Usually I don’t talk about mainstream news event until this one: A Nigerian youth tryna to blow a plane, wow, really. I’ve always argued with my friends that Nigerians (or Africans) would be the last to want to kill themselves because of some religion–they love life as it is and are quite ‘chicken’. Apparently, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has proved me wrong.
Now, not only will Nigerians (like me) have to wade off the stigma of we being frauds and scammers, we will also now have to deal with being terrrorist…Damn! We have it twice worse now than the Arabs.
And for we Nigerians living in US, it means (source: alternet.org):
A crazy idiot appears to have set off firecrackers on an airplane. Do you know what this EVEN MEANS?
1. It means Greater Wingnuttia is going to get the very special happy Christmas they most desire, because what they like best of all is to wet their pants in an ecstasy of hysterical screeching;
2. It means now every time we get on a plane we’re going to have to get to the airport six hours early, then strip to our skivvies, stand on one foot, hold our nose, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance backwards before we can get to the gate to find out exactly how long the flight is delayed. Also, we won’t be allowed on board while in the possession of any bodily fluids.
This Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab geek, what a dick.
Also he was apparently an engineering student. What the fuck is it with engineers and silly ideological extremism? You also see lots of climate denialist engineers infesting blog comment threads. Weird.

Lol yea when I heard a nigerian blowing up I thought of u lol. Not saying u wud do anything like that but ur nigerian n u have the opposite views
plus I’ve only seen/heard crazy religious christians from nigeria, no crazy muslim nigerian.
but anyway. trust me being a nigerian in US is nowhere close to being muslim in US or looking like mid eastern. Its funny that ppl just look at ppl like me or my bros that look indian/middle eastern n expect we’re terrorist :S I mean I’m not even religious, much less an extremist.
It reminds me of a funny incident that happened on the train one time. It actually made me mad when it happened. I don’t know if u know or remember like a couple of yrs ago when there was controversy over a book in muslim countries. I think the writer’s name was rushdi (rashdi?I don’t remember) so during that time I was on a train one day reading kant for one of my classes. And this old white man next to me smiled n said “good that ur reading kant, he’s much better than rushdi” I was like oook? In my head I’m thinking way to go old man, just cuz I look middle eastern u expect me to hate rushdi? Lol

I never delete comments off my blog, unless when the commenting system thinks it's spam hence would not post. I'm guessing it just probably didn't post, I'd look into it.
