Oh my goodness, this is awful news. My thoughts go out to his family.

very sad news rip. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends!

Nigeria is a very dangerous country! It’s over populated and under funded. Corruption is rife and ethnic instability is a huge problem, not to mention a general low value placed on life. I travel to Lagos and Abuja regularly and I see it with my own eyes.
Prime targets for attack and kidnapping are white foreigners and sadly going to work there in my opinion is a high risk venture, iv an armed guard when I’m there and I’m not allowed out of the hotel so I feel ok but leaving the major cities is just a massive no no!

Sadly I also feel this has led to a very defensive and aggressive culture amongst Nigerians on a whole. On an individual basis you can have a laugh with them but by and large I would not feel comfortable in the company of Nigerian individuals especially if a transaction of sorts is taking place.

I also travel to the likes of Ghana, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania and Angola and I just do not find the same aggressiveness and dishonesty amongst these nationalities!

Having said that, iv heard some rather unusual and similarly unpleasant comments about Irish overseas too!

But back to the subject, how awful for the family!

fake police checkpoints etc are rife all over Nigeria and locals are all too aware of the risks in certain areas. Unfortunately it’s a common occurance

his poor family :(

So sad for his family and friends and to be murdered in clod blood condolences to his family friends and all who knew him may he rest in peace

It’s a white heterosexual man pride march that we need! Everyone else gets one!

I stand up and say I don’t like the majority of Nigerians! It’s their culture, it’s my opinion!!! I’m not racist either.

S**t, a tragedy,condolences ti the family, from friends who have gone on business; don’t go without danger money.

The comments are strange and moving away from the tragedy of a life lost, I feel for this mans family – be it in behola or in any part of africa. Very sad.

Other comments for another day, only right – please

R.I.P Robert Gray.
I agree with a lot of the comments about Nigerians.
I’m half Nigerian and I have to say that that country is a disgrace.
The people are a disgrace and I for one will never ever step foot in that country again.
Advice to non Africans. Europe is different from Africa. You go there at your own risk. These things happen everyday over there. I wouldn’t advice anyone to go to Nigeria. Its just signing your death.
But I can also say not all Nigerians are aggressive and arrogant. Just a small bit aren’t.

Yet again . R.I.P Robert Gray and Deepest Condolences to His family.

What a terrible comment. Narrow-minded, ignorant, cynical, racist.

he’s been trollin’ hard all day by the looks of things, pay no mind

Yes, his words are NOT racist. Even white people are playing the racist card against each other. I don’t agree with his comment.

But please don’t use this word out of context.

What is this world coming too. R.I.P

Individuals committed this horrible crime, not the whole Nigerian community. What a narrow minded and uneducated statement to make.

Good lord, what is wrong with you?

Well said D. All the comments about the people of Nigeria no matter what spirit they are made in are definitely out of place here and are insensitive to the family of Mr. Gary. Condolences to his family and friends

He’s just a ******* idiot

What rubbish. Can’t expect Nigerians in Ireland to prevent this type of thing. n

‘after all we do for the nigerian community in this country, this is a terrible crime’, there is absolutely nothing racial about that comment but I agree with the rest

i am engaged to a ex nigerian soldier and have some nogerian friends yet i agree with alot of what ha been said my thoughts with the family at this time r i p but it is not a good country and i will never ever go there and they are very aggressive and arrogant

Martians ah yea there a bit weird aren’t they ???? But those foreigners…

Now Connor are you just trolling?

such a small narrow mind you have!!

I’m Nigerian and when people talk bad about my country, not only does it NOT reflect well on me but it also makes me feel sad:(
I’m NOT arrogant, aggressive, ignorant or whatever stuff people say.
I also have tons of Nigerian friends who act in such-like manner as me(humble, honest, kind)
My point being ‘you can’t judge over 170 million people based on your observations of 50 persons or more.
I’m not in denial of the fact that there can be some jackass people who are Nigerians but in life it’s always best to look for people who can build you up in a positive way, be it Nigerians or not.
If also by any chance you have come across a certain Nigerian who acted cold or rude towards you, today on behalf of my country and people i sincerely apologize.
If you continue to keep an open mind towards us the world would be a better place.
I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to Robert Gray’s family whom undeniably has gone through difficult times because of the death of their loved one.
I hope the Nigerian government, president, people who deals with foreign affairs do all that is in their power to compensate the death of Mr Robert if need be, and also it’s important that the government( those in power) take necessary action in order to prevent further loss of foreigners or citizens by incidence such as this one.
This is the least i can do to contribute to a better tomorrow
I’m dutiful

Gray , sorry

Ok Paul

Just my opinion, a piece of bedtime rhetoric…

I just think this guy BEN MC LOUGHLIN in capital letter, is some how mad or may be he is mentally disorder.U cant brand a whole country just cos somebody died.There ar good and lovly nigerians as there ar bad too and this applied to every country on earth ok.U live in the u.k. and yet u ar not expose cos u ar blind. This world is full of shit and restless cos of people like u.Ofcouse the death of anyone at all should be condem and rebuke ok but when u start branding a whole country and think that is part of our culture then,thats were u over step ur mark ok.I live in ireland and terrible tins happen here as well,will that make me brand all irish as being the same?No.,so u guys should better grow up ok.
