As far as I can remember, this is the third time a crime gang is busted in the US and they all happen to be from one Nigerian tribe. It really becomes curious when these gangs of criminals do so in a seemingly tribalistic manner. Why exclude others in your crime when you know you will end up being labeled a Nigeria and not a Yoruba? Have we exported our tribalism overseas?

more like when you know you'll be labelled a Yoruba.

I'm not saying Yorubas dont commit crimes however.

Sounds too simplistic. You do not even need to say that. We know ourselves, don't we?

We = the different Nigerian groups, despite how one group sees the other and what each group tends to hide or deny

A NIGERIAN who lives in Houston, United States of America, was indicted on Friday on charges that he sought $42 million (about N7.5 billion) in false Medicare and Medicaid claims by paying friends $100 each to sign blank health care forms he would later submit for reimbursement.

Umawa Oke Imo,
54, a permanent resident immigrant in the US, was indicted this week but first charged and detained in June.

What is this old story doing here if not for one thing: He is igbo. Coincedentally, You assumed so because his surname is IMO. If that is the case, then James [b]IBO[/b]ri could be igbo. Ijebu-igbo could be an igbo land. If a Yoruba man who lives less than 450km's from igboland could not differentiate between igbo/efik/ibibio/ijaw etc names, you can then imagine if the international world gives a hoot if the gangs being busted are Yorubas or any other group in Nigeria because they don't know who is who. What am saying is that Nigerians living abroad should start snitching on any suspected Nigerian fraudstar no matter the tribe because if they catch him, your reputation loses a point further. I wish Sony should sit face to face with Akunyili and present this latest news and let me see how she will hide her face in shame.

naw you a lady like i said

any "hardworking and honest" should not feel embarrassed,
Does  mayor Rudy Giuliani of New york feel embarrased about the Mafia? NO
Do the jews feel embarrassed about Madoff? NO
Do the Chinese individually feel ashamed about China? NO
Those who are hardworking and honest will continue to do right.

Nikku now go to sleep
You dont see americans crying over the crimes americans commit overseas, cause they dont care

You are very foolish indeed. Its one thing to catch a Nigerian here and there like other nationals but its another to bust a syndicate like a mafia. Did Madoff originate from a Jewish gang or is he a singular criminal?. Jewish people ought to be worried if the government start busting Jewish gangs doing the same ponzi scheme over and over again. Until you get insulted one day in Las Vegas for your nationality, you won't understand. Presently, you cannot buy through Amazon and other related sites using your credit card as long as you live in Nigeria. What could be worse than that?. Are the honest Nigerians not being affected by it?. Arabians are doing everything possible to clear the terrorist stereotype trailing them; Italians fought the mafia stereotype and used one of theirs[Guilliani] to reduce it to zero. Why can't Nigerians do the same?

some of these names sound fake.


even the Ajibola sef which is a valid Yoruba name but in this instance, its use is very fishy.

And why are their ages unknown?

something's strange here.


people involved in credit card scams and their names are Fowosere and Olowosago.






hmmm.



Meaning what? Meaning these 11 criminals are foreigners who used Nigerian names to rob people?

obviously you are too stupid to understand what i mean- NIGERIANS ABROAD ODE
Amazon and ebay situation was caused by NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA NOT YANKEE

the point was Nigerians have this burden of fraud and corruption , a fool ABROAD like you will always play into it by selling out his fellow Nigerian/Nigerians, which is why they have divided and conquered us.  Developed countries have this double standard that Nigeria doesn't, my point is that Nigeria should adopt the same policies.Amongst country men it  should be an unspoken rule. what the hell are you saying MOST ITALIANS GLORFIY THE MAFIA AND LOVE THEIR UNITY!!!!

LOL n you think telling police on other Nigerians ABROAD will better your life?
Get real why care if Nigerians ABROAD do fraud? Everyone else does it TEN/1000 times more then Nigerians (naijas own is petty)
The world just wants to put Nigerian/nigerians in the center because its a black country that has MAJOR potential.
we all know Asians/europeans/western world sell Fire arms/Drugs/demand prositutes all over the world in ESP developing AFRICAN nations. so if they do their own, Nigerians should do their own.

Tribe aside,yorubas are banks specialist,they crack them like piece of cake and they are very territorial with the game,non yorubas are less likely to be initiated,unless of course one is fluent in yoruba language.

Igbos could be good in 19 but as good as yorubas in bank jobs

However,it is a dog eat dog world.Who is good?

I noticed the coincidence of the names which match the occupation but if your guilty conscience is worrying you, then be my guest.

Yo! I'm not a lady. Look beside my username.

There's nothing new about doing fraud but Nigerians' notoriety in it is alarming and troubling. And why shouldn't Nigerians feel embarrassed about corruption/419/fraud? Are you one of them? No sane, hardworking and honest Nigeria will not feel embarrassed. In my opinion, I'd have preferred Nigerians were terrorists than fraudsters.

@ Nchara

here's my second post:


tpia.:

well, like they said, Nigeria is controlled and managed by crime lords, with a minority of Nigerians trying to make a living in an honest way.

having said that, I still suspect some of the identities of these criminals.




after which you posted this:

Nchara:

Tpia,

Go back and read both posts of yours carefully (as I quoted them), pretending as though you did not write them, and then decipher what may have been implied in them.

once again, let me repost:



some of these names sound fake.


even the Ajibola sef which is a valid Yoruba name but in this instance, its use is very fishy.

And why are their ages unknown?

something's strange here.

hmmm.


By "some of these names sound fake", did I in any way imply the perpetrators arent Yoruba? Especially after I specifically mentioned Ajibola.

If I want to imply they're from other tribes and using Yoruba names to commit crimes, I dont have a problem doing so, as any scan of my past posts will tell you, should you find the time to check my history on this board.

Bottom line: I dont know who these people are but their names sound fake, which is all I was pointing out initially until you jumped in with your own emphasis.

I also quoted this and said hmm to the bolded:

According to a U.S. Secret Service affidavit, one of the defendants bragged about how he could not "get caught conducting his illegal activity" because he was "very good at covering his tracks."

because I assumed the person meant his tracks were covered by using a fake name.

However, since it seems you clearly opened the thread to point out the Yorubaness of the names mentioned, please feel free to attribute any motives to me which you find yourself guilty of.


If that helps you understand and cope with the world better.
