sheyie2007: don't let the tribal e-war on NL fool you, we're just having fun here.. one love!

I've been around long enough to know that.Just saying

Rossikk:

Oh.. and if this wild comment is true, you alleviate that by travelling to SA to sell drugs to other peoples' children? Do you know what drugs do to kids?





You really are an imbeci.le. I bet you are a drug dealer and fraudster yourself.




Only 1% are successful in your ANUS, not in reality.



If you are suffering from ''acute poverty'' return to your village and FARM. The Nigerian soil is fertile. Don't go committing crimes in far off lands because you want to live in a 5 star mansion in under 6 months and drive Hummer, and then when you get caught you blame Nigerian govt.



Whatever... The figures are still BOGUS, because the informal Nigerian economy which is teeming with billions of dollars worth of assets is completely unaccounted for in those calculations. So a farmer who eats smoked fish, yam, akara, and egusi soup in one day, is regarded as living on 'less than $2 a day' because he hasn't got a bank account or tax receipts etc. Same as a market woman who can spend up to 2,000 dollars on a single wedding outfit. She is also classified as living on ''less than a dollar a day'' because she works in the informal economy and hides her savings under her bed. Same as other traders, importers, roadside mechanics, hairdressers, barbers etc. Even roadside BEGGARS earn a LOT more than $2 a day in Nigeria. So those figures you are bandying are BOGUS and ABSURD.

The 2dols per day ish on that page is a 2007 statistics

@goodsyndney or whts your name, am old enough to be ur father I have only asked you and your tribesmen to be of good conduct wherever you. Oloriruburuku omo nna.

Hmmm . . . Wetin man go do na? Every were 4 naija na so so wahala!
sincerely speaking, i think we need a serious REVOLUTION, 10 times more serious than that of egypt,libya,tunisia and barhain! And a handful of prayer, with all the bad leaders out of the show, then we can say we have hope! Both PDP,ANC,ACP,ANPP etc etc are all from the same bunch! And truely speaking,this is not the Nigeria our founding fathers fought for!

Nigerians go to cities and adapt to businesses they see there.... So this myth of Nigerians bringing crime to ZA is a bloody lie.... That's why Nigerians don't go to Houston and start hawking and selling drugs, they open businesses that are already present.....

So South Africans should stop complaining, it's obvious Naija guys went there and started out selling their ZA pimps and now they are complaining....

If the main trade in a country is crime, expect the Nigerian to open a business in crime.

Hon. Kontigi:
Let's not forget that there are also many nigerian professionals doing well in south africa. South africa is a very violent society. Jo'boug is particularly notorious for crime. I know that even the police in SA cannot be trusted. A friend, visiting the country for the first time for a conference, was robbed in the toilet by a policeman right there at oliver Tambo airport. True, there are lots of nigerians (most of them from SE) in Jo'bourg who are plain criminals but we should also not forget that these nigerians are just a fraction of the the criminals there - south african citizens constitute the bulk of the criminals.I am not condoning crime by nigerians, pls. My advice is that if u dont have any serious biz to do in South africa dont venture there because criminal syndicates(including police)target nigerians arriving in the country (sometime ago a man arriving from nigeria was followed from the airport and robbed at the reception of his hotel in Jo'bourg). Personally, I prefer naija a million times to SA.

We are sometimes too quick to defend ourselves as Nigerians. Bet you, some Nigerians are really really painting us bad in SA and other countries. Even here at home, there is no limit to the evil imaginations of SOME Nigerians to defraud.

SA is hostile to Nigerians today because it seems that SOME Nigerians have raised crime (particularly financial crimes) to another level in that country. We need to pray to God to change us.

nwabobo:

Is it? How come the Igbos always head international organisations which is based on merit and not ojoro?

Do these names ring a bell to you?

Emeka Anyaoku - Former commonwealth secretary-general

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - Former world bank MD

Oby Ezekwesili - Former World bank VP

Chinyelu Onwurah - Labour party MP (UK parliament)

Chuka Umunna (nicknamed; the British Obama)- Labour party MP and shadow business secretary (UK parliament)

John Godson Chikama Onyekwere - First black MP in Poland

Is it not an irony that the same people "hated" the world over for crimes are considered fit for these lofty positions while your people never come so near to leadership positions outside d shores of Nigeria where things are based on merit alone?

Those people you name up there may have sacrifice their loved ones to get that possition. Igbos are notorious for human sarcrifice for big possitions. Besides, those Igos that are doing well around the world were schooled by Yoruba teachers. If it wasn't for those Yoruba teachers they too would've been in crimial activites. just like the rest of their brothers and sisters... hehehehe

Even for 2007 the figures are bogus.

sweetcheecks:

You are the one with two year old mentality here. I said to you google crime rate in SA before you people were allowed to come into SA. And yes I blame you people for the high levels of crime in SA becouse before you were allowed to come in here with drugs and all your evil scams to make money crime was not at this level. Fact is we might have high levels of reported hiv/ aids levels but it started somewhere else in Africa not in SA since we allowed your likes in, SA has had to bear with such ills. And anyway why do you have to use hiv for any discussions about SA when Nigerian stats is unknown. Him who lough last laough best! Word.

The thing is given the small population of SA compared to Nigeria, one would expect the figures for HIV/AIDs, and violent crimes to be smaller than that of Nigeria which according to ur theory 'exports' crime, but it is not. That should tell u something. Stop being in denial and blaming ur issues on the next man. Do u have half as many Nigerians in SA than there are in US, UK, Germany and even Dubai? Why are they not blaming Nigeria for their crime rates? Why do they have lower crime rates than SA has ever recorded, pre and post apartheid?

This actually makes a lot of sense.

My tibe is the pride of Nigeria. We are the reason Nigeria/Nigerians can still show face to the rest of the world 'cause if it left with your people the country Nigeria would've been history by now. We give hope to this country your people so desperately want to run down. The word Yoruba make people to smile and say great things about Nigeria unlike Assgbos, i mean your criminally breded animals called Igbos.

For umpteenth time, do not act like a fool because someone said you are a fool. Anyway, who knows you could be a redundant fool for all I care. There is no ethnicity in Nigeria known as “pride of Nigeria”. It does not take third grader to decipher you are an inconsequential dirty Oshogbo swine. Even most of the lily-hearted Yoruba peeps are not ashamed of their defecating forbearers when frightened by a drunken soldier from northern region.

Honestly, you do not deserve a response if you can not stand up for your forbearers. I shall not response to your idiotic post unless you proudly say your moronic ethnicity.

Dede1:


I thought RSA is a country with solid socio-political foundation. Are you allowed to navigate the Internet without adult supervision? If the only reason you and most RSA slatterns date Nigerian men is money, one wonders where the hell Nigerian men got the money. Since you have publicly admitted RSA girls date Nigerians because of money, may I ask you if Nigerian men grow the money as farmers grow crops? If you eat with a devil jackass, you are undeniably a devil.

BADT GUY!

chief batiatus: The most unfortunate thing about all this is that Igbo boys are in south africa, europe, america busy spoiling our collective name and yet because we are from the same country I get to be given the same name as them. Am from the middle belt and none of my tribe has ever involved in criminality abroad but yet because of Ibos who can't stay in their homes I get called a criminal even before I have the chance to defend myself.
As Ibo it is permitted to go abroad with just a school cert to hussle. Even when at that level you hardly have enough experience or knowledge of how the world works. Yorubas also have their own but you cannot compare them to Ibos in destructive capability. Ibos won't u ask yourselves questions? U and achebe keep saying people hate u in nija, funny enough u also hated in europe, in malaysia (last week 2 ibos kidnapped a japanese there), in singapore, US, everywhere. So people jus hate u people because they aren't as fine as you abi? Payment time is coming oh!

@THIEF BAT ANUS
HOMO MUMUNIS! THE 22 THAT WERE ARRESTED FOR CC FRAUD IN US WERE ALSO IGBOS?

no be our leader cos am

Regardless of your assertions on nigerians anti-social behaviors,tht still does not give anybody the right to assert negative profiling to any group of people.Wht the hotel did is wrong and this issue must be addressed with apologies to nigerians by the SA govt.

Why are you spewing so much hate? I thot we were all one? Na wah. Well its nice to know what your ppl think about us. Time to cross Cape Town off my holiday list b4 someone there attacks me for raising crime rate in SA.

Haba this is terrible o. so you dont want to be discriminated against as a Nigerian yet you discriminate against all Igbos? Im Igbo and I have never conned, defrauded of done drugs. Why am I lumped in with other Igbos and u with other Nigerians?

lol....i kinda understand their actions looking @ it from their POV.
hopefully it will show the nigerians who are living "alternate" lifestyles down there that they are making it hard for their people...

with that being said, it's not right to ban all nigerians as i am positive there
are honest nigerians in SA.

and let's face it the SA crime rate wasn't exactly low prior to the influx of Nigerians.

Please bring with you all the criminal Igbos. Let them come back to Naija and go to their villages and continue their criminal activites.

Rossikk:

Even for 2007 the figures are bogus.

Very bogus, if it were a scam, it's one of the biggest scam...

The problem wrong with Nigeria is we don't have adequate reporting system, if the average okada man, bus driver, market woman, gala seller, mama pof pof (lol) all had their sales receipts and declare quarterly earnings, you'll see that an average Nigerian lives above 5x that amount.

I guess you know about the specialists called Aworo or Iworo in Yoruba land. In addition, you may know the term such as “Olori Awon Iworo”. It is not surprise you introduced the essence of human sacrifice to this discussion.

A FIX IS ON THE WAY VERY SOON.... INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF NIGER DELTA. ALL HAIL.

I would prefer this passport

coogar:

you are a massive disgrace to the community that birthed you
we are asking you to see the cause and yet you concentrate on the effects. why would people live the comfort of their homes(if nigeria is good) and go to another man's country to commit heinous crimes?



your thought process is slower the revolution of the earth....
who are these millions of people making profits? what is the percentage of these people based on the entire population of nigeria? the united nations put the average daily spend of a nigerian as $2 per day and you are quoting nonsense......you are such a halfwit and one more attempt to paint nigeria as paradise and i will stab you!



why should everyone become their own local government in nigeria? individuals provide their own power(generator/inverters), portable water(borehole), security(vigilante groups), etc......this is a country that produces millions of barrels of oil on a daily basis and yet the citizens suffer like there's no natural resources - i am starting to think you are being paid by some crooked criminals to act like a plonker.......

Coogar,thanks for providing this burgundi man with some education. His brain is filled with 3D graphics.

Rossikk:

Why would people spend thousands of $ to go and commit get rich quick crimes in SA when they could use the same money to start a business in Nigeria? I'll tell you why. GREED.

Mr A hears that his friend who used to trade in Onitsha market with him, making steady profits, has moved to SA and is now 'rolling in money', has built a mansion, owns 5 cars etc. He then decides to do same so he too can 'hammer' in under 3 months like his friend.




How will you know? DUNCE. Are our roads not filled with millions of vehicles, many brand new? Are the cities not filled with millions of houses, including mansions? Are all those millions of people politicians? Are they not ordinary Nigerians? Did the money for all that drop from heaven? ILLITERATE.



The United Nations did no such thing, you illiterate. It was the World Bank, and every sensible person knows that those figures are completely absurd. YOU wouldn't know, because you're stup.id, with foam where your brain ought to be.



High school dropout and apologist for drug dealers and scammers. Why not take a rope and hang yourself and spare us your misery?

Bros, I'm truly feeling you today. Please school the young man/woman/whatever. Well done.

Yes! Very good citizen of Nigeria who is not blinded by false pride like those Igbo people. Say it lke it is. You have spoken the truth! We do need to pray for Naija and the people of Naija most especially the Igbos.
