See mumu. The highest fraudsters in Nigeria are Ibos and they are also leaders in rituals. Instead of seeing the accused as Nigerian, u think the ideal thing is to identify his tribe. Thts why your region has failed to deVelop till date.

thats so obvious, yorubas rank highest in UK fraud

It's like the difference between Hindi movies and Indian movies.   .   .  No one cares about it except the Indians themselves. .  . outside India, they's are both Indian movies.

. . . the point here is the joke's on all of you,  outside Nigeria. . . They will tell you Nigerians are fraudsters. Maybe then, you can sit with the person and start telling him or her you're not yoruba, you are igbo and hausa.  .  .

a very idiotic statement

Up UK Yoruba 419 peeps!
I am sure na Nairaland member too!

No wonder some monikers have been missing in action today.

Always looking for "Becomerich'-Quickly schemes!

Pathetic creatures!

This is about Nigeria not Yoruba or Ibo or whatever tribe

^^^^^thank you jare

Abeg o!
When crime reach una go dey shout "One Nigeria"!
Arrrrrrrrrrrantus Nonsensicus!

Please, identify the criminal tribes in Nigeria so we can 'guard' our wallets judiciously.

ODU! Na Yoruba livestyle for London. Period! Make una stop to dey 'teif' abeg!

Even if your JISOS was buried with 2 armed-robbers. . .it is not a spiritual calling!

HABA!!!

I can bet £12 million this guy is going to contest for governorship or senate elections in 2015.

On the platform of the Peoples democratic party.
The likes of bode tewonde george,dr. ade shamsideen, alamieyeseigha, Dariye, James ibori, igbinedion, orji kalu, etc are examples.

This is not a tribal issue.

ok ok, so na Yoruba guy?, meaning?, Yoruba are generally crooks?,

What abt tobechi?, https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-592319.0.html so he's igbo, with up to $100M in estimated fraud activities and confirmed $44M?,

so, does that mean all ibo boys are croooks?, though we know it's in their blood anyway, but not all of them are,

Wetin be this one about tribe again

Every Nigerian tribe has their fair share of guilt in this matter.

Go and watch "Catch a con man" on MSNBC, they (all the fraudsters) are all Nigerians from different tribes and languages  Ibo,  Yoruba, Calabar, Hausa, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Ishekiri, etc etc etc.

Internationally, they are all known as "Nigerians" and not Nigerian-Ibo or Nigeria-Yoruba.

The image of every Nigerian is affected by such unfortunate circumstances and you cant hide by saying "afterall na yoruba man"

No one says ALL are. But you have to go by the frequency with which such crimes are committed.
It is pretty clear where criminals are born in Nigeria.
It is called 'profiling'.
Very useful tool in fishing out criminals around Nigeria.

ODU na Yoruba get the First Class Upper.
Next, Igbos get the First Class Lower.
Other tribes get either Second Class or Pass in 'criminology'.

We will not even discuss 'swallowing and shyyyting' mounds of cocaine from continent to continent.

You can never go wrong with those 2 greedy tribes in Nigeria.

Please, start looking for solutions instead of whining!

Imeobong, whats the whole point of your thread, OLE!!!

If he was Igbo most of  these pretentious agents of peace and unity, wouldn't be here preaching. They would have turned a blind eye to the incessant bashing of the Igbo race as they have always done.

Igbos are beginning to corrupt yorubas. u see what happens when u let ibo criminals live among u.

Imeobong, whats the whole point of your thread, OLE!!!
