Chamackh: Just because of what Stella Oduah did wjth AIIA Enugu that these bitter soul are not happy with, NDi Igbo mepee nu anya, they don't want the Enugu airport to be viable, they want us to remain in servitude so the their region could keep prospering and developing. That is the main reason why they championing for Oduah's sack. I pity those so called Igbos that they deceive easily. Wether they like it or not Igbo land must prosper in Jesus Name Amen

kenis: yea, it is true. Isn't it a crime that nwanyi abacha did not check me yesterday despite having an MOU with her to always do so?


My Enugu! My Abacha!! Cheii

L.M Ayedun..:
And how on earth are you so sure Yoruba(s) collated this report/survey?

Edoboy1: Is there a single part in this country were there are no kidnappings, robbery and insecurity? Tell me and I will tell you that yes my state should take the fore front of crime in the country. People running their mouth, saying there are too many kidnappings in Edo, I have a question for you. How are you sure these kidnappers are from the state? Edo state is in a strategic position in the conutry for so many near by states to operate and escape with ease. Something happened in a Edo state some time ago, were a very rich ibo transporter was kidnapped and killed eventually, people from Easth accused the Edo people as been bad and they threatened to put a curse on who ever did it. The Oba of Benin gave them a go ahead, but just few weeks later, police arrested the mans wife who actually a manager in the trasport company as the master mind behind the kidnap. He confessed the man was killed because he saw his face. The Edos don't make noise doesn't mean we don't know what we are doing. After that incidence, the Ibos were ashamed. You people should start paying close attention to issues and stop been miopic.

passion007: This is quite an 'interesting' study.
I encourage everyone to take a look at the original results of the report, not the summary given by Premium Times (You'll find the PDF at the Source link), if for nothing else, to disprove the notion that if you wanna hide something from a black man, put it in a book.
The original, unadulterated results are revealing, and I must say kudos to the researchers.
Let me post the findings here:

To begin with, Crime is a spectrum, from phone theft, to physical assault, to kidnapping, to murder.

Fear of Crime(National Average: 72%, ENUGU: 83%)
OGUN (94%) ONDO (94%) GOMBE (93%) YOBE (91%) ANAMBRA (90%)

Actual Experience of Crime:
Robbery (National Average:18%, ENUGU: 19%)
Kaduna: 43%, Akwa Ibom 42%, Cross River 39%, Anambra 32%, Niger 31%

R.ape/Attempted R.ape ( National:5%, SE:1%)
SS-10%, NE-6%, SW 4%, NW-4%, Lagos-3%, NC-3%

Kidnapping/Attempted Kidnapping (National:3%, SE:4%)
SW-5%, Lagos-4%, SE-4%, SS-4%, NW-3%, NE-3%, NC-2%

Physical Assault (National: 33%)
Enugu (84%), Ebonyi (77%), Rivers (58%), Anambra (50%), Ogun (38%)

Domestic Violence (National: 30%)
SE:43%, SW:35%, NE:35%, SS:26%, NC:19%, NW: 19%

Attempted Murder (National:5%, SE:2%)
NE:8%, SS:7%, NW:7%, SW:6%, NC:3%, SE:2%

Theft of Mobile Phone (|National Average: 45%, ENUGU: 45%)
Taraba-64%, Kwara _59%, Abia-57%, Lagos-55%, Kaduna-54%

Car Theft (National: 4%, SE:2%)
NW-6%, SS-5%, Lagos_5%, NE-4%, SW-3%, SE-2%, NC-1%

Armed Violence other than Robbery (National: 4%, SE:1%)
NE:11%, SS-9%, NC-3%, NW-3%, Lagos-2%, SW-1%, SE-1%

My Conclusion:
I have taken the stress of posting these findings as they appear in the original study.
If I have learnt anything from this thread, it's that the campaign of calumny against SouthEasterners is far from imagined. I dont know the guys at Premium Times, and don"t want to speculate what their intents are, but they should certainly be taken seriously.
Igbos need to find out the guys at Premium Times ASAP, those guys are out to destroy you by peddling lies, and distorting research findings to align with their lies .
After all, based on the research findings:

SW is the Kidnap Capital of Nigeria

Besides, a few months ago, we had this report:

Kairoseki77: When you constantly spout lies, you blind yourself to the truth.

Look at the amount of people basesly claiming Enugu is the safest city in spite of hard facts to the contrary. Sad.

This report was done by the MacArhur foundation, which is a highly respected international organization on par with the Nobel committee. Every year, the MacArthur foundation gives "Genius grants" to scientists and international thought leaders. So claiming it is because of an airport is rubbish.

The report was also put together by CLEEN, a civil society organization focused on improving the police forced in Nigeria, it was established in 1998. Here is a list of their executives.

Kemi Okenyodo Executive Director
Chinedu Nwagu Program Manager, Abuja
Nengak Daniel Program Manager, Lagos
Blessing Abiri Senior Program Officer - Accountability and Justice / Altus Regional Representative
Valkamiya Ahmadu Senior Program Officer - Public Safety and Security
Anyanwu .C. Ifeanyi Program Officer - Public Safety and Security
Chigozirim Odinkalu - Okoro Program Officer - Public Safety and Security
Raphael Mbaegbu Program Officer - Research and Planning
Nkechi Onyeanisi Account/Admin Officer
Enayaba I. Napoleon Asst. Program Officer - Public Safety and Security
Ezekiel Ojo Assist Account/Admin Officer
Akinremi Gabriel Senior System Administrator/Webmaster
Clara .C. Amadi Program/Admin Officer
Blessing Nwokolo Senior Admin Assistant
Lanre Abolarin Program/Admin Assist Officer
Simon Sylvester Program/Admin Assist Officer
Ethel Obasi Senior Driver
Tunde Ogundare Admin Assistant
Tope Adeoye Admin Assistant


See the diversity there? Stop lying to yourselves. Enugu is clearly crime ridden. This has NOTHING to do with an airport. Please spread this information so that the truth can prevail.

yunglykmine: Where would you likely be a victim of crime in Nigeria? See the safest and most dangerous states in Nigeria.

Enugu State, in the south east, is the official crime capital of Nigeria, a crime perception survey released on Monday in Abuja has said.

At least 70 per cent of respondents to the survey in Enugu admitted they were victims of crime in the past year, the 2013 National Crime Victimization and Safety Survey conducted by CLEEN Foundation showed.

The national average was 25 per cent – one in every four Nigerian. The survey showed a progressive decrease in the number of victims of crime in Nigeria.

“There has been a six per cent decrease
in actual experience of crime from the 31 per cent recorded in 2012 to the current 25 percent,” the report said.

The report surveyed for crimes like robbery, kidnapping, physical assault, phone and car theft, rape and attempted rape, domestic violence, attempted murder and other crimes.

The Crime Victimization Survey used data collected across Nigeria between June and July 2013.

Closely following Enugu State is its neighbour, Ebonyi, where at least 65 per cent – at least three in every five residents – were victims of crime.

Ekiti state, in southwest Nigeria, shares the same crime records with Ebonyi State. More than three in every five respondents admitted they were victims of crime last year.

Ogun State, a neighbour to Lagos is the safest state in Nigeria with only about one in every 20 citizens admitting they were victims of crimes last year.

Katsina State in Northwest Nigeria is the next safest. Only about one in every 10 residents was a victim of crime last year.

Lagos State recorded 18 percent.

Borno and Yobe, despite being the hotbed for Boko Haram attacks recorded seemingly low crime rates, according to the report. Only about one in every four resident admitted being victims of crime last year. Boko Haram militants have murdered over 1,500 people in the states since launching a vicious attack against government establishments, security agencies, religious places and the residents.

At a geopolitical level, the South East recorded the highest number of crimes with 44 per cent of respondents complaining they were victims. The North West recorded the lowest score of 18 per cent crime rate.

On a gender scale, more men than women fell victims of crimes in Nigeria last year.

“Further (segregation) by gender indicates that more men (27%) had actual experience than women (23%),” the report said.

Irony of feeling

Although Ogun State recorded the lowest actual experience of crime, almost everyone in the state fear they would become victims of crime.

The findings of the 2013 survey indicated that 94 per cent of Ogun residents fear they are likely victims of crime. In actual sense, only one in 20 was a victim of crime.

On a national scale, more than 7 out of 10 Nigerians had the fear of becoming victims of crime last year.

The people who feel safest are those in
Benue and Taraba States. Only 38 per cent of residents in those state had fears of becoming victims of crime. One in four residents of Benue state were victims of crime last year, and not more than one in every six in Taraba.

“Analysing by gender, 73 percent of
females feared becoming victims of crime compared to 71 percent of males,” the report said.

“Overall, these findings are meant to assist the government, police and the entire criminal justice administration system to better understand emerging trends in crime and safety in Nigeria and consequently, to refine and deploy improved strategies to resolve the country’s current challenges of security and safety,” the authors, CLEEN Foundation, said.

The survey was conducted with support from the Macarthur Foundation.

domcarez: Idi.ota...when you have a yoruba man as oga at the top as executive director,what do u expect? Its you and your likes that refuse to accept the truth...aturu like you always accept and digest the rubbish the press gives out and am sure you have never set foot in enugu....as far as am concerned lagos should top the list coz of the high rate of yoruba street touts (agbero) parading on the streets of lagos....rubbish!

Chamackh: bro na God is Good, but the wife na Edo. Though am not saying crime is prevalent in Edo. There is no crime free state in Nigeria.

yim: i don't understand pple, what has airport got 2 do with this? you are justifying Stella Oduah's loot. Let us get out of bigotry and face facts. People have diff perspectives, these guys gave a report based on a survey THEY conducted. If u ve issues with this, then ignore it. Some pple have issues, serious ones.

ngooka: Nonsense report, not my own enugu where I leave and relaxed

Tuntheycr7: D mods arnt doin dia work.
I wonder why this post hasnt been moved to joke section.

Doff_Man:

[s]All one has to do is read your historic posts to see why some people have problems with Yorubas like you.

You are one of the most biaised and bigoted people on nairaland. I really have to hand it to you, because it takes a lot of "something" to be consistently negative about Igbos; day after day, week after week, year after year. Whenever there's any news relating to Igbos, you ate sure to be there. No letting up, no slipping. It makes we wonder what the end game is? What do you guys (both Igbo and Yoruba) hope to achieve? Score brownie points? An ego thing? Remember there are millions of impressionable youths in Nigeria who now have access to internet and are following these threads. They probably have never had any problems with the other tribe in real life but are now being forced to take sides and believe the other tribe hates them. Its beginig to affect their music (afrobeat) because they believe they all have to take sides (see recent negative comments about psquare, wizkid etc). The once dominant Naija afrobeat is bring polarised along ethnic lines (to the advantage of Ghana) so much that fellow Africans now know that davido is yoruba and flavour is Igbo, when they were previously just Nigerians. Can the same be said of the Ghanaian musicians? Do you know what tribes they belong to? After the music industry, then what next as these millions of youths grow older?

Do you guys actually realise what the results of your crude oil inflated egos are leading to? Is Nigeria ertanally cursed?
