1. I read about this and couldn’t help thinking that this is one of the most ridiculous ones yet by Ms Okereke-Onyiuke.

2. Shallow and empty sounding words by Ndidi. Dont blame Obama campaign for not wanting anything to do with a deranged, uneducated sounding “black” woman from Nigeria. A crying shame - and a Prof!!!

6. Yes Ndidi made a mistake. But lets no over blow this issue.

   Look everybody makes mistakes, even you reading this. Some of you have done worse sef. I see no reason for people to overly criticize her. Haba.

   In times like this, people forget all the good things one has done. As the bible says, the fly really makes the apothecarys ointment to stink.

   That woman has spearheaded the Nigerian stock exchange over the last serveral years. If not for the recent downturn in the market due to some govt policies (or lack there of), the NSE has grown steadily under her leadership. She has done a lot to strenghten the economy.

   But people quickly forget that.

   You can have her head on a plate if you want. But remember that with the same measure you mete, it shall be meted out to you.

   Chikina!

9. Hi Joseph,

   Yes Barack Obama is Mixed Race (am told half/cast is now a derogatory word). Nevertheless, from time past and up to the present day, the black half of mixed race men and women, have always been given pre-eminence. Its been either that you are black or you are white or other. Which would you prefer to use? Whatever your choice, poeple will have to accept what you tell them. I dont see Barack Obama denying that he is black, so we accept he is black, that’s all. If he has insisted on Mixed Race, people will have to accept it, but at the same time, people could chide him for appearing to be ashamed of the black half in him.

   Am happy you are pointing this out. Maybe we should quickly tell all American Voters to remember to vote for the white in Obama,- as well as the black.

   Black or white or mixed, we are all the same and have RED BLOOD running through our veins. We should be proud of what we are. I love mixed race and have a few very loved ones in my family.

   Remain bleesed.
