Check out derailment!

1) We've seen pics of other celebrities in NYSC uniform on the front page of nairaland, but Mohammed Jammal's shouldn't be there because he is white skinned.

2) We've seen other nigerian comedians use their ethnicity as part of their stage character, eg Mohammed Danjuma (Funky Mallam), Holy Mallam, the hundreds of Waffi comedians, but Mohammed Jammal should not do the same because he is white skinned.

3) He can't even take a personal photograph (he must stand in a group), simply because he is white skinned.

4) We must hate him, or else we will be tagged "white worshippers". We must hate him simply because he is white skinned.

5) Because he is white skinned, he must be guilty. And held responsible for slavery, racism, etc.

6) Because he is white skinned, he must show evidence of charity work before he is allowed to work for a living (a standard not applicable to other nigerians).

Smh!

I'm out.

They want to apply different standards for him, simply because he is not black skinned. Smh!

Clemzy16: I bet you this guy ain't 'whiter' than some Real Nigerian dude I've seen before. BTW, why was he standing alone in the picture?! I smell Inferiority complex.

Right, so he should never stand alone right? Hm! Did you also see the pic of him doing the frog hop?

DailyNews: I am only using the Igbo addition to let u know that he is trying to make money in Nigeria with his skin colour diff, that's it. Now convince me n others that he is doing sth to uplift and help the teeming population of starving Nigerian kids n youths from the region he came from. Dnt be upset, let's hear u out pls

1) That is exactly my point. What you are saying is that only igbo people try to make money, right? That tells me what kind of person you are.

2a) Can you show me proof that you are doing something to uplift the teeming population of starving Nigerian youths in your region? Also provide proof that you are not trying to make money.

2b) Can you show me proof that I am doing something to uplift the teeming population of starving Nigerian youths in my region? Also provide proof that I am not trying to make money.

2c) Can you show me proof that Goldie (the singer) is doing something to uplift the teeming population of starving Nigerian youths in her region? Also provide proof that she is not trying to make money.

2d) Can you show me proof that Mohammed Danjuma (the late comedian known as Funky Mallam) was doing something to uplift the teeming population of starving Nigerian youths in his region? Also provide proof that he was not trying to make money from his ethnicity.

DailyNews: Read his profile, the coloured guy (not white though), seem to have a rich parentage, now tell me, how many charity organization helping people in Jos has he initiated. At least it won't be too difficult for him to initiate one- gather his coloured and white friends from his school, form something like: Friends of Jos, and start contributing to Nigeria nation building and upliftment, but he rushed into entertainment first to gain popularity with his skin colour to scoop cash that guy is an Igbo guy jareh with coloured skin

Ok, with the reference to igbo in your last sentence, I see why it's pointless to continue this discussion with you.

Someone mentioned award and that reminded me;

We've had lebanese nigerians who've received national honours awards (eg, the former chief executive of 7up, can't remember his name), would you say that the award ceremony shouldn't have been shown on tv because he is not black Probably, giving him the award or showing it on tv means that we are worshipping whites

A lebanese nigerian businessman served on the Vision 2010 committee. He probably shouldn't have been appointed because he is not black (we don't want people to think that we are worshipping whites, now do we?).

Lebanese nigerians have served on the NBBF, the NFA, etc.

Indeed, one of the most passionate members of the NFA that we have ever had is John Mastourodes (a Greek Nigerian) who would even spend his personal funds to assist the Green Eagles and Leventis United. Well, he shouldn't have been appointed, so that it wouldn't seem like we are worshipping whites.

Smh.

DailyNews: yes we will vote for him if we see truly that he has Nigeria at hrt n by all means wants to join honestly to uplift Nigeria n not just to scoop popularity/money in Nigeria using his skin colour difference

Questions: How do you know that Mohammed Jammal doesn't have " Nigeria at hrt n by all means wants to join honestly to uplift Nigeria" and how do you know he's "just to scoop popularity/money in Nigeria using his skin colour difference"?

Question 2: What ethnic group, or as some people here say "tribe", would you use to classify him?

A question popped into my mind while reading the comments on this thread.

Barrack Obama had a Kenyan father, yet he is President of the US. I wonder if someone like Mohammed Jammal, if he is competent, can ever become President of Nigeria. Will people be able to see beyond his skin colour

(Note: Lebanese Nigerians have been in Nigeria for over a hundred years).

ehie: when u go to the west and they treat u like shyte u cry,but u have no qualms insulting some one whose only crime is being ethuastic abt ur country,you have divisions in ur clans,in ur tribes,in ur churches,in ur religion...really a terrible way to exist,hate,greed,selfishness in every fiber in ur being,and u wonder why God isnt in nigeria?well its because satan rules

God bless you.

Hm! I shouldn't have been surprised. Because some white people did xyz, therefore Mohammed Jammal is xyz.

Racism works both ways.

It's quite common here.

Because an igbo person did xyz, therefore all igbo people are xyz.

Because a yoruba person did xyz, therefore all yoruba people are xyz.

Would you have been complaining if this was a picture of Basketmouth at orientation camp

More pics.

In recent times we've had pictures of celebrities @ NYSC camp splashed on the front page of Nairaland, for example, Isabella Ayuk https://www.nairaland.com/982602/picture-mbgn-isabella-ayuk-nysc

Why should his case (a celebrity comedian) be any different? Because he is not black

By the way, I don't see any reason why we should adopt american or european race classifications. For example, why should we classify one european as white and another european as "latino"? In Nigeria you are either black or white (cest fini).

(It also seems strange that some are suggesting that we should hate the guy simply because of his skin colour).

By the way, "White Nigerian" is his stage name.

1) I doubt that he is the first white person to serve in the NYSC. There are many Nigerians who are ethnic Lebanese (particularly in the Kano area). They've been here for over a century.

2) By Nigerian classification, if you are not black, then you are white. Therefore, asians, latin americans, etc are white. (Recently, in the US, an arab egyptian was classified as a white person by the government. It differs from country to country).

3) His story is in the news because he is a celebrity (a comedian) in Nigeria.

As it is in Kenya, so it is in Nigeria. We have the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.

In an inspiring turn of events, Mathare United FC won the Kenyan double in 1998 and the President's cup in 2000.

I know it's all for fun, so here goes.

I'm tired. I've got tons more pics to post, but not enough time to post them. I've not even finished with the thread "Nigeria: the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly". I might have to come here week after week to post pics.

Please check out the thread https://www.nairaland.com/1062509/nigeria-good-bad-beautiful-ugly

By the way, can we see pics of Nairobi's "famous" Mathare Neighbourhood?

Supreme Court building @ Tinubu Square (circa 1960)

At independence in 1960, this Supreme Court building was knocked down and a new "modern" Supreme Court building was built at Igbosere Road. Wole Soyinka hated the new cement building and felt that this wooden building suited the tropics better. He also hated the water fountain that was built at Tinubu because he felt that it had no effect on the lives of the masses who lived in the area.
