I think with China becoming a world power to be reckoned with, this is a god idea.  An even better idea will be to introduce into all schools in Nigeria-basic life saving techniques. It's a pity that thousands of lives are lost in road accidents because bystanders and witnesses to such accidents stand around the accident scene doing nothing.  Do we all remember the plane crash and people standing around taking pictures and stealing from the dying.  No one has a clue how to administer CPR  to the heart. In a country like Nigeria where an ambulance service is practically non existent, this is a big  problem. And even more outrageous, where we do have an ambulance (one to every one thousand people) the people who drive  them are just drivers and  have no training (or if they do they don't use it) . I won't talk about their attitude towards the patients they carry that is an entirely different story for another day!!!! So please consider this on the school curriculum.

I think she would have looked prettier with her own hair!!!!

People who aspire for high positions in the land, please ensure you marry from the right stock!!! For those too silly or illiterate or both to understand the underlying meaning, I am saying do not just go for someone who went through advanced education but for someone who shows the quality of what they learnt.  And P.S. it is not a crime to deliver an address in your mother tongue. All the great leaders of the world do it even when they are proficient in another foreign language.  I am sorry "First Lady" but you have a poor command of English (our lingua franca) and it is embarrassing!

Sorry but I will rather continue to pay DOUBLE on a foreign airline to get home!!!!

Truth is bitter.

Another promising young Nigerian trying to make a good future for herself and family murdered!

Murdered by those Nigerians who messed up their own lives and think going on a killing spree is the way to riches.

If you murderers are reading this, you WILL be caught. If the incompetent Nigeria police don't you catch someone else will.

I am appealing to those Nigerians who may have a hint of whom the murderers are, to come forward albeit anonymously and tell the authorities.  

Silly boy. Wanted quick money and of course, he was most probably honored in his village as a "life saver" and "Chrisitian."
What a mess. His family should be ashamed of what they have contributed to society!
The blood of the murdered is on the hands of the whole family especially if no one sat him down to discover where all his "wealth" was coming from.
They should be arrested as accomplices.

The correct term is "able bodied" and not "fit people."

Don't get too carried away with the invitation. Try reading wider and you will see other dignitaries of  prominence from around the world have been invited.

I do not understand the need to announce she was an albino? If this was a foreign newspaper in Europe we would all be shouting "racism."

In Nigeria they would have been condemned as witches!!!!!

They lied on their visa application. They had no intention of going back after the London 2012 games. It was all part of a bigger plan.  They probably have a lawyer on stand by ready to plead their case. And if the games ended in August, why do they have a visa up until November? They are probably already dreaming about the council house they will be given by the UK government and other benefits!  And before you know it, their whole extended family will be here. What a farce!!!

That's one neat way to get the votes of Nigerians legally living in the USA.

Smart move Mr President!!

They will not be considered for asylum. Their "defence" is that they will not be allowed to box again if they return home.   They are able bodied and young they can find another job. Cameroun is one of the stable African nations in the continent.  All nations now around the world are in recession. They do not need more people not happy that they will not be able to box again as refugees. Do they have the educational qualifications to better themselves?

Other athletes from worse off nations and who anticipated in the Olympic games in London have since returned home and got on with their lives.  They should do the same!   

This is a programme showed early last year if not even earlier than that.

So what made it important to reference it now?

I watched it. Nothing was stage managed. It showed Nigeria as we are.

I bet the NTA could not have done it any better.

People who say they never say or show anything good about Nigeria make me laugh and I suppose either they lack access to cable TV, watch the wrong programmes or have never left the shores of Nigeria. There are numerous things on TV that highlight the goodness of Nigeria. Also Nigerians complain about governors and the president being in power only to make themselves rich and so we too portray the country, Nigeria in bad light. Not every governor or president is a thief.  May be if Nigerians made less negative statements  about the country BBC will not have to come in and prove disgruntled Nigerians correct in their perceptions.



 

The fire service arrived without water in their tanks!! And we wonder why the world laughs at us.

They will not be deported as a result of racism. They will be deported as they will as from November 2012 be illegal citizens.
And as far as I am concerned they should be deported. By the next Olympics in Rio, Brazil they will be too old to represent any country.
They knew this was their last opportunity to make a name for themselves and they failed.

It's no different from a family that disowned their daughter from marrying into a different tribe in Nigeria.

I won't say which two tribes were involved.

The Sun newspaper treated them at Nando's.
Typical of the British tabloids. Bribe them in this case with a meal (they look starved!) and leave them to make derogatory staements about the land of their birth. They even posed for a picture. Bad move!!!! No place to hide. The Sun has informed immigration.  They should be sent back home.  They have no ambition. Someone whose dream is to meet the Queen of England (with no disrespect to her) and Wayne Rooney (the footballer) will not in any way help the "boxers" achieve their dreams. By the look of things they never intended to represent their country but used it as a fully paid trip to make the motherland look bad. I would like to know what they meant by saying they would not be allowed to box again if they return home. So, do they think they are going to represent England or Great Britain (hope they know the difference) ? If they do they are more stupid than they sound!  They should be returned to their Cameroon (the country is not unstable and so they are not running away from any danger) immediately and  be cautioned.  
It's the foreign students (facing deportation in 3 months time) studying at the Metropolitan University in London that need our support.
Sorry guys England does not need boxers they have their own home grown trained ones. If they were brain surgeons they may have been considered. Yeah right!!!!
