The veteran actor was held by the kidnappers for about 24 hours; from yesterday, Sunday August 16 when he was kidnapped till Monday, 17 August 2009.

He was kidnapped while he was being driven from his country home in Enugu in the company of his family members. Armed men stopped the car he was travelling in and Pete Edochie was the only one kidnapped

thank God!
thats all i can say.

i heard he paid 10 million naira ransom.

How many proverbs did he have to give them? I know he is fond of using proverbs relating to iroko tree and the elephant when talking of personal status and wealth in society.

I was in full support of 419, this kidnapping thing is not right at all.

Yipeeeeeeee!!!! Thank God!

Both of you support 419(Fraud)

Both of you support 419(Fraud)

well im not exactly saying i support it, but its less violent than kidnapping.
also its harmless to get some money from someone abroad.
but these people now are asking for ransoms with guns being pointed at someone's head.

i dont support 419 but its A LOT better than kidnapping.
and only dumb people fall for 419 anyway, so who cares who gets scammed. lol
no one should be that stupid.

@ showbobo

lol i love your name, it reminds me of that hilarious movie with osita iheme and chinedu, those two little boys. lol

I never knew kidnapping is this lucrative. How many years would you take as an employee of labor to make 10M ? Just in a 2 day deal, some sharp guys smiled to the bank and became Millionaires overnight. God dey o.

if you work in a bank nowadays it can be worse.
they might start kidnapping accountants or people that work in banks.
all so they can become millionaires.
we cant afford this, especially at a time when Nigeria's banks are starting to fail.

do you know how many lives that have been destroyed by 419 act perpetrated by Nigerians?
It's somewhat shocking to even classify crimes.

dont fall for an online scheme!!
gosh, who would fall for it anyway?

Thank God!
What amaka is tryin' to say is that you can avoid being a victim of 419 by not being greedy,kpam.kidnappin' on the other hand is violent and your opinion doesn't count for Poo.

Igweeeeeeeeeee!!!! The great iroko tree always stood outstanding in the mist of a thick forest,
Who dares touch the tail of a lion? A child that swears the mother will not sleep must be Prepared to keep awake all night, Only an over fed bird challanges his god in the battle of supremacy,

YOU ARE WEL COME BACK HOME THE GREAT ORACLE!!!!

If immediate and appropriate measures are not taken to cushion things like this, very soon, cheap kidnappers would set in and kidnap anyone on the street for N10,000.

What a shame on a set of people called nigerians, they believe 419 is a better crime to commit than kidnapping for ransom.

I always knew The Amaka is a waste!

is your life's mission to make me look bad?
what would you rather have, someone lose a couple thousand dollars and walk away with their life?
or someone held at gunpoint demanding money? and ther person possibly getting harmed in the process?
nuzo go stick it up your arse! please!

None, cos they are both evil.

but of course you know that one is a safer crime than the other.
no one is putting a gun up to your head while your at a computer and DEMANDING your money or else they'll shoot.
no that doesnt happen in 419, people are WILLING to give their money because they are greedy idiots.


anyway im tired of talking to a wall.
BYE BYE!

Theamaka,you've made your point.no need for you to defend it.
Can we please go back to the matter at hand?

nuzo:

None, cos they are both evil.

I'd hate to derail this thread but I just have one little thing to say then I'm off. 419 victims in US and Europe are just greedy asswhipes that need to have their freaking heads checked.

nuzo must not know much about the States because there are way more scams here than 419. Some are even legal, but not so many folks fall for it. This 419 victims think we African are still in the stone age so it would be easy to take from us like they've been doing for hundred of years.

niggu shut up 419 is better then kidnapping and is way better then your corny ass in china being a second class citizen to some fuckin chinese people lol

Please stop boring me with the same story on the high level of scams and greed in USA, I have never disagreed on that.
But to go ahead and give it a try because the Americans are doing the same is a very silly and weak excuse very corrupt minds give.

No wonder parents are buying laptops for their kids to get into the 419 biz.

Shame!

First class American.

None of them is good, we should condemn all of them.

@sjeezy8

love you boo!

hahahaha!

dont mind nuzo.

nuzo:

Dude, are you serious? Parents? Wow! But there are so many legit ways of making money online, so why scam?
Well I heard of some mums who encourage their daughters to go into prostitution or go to Europe for that, so I Guess anythings possible.
@Topic:
Thank God Pete Edochie has been freed. But this kidnapping ish has gotten way way out of hand. Haba, if you are honestly wealthy, na crime?

Wow!! I didn't even notice that nuzo is in China, no wonder it's starting to make sense to me now. It must be really frustrating working in a hot a$$ sweat factory for $12.00 a week.

Back to topic I'm glad Pete Edochie is free. I bet Nollywood will be making a movie about the whole experience.

419 da best men,you may argue for eternity.who cares?
