM!!!!

You EARNED each and every last one of your enemies.

You are bitter, nasty, tart, and decrepit. You hate anyone that is not from that stank Nigerian soil.

While every one with some sense is trying to get away from that soil. You sit here in Amerikkka and COMPLAIN!

You can never be satisfied, content or happy. Therefore, the problem lies within you.

Oh,

btw, Happy birthday - Chump!

D.C. has a LARGE Nigerian immigrant population.

Don't get this twisted. D.C. is also a small city.

ITS TRUE!!!!

You mofo's obviously DO NOT HAVE EMAIL ACCOUNTS.

Do you know what its like to get 50 friggin Emails from the 419'ers?

Your THIEVES ARE ANNOYING!!!!!

Everybody in america that have an email account knows of nigerian crimminals. EVERYBODY!!!!!

what Obama said is common knowledge.

Why do Nigerians HATE the truth?

***********************

When you people can stop hiding your seedy ways is when your people will step out of poverty.

No fear, I don't see it happening either

HYPOCRITES!!!!

Say one thing, do another.

The way of the nigerian. I cannot see this changing - because your government wants to keep you oppressed, dumb, stupid and believing in bullshit religions - THAT DON'T WORK.

then again, poor folks gotta believe in something to help them deal with the HARDSHIPS of life.

but why you gotta believe your children are witches?

There is NOTHING in Nigeria the world needs or wants.

There is NOTHING is Nigeria worthy of a mention.

and the people you are exporting are worse.

Nigeria is the EPITOME of disease, ills, fraud, corruption, and SICK government.

Obama is SMART for avoiding that FAILED state.

Hell, ya'll don't even take care of your people.

At least GHANA is trying.



********************

why are Nigerians taking it personally that Obama will not set foot in their ([b]rotten flesh) [/b]of a country?

Nigeria is the GIANT of poverty.

Giant in terms of African population means more impoverished people.

Religion = poverty.

Poor people are more likely to grab onto religion to help them through their ILLS.

Rich people rarely believe in god.

An academician is someone that can experiment,theorize,formularize,practicalize and make manifest

Institutionalize education like we have in africa is brain washing and retarding,we study and subject ourselves to the works and theories of fallable mortals as if they are infallables,unquestionable authorities,like religion and thereby depriving us the abilities to think for ourselves and little surprise afrcan academicians are docile and unproductive.

I agree.

Some Africans REFUSE to retrain their brain.

and, some of them live to REPEAT what others have told them.

that's just stupid.

I was in the United States Military.

Those pictures are very disturbing.


If that is suppose to be punishment. It does nothing for the soldier.

The United States will have you do unlimited push-up or sit-ups or some other physical exercise that will BUILD your body.

These punishable exercises does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Its vacant and empty.

Shell, Nigerian families settle suit for $15.5 million


What's a measly $15 Million dollars. They should have gotten 15 BILLION!!!!

the Lawyers sold them out.

NEW YORK, June 8 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) has agreed to pay $15.5 million to settle several lawsuits related to the executions of protesters in Nigeria in the 1990s, lawyers for both sides said on Monday.

The settlement came as the more than decade-long dispute was due to go to trial in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, said Paul Hoffman, a lawyer for the victims' families who had brought the cases along with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights.

The lawsuit accused Shell of human rights abuses in the Niger Delta region, including violations connected with the 1995 hangings of author and environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other protesters by Nigeria's then-military government.

"We litigated with Shell for 13 years and, at the end of the day, the plaintiffs are going to be compensated for the human rights violations they suffered," Hoffman said.

"Had we tried the case and won, the plaintiffs were still looking at years of appeals," he said.

Hoffman said that $5 million would go into a trust for the benefit of the Ogoni people. The rest of the money would go to lawyers' fees and compensation for the families.

"Shell has always maintained the allegations were false," said Malcolm Brinded, Shell's executive director for exploration and production.

"While we were prepared to go to court to clear our name, we believe the right way forward is to focus on the future for Ogoni people, which is important for peace and stability in the region," he said.

"This gesture also acknowledges that, even though Shell had no part in the violence that took place, the plaintiffs and others have suffered," Brinded said.

The original lawsuits were brought under a 1789 U.S. statute, the Alien Tort Claims Act, allowing noncitizens to file cases in U.S. courts for human rights abuses occurring overseas.

The lawsuits sought unspecified damages from Shell for backing the jailing, torturing and killing of the protesters as well as for polluting the region's air and water.

Nigeria is the world's eighth biggest oil exporter.

The protesters, who campaigned nonviolently for a fairer share of Nigeria's oil wealth for the poor and against environmental damage by the industry, had been convicted of murder in a trial that human rights groups labeled a sham.

Protests led by Saro-Wiwa forced Shell in 1993 to abandon its oil fields in Ogoniland, a tiny part of the Niger Delta whose people Saro-Wiwa represented.

Reached by phone in London, Wiwa's son, Ken Saro-Wiwa Jr., 40, who was a plaintiff in the case, said the settlement was a vindication for his family.

"We felt we had already got the victory," he said of the settlement. "We got the precedent that a corporation can be used for human rights violations in a U.S. court."

A multinational company has never been found liable of human rights abuses by a U.S. jury, but a few have settled out of court. The Shell case would have been the third to go to trial and the second involving a major oil company.

In December, a federal jury in San Francisco cleared Chevron Corp (CVX.N) of liability sought by Nigerians for a violent clash on an oil platform off their country's coast more than a decade ago.

The cases are: Wiwa et al v Royal Dutch Shell et al 96-08386; Wiwa et al v Anderson et al 01-01909: and Wiwa v Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited 08-1803 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Manhattan) (Reporting by Edith Honan; Editing by Leslie Gevirtz and Ted Kerr)
