saajus: You should understand what I am saying. The caption "Nigerian man in Dallas who killed his wife called 911 to confess"and the 4 videos attached are not necessary. The rest of the story is true. The video is a skit but the way the story present it as if the skit was actually the real 911 call. Yes, the videos can be used for awareness but not to be presented like real.
The word reenactment is written above the videos. Do you know what it means? Both the first and second posts contain words that show that these are illsutrations for the topic under discussion!
It's as simple as ABC.
The people that commented on the first page easily understood this
saajus: Whether reenactment or not, fake news is fake news. In fact, nairaland should have removed the post since it was clarified that the 911 call was acting, The stories are not fake news but why attaching skit with real stories
IT IS NOT NEWS!!! Can't you understand?? This is a discussion topic, not a news item.
blank: @Naptu, I respect you too much to go into a back and forth with you. Please read through my write up and see that the Abiodun Ladepo person is being disingenuous. His write up is full of half truths and totally made up stories. Half truths are worse than the outright lies because of the way it messes with people's minds.
Regarding the second post, you can clearly see that the author wrote this.
[Author’s note: Although these are true stories, all the names and some of the details of the incidents have been altered as a mark of respect to the families involved. All of the killer husbands noted in these stories were found guilty. Most of them received the death sentence. Only the California and Maryland culprits received life sentences without the possibility of parole.]
saajus: How many times will this be clarified. The guy that acted this and his wife came out several times to tell people not use their videos to propagate fake news
patani: This whole thing was an acted script by a guy called @jidensky and his wife @mrs_jidensky on Instagram...stop propagating lies
1. The David Ochola story is a Kenyan story that happened in Germany (allegedly). Story might be totally made up as I can't see a single news source with the actual crime. Every single story in this write up was lifted from this Kenyan blog with some of the names changed. Please understand that plagiarism is illegal. See a link to the 2014 story. https://mkenyaujerumani.de/2014/02/12/of-diasporan-men-who-import-wives-from-villages-in-africa/
2. The people who did a skit or small drama with the 911 call have come out to say that it wasn't a real call but they were trying to build awareness of what they feel is happening in the US. I am yet to uncover this so called true life story of Azuibuike and his wife.
Every year, this same topic will come out on Nairaland and be pushed to the front page. It's annoying really.
This is not a news story! Or can't you see the word reenactment clearly written at the top of the post?? Don't you know what renactment means??

Furthermore, as I said before, that is not a news piece it is an opinion piece. The names of the people involved have been changed and the video is a re-enactment, that is, a dramatisation of events that happened.
A news item might have a time limit, but opinions are forever.
I created the thread so that people would discuss a topic and not to report a news item.
tot: Then state clearly that it is HISTORICAL stuff as well as the date, rather than presenting it as new information as clearly that is a misrepresentation otherwise.. I don't know what you've posted in the past, that's not my concern.
Topic: Nigerian Men Killing Their Wives In The United States. No mention of it being historical, so clearly a misrepresentation
1) I did not craft that title. The supermoderator changed the title when he or she moved the thread to the home page.
2) I cannot change the title of the thread because it is locked because it has been moved to the home page.
3) I did not create this thread with the intention that it should get to the home page. I created it in order to discuss the matter with the people that commented on the first page of this thread.
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria @FAAN_Official
BREACH OF SECURITY PROCEDURE AND ASSAULT ON AVSEC OFFICER BY HEAD OF DSS AT THE INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL OF NAIA ABUJA
We note with dismay that Mr Safiyanu Abba, the Head of DSS at NAIA deliberately obstructed airport Security process, and slapped an Aviation Security Officer..
2. who was performing his duty by calling on Mr Safiyanu Abba to desist from doing so.This happened on the 17th July at about 15:25 hours. He breached security procedure by obstructing further searching of a visitor who had just walked through the metal detector and activated the
3. alarm. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria strongly condemns this abuse of power and the Security process in our airport. This has also been duly escalated.
FAAN committed to our core values of safety Security and comfort.
IamPlato: i Said Many Of Themare Not Yoruba, i Did Not say All Of Them.
Mention 10 that Spent Their Childhood In Nigeria
Who are the "them" that you are talking about? I wrote about 2 people, Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju. You quoted me when I wrote about Sikiru Adepoju. Both of them are Nigerians and Yoruba! So what are you talking about??
Go and read my posts again, in case you are making a mistake!
IamPlato: many of those people you mentioned are not nigerians, many of them will not even wish to be here, some dont like nigeria. because their parents were from nigeria doesnt make them nigerian.
they are foreigners
by the way, now that you showed us that they are nigerians what should we do with it?
will this info change my life or improve my current state or mood?
na god go punish all of una posting foreigners and calling them igbos and yorubas...
In case you actually meant to quote me, I have been posting about Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju. Both of them were born and grew up in Nigeria, so how can you say that they are foreigners??
Both of them sing/sang in the Yoruba Language, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
Both of them play Yoruba drums like Gangan, etc, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
Both of them were involved in promoting Yoruba culture around the world, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??
This is Akiwowo by Babatunde Olatunji featuring Carlos Santana. How can you tell me that the person that sang this is not Yoruba??
naptu2: 50 collaborations between Nigerian and foreign artistes
5) Mickey Hart ft Babatunde Olatunji, Sikiru Adepoju, Zakir Hussain, T.H. Vinayakram, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Giovanni Hidalgo and Frank Colon – Planet Drum (Grammy Award winning album).
Babatunde Olatunji is one of the greatest musicians to have come out of Africa. He grew up in the village of Ajido, near Badagry. He often snuck out to watch the festivals and masquerades in his village and he was fascinated by the drummers. He learnt how to play the drums from those musicians.
Olatunji read about Rotary International’s scholarship programme in an edition of Reader’s Digest. He applied, was accepted and went to the United States in 1950 to study at Moorehouse College in Atlanta.
Olatunji continued to play music at Moorehouse College and at New York University where he later studied public administration. A record executive from Columbia Records heard Olatunji’s performance with the Radio City Music Hall orchestra and signed him to the record label in 1957.
Babatunde Olatunji released Drums of Passion, his first of 6 albums for Columbia Records, in 1959. The album was a huge success and it got to number 13 on the Billboard Charts. The song Jin-Go-Lo-Ba was particularly very popular and it has been covered by various artists including Carlos Santana (on Santana’s first album), Manu Dibango (featuring King Sunny Ade) and Fatboy Slim.
This album made Olatunji very popular in the United States and he collaborated with many legendary American musicians including John Coltrane, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder and Cannonball Adderley (he was often credited as Michael Olatunji on those collaborations). He was particularly good friends with John Coltrane, who helped him set up the Olatunji Centre for African Culture in New York. Coltrane dedicated a track, Tunji on his 1962 album, Coltrane, to Babatunde Olatunji.
Babatunde Olatunji also appeared on major US network television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Sikiru Adepoju went to the United States in 1985 in search of Babatunde Olatunji and Orlando Julius. His father had been a popular drummer in Eruwa and he taught his children how to play. Olatunji introduced Sikiru Adepoju to his friends, including Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart.
Musician, musicologist and drummer for the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart had an idea to make an album in which all the best drummers from around the world would feature.
The album featured Mickey Hart (United States), Zakir Hussain and T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram (both from India), Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju (from Nigeria), Airto Moreira and his wife Flora Purim (from Brazil) and Giovanni Hidalgo and Frank Colon from Puerto Rico.
Babatunde Olatunji contributed a track, Jewe (You Are The One), to the album and played on all but one of the other tracks.
The album won the first ever Grammy Award in the “World Music Album” category at the 1992 Grammy Award ceremony.
Unfortunately I can’t find a YouTube video of Jewe (You Are The One), but here is a video of (1) Carlos Santana and Mickey Hart talking about Babatunde Olatunji (2) Babatunde Olatunji and Carlos Santana performing Akiwowo, which Olatunji originally recorded in 1959 (the video is from a stage performance while the audio is from the album).

One of the weirdest things in Nigeria in recent times is that people who know absolutely nothing about a subject, who were not present when an event occurred and who have no evidence of anything will wake up after having a nightmare and decide that their nightmare is the absolute truth and that they know more than people who have evidence or were present when an event occurred.
I often wonder if these people attended any schools.
seguno2: Many thanks for the feedback. What else is the father known for, apart from football?
All I know about him is that he was one of the "Nigerian Tourists".
He worked in the Railway Corporation and played for the Railway team (they were one of the best teams back then) and his performance with the Railway team led to his invitation to the National Team.
He was a defender in the Nigerian National Team that toured the UK in 1949. They famously played with barefeet. I remember that he appeared on quite a few sports shows in the 1990s in which he talked about their tour of the UK.
This is one of his most famous works in America. This video was introduced by Micky Hart. It's kind of funny to hear him say Olatunji and Yoruba. Also look at how young Micky Hart looked.
Babatunde Olatunji - Drums of Passion (live) (1985).
naptu2: Listening to Carlos Santana talk about Babatunde Olatunji again
Referring to Olatunji's performance at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1985 he said, "When I die that music better be the one welcoming me to heaven or I'm turning back".
Mickey Hart said that he first heard Olatunji in Europe in 1959 and the music was amazing. He heard talking drums and chants for the first time and he's been chasing that music ever since and he's still chasing it now.
Santana said that the music made people hungry and they wanted more. People became interested in West African music, Cuban music, Indian music, etc. now they call it world music. He said that Olatunji influenced him, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, even John Coltrane, noting that Coltrane composed a track in honour of Olatunji and that Coltrane's last concert before he died was a benefit concert for the Olatunji Centre.
