POSA POSAA POSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FOR NIGERIANS!!!!

Bravo wonderful, wonderful comments, heartily indorsed by me, Mr_Coon.

Jesus, I’am so happy that there are  many sensible people like you, 9jauk. If only I could set up a sort of emoticon cheerleading group consisting of you and the likes of Beaf and Kobojunkie. I would call the group the Coonites and every time someone like you makes a post, the Coonites would roll across from the far-right side of the screen accompanied by fanfare and confetti.

@ Mr Coon: Why in this time and age will someone call themselves Mr Coon? I take it you know the meaning of the word "Coon" and i am surprised not one person has pulled you up on your thinly veiled racism on this forum.
For my fellow Nairalanders who are not aware of the meaning, "Coon" is a very insulting word for a black person.
And what do you also mean by banning "ethnic" clothes? Being Nigerian, i can choose to wear my traditional attire when it suits me, if you don't like it then lump it! And you dare call people " blackies" ?!
Mate, if no one else has sensed your motives for being on a Nigerian forum, i have and I'll make sure you get chucked out, friggin racist!!!

I live in London and i suspect this story is a complete fabrication, The Met cannot sustain a 24 hour surveillance of areas populated by Nigerians, besides it will be illegal. I am not being looked at differently and other Nigerians i know are not being paranoid.
I will seriously question the motives of whoever is the source for this so called story.

Nigeria Slams 'Discriminatory' Flight Checks


Nigeria has criticised new security measures for passengers flying to and from the United States as unfair and said they amounted to discrimination against 150 million people.
The US government has announced that travellers from 14 countries, including Nigeria, are to be subjected to extra checks including body pat-downs, after a young Nigerian was accused of trying to blow up a US jet on Christmas Day.
But Nigeria Information Minister Dora Akunyili said that Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, did not have a history of terrorism and such a move could not be justified.
"It is unfair to include Nigeria on the US list for tighter screening because Nigerians do not have terrorist tendencies," Ms Akunyili said.
"It is unfair to discriminate against over 150 million people because of the behaviour of one person."
A 23-year-old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been accused of trying to trigger an explosion on the Northwest Airlines plane with chemicals which had been stitched into his underwear.
"Abdulmutallab's behaviour is not reflective of Nigerians and should therefore not be used as a yardstick to judge all Nigerians," Ms Akunyili said.
"He was not influenced in Nigeria. He was not recruited or trained in Nigeria. He was not supported whatsoever in Nigeria."
Prosecutors say that Abdulmutallab tried to carry out the attack after undergoing training by Yemen-based militants who have said they were behind the plot.




This is what I saw at the site, but any ranting from her does not change our status for now, until the right things are done. We really need change in these country. A country that lives inside oil, and yet cars have to spend days at the filling stations, before they can buy another country's fuel (since our refineries are now museums), has a serious problem at hand.

The most painful aspect of it is that, the so-called Petroleum minister does not see anything wrong in that, yet prefers private holiday, when his house is on fire. Come to think of it, can't we just retire all these fools parading the corridors of power? I am tired of these people. Take for example, Rilwane Lukman has been in government ever since I was in primary four, and now I am a graduate and have worked for like 3 years now, and he is still a Minister, in a country that has more than 150million people. Something is really wrong with the system. The time to change all these is now.

Abeg, let them continue to embarrass us. That way, our plight will be known to the international community, since focus will now shift to us.

These are lines from comedians.

This is a truly sad and unfortunate development. I am very concerned because once Nigeria makes it unto a bad list, it usually impossible for us to get off (e.g most corrupt, most dangerous). But this has been coming. The truth is our government as well as certain civic organizations attitude to potential terrorism was not adequate. Back around 02/03 when Osama bin laden started making references and including Nigeria amongst nation sympathetic to Al-qaeda in his speeches and addresses, I wondered why our government and the various muslim societies didn't take the potential for trouble seriously. Any one who knows Osama's history, knows the man doesn't make idle threats. If he was mentioning our name it wasn't just for "show", there was a strong reason why he did that. Instead the reaction was to dismiss the threat as insignificant. Government said that there were no terrorist training camps here so there was nothing to worry about. It is that typical "lukewarm", "siddon look" and "I dey kampe" approach that is causing us trouble now.

Why should the action of one errant misguided boy be causing so much difficulty for over 150 million citizens? After all this is the first and only incidence directly linking Nigeria to any form of international terrorism.The reason is simple. It is the reason why a country like Egypt is not on that list. While the Egyptian government has accepted the potential for terrorist activities within it boundaries and instituted strong counter-measures. We have adopted our usual "fire brigade" approach, only taking action at the last possible moment. It sad to see our name amongst a list of countries that have produced countless terrorists and have long histories of even funding terrorist activity. We shouldn't be on this list but there no compelling reasons why the US should not take precaution.

Facts are that Osama has asserted that Nigeria is among countries sympathetic to his cause (killing Americans & it allies and spreading radical Islam), a terrorist passed through Nigeria's premier international airport with an explosive device, he happens to be a Nigerian citizen, tried to blow-up a plane and to crown it all has said that there are many others like him (that could mean Nigerians). The realities are that it is only natural that the US government might feel a bit paranoid about a potential threat of Nigerian affiliation, after all Osama himself said he has allies here. Had our government shown more seriousness before by carrying out investigations, increasing security and information gathering in potential vulnerable areas and had the numerous Islamic communities done more than just condemning after the fact, but assisting the government in asserting it seriousness with ensuring there are absolutely no established ties between Nigeria and Al-qaeda this wouldn't have been considered necessary. If our government were responsible there would be no reason why the US wouldn't have had faith in our ability to deal with this issue without resorting to such drastic measures. But look at how we have handled the Niger-Delta, religious conflicts in the North, elections and so many other things.

The reason we are on that list is not because anyone genuinely thinks we are as a bad some the nations that are on it. It is because every body knows that our nonchalant attitude will ensure that we will never address problems until it is too late.

Obviously the idiot who originated the asinine article and all you nincompoops who believe it have never been near a plane flying out of Nigeria. Else you would know that there is never a train carriage full of "UK whites" at any time of the day in any direction around UK. And definitely if you were foolish enough to announce yourself as a Nigerian terrorist on any train people will just laugh at you and offer to buy you a beer at the next stop. Go find job all of you. Mumu people to believe Tribune journalist.

The Nigerians is an obstinate bloomin begger this is why he is universally disliked. He insists on depicting himself equal among the nations of men, refusing to acknowledge the very existence of a pecking order, which others understand.

At the top of the pecking order belongs the American and European nations, the Asian nations come next and languishing at the bottom, some of the nations of the south - Nigeria being among their number.

The Nigerian refuses to obey the rules. Where others of his elk such as the Hottentot, Kenyan, Ghanaian, Tanzanian and so fourth understand that they most operate below the radar, smile when spoken to, open the door for the Whiteman and woman, the Nigerian thinks he can breeze trough the door. This is the height of arrogance which so infuriates. In his arrogance, the Nigerian believes he serves as an example how to act at the masters table but he does not realise that his actions infuriates his fellow blacks at a subliminal level. This is why, for the most part, other blacks are secretly in league with the white man and loves when you nigeriasn are dispised.

The Nigerian infuriates his fellow blacks because "he shows them up" - to utilise a ghetto vernacular. Have you never questioned why even the most ardent militant black American and Caribbean prefers to visit Kenya or South Africa, Uganda or Ghana?  The reason he does this is that he, the black America or Caribbean militant, because he lives in America or in Europe receives the honour and prestige thast this invests in him. In other words, these other African nations on your continent respond to the rob-off of white superiority on the militant Diasporian and subsequently honours him as a white. The Nigerian on the other hand reacts to the Diasporian blacks as equal or even looks down upon him. The Nigerian by his incessant striving for education, big job and big life compounds this. The world, you most understand operates according to finely tuned mechanics.

The people of the black nations serve to make the rest of the world feel, better about themselves. This moral boost is not to be sniffed at, it is very useful and important. Unfortunately, you Nigerians come along and show you have a culture: food, music, dance all your own and which is rooted in  africaness. This undermines all the stereotypes about the African as uncultured and primitive and which makes many in other part of the world feel superior and good about themselves. For this reason Nigeria most be stopped.


There! I have told you. Now do your worst. I am a Coon because I have accepted my place in the lower order of life and I am happy now. What’s more, all  Africa- except you darn Nigerians - have accepted their place. I have more in common with other blacks and Africans than you do, Mr  Vacora. In fact, the name Africa should be changed from Africa to Africoo and Africans to Africoons.

That story sounds fake. For a start if you go to king's cross or anywhere in london for that matter you might be surprised to find there are hardly that many white people on trains or around anywhere. Plus people hardly talk to strangers here so I don't know why he is declaring that he is nigerian or who would care anyway. Plus there are so many muslims who are openly and obviously moslem, both asians and blacks.

I'm here and I'm not aware of any nigerians being under any pressure due to the terrorism incident so I think that the article is just being sensationalist in order to sell more papers.

there are Nigerians all over the UK, has there ever been any problem before?
see! one foolish guy ruins the name of 150 million people and who knows how many more people living in diaspora. this is just crap!!!
i really don't see the issue here. one fellow decided he wanted to join a terrorist group in Yemen. and exactly what does that have to do with Nigerians? are we the terrorist group that executed this plan? NO.
sigh. . .

hmmm only time will tell.

Nigerians are imagining things. Now, if a "UK White" (whatever that means) gets off at his stop, the nigerian sitting beside will think he's running off because he needs to escape a terrorist. For goodness' sake the guy doesn't even know if you are a Nigeria, a Yemeni or a black british. Please. . . ~!
people, stop giving yourselves silly ideas!

That won't keep me from saying (nevertheless) that nigeria and nigerians are located on the lowest rung when it comes to nations and their achievements!

Ahhh!mr coon i can just see u oozing of jealousy,but there's really not much u can do about it.We're who we are bcuz we're everything u're not,we kip our heads up when everybody around us is loosin theirs,we're resilient,we're intelligent,jovial,dexterous-as a matter of fact we are the epitome of everything you & ur ilks are not.So pray tell me any rzn why we shildn't feel the way we do?Men hate what they don't understand,fear what they can't conquer it's just a natural phenomenon-so u can hate all u want but can't stop the shining;fool

mr coon

sharap there.

Have you never questioned why even the most ardent militant black American and Caribbean prefers to visit Kenya or South Africa

they prefer kenya and south Africa to Nigeria because those places have electricity.

I haven't and won't read all the posts leading up to mine, so pardon me if I "step on toes" as I think I might with what I say.

First things first, Nigerians anywhere in the world should be able to tell anyone who starts to "misbehave" towards them because of this issue to go to hell and stay there, whether they wanna do it in a diplomatic manner or otherwise, whatever method you feel will get the message across best.

The fact that some fool tried to blow up a plane has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact that he is Nigerian, it has more and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that he is MUSLIM. end of story. He didn't try to blow up the plane because he feels that America is mistreating Nigerians in their country, or anywhere else, he did so cos he feels America and the west are treating MUSLIMS unfairly. So it is not a nationality issue, it is a RELIGIOUS issue. So Americans, and Britons and other nationals who act stupidly and act like fools towards Nigerians on this topic should wake up and smell the coffee.

So people, please remind or ask these fools what the nationality is of the people who blew up the trains and buses in london on 07/07(British born, jamaican born, but most or all lived/grew up in uk),  or ask them the nationality of the Shoe Bomber of Flight 63 in 2001 (British), or ask them the nationalities of the 2006 Toronto terrorism case where 5 people almost blew up some buildings in Toronto (pakistan, egypt, canadian, etc.) or is it the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 (Americans), or the Barley bombings, or the bombings in spain and so so so so many more.  Or the nationalities of the many people who have shot up high schools in america,  or any of the sick things that happens in america by their nationals,  What was the freaking nationalities of the actors of these acts? were they not nationals of many many countries of the world, INCLUDING UK AND US, the 2 countries who many of their nationals are acting like numbskulls now. HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN HISTORY? WHY DID THEY NOT VIEW EACH OF THEIR CITIZENS AFTER THESE ACTS AS POTENTIAL TERRORISTS. So let them do us a favor and shut the freaking bleep up

On the contrary, one similarity ALMOST ALL OF THEM have is the fact that they are muslims. So again, do not fail to remind any of these people: Obama and his advisers, the "pricks" at the airport, while only doing "their job" to back off and lighten up on their attitude.

At the end of the day, because the Nigerian government is largely peopled by incompetent fools (and I call them fools by virtue of their actions in government, as opposed to their personal/non-official acts: I am conscious to separate the man/woman from their office), it is up to the everyday Nigerian, the world over, to stand up and stop all this nonsense. Imagine the insult labeling Nigeria as terrorist breeding ground. If we are bombers, will we not have bombed these animalistic politicians out of office, until they will all be afraid to run for office, and only those who have the brains and will to serve the public will vie for office, and consequently Nigeria will be on the road to be a more bearable place to live in

I can go on and on and as 'intelligently' as I can and with little to no emotion involved which these yanks and brits obviously cannot do, give 'intelligible' reasons why any Nigerian has every right to tell any body in any part of the world to go to hell, or whatever suits your fancy, when they start bringing up the "Nigerian terror bomb plot". While it might not change anything, if it makes you feel better, then at least you don't go "down" without a fight,  Anyways,  I gat other stuff to do, so immo sign out,

what good can come out of this rubbish known as nigeria??

@Namun,

You ofcourse, except that you'll be nothing but GOOD RUBISH!!

I came out of nigeria so it can't be all that bad.
