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.

@ 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. |

@ Mr deekay Your madness has started again! I guess you've been skipping your prescription pills. Little wonder you're gone as far as giving yourself the username 'decay' with the typo. Oh dear! SMH |

mekaboy:i m in love with this post. BACK TO TOPIC - i hv lived in festac all my life and i must say its one of the safes place to stay in lag, the club owner must be into bad deals and probably that particular one went sour. Festac i knw accommodates the good, the bad and the ugly. If u no find trouble person no go find ur trouble. |
Re: Gun Violence At A Festac Club by Nobody: 6:58am On Sep 04, 2011 |
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. |

Lax-75 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, |

Jason2010, Without mincing words, I agree that the level of kidnapping & other criminal activities in 9ja is worrisome. I hope all concerned ( federal,state & local govts), would find solution to the almost becoming epidemic nature of these vices asap. Having said that, I think It's very wrong of anyone , including yourself to suggest that driving an expensive or late model vehicles attracts kidnappers or thieves. People have been robbed while driving earlier models vehicles as well. For you to opined that driving a Toyota Fore-runner is a safe-haven is troubling. Someone driving a 1988 Toyota Carina might equally think you are flaunting as well. Also, you said your friend from Chicago that was with you vowed not to come back to Nigeria again? That is one of those rubbish some folks spew when they are in 9Ja just to be 'stay 'relevant''. If your friend actually lives in Chicago or knows "Chi" darn too well, what happened at the Festac club shouldn't be a reason not to come back to my beloved 9ja.(we see violence in black clubs in chicago frequently) I can only come up with three reasons. Maybe he rarely goes clubbing or never been to one in Chicago,secondly he doesn't have time to watch Local News ( WGN TV, ABC 7 or other local TV) because you hear these kind of things everyday, maybe not actual kidnapping ,but all other vices. Thirdly, he might be one of those folks that comes to my beloved 9JA & starting acting like what happens in Nigeria cannot happen wherever they are coming from. I detest such group of people with passion. Reason being that they are either ignorant or just plain lying. Most Nigerians in Chicagoland area resides in Cook county. More than 80% lives within the city limits & south suburban Cook County & this is where most of the crimes are being perpetrated. If your friend actually lives in Chicago as he claims, there's a high probability he lives in the afore-mentioned. Therefore, I would expect him to act right. Unless he actually lives in Kankakee or Springfield,Illinois. Or worse still, he felt outta place in 9ja for whatever reason. Nigeria is my home & love it with passion. Chicago,Illinois's been good to me & is the best city in North America! |

harakiri: Bo$$ you be real chairman oh, when I'm still rocking molues and 'Keke Napepsas' (apologies to M.I). . .and Raji Rasaki is such a nice, cool estate; one of the best in all of Amuwo Odofin axis. But for real the poster sounds quite ignorant to suggest that anyone would single a person out for kidnap simply because he drives an X6 in Festac. I dey fear these my (typically young) obscenely rich Igbo broses for Festac die; and there are just too many of them. I wouldn't be surprised if Festac's GDP equals or surpasses those of some small African countries, lol. |
Re: Gun Violence At A Festac Club by harakiri(m): 7:34am On Sep 05, 2011 |
@pro1, I don't blame the poster for the language he used coz I doubt if he knows festac or its environment very well. As at 2009, a decent plot of land was selling for nothing less than N30million (I don't know the rate now) and he's complaining about an X6 you can buy BRAND NEW from coscharis for less than N16million (tokunbo is much cheaper). The problem with such people is their thinking complex. Instead of being motivated by the success of others, they feel intimidated and thus, they make these sort of careless utterances. In real life, these are the sort of people I strive to avoid coz all they are good in is bringing you down. If you want to rent a flat, they'll suggest you rent a BQ. If you want to drive an e-class, they'll suggest you buy an old corolla. If you want to buy land in magodo,they'll suggest you buy in mowe/ibafo. If you want to travel to bora bora for vacation,they'll suggest obudu cattle ranch. If you want to eat chicken and chips,they'll prefer you drink gari with salt! They are always negative and quick to castigate/demoralize you and yet, they would have done more if they had HALF of what you possess. Oyibo calls them "haters", 9ja calls them "bad belle". Nuff said. 1 Like |

mayjil: I'm shocked about the crime in L'ville. I thought Gwinnett county po-po don't play. And I also thought it was the southern part of Gwinnett County where all the crime was (where the hispanic and asian gangs are, esp. pleasant hill and norcross). Na wa! |

I decided that I wasn't even going to respond to all the childish attacks. But I felt that I should at least appreciate all the folks that saw it necessary to express concern about our safety that night, bless yall soul, yall are highly appreciated. To those that think that I use no brains as I yarn, and that I am comparing a $5,000 4runner to a $90,000, and all the rest of the attackers, I appreciate you guys too. It is just annoying that one cannot express his/her point of view without fellow Nigerians attacking him/her. |
