I get your view, anyone can steal not just igbos.

Am Akwa ibomite but Didn't feel so good reading that. I'll prefer lets focus on the topic.

You don't know how many foreigners are reading this post, they may start believing igbos are thieves.
This is how Nigeria got her bad image. When we always wash our linens in public.

Something good just happened, lets celebrate and magnify that one.


#Nigeria Good people great Nation.
You are a very sensible human being.

i think insulting Igbos gives u a hard on..........MODS pls ban this guy angry angry
*modified* Kachi I didnt even see the name before I quoted sef,I know u for making reasonable comments so I least expected this from u plus u r also Igbo...don't join the tribal bigots on NL biko



Once again, if I had tried parking my car like that in Aba,admist my igbo brothers - they would have attempted breaking into that car.

Igbos are always quick to scream tribalism.
Who even told you guys people are out there to castigate y'all? ?

That's all undecided

Two days ago, in Port Harcourt, I took a taxi from Garrison to Abuloma, On getting to my destination at Okilo Road, I was theblast person to come down from the vehicle of 5passengers. Unknown to me, my wallet was Misplaced.

For emphasis, the content of the wallet are as follows:
New Drivers Liescence
3bank ATM cards
N10,000
My PVC
And copies of my passport.

I was saying to myself after it was discovered missing, that "this is Nigeria I can never find it. I even tried going to the park at which I boarded. But no success was recodered. I regret not deriving that day.

This evening, I got a call from the bank, that a lady brought my atm to the bank, and requested the bank (fidelity) should contact me, for misplaced items. I was marveled.
And so the bank gave me the numbers of the driver and his lovely wife.
Joy entered my spirit.

Note: this man and his wife live in a Bacha. I took a pic of this man to make u Nairalanders bless his generation. His name is Elisha Ukpong.
He was even so delighted I split the money in 2.
MODS I beg you front page so anigerians van learn to be good.
hmmmmmm! Its cos the money is just 10k , oya misplace millions and wait for bank to call u back or driver return it to u.

People of Calabar/Akwa Ibom are the last people that would steal from you,tho not all,but majority of em people are good...

If it were my igbo brothers,the money would have been gone & still would call you to come pay for those documents you have in it grin
Ewu! igbos work for their money, they don't drive around town looking for who will loose his wallet.

you're very right!
AKS people don't have time to steal.
I served in Uyo, there was this time they were working the roads in my Estate.

I had to park so far from home, then trek to my house. The first time, I was so scared, as I was approaching the car in the morning- I was expecting to see broken glass...lol

My neighbour told me, "AKS people don't steal -they are happy...Akwaibom ayaya"....hahahahaha

If say na my igbo brothers, them for done move all the cars wey align for that street.
I'm igbo, I'm not your brother, I'm suprised you were once a corper which means you are a graduate, I'm disappointed that with your level of education you will belive all your igbo brothers* are criminals. SMH for your level of ignorance

We must all stop pointing accusing fingers, knowing that the change in this country begins with each & everyone of us. We could start by discouraging exam malpractice by not patronizing ''solution centers''. The change Nigeria needs begins with ME/YOU.

lols.
I don't have time to bash any set. I also stayed with the yorubas for good 18yrs, so I can easily point out the "misconceptions" we have 'bout them.
I have never been a tribal bigot - never will.
'stated the hard truth...unfortunately it's bitter.
I am not generalizing in anyway though.

i would have replied you elaborately, just that this ain't a topic.
So, keep shaking your head.

This reminds me of one time I was going for my CDS meeting in Ibadan during Service when a cab driver returned a stranger's phone. I was shocked! He drove us down to deliver the Samsung phone. That single act confirmed to me that there are still good people in this world.

I will return it sharp sharp. I am content with myself. It is not in my character to use another man's misfortune as my own stepping stone to success.
