Jason2010,

I am writing from the US and it is very very very sad that people like you and your friend always want to make Nigeria out to be the worst place on earth.  He vowed never to return to Nigeria again because of that and you said he is from Chicago.  

What a laugh, people ask him what Chicago is known for here in the States besides the whom of the Bulls as well as  Oprah and Obama. How many drive bys take place in Chicago every day, how many innocent Nigerians have been killed in the streets of Chicago in the past couple of years.  How often do fights and gunshots go off in the day and at nights at clubs here.  wether you will have a million police and the club short down how often are these so called shootings and killings solved.

I can go on and on, remember Tupac and Biggie, those cases are still not solved, here in Atlanta, a few club killings are still unsolved.  So could these fools stop with the disrespect already.  I am proud to be a Nigerian no matter what.

While it is unfortunate that these types of things are happening in Nigeria does not any way diminish the fact that it is still a good place.

East or West Home is best.

What part of Atlanta are you? I see a tonne of cases on Atlanta everyday. Very high crime rate. And the crimes are more viscious than that in Nigeria. The only thing is that the police are more equiped and trained than ours in Nigeria.

@ Ije004, First off, there are enough money bags in Festac to sink you and those pretentious island folks, you assume that they are broke because they party in Festac, so if i live over an hour from a club on the island you would want me to drive all the way, drink and then drive back to the mainland just to show i have money to burn. You are one of the folks with serious esteem issues wey dey follow follow the crowd. you f, ing dumb biatch. i lived in Atlanta for six years and i know folks who dont go downtown to party when they have somewhere close by they can go to you fool.

God blees you. Do you know many Nigerians overseas are the ones spreading lies and rumors against our dear country. Infact I dont have the strength to talk again, but for me Nigeria is the best country on earth irrespective of the light wahala, USA is not safe, London is not safe. We have only one country which is Nigeria. These fools can go to Japan and live forever, WE WILL NEVER MISS THEM, Wise Diaspora Nigerians are returning home to either invest or take up opportunities, the foolish ones say they dont want to come back as if we are begging them, Do you know how many innocent Nigerians that have been killed in UK and USA this year alone?

LAGOS NA WA OO, THIS TYPE OF THING ONLY HAPPENS IN LAGOS.


IF THERE IS SHOOTING IN HEAVENS NIGHT CLUB, I WONDER WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN HELL NIGHT CLUB , 

my question is, why would somebody drive such a car (X6 2011 BMW) in Festac?

. . . If that club owner was driving a lower level SUV, like the 4runner that I drive, and kept a low profile, maybe his life wouldn’t be at stake.

How I wish not to have read this post o, now I dey fear to drive/ride my Bajaj motorbike commot. I need to go get escort be dat o

You're kidding right? You're obviously not familiar with Festac. . .maybe that was your first time there. Otherwise you would know that there are prolly a zillion X6s in that place. . .coupled with countless G-Class, Range Rovers, LR 3s, GL 4matics, etc. Not to mention a handful of Bentleys and at least two RR Phantoms and Mercedes Mclaren. I hang out in Festac Town fairly often and so I am quite familiar with the banality of affluence that characterizes the place. I would have you know that an X6 is not necessarily a stand-out car there. Try Maybach or something. The Igbo boys (and men) in that part of Lagos are simply too prosperous for words to describe. . .and they are never modest in their choice of automobiles.

After reading this post earlier I asked some of my peeps who are regulars at HEAVENS about the incident you reported, and from their account it seems someone (or some people) have scores to settle with the owner of the club - perhaps a 'business' deal gone awry or something like that. It certainly wasn't an ordinary kidnap attempt - less so because he drives an X6 or is rich or flashy. Too many 'chairmen' in Festac don't even drive X6s anymore - they buy it for their wives. If na kidnap, there are a thousand and one richer and flashier guys in Festac for kidnappers to feast on.

harakiri:

Abeg, helep me tell dem ooo!

I don't know what the big deal is with BMW X6 (when peeps like me dey patiently wait for the next generation BMW Z8 to come out. . .lol ). I lived close to Festac (Raji Rasaki Estate) for years and most guys there are loaded to the teeth. Even with the bad roads, men no send govt message. If e possible to maintain Ferrari for 9ja, those guys go buy am (and somebody dey hia dey cry over BMW X6 wey don become "pure water". Shior.

lol

I am in L'Ville which has also become the most violent part of Gwinnett County in the past couple of years.

Ricky Ross:
You are 3000% correct, it is most of us here who go home and spread fallacy about that great Country of ours. Not sure what is so wonderful about a place where everything is an illusion(come and see American Wonder- magic now you see it now you don't) nothing is as it seem. What is yours is not yours, not even your child.  The same fools will return from Naija refreshed and then they start on their high blood pressure medicine.

With all the state of the art crime fighting equipment here go to any part of this USA and see how many unsolved cases.

I know some of you are going to condemn me by saying that I am just saying this because am here and not there. I will we can all take off our clouded glasses and see things the way they are. I am a proud Nigerian,even with the negative press we get here, Up Naija, Naija Until I Die,
