Re: Nigeria and its dual citizenship

Hi Hakeem,

I am one of those Nigerians that became American citizen about 10 years ago. Any person that has a chance to move to another place for better life but refused to go is a BIG FOUL.

YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE to all those smart graduates that attended the best colleges in Nigeria who are now corrupting the nation to stop and think. If they were smart enough to obtain a degree from Nsuka, UniLag, UI, ABU, BUK, Yaba Tech, Enugu etc, they 'gotta' be smart enough to fix the situation.

By the way, are you currently living in Nigeria? if not, do you have a green card in the States of Europe? If you have a green card what do you need it for? If you are now in Nigeria, I wish you all the best and don't forget that those of us that became American citizens are helping people not just our family members in Nigeria in different ways.

I am also one of those that did not pass the GCE after high school and will never be able to enroll in college in Nigeria. F-9 in GCE equals your college dream is over. Thanks to an American college that gave me admission based on my transcripts from Form One to Five.

Do you expect someone in my situation NOT to accept U.S citizenship? Becoming an American dose NOT mean I don't know where I came from or who my people are. I am a JUKUN by tribe and my hometown is WUKARI in the State of Taraba.

Thanks

Bombagyár TV Editor Forbids Interracial Relationship

Fekete Pako and other Nigerians


Hi!

I am the main editor of Bombagyár TV and Radio. Yes, we made that video with Olapite, alias Fekete Pako. Shame on us, right? Well, think again.What was the situation? There was this guy, who is quite embarrassing for all black people in Hungary, and is a very dangerous media performer, as a celebrated symbol of immorality. This is not good for either of us. You don't want your people to be ridiculed, and we don't want our youth to be corrupted by a foreigner - because that's what he is - and taught of promiscuity.

Well, we don't want our youth to mingle with foreigners at all, like it or not. But the guy keeps showing up in the media. His records sell in millions. There's already a reality show being planned with him. The only way to get rid of him is is to kill him. Or...

Or you remember that most of the media is controlled by Jews. And what they hate the most? So, before you judge, think of it. We got rid of him. You don't need to say a word. No need for saying thanks, this is good for both of our people. Now Hungarians don't say "all nigg**s must be like this" any more Now they say: "this nigg** is crazy." And he's expelled from the media. At last, Szalasi served a good purpose.

Finally, I am sorry if you're offended by my views, but I am against sexual relationships between races, and even certain nations. I don't want to open a debate about this, but I can ensure you that most of my compatriots share this view. Nothing personal, it's just a view.

The first Afro Valentine marks a turning point in Nigerian's career

Africans and Hungarians joined the rest of the world when some of them celebrated St Valentine Day at the József Attila Müvelődési Központ on February 14.

The event tagged Afro Valentine was organised by the Afromopicx International Cultural Organisation based in Budapest, Hungary and the Nigerian Students Union. Although the turnout was low, the occasion marks a turning point in Mr. Daniel's career and probably sets the pace on how Africans and Hungarians would celebrate subsequent Lover's Day in Hungary.

The aim of the event which is the first of its kind in Hungary, according to Mr. Daniel Israel, the President of Afromopicx, is to provide an environment where married couples could have fun, deepen their relationship, and especially promote multicultural event.

"Since the large number of Africans residing in Hungary are married couples, I feel it will be proper to use this occasion so that multicultural couples will use it as a place to have fun and to know each other more".

The event which did not start until 8 p.m (an hour before the schedule time) featured both established and up-coming bands. The African Melody, which seems to be the sensational cultural groupe in Hungary at the moment, treated the audience with two of its tracks.

Explaining why they played only two tracks, Dava Gin, the leader, said that it was due to low attendance. "We simply love to entertain the crowd".

Slang Band featuring Henry Oyeneye also performed when he thrilled the audience with his hip hop songs. Whilst Daniella and her bevy of ladies did the Samba dance with waist twisting and body shaking that exalted the imagination of the audience.

And then Eileen Quashie, a Canadian based Ghanaian singer and song writer with her four-member band. She held the audience spellbound with her sweet soulful voice. On how he came all the way from Montreal to Budapest, Ms Quashie said, "Due to my charity project, I happen to be in Budapest and along the line I met Daniel Israel, the host of the event, who then invited me to participate".

Although celebrating St Valentine Day is not Hungarian culture, Hungarians present at the event were delighted to be part of the audience because "we got lovely rose flowers from our lovers".

Meanwhile Mr. Israel said that the involvement of the Nigerian students union in events like this is highly significant. Participating more in the society in which they live is definitely an opportunity for them to "take back home both social and academic merits," adding that he hopes to make it a yearly event.

African Hungarian Union to Promote African Issues...Balogh Sándor

Interview by Hakeem Babalola

I recently interviewed the African Hungarian Union president, Balogh Sándor, who affirmed the organisation's commitment to promote African issues both in Hungary and Africa. This is a must read for Africans in Hungary dealing with African culture and, or issues. "We try to help anyone that comes to us," says Balogh who together with the secretary of the organisation, Tunde Komolafe, is participating in the Budapest Bamako Rally which started at Kossuth tér parliament on January 12. The interview that supposed to start at 4 pm did not until after 6 pm. This gave me the opportunity to follow them to a Radio House where the AHU is expected to pay 100,000 FT monthly for a phone in programme centred on African issues click and read more
