Nigerians are not terrorists

This group (on Facebook) was formed to condemn the behaviour of a lone numbskull who has just dragged Nigeria's already sodden image more into the mud. Folks, this is not a group to speak about religion...we are talking about someone who is either mad, or a moron....and has put a BIG QUESTION MARK on d sanity or sincerity of purpose of 150 million pple who are already sick of other name-callings. Period!

The lyrics of popular FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI hit: Sorrow Tears and Blood aptly sums up the real Nigerian's Attitude to life:
''i no want die
i no want quench
mama dey for house
papa dey for house
i want enjoy....'

This song, done in Nigerian pidgin english sums up thus: Our people (regardless of religion, geography or culture) DO NOT WANT TO DIE, THEY WANT TO ENJOY.Even our petty miscreants run away from the crime scene and prefer to enjoy their loot in (at least) hideaways.

For 50 long years of independence, this action has been unheard of, unseen in Nigeria or even outside Nigeria by a TYPICAL NIGERIAN even if he/she was brought up outside its shores.

That VALUE FOR LIFE IS OUR TRADEMARK. Every parent instils it in their wards as can be seen by the REPORT MADE BY HIS VERY RESONSIBLE FATHER to the US Consulate in Nigeria.

This is not about a north, south,east or west thing. This is not about religion. It is about a long held traditional attribute of Nigerians: perseverance and love of life, broken by this unfortunate incident. We are chagrined by such misbehaviour DURING a long-sought RE-BRANDING PROCESS.

We therefore use this medium to let the world know: the REAL NIGERIAN LOVES LIFE!
