I Still Love Nigeria

This is not my write up, it was sent to me as one of those broadcast messages. Just thought i'd share :)

Nigerians all over the world should speak out and condemn the beheading of a Citizen yesterday in UK. The beheading was done by a British Citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated his name doesn't confirm his nationality. This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to Nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and holds a British passport. Suddenly he is now a Nigerian! This guy is not a Nigerian. British born Micheal Mujahid Adebolaja with Accomplice yesterday beheaded a British soldier on a street in Woolwich London. Because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor

playing for Aston Villa and Three Lions or Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder or Abiodun Oyepitan

British Olympic Silver and Gold medalist or Christine Ohuruogu Beijing Olympic Gold medalist or Eniola Aluko British Olympic Female football star or Temi Fagbenle,

 British Olympic Basketball queen or several other thousands of  British citizens with Nigerian connection who are making the country proud, it is being make to look like Nigeria has "shown itself again" in the action of the British boy who beheaded a soldier yesterday. Nigeria should just be left out of this.  Please pass on to educate the ignorant ones.


My own is this, fact that this is not our land, either we like it or not we are foreigners here so anything "we" will be blown out of proportion, bad ones i mean. The good one will be praised but of course bad news travel faster. The media will always be biased against us, more reason we should be good reps of our country wherever we are.

I hope the world out there knows that all Nigerians are not the same.  Treat people as individuals and not with prejudice.
