District 9 offends the hell out of Nigerians? Nigeria: Critical Questions

[olasenialexander]

Hey Mr.Okoroman,I am also a so called Nigerian.I am from south-western Nigeria and I don't belive in oneness of Nigeria.It's a mistake of 1914,the mistake of our forefathers.

But we are still all africans and we must stop campaigning RACISM and DISCRIMINATION.

I know someday,God will bring judgement on all the people that brought abnormalities on Nigeria.For they are too strong for us and they speak evil on the peoples.

[thuzan117]

not sure how many of these comments are actually related to district 9 but just to try and inject some common sense it's not racist to state possibilities. are there many african crime syndicates and gun dealers? yes. are all africans criminals and militias? no. we americans don't get upset when movies portray white americans as racist inbred rednecks with a shed full of guns for when jesus comes back. additionally how is eating the aliens cannibilism? THEY AREN'T HUMAN.

U r a men calling for the division of Nigeria into 3 nation. I pray it won't happen. Odu-Ojukwu insert us in this mess or what u call calamity,with his crazy war.

I am ibo but born and raised in lagos, living in u.s.a. i have loads of yoruba and hausa friends( my childhood friends) and we were kool together. Huh to divide nigeria i wont support such movement but God knows i will do everything, support anything that will keep our culture alive.

"Three former American Ambassadors to Nigeria abandoned diplomatese and attempted calling a spade a spade (at the Achebe Colloquium at Brown University Rhode Island) regarding Nigeria's current global status, and their conclusions are not flattering at all: Nigeria's so called strategic importance to the US can no longer be taken for granted.." ------ Guardian Newspapers.

Nigeria: Police kill at will

9 December 2009

Press release

Amnesty International exposed the shocking level of unlawful police killings in Nigeria in a new report released on Wednesday.

"The Nigerian police are responsible for hundreds of unlawful killings every year," said Erwin van der Borght, Director of Amnesty International's Africa Programme.

"Police don't only kill people by shooting them; they also torture them to death, often while they are in detention."

[Okoroman]

"The majority of the cases go un-investigated and the police officers responsible go unpunished. The families of the victims usually get no justice or redress. Most never even find out what happened to their loved ones."

Police frequently claim that the victims of shootings were 'armed robbers' killed in 'shoot-outs' with the police or while trying to escape custody. These claims are often highly implausible.

[Okoroman]

Fifteen-year-old Emmanuel Egbo was killed by a police officer in Enugu in September 2008. According to witnesses, he was playing with other children in front of his uncle's house when three police officers came up to them. One officer pulled out a gun and shot the boy, claiming he was an armed robber. He was unarmed.

In August 2009, his family discovered his body had disappeared from the mortuary. As of November 2009, the body is still missing.

[Okoroman]

Amnesty International said that some police officers see the killings of 'armed robbers' in detention as acceptable practice.

[aadejumo]

lol incase u missed it d so called called western country economies aint actualli doin well at d moment but wld u say live in d us is like hell? ur logic sickens me

[keltar2007]

@aadejumo SOrry, but there's gotta be a limit of failure somewhere

[keltar2007]

SOrry but no amount of effort can salvage that shit hole...

[slychix]

ther isstill one nigeria and nigeria is not the centre of evil

you are the centre of evil my broda, u are the kind of person that should be called a barbarian, a cannibal and a ignorant man

because i am intellectual and successfull and i am a nigerian

i have succeded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keltar2007]

I know Udid not just say Nigeria wasn't the center of evil

[Biafrans7]

what would Nigerians do about the 2011 rigged elections?

[keltar2007]

They already rigged it?

[Biafrans7]

It is 49 years of Hausa-fulani fundamentalist, Islamist pogromists; jihadist genocidists and their slavish Yoruba Oligarchs have ruled Nigeria. In 49 yeras all elections and census were rigged, Sovereign National Conference deliberately refused in 20 years of almost daily clamour, $500 Billion dollars squandered from Niger Delta oil resources, 63-year genocide maintained against Nigerians as the trashy constitution is substituted with Sharia in more than 19 states and counting. Nigeria is evil.

[avyarima]

you are the real center of evil. stupid!!!!

[Msbea345]

Nigerians, you are my brothers and sisters and i love your movies but I have to say...your country is full of people who will do anything to defraud others. My dad was a victim of a Nigerian con man and he almost lost his job. I have nothing against Nigerians but I stay cautious in business deals. One thing I do know though, Nigerians do not eat people.

[whitedaisez]

Igbo people DO NOT want to be part of ur fucked up Nigeria, get it? We want to be by OURSELVES and live our lives peacefully the way WE WANT! why is dat so bad? UK, US, Japan and today's world leaders DID NOT ARISE from FORCED AMALGAMATION! there is NO SUCH THING AS "ONE NIGERIA"!! Nigeria is a FLUKE, a false state established by a WHITE MAN for his own greed and benefit! It is not meant to happen and will NEVER be! Leave the Igbo pple to run what has belonged to them for the past 50,000yrs!!!

[MllG0]

@whitedaisez

good point... whatever works for the white man (pinky), does not mean it will work for us. We need to rebuild what we stand for, and reject everything the white man promotes. We lived well, before the time of the white man, and we will live happily again, when he is gone.

[thuzan117]

@MllG0 i myself am white and i agree with you. you guys were doing pretty good before europeans came in and hijacked your entire continent. you had advanced civilizations, unique cultures and so on. however don't overlook the fact that your leaders were as much responsible for the event as we were. contrary to popular belief white people did not do much of the slave catching actually that was other africans who then sold them to white people. do your best to progress but don't just deflect.

[ikp2]

hey Biafra watver they call u guys... i still belive in one nigeria... is not easy to develop Nigeria.. or do u want war to bust out again.... Igbo u guys are always d same

[dogboy54321]

sony does not have to take shit from a country with no power

[Msbea345]

Sony has to respect other countries whether they have power or not....your type of attitude is why this world is messed up...when other people think they can pee on others just because they have more infuence. Respect is vital.

[keltar2007]

@Msbea345 In the world of illusions maybe...In reality...if U let your country get fucked up, U will get fucked.

[deaconcook]

i hate nigerians......lol this movie gives them a bad rap? no the idiots who fill up my mailbox with promises of millions gave them a bad rap!

[dedamol]

I am a yoruba man, and I love and respect the Igbo people, but this okoroman is nothing but a self serving charlatan. History shows that this type of xenophobic rhetoric always ends in tragedy. The world abounds with such examples. HAVE WE LEARNT NOTHING FROM THE TRAGEDY OF THE BIAFRAN WAR? This anachronistic drivel will not resonate with the new generations of Nigerians. TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE OUR NATIONS GREAT ONCE AGAIN!!!

Nigeria, a failed state, say Utomi, others

Guardian (Nigerian Newspapers), Friday, February 06, 2009

Predict bank collapse, more economic crisis

NIGERIA'S inability to record development in almost every area of its national life is an indication that it is a failed state, according to some of the country's prominent citizens.

[Biafrans7]

"What is the basis of the agitation of the Hausa-Fulani community? The ultimate goal of the murderous agitation, which started long ago, is to dethrone the Berom traditional ruler and impose a Fulani Emir in Jos. That is their Jihadist objective" -- Akeem Adebayo. Punch Newspapers. Sunday January 25, 2009.

[Biafrans7]

"I can say Yar'Adua is worse than Obasanjo. Why? Because Obasanjo was somehow an extrovert who would speak his mind, but Yar'Adua does n't even speak his mind. He seems to be a serious vindictive man.. You are the president of Nigeria and can't even call the governor of Plateau state to form a committee? But you went on your own and even say you would crush him, you will finish him? -- Rev Joseph Hayab. Christian Association of Nigeria Publicity Secretary. Guardian News. Monday January 19, 2009.

[badeoye]

Okoro, abeg make una raise arm go Yoruba region..Ken Saro Wiwa na Ogoni no be Igbo..why you dey claim other people?

[badeoye]

The Yorubas are oppressing you Okoro? what are you smoking? your negative chants will not bring war upon Nigeria. We all know Nigeria is corrupt, but all you want is bloodshed.

[badeoye]

Biafra7: Lets go back to 1957 when the british first offered independence. The North (hausas) said that they weren't ready so Awolowo told Azikiwe that the East and West should go it alone. Guess what Zik refused. Zik didn't want competition from the Yorubas so he allied with the Hausas and both of them delayed our independence for another 3 years. After independence Zik got his wish and the Igbos dominated the North thereby incurring the resentment of the Hausas. .TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!

[Biafrans7]

It is 2009. Hausa-Fulani Islamic Jihadist Genocidist and Yoruba Oligarchs like Olusegun Obasanjo have ruled Nigeria for 48 years in which all the elections and census were rigged, Sovereign National Conference refused, 62-year genocide maintained against Biafrans and 400 billion dollars of oil money squandered. It will never stop until those who resent this evil resist it. Hausa-fulani and Yoruba oligarchs like Olusegun Obasanjo has dealt grave evil against the peoples of this nation.

[calexculux]

I agree Nigeria is corrupt, but so also is other nations.

I agree millions are still suffering, but that's one of the good and bad of being in Nigeia.

But u know our government are still fighting for our freedom and solution? Yaradua removed all his former leaders and warned them not to be corrupt, an oil minister has been chosen from the nigerdelta who will control the oil... but u are still not giving Nigeria a chance.

[calexculux]

Really 'am just sory for we ppl if we continue hating. I still believe in one Nigeria, Nigeria will not grow backward.

Why are we like this? Europe didn't just develop in a day? America just didn't develop in a day, China just didn't develop in a day.

Or haven';t u heard of the governor who wanted to sell obama's seat?

[calexculux]

Really I never knew this!

[calexculux]

BUT In the Uk here, ppl respecty me for being called a Nigeian, my friends talk of Nigerian films, they respect me.

I understand what u mean, but if u stay around america u will here of mexico...u curse other ppl for nothing.

Nigerian is not only the corrupt, go and check other countries. why don't u have patient and wait for change?

[VILLIANMG]

you are a fool

[VILLIANMG]

Useless Boring idiot why are you still trying to drag your Igbo people down.Ode oshi

[Foresythe]

What do you expect of someone from a morally bankrupt,defeated and backward region!He is only licking wounds a defeated nation-Biafra!

[crml7672]
