Amb.Habib Habu, Consul General of Nigeria in New York stated this in a message on Thursday.
According to him, the beheading of the 25-year-old soldier was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality.
British born Michael ‘Mujahid’ Adeboloja with an accomplice beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London.
The Consul General noted that Nigerians are a great people and that they are usually positive additions to any culture they join.
“It is now being made to look like Nigeria has shown itself `again’ in the action of this British boy who beheaded a soldier on Thursday.
“This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to Nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and hold a British passport.
“He now commits a barbaric act and suddenly he is now a Nigerian?’’ he queried.
“Is it because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa and the Three Lions, or Andrew Osagie, UK’s reigning 800 metres champion, or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder (68.24 metres), or Abiodun Oyepitan, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist.
“Or Christine Ohuruogu, Beijing Olympic British 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,’’ the Consul General stressed.
He said that Nigeria should just be left out of the wicked act, saying that “we have our own problems to contend with.’’
he said it reasonably......very patriotic.

ReplyDeleteThank u mr ambassador this white guys are terrible,they are saying he's a nigerian becos of his name,we have thousand of nigerians making them proud in all spheres of life.we should say no to this.
ReplyDeleteWe need to always speak out whenever we are being prejudiced. For all of this kind of blasphemous acts, the foreign country are always the one who have trained such ones. So if you trained someone wicked act, I don't think its right to blackmail another country
ReplyDelete" Nigerians are a great people and that they are usually positive additions to any culture they join".
ReplyDeleteNice one Ambassaodor Habib Habu. They always want to connect negativity to Nigeria & Nigerians!!!!!
May his soul rest in peace- the british soildier.
ReplyDeleteI like your truth talk sir, our president should speak out,
ReplyDeleteThank you Ambassador. This British people are not serious. When a Nigerian with their passport do good things they take him or her as thier own; when he or she commit atrocity they disown them. It is food for thought for Nigerian professional in Britain to come back and use their skill for their father so that we their brothers abd sisters at home can benefit
ReplyDeleteI am very happy with the comment.

ReplyDeleteGod Bless our Country, Amen, Mr Ambassador may your Days be long Amen.
