She's in Europe now, at least, far from sai Buhari.

No be lie o... The situation fit make blood boil sef... But her calmness na abinibi...

GEJfan1:
am sure u were still an infant wen opc nd ijaws clashed in lagos years ago. Wen opc killed hausas, it was trailers dey we're using to pack their corpse from lagos to north which resulted in reprisals in d north too

So, what is your point?

femid1st:
He is right. Pipe line vandals can well be stopped by OPC....with charm & good guns.... it's gonna suppress their attack.

I laugh at this.. So the militants too don't have charms, abi

It is just like a football team praying to God to give them a win, as if the other team don't pray as well...

freeze001:


Since u are really too dumb to understand, I will use really small words so u comprehend. The report of d death of any person especially in violent circumstances should evoke feelings of sadness at least for d unnecessary death of yet another human no matter who.

It is only natural that u spare a kind thought or word for d dead at best or at worst shut d hell up and move on. It is absolutely insensitive to start spinning tales of d circumstances that led to his being at any place or in that country in this instance. To start talking crap based on ethnic profiling and bigotry only exposes ur small mindedness and that is what I sought to address u on.

I do not consider this thread or circumstance d right place to interrogate d propriety or otherwise of his immigration status. The fact is, a human life just got wasted needlessly. That death could have caught him anywhere in Nigeria too.

I wonder though why u persist in pursuing the narrative that no single Igbo person has ever been affected in the boko haram madness up North...that's a really ignorant position to take. Did u not see d story of d Igbos killed in Adamawa during a union meeting? They were still attacked again when their families went to bury them n more killed. Why do u think increasingly strident calls were made for Igbos in d north to relocate so as not to fall victim? Have u not read of many who fled for dear life leaving years of toiling and investments behind?

Like I said, this is really not d time n place to start interrogating his status. A bit of human empathy for the death of a fellow human particularly in violent circumstances is only humane and proper. Still, you can suit urself and keep jerking off on d issues just cos he's Igbo and you're not...just shows ur level of contrived depravity.

You are right as can be. You have said it all, and I don't think you should trade words with him again. Maybe he is not worth it, maybe.

I also take some responsibility for his line of thought, because I bolded the 'Fleeing Boko Haram' in the original post. I did not mean to do that to highlight that fact, I only did that because it was a 'sub-topic' or another paragraph as the case may be.

Fan-something's logic is totally warped on this issue. Ask most Nigerians, if they had the opportunity to claim refugee status in Europe or America for whatever reason, they would. The country is that difficult! Most Nigerians will cross the mediterranean if they weren't afraid of drowning. So let him just leave that aspect behind.

Humanity before tribal and religious affiliation!

FanYogo1:



What's all this rant got to do with my post.

[size=18pt]The nigga lied about running from boko haram. Let's assume he was living in the Borno, is Iboland no longer safe?[/size]

Is anywhere in this country safe?

You are not beyond redemption!

FanYogo1:


[size=28pt]Lies!
[/size]

When he fled the North, couldn't he have fled to the Southeast, his dear Biafra? The lies our Ibo brothers tell for refugee status. Hope this ngga wasn't dealing crack in Italy before he met his waterloo.

Brother!!! Please STOP!!! I beg of you, please...

Do you really have to say this

Why have we sunk so low in this country of ours, such that we have lost touch with reality and lost every human feeling of camaraderie. WHY and HOW?

Just spare a thought for the dead, his wife, family and loved ones, please!

My heart weeps for this country.

Let us even ASSUME he is dealing crack, is he not better than our politicians who keep raping and molesting us time after time, such that we have developed the 'Stockholm Syndrome', just because they have craftily used the DIVIDE AND RULE tactic, carefully exploiting the religious and ethnic divide to their advantage

Why can't we as a people stand up for each other? Why can't we make Nigeria and indeed Africa great, so that we can look out and protect the interest of our brothers in diaspora

Don't you know that blacks around the world are exploited just because Africa remain weak and divided

So please brother, let go of whatever tribalism or I don't know what to call it, and look at the bigger picture, if not for yourself, for your children and the children after them.

My opinion. It may or may not count. Thanks

P.S. Check out this thread by DDeliverer.. The dude is making real sense.. https://www.nairaland.com/3210525/nigeria-finished-me

So far, I have been a fan of just one Nairalander- YorubaWoman (because her Yoruba language posts usually get me cracking)...

Well, I am officially becoming a fan of Wanderlustian.. Reason? Her patience and cultured manner... 8 pages and no insult or insinuation replied in like manner..

In this era when 'almost everybody blood dey hot', it is a breath of fresh air. It is commendable. Keep it up!!!

A man has been arrested by Italian police investigating the killing of a Nigerian immigrant which the government has condemned as a racist attack.

Police say a row broke out at Fermo, a town on Italy's east coast, when racist abuse was hurled at the partner of Emmanuel Chidi Namdi, 36.

The violence escalated when a traffic pole was pulled from the ground. The victim later died in hospital.

A local man described as a well-known "ultra" football fan is being held.

Amedeo Mancini, 35, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of racially aggravated manslaughter. His lawyer said he "did not mean to kill" and that he had punched the Nigerian in self defence.

Fleeing Boko Haram

Emmanuel Chidi fled Nigeria with his partner Chinyery, 24, after their families came under attack from jihadist group Boko Haram.

Their families were killed in an attack on a Nigerian church in 2015, Italian media reported.

As the couple made their way across the Mediterranean, their baby died.

They finally arrived in Fermo last November and were taken in by a local Christian charity. They had a wedding ceremony in January, conducted by local priest Father Vinicio Albanesi, which was unofficial because they had lost their documents, Rai TV reported.

What happened on Tuesday evening is unclear. However, it is thought that the attacker subjected Chinyery to racist chanting and then grabbed her.

At that point the traffic pole was pulled out of the ground as Emmanuel Chidi and his attacker came to blows. He was taken to hospital in a coma but never recovered.

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was among many across Italy who took to social media to express disgust at the killing, using the hashtag Emmanuel.

"The government today is in Fermo with Don Vinicio and the local institutions in memory of Emmanuel. Against hate, racism and violence," he wrote.

Visiting the town, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told reporters on Thursday that the seed of racism had to be stopped before it could bear fruit. "The heart of Italy isn't represented by those who carried out this murder."

He also announced that Emmanuel Chidi's partner Chinyery had been granted refugee status.

Call girls? Oh boy! Which of the European countries be dat abeg? 50euros? Shey na short rest abi na overnyt browsing? And i hope these callgirls are oyinbo chiks and not our rubbish naija or african girls wey go there go hussle?

And what is so special about an oyinbo chick, that makes you think your flesh and blood are 'rubbish'? Eh?

Wake up man/woman... It is on us to love ourselves, they ain't really got true love for us out there...

The 'worst' Nigerian or African girls are queens to people who really care about them, regardless of how they choose to make a living (hustle). It is not your place to call them 'rubbish'..

And life ain't all about making money and being a millionaire. The quality of the life we live matters a lot because life is too short for us not to fulfil at least 60% of our fantasies.

My opinion. It may or may not count. Thanks

Jose Mourinho says he is ready for the task of rebuilding Manchester United, insisting: "I am where I want to be."

The new United manager added: "I think it is a job everyone wants and not many have a chance to have and I have it."

Former Chelsea boss Mourinho succeeds Dutchman Louis van Gaal, who was sacked after United's FA Cup success in May.

The Portuguese said he was "frustrated" United are not in the Champions League next season but insisted he was at Old Trafford to win trophies.

Mourinho also said that:

He wants to make four major signings;

He is not to blame for the departure of Ryan Giggs;

He will not play Wayne Rooney in midfield;

He has a track record of promoting young players.

GO TO HELL!

I didn't address you so fck off with your nonsense!

You had to log in with your alt account to say that rubbish without even taking time to understand that post.


GO TO HELL!

Madam, no one is going to HELL.
The least you could have done was try to make me see what you see...
I really will never squabble with anyone here.

cr7lomo:



I will mark ur handle cos its certain that you are naturally dull so as the people that liked the nonsense u put up... I dnt even know how to start with u cos....u are just dumb

I don't know if she is dull or not... But I suppose someone who has passed through the four walls of a 'school' should be able to think logically. Her logic on the issue of what dolly-something posted is way off the point.


May we all see the light.

fellis:



You see all these men? They are all superior to you.
They are better than you and their lives have more value than yours.
The first is a theif, the second is a mass murderer and the third are three mentally unbalanced/lunatics in an insane asylum.

They are all superior to you dolly joy.






I didn't just insult you by the way, you said men will always be superior to women so I am showing you pictures of different men that are superior to you.

I suggest you read your nairaland personal text and really understand what what it is all about...

I really should counter your logic by posting pictures of a woman who was stripped naked for allegedly kidnapping, another picture of a woman who allegedly murdered her husband in Ibadan, and yet another who threw her new born baby into a pit... And insinuate they are 'equal' to men (those dearest to you) or better still 'equal' to you...

But on a second thought, you are entitled to your opinion, and just maybe you really ain't worth the stress...

American journalist Mike Wallace didn't bargain for what he heard and was left speechless after Minister Farrakhan shut him up for saying Nigeria was the most corrupt nation in the world!!!

A morally corrupt nation/person has no right to judge a fellow morally corrupt entity.

The person wey steal, and the person wey dem keep stolen goods for him house, and him dey make profit from am... the one wey dey worse dey up for una to decide..

I wish Fela was alive to hear the President's take on Cameron's comments.

I wonder what day a really informed leader will emerge in this country.

The beautiful ones are not yet born. Maybe, maybe not!

You can only visit South from North legally if you have the visa to South Cyprus, you are European Citizen, married Southern Cypriot, have valid multiple entry Schengen visas and sometimes American Citizen are allowed based on specific mission.

Just reading this again... And the provisions attached... I got to say it is quite impossible for me to go legally now.... Thanks bro

wip7:


Good

So how do I go about it? Or is it impossible to go from North to the South as people say in some quarters... Someone even said I have to go to Nigeria and get a visa... Thanks

wip7:


NO...there is no South Cyprus embassy in the North Cyprus. Turkish embassy cannot issue south Cyprus visa. If you need to go South Cyprus you can visit there consulate in Lagos or any other country you are currently living.

Wip7, I am currently in Lefkosa...

Thanks for your reply. But is it possible to get the visa from the North? Maybe Lefkosa? Or the Turkish Embassy??

Good morning guys in the house, Wip7.... I am sure it has been answered somewhere in this thread, but it is kinda difficult going through 222 pages. Please I will like to know if it is possible to go to South Cyprus from North Cyprus, and how? Thanks for your usual understanding and patience. Jah bless

British-Nigerian Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua's first interview after becoming IBF World Heavyweight Champion. He also holds the Olympics Super Heavyweight Title. this guy is going places!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-v0mqEqHA&ebc=ANyPxKoj32lRbDB7nOpUiSN0-VTxk8tZJb6UlfKFeasP2P6-AWTiSbKjcfnhCrnNZVJjbVb9rXQ4_dg4-5e_SbpAfg_mCJfxMw&nohtml5=False

The British claim the good guys and accept them as Brits, while the bad ones are called Nigerians, even though some of them have never stepped a foot in the country... Funny world!

ANTHONY JOSHUA BEATS CHARLES MARTIN TO BECOME WORLD HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION

Anthony Joshua stopped Charles Martin in two rounds at London's O2 Arena to claim the IBF heavyweight title in only his 16th professional fight.

The Briton floored his American opponent with a peach of a right-hand counter and after Martin was knocked down again, the referee called a halt.

The 26-year-old is his country's sixth bona fide heavyweight world champion.

Joshua is also just the third man to win a pro heavyweight world title while still a reigning Olympic champion.

Joshua's victory now brings a super-fight against fellow Briton and WBA and WBO champion Tyson Fury a step closer.

According to Wikipedia, Joshua, full names being Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born in Watford to a Nigerian mother and a father of Nigerian and Irish descent. His cousin is fellow unbeaten professional boxer Ben Ileyemi. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013.

God bless your generation. Very funny set of people. And it is not like most of them are that beautiful. They just hide under the cover of NL to type trash!

Tufiakwa!!! These women look more horrible than the situation in north.

Did you read through at all. I really can't imagine where our human feelings have gone. And this goes to y'all saying they are ugly.. Pray you are never in their situation with the way the world is going..
And by the way, if this poster I am quoting is the one on her profile picture, she still got a long way to go...
