It is sad to see young Africans especially women getting themselves into silly things which have the tendency to ruin their lives and future…
A 22 year old pretty Nigerian Model-Shonola Smith has found herself at the wrong side of the law and has been sentenced to 6 months for looting an Argos Store during the Croydon Riot.
Shon0la was arrested with her sister-Alicia Smith and their 22-year-old friend ‘Donness Bissessar’ when police invaded the building on Monday night.
And guess what? When Alicia was arrested by the police she was carrying ten packs of chewing gum that she had earlier stolen from a nearby Kwik Stop convenience store . She admitted theft…CHEWING GUM? What a foolish thief!
Whatever pushes certain Africans to get involve in such things is beyond my thinking…Now, you go do your MODELLING for prison… Nonsense!
She stole 10 packs of chewing gum ? come on ! Is it that she can’t afford it or what ? That’s sad I feel bad for them .
@Flawless x3,its not that she cant afford it but people just grabbed the opportunity some of them where just being stupid and following some of their friends
@Miyagi, Yeahhh I understand
This is a shame, so a nice girl like this is a thief? Nigerians will never cease to surprise me. After prison, she will turn into a big thief or 419 Big MAMA
NO MATTER WHAT WILL HAPPEND NIGERIANS WILL NEVER STOP STEALING AND 419 AS WELL,A GOAT WILL BE A GOAT…
NO WONDER THEY ARE USE TO IT ,ANY WAY IT IN THEIR BLOOD AND THEY ARE PROUD OF IT ,THEY CALL IT SMARTNESS THOUGH!
@27 calibre, yes we are the only ppl that steal of course…
@GoldenGurl, I love white woman black woman are useless!
@27 calibre, you sound like all the white pm bigots saying it is only ethnic looting whats the diff btw you and them…I just dont understand why you have to hate on your own when we get enuff of that from white ppl ? what’s up with that. So you trying to tell me not one person from Ghana did ANY looting coz it was not reported here? oh come on now…plz just makes me think with comments like that, if you were white you would surely be racist…if you can hate on ppl the same race as you…shameful.
@GoldenGurl, exactly what i wrote…articles lyk dese spread nothing but hate… nigerian and ghana probably have the highest rate of africans in the area this looting occurred… I LOVE MY 9JA PPLE AT LEAST DEY DONT FRONT
@GoldenGurl,i am sure you did not get me well i am saying you nigerians are proud of crime [419] and youe PEOPLE CALL IT SMARTNESS NA LIE?
HOW CAN YOU BE PROUD OF FRAUD WHICH MAKES YOU SMART ,AND FOR YOUR INFO THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT NIGERIA THAT I WILL HATE ABOUT IT ,AND NO GHANAIN WILL SAY HE OR SHE IS PROUD OF FRAUD WHICH YOU PEOPLE CLAIM IT SMARTNESS..
@27 calibre, you are as racist as the white man simple.
@GoldenGurl,well said
@27 calibre, hahahaha you love white women coz no black woman in her right or incorrect mind would give you time of day….you sound like you don’t even like yourself so how can you love woman from your own background…let dem white chicks have you…one less dickhead for us to deal with 😀
Nigerians were not the only Africans to steal during these riots…and stereotyping a whole country just based on one persons actions if not fair
btw i read on either myjoyonline or ghanaweb that Ghanaian were also caught stealing…this is a Ghanaian blog so if ur reporting on Nigerians it will only b fair if you do the same about your own people…(I APOLOGIZE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AND I OVER LOOKED IT) (BTW I’M GHANAIAN)(ANY IMMATURE PERSON WHO WANTS TO REPLY BY SAYING I’M NOT GO AHEAD…EACH TO HIS OWN)
@iris, Well said but you are not a Ghanaian so stop deceiving yourself
@Celebrity, Really i’m not Ghanaian…well like i said each to his own
As a white person, I apologize for the bigotry that other posters spew on this website. There were all kinds of people doing bad things in London. There was even a white daughter of a millionaire caught stealing so please stop with the stupids comments.
@Rex Bibendi, i noe ryte… nd i’ glad pple lyk u are speaking up against this definite act of racism…
let the foolish 21 calibre be.i read a post about some ghanaians who were caught in unlawful acts in london but nobody wants to talk about it.but when it’s about nigeria then it becomes a breaking news every body wants to talk about it.why not talk about your economy the rate at which your government borrow then maybe you will find a cure to your sickness.9ja by blood.
Shonola is not Nigerian she is actually a Jamaican!!!!! So be easy on the Nigerian comments…..
@Faythe Boateng, really? hmmmmm
am a Ghanaian but don’t like how our Naija brothers and sisters are being treated…
i think to be fair the rioters were from all backgrounds…sad to say but my own peeps were involved too.
READ BELOW
Authorities in Britain are holding at least three men with Ghanaian sounding names in connection with the ongoing troubles in the country.
They are Nana Asante, 19, James Antwi, David Attoh, both 18, and Ohene Bamfo, 20. James Antwi has been charged with assaulting a police officer, damaging a police car and violent disorder.
Matthew Golby, prosecuting, told Camberwell Green Magistrates Court that Antwi was part of a group of men on bicycles that surrounded a police car in Horseford Road, Brixton.
Mr Golby said: “He arrived at the police vehicle on his bicycle and used his pedal to smash against the car.
“The defendant went to the driver’s side and attempted to pull open the door of the vehicle.
“He was wearing a distinctive white top and police have been able to trace him as he headed up Brixton Hill.”
Antwi, of Stockwell, South London, who is in his third year of a Sports and Leisure qualification at Clapham College, did not enter a plea.
District Judge Tanweer Ikram denied an application for bail. He was remanded in custody to reappear on August 17.
20 year old Ohene Bamfo was hauled before a Croydon Magistrate Court Westnesday on charges of theft and rioting.
He appeared in court along with a long line of defendants in the dock, answering charges of robbery, theft and violent disorder relating to Monday night.
Bamfo pleaded not guilty to two counts of robbery, theft from a person and violent disorder.
IT student Attoh, of Hackney, who had just completed a BTEC at Hackney Community College and is due to start an apprenticeship, pleaded guilty to theft.
He was caught with Burberry T-shirts but magistrates let him off because he had already served two days in custody and warned him not to get into trouble again.
Nana Asante, 19, who recently started work as a steward at an outdoor opera venue in the upmarket London district of Holland Park, reportedly pleaded not guilty to looting a supermarket in the capital.
Authorities say more than a thousand people have been arrested in connection with the troubles on the streets of England.
It is suspected that more Ghanaians are involved in the riots; most of the arrested rioters are from the black community.

I love white woman only I am married to a white woman I call her my afcrican queen!
@27 calibre,@marion stop using my name to comments stupidly here ,i am a ghanain and i will not cooments foolishly this show how you forge people name to do fraud .
Shes not nigerian shes carribean!! – thats like saying every american or carribean whos name is kwame is ghanaian.
@BOY,I totally agree with you Chris peace of advice change the title because she is not a Nigerian I don’t know where you got that from in the first place unless your trying to start a riot here as well
How do you know she is not a Nigerian? Have you googled her to find out how many websites are referring to her as a Nigerian? The article is not about her nationality, it is therefore less relevant even if she is a Nigerian or NOT, my emphasis is on young Africans…Not young Nigerians…
If she was from Gambia or if the info I got before writing this said she was from Gambia, I would have written the same piece…I wrote about it becos mainstream media and other blogs I find interesting have highlighted on her story…
You guys have to start looking beyond people’s nationality and comment on social issues without placing much emphasis on where the person comes from in particular…
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,Not really I got the Sun news paper here and Tye voice news paper and it states that she is a Caribbean not a Nigerian
SUN? You trust those people? LOL..Anyway as I said, the nationality is the not the core stone upon which the write up rests so quite not important if you guyz will discuss and take note of the issue at hand and not push it along nationality lines…
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri,It’s not about trusting The Sun news paper but it states in The Voice newspaper as well, Let me ask you this how did you know or get to did out that she is a Nigerian
I don’t know why thousands of Nigerian blogs out there are stating she is a Nigerian (one of their own) and no one is disputing that…Becos the same story appeared on a Ghanaian blog, her nationality has come to be the main issue…
I got that from the few Nigerian blogs I trust and read…I will rather go with what they say than the SUN..After all, if a Nigerian says she is a Nigerian, it must be believed than someone sitting somewhere.
Just google, Nigerian Shonola Smith and you find out the countless Nigerian blogs carrying the story.

SMH @ topic.so Nigerians are the only rioters that were involved in theft and destruction?
continue with the bashing if it boosts your wellbeing
@sykes, no one has said that , ghanaians were also part so u guys dnt mind the silly ppl who are sayin bad things about nigeria. GH and NIJA are one, i just hate to see ppl tlkin trash about others as if they re perfect.
This is what I hate about Nigerians, if this girl had won millions, they will be here claiming she is a NIGERIAN, now she has done something bad, instead of condemning what she has done, you are rather here claiming she is not a NIGERIAN. When it is good, it is for Nigerians, when it bad, it is not. SIlly
@TiffanyBabe, you can hate them as much as you want but at the end if the day she is not a Nigerian and they got the right to defend themselve even Ghanaian where involve put you don’t see any article about them ir what they did
Well if that’s what they claiming than I guess I got nothing to say and rest my case than the voice claim she is a caribbean Nigerian blogs claim she is a Nigerian so yeah it’s a but strange but at least you could have add those four ghanaian boys who looted as well into your blog
@Miyagi,I think you are getting it wrong. This girl is making news not becos she is a NIGERIAN but becos she is said to have a talent and work (MODEL) but still joined in the looting…
She is in the various papers or on the various blogs becos of the above fact and also becos her sister is reported to have stolen CHEWING GUMS.
@Posted By: Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, I agree with you because she is a model and is making the headlines but what about the millionaires daughter who looted as well teacher and some people working for. Some top company’s and have been busted all these people are whites but made the headlines yet there weren’t exposed like the way this girl is being exposed people went for bigger things like ipad, iphones lcd screens desinger clothes blackberry phones and tablets etc I don’t buy the story that one of them just went their to join just to steel chewing gum my question is some news paper didn’t even mention she is nigerian some are even saying that she is from the caribbean so how did you guys come to conclusion that she is a nigerian
SHES NOT NIGERIAN SHE IS JAMAICAN!! GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT SHE MY COUSIN I SHOULD KNOW !
@Shans cousin, and where is your prove lmao
@miyagi ¬_¬
@Shans cousin,
she is my fren and she is jamaican
dat doesnt mean she is a thief they didnt caught her wit anything. anyway her cuz hw can i go see her.
@british, i spoke to her mum today and she is callin up on monday to find out how to visit and that so i aint sure yet
@nolies cousin, ok. i dnt want to put my number on so can u email me urs, my email address is above.
i have nothing to loose either way,but to be honest,i admire your fairness miyagi.chris ,you are not straight on this one no matter what it is you mean.comming to this site has made me to really try to find out more about nigerians.and one thing i really admire about them is that they do not hide their wrong .hate them as much as you like,but from what i see ,it does not give them sleepless night.though i can well admitt that they have their own ,good ,bad and ugly., just like other p-p what i understand about hate is that,is he who hates that suffers more than the one being hated.
i am a lover of this site. But i have come to realise that the author of this post or blog is a big fool. U knowingly wrote this article to rubbish nigerians, right???? Ghanaians r worst than thieves. Cos i have u guys in my neighbourhood. I know wot u r capable of doing. Shameless ghanaians.
@u guys r silly, @ you claim he stays in nigeria which cearly show that you people taught him what you think he is capable of doing.
thanks chris
thanks
ok. i dnt want to put my number on so can u email me urs, my email address is above.
I find it very Interesting that Nigerians actually feel bad when negative comments are made about what they do best. One might say they actually they have a conscience.
The news regarding shonola smith, sister and friend is not true for two reasons:
1. I personally know her because we work for the same organisation before she resigned 3 months ago.
2. She personally told me that she was JAMAICAN
So please retract the message that you have published.
Yours truly,
A. Badmus
Arguably, anyone might think she is a NIGERIAN cos she absolutely stunning and also fab! Anyway most GHANIANS arent as stunning as her SHAME on you HATERS!!!!!
We need an explanation to tagging the girl “Nigerian”. She might be but you guys do not really understand the consequence of what you are doing…. the fact that a black person is involved in something bad should be a shame to the black race..wake up Ghana! Did you see the latest…the UBS trader?? he is from Ghana and nobody is happy about it..What Shonola did was just one of youthful exuberances! could have been any exposed young person..common..withdraw the CAPTION!
