  27. Dis news already caused wahala btw myself and my oyinbo racist flatmate. Always sending me negative stuff abt Nigeria but dis particular one wasn't funny. She had the balls to tell me to notify my family members in Nigeria before they send me human flesh as meat. I am still showing her pepper up until till now and will continue to. Bloody racist

  28. Where are Nigeria's legal luminaries, such as, the SANs and the rest? Why can't they get together and SUE the ass off the BBC and all its affiliates? Someone needs to take the fraudelent BBC to the cleaners so next time around, they and their accomplices will think twice about disrespecting other peoples/cultures, particularly Africans as a whole.

  29. The damage has be done already. Let them pack well

  30. Take it from me, this is South African people at work. They have been doing whatever it takes to re-direct attention from them since the xenophobia incident followed by the KFC incident. If this really is to be investigated, you'd see, this is their handwork. They must have paid someone at BBC Swahili to spread this lies. Sad part is, once something gets to the internet, that'sit. It can never be taken back.

  31. And a lot of people were throwing insults here and there.


    All those that poured abuses on Anambra people and Igbo because of unverified stories should ask God for forgiveness
