CONTRIBUTIONS BY NIGERIANS TO THE UKRAINE DEBACLE PART2 …each paragraph represents individual comments/contribution… 21. Nigerians if we must, should only go to friendly countries legally and leave at the end of whatever business took them there..it’s time to develop our own country and stop being the poster boys for illegality, corruption and abused the world over. Imagine a Nigerian getting educated in Ukraine..it’s just a misnomer! 22. i just dey laugh oooo,the reason is that i cn feel the hurt in ppls comments about this issue ,but nigerians will never never never listen you ,as far as they are concerned ,they are smarter and more intelligent than you advicing them,and also to them you dont know anything about abroad.have you ever wondered why nigerians keep taking drugs to saudi arabia knowing fully well that if they are caught they would be beheaded? 23. The main reason why many young students go to Ukraine is because of the cheap tuition fees, Universities in Ukraine for all i know are below universities in Asia such as, Japan, Hong Kong and India in the World University Ranking, the average tuition fee for a good universities in Japan, Hong Kong and India cost between $6000 to as high as $15,000 such as IIT in India, but the bottom line is that trust Nigerians they like cheap things, and the tot of going to europe not the knowledge to acquire, because i dont know why an engineering or IT student will choose to go to Ukraine instead of Asia and learn how things are done. 24. First of all. The black guy in the video is not a Nigerian and this video was last year April. I am not supporting anyone. Just let us be more detailed in what we show people on forums. 25. how does that change anything. Does the black guy have to be Nigerian (any black guy will do) or does the video have to be yesterday? VicJustice don talk hin own, he who have ears, make dem hear. Dem no say make small pikin no catch leprosy, make e carry go if only am fit sleep for bush grin 26. what does the guy there is not a Nigerian means, the point is that this people are racists SIMPLE 27. THE RECENT VIOLENCE WHICH TOOK PLACE DURING THE UNDER 21 MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SERBIA (WHEN BLACK ENGLAND PLAYERS AND FANS WERE RACIALLY ABUSED BY EASTERN EUROPEAN FANS IN KRUSEVAC) EXEMPLIFIES THE RACIST ANIMALISTIC TENDENCIES AMONGST THE EASTERN EUROPEAN PEOPLE. STAY CLEAR OR GO THERE AT YOUR OWN PERIL. 28. of all countries to go ukraine abeg is there no important event to discuss on this thread,pls lets move on as for those still desperate for ukraine dnt forget to say bye to ur folks, l mean till eternity cos na die u go die for Ukraine 29. DO YOU THINK THOSE SKINHEADS CARE WHERE YOU COME: NIGERIA OR ZIMBABWE? AND WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHETHER THE SCENE WAS FILMED IN 2010 OR 2012? WAKE UP TO REALITY MAN. BE WISE(R) 30. Exactly..once again you are Spot on!!….why would someone want to Leave africa now…when most Whites i know are thinking of relocating to Abuja or Capetown 31. Trust me, Ukraine and Naija dey the same level. The only difference is that temperatures can get really low in one if the countries and it snows, while it doesn’t snow in the other. Infact, Nigeria is even better! I have a couple of friends from Ukraine, & although they are alright, I know they come from a DEADLY country. Whenever I’m invited to Kiev, for my mind, I go dey bind and cast demons. Nigerians, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. To make matters worse, you are even Nigerian! Double error! If they harass dark skinned English footballers, how much more ‘black’ Naija guy (not even babe) Lesson: save yourselves the pain and torture! OTHER INCIDENTS 32. A Nigerian student is languishing in Ukrainian jail for allegedly defending himself against six teenagers who attacked him in an entrance to his apartment block on November, 5 last year in Luhanski , Ukraine. African Outlook gathered that the Nigerian identified as Olaolu Sunkanmi Femi and one of his friends were physically attacked in front of his apartment by four Ukrainian young men and two women who pulled them to the ground while hurling racist slurs on them. According to eye witness account, Sunkanmi was said to have managed to get up and defended himself against the assailants with a glass from a broken bottle “It was while he was defending himself that police arrived at the scene and the Nigerian was subsequently arrested and charged with attempted murder of five people” a Nigerian embassy staff who has knowledge of the case told African Outlook, adding that the victim thus became an accused in a case which has become a celebrated case in Ukraine.” African Outlook gathered that Olasunkanmi has since been remanded in detention by the Ukrainian police who refused to take the case to court citing unavailability of the police to get an interpreter for him. But the Nigerian students’ community in Ukraine under the leadership of Osarumen David-Izevbokun, a Phd student in international relations has been working tirelessly to ensure justice for the Nigerian by organizing protests as well as drawing the attentions of the human right groups in Ukraine to the plight of Olasunkanmi who has spent almost seven months in jail without trial. David-Izevbokun told African Outlook that he alongside other Nigerian students in conjunctions with some members of the Ukrainian human right groups staged a protest on April, 9 outside the Leninsky District Court in Luhanski demanding the release of Olasunkanmi. The actions, according to David-Izevbokun has put the Ukraine police on the spot as the case came up for hearing on May 3. “We had a lot of media coverage on the protest ” David-Izevbokun said, noting that he was sure the attention given the case may have prompted the May 3 court appearance of the suspect. David-Izevbokun who was at the May 3, court hearing told African Outlook that Olasunkanmi appeared depressed when he showed up in court.Many other Nigerian students spoken to by African Outlook however raised concern about the competence of the female lawyer: Ludmila Havrysh handling Olasunkanmi’s case.The Ukrainian lawyer was reported to have told protesters that her client has not been able to read the file material since it is all written in Ukrainian or Russian which he doesn’t understand and that was why her client had remained in jail. “We heard she wanted to be paid $10,000 when she had not even been able to secure bail for her client who has been in detention for more than six months” an irate Nigerian told African Outlook wondering whether the lawyer was capable of defending Olasunkanmi. Another source also told African Outlook that one of the attackers’s family who has a connection with the Ukrainian police may have been the reason why the Nigerian student was being detained without trial. “They went to the hospital and documents were secured for infliction of wounds. I learnt that one of the supposed victim (Ukrainian) has a police relative or parent, and so vowed to deal ruthlessly with Olasunkanmi” a Nigerian student quoted one narrator as saying while lamenting that the Nigerian embassy’s representative came to visit Olasunkanmi in jail once but did not return again after the first visit. But an embassy spokesperson who pleaded anonymity (because he is not authorized to comment on the case) told African Outlook that the Nigerian consulate had not abandoned the Nigerian to his fate “We are in torch with the Ukrainian authority and we have been doing everything to ensure the boy is released unconditionally using diplomatic channel” he said, adding that the Olasunkanmi was being charged for attempted murder, an offense which under Ukrainian law is not bailable.”There are ways in which we handle cases like this so that we would not appear to be hostile or criticizing our host countries’ laws” the embassy staff said while assuring that he was confident Olasunkanmi would be released soon. When asked if the embassy has been able to secure the service of an attorney for the Nigerian student, the embassy staff said: “It is not within our mandate to pay for attorney’s fees for any Nigerian in distress, you may check this out with other Nigerian embassies abroad, but we have been working with the Nigerian community leaders here to ensure that we do everything within our means to help Olasunkanmi in time of his need” the staff added hinting that the representative of the embassy was at the May 3 hearing. In a related development African Outlook gathered that a 28-year-old Nigerian student of Kharkiv National Radio Electronic University is in intensive care unit with knife injuries to his neck following an attack on him by people believed to be racists. Another 19-year-old Nigerian student from the Poltava Agrarian Academy is also lying critically ill in the Ukrainian hospital following knife injury inflicted on him by yet to be identified persons. African Outlook gathered that the two Nigerian students were attacked late in the evenings by assailants who fled the scene immediately after the attacks. The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Ukraine are treating both cases as attempted murder motivated by racial intolerance. Speaking on the two recent attacks, the Nigerian embassy said they were yet to be briefed on the case. When you (African Outlook) called to inquire about the attacks, we made several calls and have confirmed it happened, but we do not have details yet, we will let you know the identities of the victims as soon as we have information on it and be rest assure we will do our best to ensure the Nigerians get justice” the embassy staff added. African Outlook can confirm that many Africans including Nigerians have been killed in Ukraine by white supremacy gangs known as Skin heads in the past. extracted from NL
