nurexg:

yup sorry 4 not telling this from the begging of the threat.

the so called oprah applied for Nigerian citizenship but the Nigeria government refuses saying that she is too ugly, becose there is no tribe in Nigeria that she can claim.

i guess thats why she said that. and weather she likes it or not Dngote is richer than her.

and she can never claim america hahahaha but as for us, thank god we have a country. Nigeria

heart beat of Africa.

Really? Please OBJ and Oprah who fine pass oh

somze:

Afam
She did not say these things and it has been shown. Please go through the thread.

Militia
Crowd? If they're all nice folks why not

Na trouble you dey find so!

tkb417:

@Militia
i think your comments really lacks humour, i wont say more than that. you labbled opah credible! Please, lets know the[b] basis for your 'tag'[/b]. if she had really said that about Nigeria. Then, i doubt if shes really got the temperament to maintain her 'credibility' So much happens in the States, bank robberies,gun wielding,sex-attack,etc. i think we can still remember the virginia tech incident. i don't think she came out to label the koreans as murderers.

All the hue and cry about Nigeria is uncalled for. no matter how Nigeria is, we still hold our own anywhere in the world. im sure you know a Nigerian is the VP of worldbank. Thats an enviable position a criminal and fraudster would never attain no matter the intensity of the lobbying. So, is Okonjo not a Nigerian anymore? she had better start making sence or. i[b] think Militia too needs to start reading and understanding in between the lines[/b]. she was wrong if really did say so. 419 is a social menace we all need to curb. usa also has got a whole lot of social ills they need to do a lot about.

@ all
all americans no matter the level of education are fornicators,adulterers etc. imagine someone in Nigeria saying that and going ahead to say Nigeria should severe tieswith america so as not to contact hiv. does that make sence? im sure it doesnt.

but doesnt an average american have sex before age 14. we all have issues. she has her own. God says we should marry and bear children. how come she isnt married. shes a witch for real. i hate her for all these

Please when ever that kain kain clears from your eyes, re-read your posts ok?  Sorry I can't understand  this your "yahoo" medium of communication!!!! Seun needs to ask people for W.A.S.C or W.A.E.C or G.C.E or or G.S.S. results or whatever it is called now in Nigeria with a minimum of 9 credits to log on to Nairaland!!!! What is this

When did I "labbled" Opah as credible  If you provide evidence of this then I can perhaps let you know the[b] "basis of my tag"!!![/b]

sylvao2000:

@Militia you are always every were when will you ever change though sometimes you talk like a mature person but most time just like loose apple.


l feel so sorry for you were are you really from Nigeria or were if you agree with oprah that average Nigerian is corrupt then you are part the cause.

Be wise be reasonable and change before is too late ok that is just what l have for you now

E DON HAPPEN!!! Look!  If you call Militia one more time, Seun's beeper will go off!!!  He is tired of receiving complaints about Militia!  Sorry!!! I cannot change darling.  I am married to all Nairalanders here, including you!  If you do not like me the way I am, please feel free to get a divorce!!! And please pay my legal fees too!   I have accepted all of you for your rudeness and sheer boredom! If you are tired of "our" marriage please file a divorce ok!

Now this thread is becoming interesting!!!

teefunk:

I have read a lot of the comments on this topic and most of the points have been made. Please channel them to those that need to hear - Osuofia, Maleke, The Netherlands Police, Nigerian Foreign Misnistry, Nigerians in the Diaspora and of course the millions of Nigerians at home. While I do not want to make this an affront on any one I do need to comment about two people in contrast.

Militia: I have thoroughly enjoyed your comments and you have made very good points that many Nigerians will always find hard to accept. From what you have said, I deduce that you did not and do not advocate racism. Few people can see that. You have proferred what is called intelligence - which is what CIA, FBI, MI6 and other relevant security agencies use in making their nations great. They do not stand and shout and be blinded by frivolities of situations like EFCC, SSS and the numerous Nigerians making a whole lot of empty noise on this forum. Militia, I hold you in high regard. You are intelligent and well-spoken.

Egoldman: I will try to make this quick and painless and refrain from the very words you have used on other people in this forum. To start with, you strike me as someone who needs to have his ego massaged at all times. This is the very problem Osuofia suffered from and was duly given a panacea by the Dutch Police. I am quite interested to know where you live at the moment.

You strike me as still being a narrow-minded person (living in Nigeria), who has refused to take advantage of the many facets of Media and Communication to broaden his worldview.

If, however, you live in one of the developed countries, then I really don't see the point. All you have done is to scream "racism"; then what?! You have refused to profer a solution that will be of benefit to others. You have failed to add value to society. Yet, the only contribution you can lay claim to in this forum is that you created it. Big deal.

I can create 100 forums in a few minutes. I have decided to stop here as any further attempt to rationalise you will take me down to the level of social reasoning you are. Please, take my criticism in good faith.

Thank you jare!!!  I am glad that some of you understand!!!!  But CHEI! CHEI! CHEI!    Naija people sabi yab no be small!!!  See as you just cut down this big bros--egoldman to pint size!!!!    With some serious lashing and quiet bombs!!!!    Even me dey fear you!!!! Kai!!!!  Please egoldman, stop insulting people and let us enjoy this thread.

romeo:

i[b] am not Egoldman but i think you are very stupid saying all this on your first post in Nairaland[/b], or maybe you are one of those people egoldman disagreed with and you went and created a different account just to come here and attack him!! that's so lame of you

@topic
i[b] am surprised that some people see the raid as something normal!! [/b] the police doesn't need a public gathering to round up illegal immigrants any where in Europe, they can wait outside the venue of the show and control people coming from there if they wanted to do things normally but they chose to insult our people. I can not imagine a situation like this in Spain where i live!!

are we worse than Islamic fundamentalist? they have their mosques and meeting places every where in Holland and have even killed a prominent dutch film maker, but the they will never raid them for fear of repercussion, so we must protest against such treatments because one of you people might be tempted to visit Holland any day and find yourself in such situation and the humiliations will by then be worse

What type of pleasure do you derive from insulting people  You may not be egoldman, but you sure sound like him---calling people stupid!!!

charlione:

dude u don't have to be rude.understand that everyone has a right to an opinion.that is what i understand this forum to be about.

Not when we have the type of reputation we have.u live in spain,good,so when the police raid u question them?
Please get this straight,OSUOFIA IS NOT THE MOST POPULAR NIGERIAN ABROAD AT THE MOMENT.His reference to the whites as Mugu in his song is an insult they are yet to come to terms with.
Having said all this,i bliv that the solution to this problem will come from within and it will take time.We have to build back d reputation of this country so that we will be respected again.

@militia, i understand u perfectly.u try to might light of these situations to mask[b] the pain u really feel.they do affect u because u are a Nigerian.[/b]

I have learned that humour  is the best remedy to pain and humiliation.  It really makes the pain more bearable.  If not you will become a psycho--looking for someone to kill out of frustration!!! Is it worth it Like some Nigerians over here now, killing people and carrying guns about!!! 

All because of frustration and lack of appreciation from Oyinbo people.  It will never be my portion!!! They do not have that kind of power over me to make a fool of myself for their amusement!!!  All they will say is -- here comes another Nigerian!!! I cannot give them that satisfaction!!! NEVER!!!!  I hate to see that look of ice cold satisfaction on their faces when they feel they have power over you!  Why Nigerians cannot understand that beats me!

Please, I have noticed that it is very Nigerian to be rude.  Once you disagree with a typical Nigerian, you have made an enemy.  I guess when you are used to being in a "dictatorship" government, you subconsciously became a dictator yourself.  This means everyone has to agree with you and you risk being condemned if you do not agree with your dictator's wishes.  

I believe you cannot have an opinion whatsoever!!!  That is why Osuofia and Co. found themselves in the mess they did.  For this type of behaviour!!!  It is a real shame oh!  We need to change.  It is highfully amusing that most Nairaland users will try to "bully" others into submision when there is disagreement. With insults and ridicule!

Can you imagine trying to bully someone on a web page Someone you do not even know That is how sick the situation is!    Then you can imagine what they do to their husbands, wives, children and relatives.  That means you will get the beating of your life for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, if you disagree with your almighty "dictator"!!! My gosh!!!  Na wah for wire road!!!!!

superman:

militia i dnt get u sometimes u know. anyway the problem here is there are just too many fake nigerians out there. what happen over there, which ever way u look at it is just takin a piss.

now action plan

lets fix up nigeria quickly which is still feasible as it will always be and plan for revenge just like the Russia.

once again what happen in Holland is a disrespect to all Nigerians

it just that these foolish nigerians think they know but they dnt ! god knows

Nonesense

Shwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!  That is why I am interesting!!!!  If you "get" me "always" then I will become a "BORING COW" !!!!!


You need to fix Nigeria quickly oh!!! Yes it is a disrespect. But we need to respect ourselves first!!!!

Sure!!! If you like crowds!!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! See Love oh!!! Guguru and ekpa love!!!

spikedcylinder:

@ militia
Yea, good for you. Each to his own but when you are making your statements or "laughing at yourself" remember that there are some true Nigerians who love their country and might take offence. . . but you don't care about who takes offence or who doesnt. . . .afterall, you are western.

Please who are they ---Pray tell me!!!  My ears are burning!!!   Yes oh!!!  I am from the deep south--From Texas!!!!  As a "western oyinbo african" I love Nigeria more than 99.9999999999% of all-o-y'aaaaaall!!!!!
_{If your Nigerian and you know clap your hands---- clap clap!!!!!}


BTW, when you are in Rome, the police expects you to obey simple instructions!!!! They do not care if you are the "MAIN PERFORMER" OR "SIDEKICK"!!!!!

Let us wait and see if we will read anything new when we get to page 25 of this thread.-----------  _{Till then chilling under bed watching cartoons!!!!!}

doyin13:

How do threads manage to get so off track.

This thread is meant to be about BARACK OBAMA

When the thread gets boring!!!!!!!

onuku:

GUYS,

DO Y'ALL KNOW THAT NUMBER THREE (3) IN THE LIST, LARRY AJIERO IS A MEMBER OF THE IMO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY REPRESENTING IDEATO NORTH.

You expert us to be surprised Please talk something else jo!!!!

Jakumo:

Many Nigerians leave their home country with an exaggerated and delusional sense of self-importance that arises from the "Do you know who I am ?" mentality that is so prevalent in their homeland.

This ailment is generally cured when they ask a white cop if he/she knows who they are, and the Nigerian traveler is then afforded the opportunity to spend some time in cuffs and custody, which, it turns out, is one of the more effective ways for a totally unknown skinny or pot-bellied African to learn his TRUE place in Western society.

I believe this educational process is known as an "attitude adjustment", and it generally triggers a profound change in world-view for all graduating students. Nothing like a good old-fashioned reality check to cure the grandiose pomposity of a "free born" Nigerian black man once and for all.

Well said!!!  Please say it again!!!!!

@SpikedCylinder

Oh! I am not a Nigerian because I say the obvious facts abi Sorry, I am not given to cheap sentiments where Nigerian is concerned. I love Nigeria like I love any of my kids--but the last thing I will do is glorify or cover her deficiencies since she has refused to change for the better!!!! Besides, if we cannot laugh at ourselves, then we are not ready to move ahead!!!

mamaput:

These police that came are a special troop trained for demonstrations and riots.
I will agree with you that they should not have come in the first place but when they did come they acted in the norm. The same way they would handle football hooligans or even white teenagers gone amok.
One of my kids walked into something like that not too long ago and fled into a bar to wait for it to be all over,
They arrested a lot of kids for just talking took alot of vidios to get more and sized all handys.
They police had ask everyone to go home but some die hards still had to open their mouth.
One boy wanted to go and look before he knew were he was he recived a blow on the head with a stick(batton),
They had the whole programm dogs vidios magaphones hand cuffs and whatever

mamaput:

I forgot to say most of them were white .

Okay then!!! egoldman---Is this racism  There is nothing that "scatters" these Oyinbo police them heads than when they tell you "no" you say "yes"!!!  They already believe we are "animals" from Africa---So why give them the chance to "humiliate" you more.  They will just capture you on their home videos and use you for their personal entertainment in their living rooms on "how they caught an African monkey"  I say do not even give them the slightest satisfaction.  They have the guns and all what not so what are you going to prove  The fact that someone calls me an animal does not mean I have to answer to that name. Not only do we answer to the name we are called by these Oyinbo peeps, we prove beyond any reasonable doubt that we are indeed animals by trying to "prove' whatever by disobeying simple instructions!!!

As much as I like to argue--one thing I will never do is to "argue" with an American police man.  You never know where you are going to end up.--Like my family has money to come and bail me out of "Guantanamo Bay" I am charged with "terrorism"? You guys are not serious!!!  American passport or not.  My arse is black and with a "funny" accent.  What will I tell my children So please there is a place and time for everything.  Look at the environment you are in and then act accordingly.  It is called "EXPOSURE" and USE OF "COMMON SENSE"!!!!

Mariory:

I have always said, the problem with Nigeria are Nigerians.

How true!!! The saddest part is we have denied it and now believe the problem is the "outside" world.

egoldman:

and below is what u called the norm ?
This time she was not shoved around though even challenged them , tell me what makes her different from osuofia who was shoved around because he asked what the problem was .the norm my arse .

now what was makele's crime ?  

i would suggest that you read the story very well .

Have you ever watched Maleke in performance Look,all this is just about making a mountain out of a mole hill. I repeat,-------- when we Nigerians are out of Nigeria,we act like we are in Nigeria and think everything is the same.  No!!!!!  You need to examine the environment you are in and behave accordingly.  How many times do we arrest foreigners in Nigeria

Once again egoldman, you failed to answer the question.  What do you mean by being a "better" Nigerian  What specific advice will you give Nigerians to prevent things like this from re-occurring?  Our consulate, if any, can address the "Dutchie" Police on the diplomatic level.  We know that this is your thread, but you need not prolong it longer that necessary if you have no concrete solutions to the problem.  We have read consistently about your frustrations of the events. Okay!!!!  Can we please move past that?   Solutions please!!!!!

egoldman:

If i would decide to be a better Nigerian and you do same also , then i think that would be a good start , we all know where we are coming short of expectation .

Respect authority when you are out of Nigeria even if you do not respect the one in Nigeria.   We need to learn to "obey" simple instructions without trying to offer explanations for things we were not asked.   Obey first and then complain later!!!  You cannot be asked to "move to one side of the stage" and you "decide to come down the stairs" to explain that you are the "MAIN PERFOMER" !!!  No one asked you.

You are a guest so do not abuse your host's hospitality by being uncoperative---if you want the host to be gracious to you.  The host has the upperhand in this case since you are not a Micheal Jackson or Akron who will bring a lot of money to Netherlands with your "MAIN PERFORMERS". So we should learn to obey simple instructions so we do not seem unruly and combative.  This is a pure case of miscommunication not "racism"!!!!  Both sides contributed to the escalation of the events---PERIOD!!!

egoldman:

Dutch police were wrong with what they did at that show , which ever way you look at it , they are wrong , its 100% racism .

Okay they are wrong!!! What can we do to remedy the situation What can we do to prevent this from happening again Getting Upset eternally will not help the situation. What can we do to stop us from getting embarrassed outside Nigeria. We cannot do much about "racists" cops when visiting other countries, but we can work from our own ends to prevent things like this. So egoldman---what do you suggest

redsun:

@militia,is that your photograph in your profile?that's interesting.Are you a nigerian american or a true born?

I am very proud to say I am a true born  and bred for the first 23 years of my life!!!!

@denex

You are doing a good job so far---no need to interrupt and ruin the thread!!! So just _{-------observing!!!!}

Yes oh!!!! I say who wan die make im die!!!!

crazykid:

Militia, how old are you?

I mean three kids with that young face

Ah-ah!!! Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmm I think I forgot my age!!! Too old! So an old lady cannot have a young face

blue-sky:

is that including your self. How can people believe something that has no proof.

Na so we see am oh!!!

You guys are so unpatriotic--- NO NIGERIAN MOVIES!!!!   Please oh! "Mines" is the famous "kissing' scene between Kenneth Okonkwo and Diamond Igwe in the Nigerian home video/movie  GOVERNMENT HOUSE!!! Na die!!!!!
