Omenani:

And the sad part about this is that he actually paid the $5 million dollars back. The judge was harsh to give him 3 years in jail even after he paid his debt.

I think it is, because he was black. They did the same thing to Michael Vick.

Aloy+Emeka:

But he is disrespecting her womanhood. Why should women allow themselves to be treated like sexx objects?.

@ Sean 21, They cant creat a new logo, it is a SYNDICATED show, NOT a copy. If you watch the closing credits of Nigerian Idol you will see Fremantal media,which is the company who owns the Idol brand the same company behind the UK/US one. The licensed Optima Media Group to have the Nigerian Idol show, complete with logo and theme tune etc as they do with all versions around the world.


Its like opening a Mcdonalds and expecting to have your own trademark sign, thats not how it works.

@ others, people dont have to assume that everything involving Nigeria is somehow bent or underhand. This is genuine.

Bullshit and u know it

logica:

Could it just be that the "Idol" show is a franchise?

I've been to stormfront just once and that was over 4 yrs ago. No i'm just more aware of the fact that unlike many of you, a mere passport does not define my existence. For you, life would probably be a meaningless existence but for the grace of a US passport . . . that is probably why you cling so much to the nonsensical feel-good "we are all immigrants" claim. You'd be shocked to find out that the same educated whites will confidently tell you this land is theirs . . . its false to think they just assume its not theirs . . . you must have been listening to too much liberal theology infused with a strong dose of white guilt.

fstranger:

Huh, you are so sweet. No hard feelings, ok?.

Good luck with your life. Pls, enjoy your turkey. Nothing do you!

I enjoy internet fights, nothing personal ok?

And BTW, English and Education is fine. Just work hard and your dreams will definitely come true. I am rooting for you ok?

fstranger:

Eventhough I did not major in English, and I work as a cleaner in Lagos, I will do my best to educate you:

Lie is an intransitive verb (one that does not take an object), meaning "to recline."  Its principal parts are lie (base form), lay (past tense), lain (past participal), and lying (present participle)

Lay is a transitive verb (one that takes an object), meaning "to put" or "to place."  Its principal parts are lay (base form), laid (past tense), laid (past participle), and laying (present participle).

If you see something lying on the ground, it is just resting there, like those dead bodies you referred to; if you see something[b] laying [/b] on the ground, it must be doing something else, such as laying eggs.

When you see dead bodies on the floor, they are  lying  there, not[b] laying [/b] there

Hope that helps

u're just 20 so all you have is a rosy picture of a country you love and are determined to turn a blind eye to its faults.

1. I'm not a black american who believes the world is out to get me . . . i believe a black man can succeed here with hardwork and i have never faced outright racism. I have no problems with it.

2. Most extreme rightwing republicans DO NOT BELIEVE black people or latinos should be in this country. Fact.

3. Your claim that america has always been a country of immigrants is simply the sop many of you new immigrants use to console yourselves. There is a difference between naturalised citizens like you and those who can trace their lineage back to the 1700s in this country. You are NOT the same.

4. Sorry, millions of whites do lay claim to this country. Ask them what they mean by "taking their country back".

Bottomline, you are merely a recipient of America's economic policy to recruit people to shore up the social security system. Enjoy the privileges and take advantage of the opportunities given to you. Misplaced patriotism makes no sense.

davidylan:

the unfortunate part is that America doesnt love you and if the republicans had their way we'd all be back cooling our heels in our individual jungles in Africa. Yes you saw ruin in Liberia and so? America started from there as well, if its citizens just up and quit to Germany were would you be today?

davidylan:

I'm not saying your goals are unreachable, just wondering if you've put a thought to economic viability of the line of work you are going into. you do know that those school loans have to be paid back no?
