Sony's new PS3 ads upset Nigeria (that's racist!)

I first saw this Sony Ad on Twitter days ago and have since followed the comments. Well let's see, apology? Yes! Maybe for irresponsible communications on the part of Sony. But does Nigeria deserve it? Hmm! Again, may be for our re-branding efforts. However, some think otherwise because of the 419 scam escapades. On the contrary though, I think that if Black Africa can live without apology from our slave masters decades after the end of slave trade and giving the efforts the government of Nigeria is making to fight the 419 scourge, EFCC in particular. I think our white brothers should be more understanding and not spite all Nigerians with such scorn as expressed in some of the comments.

It will be that of rushing ambulances and siren from police vehicles hooting at full blare and heading in opposite directions. Accident, traffic jam, pandemonium," dog bark, baby crying, explosion, and horror will fill the air. The very existence of man will be threatened by his own ingenious creation. Is the Y2K computer bug a real threat to life on earth? Will the doomsayers' prophesy about the Y2K apocalypse come true? Robert Bemer thinks the threat of the Y2K bug is a re...

PULL DOWN THE WALL

Nigerians from all parts of the country, across sectoral, cultural, religious and political divides are strongly against any form of separation or division of the federation. The scares of the Odumegwu Ojukwu led Biafra civil war is still very fresh in our memory. Insinuations recently by Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi calling for a split of Nigerian into Christian south and Muslim north was largely seen as repulsive and condemnable. Federal government’s spontaneous reaction and recall of the Ambassador to Libya Alhaji Aliu Mohammed, was supported by both Christian and Muslim leaders. Obviously, Nigerians want to remain as one indivisible entity. However, there are calls for a sovereign national conference to bring about a truly federal constitution. Nigeria is regarded by a school of thought as a mere ‘geographical expression” of the British Colonial masters, brought about by the amalgamation of the north and south when leadership was conceded to the Muslim north under ...
