This is ridiculous. Why should Nigerians apologize for this man, or mention other Nigerians who have done well? This outrage has nothing to do with Nigerians or Africans. A confused, deranged young man and his friends conconct and act out this outrage and we need to mention footballers and athletes to counter this? This is the worst kind of visceral of achieve-ism. People should not feel accountable.

Nigerians all over the world should speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen yesterday in UK.
The beheading was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality.
British born Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice yesterday beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London.
It is now being made to look like Nigeria has "shown itself again" in the action of this British boy who beheaded a soldier yesterday
This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and held a British passport. He now commits a barbaric act and suddenly he is now a Nigerian?
Is it because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa and the Three Lions, or Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion, or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder (68.24m), 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.
Nigeria should just be left out of this neo-colonial agenda. Please pass this on.
Nigerians are a great people and they are usually positive additions to any culture they join.
