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.
