This is the full story: A special World Cup court has sentenced a Nigerian man to three years in prison for being in possession of 30 stolen tickets in South Africa. Kunle Benjamin was stopped in his car in the capital, Pretoria, when police noticed him driving "erratically". "As the suspect was acting suspiciously police decided to search him and the 30 tickets were discovered," said police spokeswoman Sally de Beer. More than 50 courts have been set up to deal with World Cup related crimes. Mr Benjamin was unable to tell the court how he came to be in possession of the tickets, police say. Fifa say they discovered the tickets had been bought by two men on the internet, but their addresses could not be verified. "This is yet again an example of the effectiveness of having dedicated teams, to deal with World Cup-related offences," said Ms de Beer. Fifa has urged fans only to buy tickets from authorised outlets. Bookmark with |

What he did is not a big news to me, my only concern is to know how long his gonna spend inside jail and since the jail terms for him is 3yrs let's just forget about him until 3yrs time and think of something else b'cos, so long as this present existing creature is concerned, the whole crimes that u and i know about and even some crimes that we can't even imagin has all been commited by our fellow nigerians all over the world so this news is not a big news to me, all i care is his jail terms and now that i know it's 3yrs let's have it in mind that our fellow nigerian will be released in 3yrs time in south africa. thaz ma opinion, thanks! |

Some folks are desperate to undermine the Nigeria peoples' confidence but we shouldn't let them. For instance is the action of the Nigerian man in question any worst than that or Roby Earl of England who is or was a British footballing-household name? If Mister Earls action doesn't shame Britain why should the Nigerian ticket thief shame Nigeria? No one is excusing theft but all this they shame Nigeria thing has to stop! Some Nigerians who practice this, "Nigerians did that and Nigerians did this, oh what a shame for Nigeria" most understand that the attitude has historic resonance in the attitude of the servile black who's main goal in life is to be the "good little nigger" so his white master can give him a pat on the head for being a good boy. |

Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by agabaI23(m): 1:00pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
skyndyp:That has nothing to do with the subject which is ' Beautiful girls are not good at making trouble'. All the trouble makers in nairaland who are girls are below average. Now that's history! |
Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by justwise(m): 1:02pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
Litmus:. What has this got to do with white man? When will you get up and smell the coffee? Crime is crime, it doesn't matter who committed it. Roby Earl was given that ticket by ITV, he did not steal it or sale it for profite. Get ur facts right b4 jumping to defend criminals. |
Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by Litmus: 1:23pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
Maybe, but imagine if he was Nigerian and a top Nigerian at that. I like Mister Earle but the affair, honest or not, is a Roby Earl affair not a British one, that is the main point : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1287025/World-Cup-2010-ITV-axes-Robbie-Earle-2-orange-mini-dress-women-arrested.html?ito=feeds-newsxml |

Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by btlasisi(m): 3:22pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
I am not surprised at all. This our attitude of insatiable quest for money at all cost will always cost us hatred anywhere. Go to any part of Europe you will be ashamed of being Nigerian because of attitude of some Nigerians living in such country. |
Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by justwise(m): 3:28pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
btlasisi: And some of them are not ready to work hard for that money. They want to steal/defraud/scam others and run back home to show off. |
Re: Nigerian Jailed Over Stolen World Cup Tickets by btlasisi(m): 3:30pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
I was in Greece about a year ago, some of my Yoruba brothers were into real time travelling scams while drug businesses were dominated by my Igbo brothers. This is not a tribal issue corruption has pervaded every facet of our life.[/i] |
