I highly doubt that to be true in the US. Do you have any data to back it up?

In areas where Yoruba pre-dominate, yes, you'll hear of more incidents involving them.

But in areas where Igbos pre-dominate, you'll hear of incidents. And given that the population of the latter is higher than that of the former in the US. . .

In Asia, 90% of the time when you hear of a Nigerian being executed or jailed it will be an Igbo (least, this is my impression based on any crime-related articles I hear about from there)

Most Igbos in the US are decent. Take that to the bank. In Asia you are right but like I said Yorubas are also there. Watch an example. I can get more.

Police on Sunday arrested two Nigerian nationals from the upscale Jubilee Hills area in Hyderabad on a charge of drug peddling, and recovered 8 grams of cocaine from them.

Police team raided a place near Durgam Cheruvu main gate and apprehended Sakiry Oladotum Akinsola and Okechnkwu Ohazurike, said Inspector K Narsing Rao.

"The duo was nabbed as they arrived there to deliver cocaine to a customer. Police recovered 8 grams of it from their possession," he said.

Sakiry, who lives in Hyderabad, supplied spare parts to Nigeria. "He himself took cocaine, which he bought from `Jackson', a Ugandan national, Rao said.

Okechnkwu knew some cocaine buyers in the city, and Sakiry gave him a share of profits for getting customers.

Most may be decent. But this is probably true of any group in the world, and doesn't detract from the main point.

NOLLYWOOD ACTOR WAS ARRESTED IN SOUTH DELHI WITH 10 GRAMS OF COCAINE;



One of the Nigerians, who were arrested by Special Cell of Delhi Police 10 days ago for running a cocaine racket in south Delhi, has turned out to be a famous Nigerian actor. According to the police, Akanbi Olamilekan Mohammed (30) revealed during interrogation that he has acted in several movies an d had come to India for a film-making course.

Three people, including two Nigerian nationals, were arrested on March 30 and 122 grams of the contraband were seized from their possession.

“We had first arrested a businessman who told police that Akanbi used to supply cocaine to him. Akanbi was later held with 10 grams of premium quality cocaine from Saket. He told us about his acting career and that he acted in four movies,” said a senior police officer who didn’t want to be named.

Oh! really? Damn you halfwits!
I ask you a simple question and you went ranting like a headless chicken, only to come up with loads and loads of Bunkum! Balderdash!! Bull craps!!! I told you about starts in all our local brothels and see whether you wont return Igbo girls as the highest. And my concern goes like this. . .why are guys claiming to be rich while all your women are being shared with goats, cows and pigs all over Nigeria and north in particular?

I ask you about money ritualist and you went dumb! Classic.

What about clinics where babies are bought and sold like chicken, all over the SE? Any word on that?

Kidnapping nko?

Armed robbery nko? Very recent we saw on CNN how some Igbo boys took arms and form mercenaries to fight for Gaddafi against the Libyan people? Cold hearted animals!



Surely, today is fools day. I indulge all Nairalander to be entertain by this fool in chief. Nights of thousands foolishness, indeed.!

Nchara:

From what I know it is safe to conclude that

majority of Nigerians in prison in the UK and USA are Yorubas (awon credit card and visa scam boys)
Majority in China and Asia are Igbos
Majority in the midle East are northern muslims.

No ethnic group in Nigeria can condemn another for crime. We are all involved equally.

Kolawole Michelle, Nigerian national arrested in India with 185 credit cards

A Nigerian national and a Mumbai-based Indian trader have been arrested in the Indian city of Mumbai for allegedly running an international racket of cloning credit cards and using it for shopping on the internet, the city’s Crime Branch officials said yesterday.

Kolawole Michelle from Nigeria and Surjeet Singh from Mumbai were arrested on Saturday with 185 blank credit cards, credit card printer and reader, laptop computer and other equipment used for cloning credit cards, they said.

During interrogation, the accused persons said they had got the cloned credit cards from a gang run by a Nigerian based in Mumbai, which were sent through a local angadia (a form of courier service), police said.

Following a tip-off that two persons, including a Nigerian, were hiding near Sarangpur area, police raided the place and arrested the duo. They have been booked under section 465, 467, 468 (forgery) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 66 and 65 of the Information Technology Act.

Last week, Mumbai’s city crime branch arrested four persons with 53 cloned credit cards of various banks.

Yorubas are well represented in Asia. I can go on and on with examples.

Rhinoceros
There are as many kidnappers in Yorubaland as there are in Igboland
What does gbomogbomo mean?
Do you want examples? I can supply, you know.

How many Igbos have been kidnapped in Yorubaland?

As for rituals, you are the masters. We only learned from you. Your Obas have to eat human flesh. Don't be dumb.

The main difference between Igbo and Yoruba kidnappers is that Igbo kidnappers (and some Yoruba kidnappers too) kidnap the rich to extort them
Many Yoruba kidnappers kidnap the poor and use them for money making rituals.

Have you forgotten what happened to the bodies of the 2005 Belview plane crash in Lisa, Ogun state? They were harvested and used for rituals. Do some googling or I can help you do it.

If you see 100 Igbo armed robbers, you will see 1000 Yoruba armed robbers. This is common knowledge. What do you think all those Yoruba touts do in the Night?

If you want to do this scientifically. . .

you could probably start from typing the term "drug nigerian asia" into Google News (and variants thereof.) This will give you access to news articles for the past many years.

You can then count how many incidents involving Yoruba names appear, and same for Igbo.

And of course do this exercise for the US, UK, Canada, etc.

I think that the end result of this would be:

Asia => Igbo criminals predominate
UK => Yoruba criminals
East Coast, US => Yoruba criminals
Southern US => Igbo
West Coast => Igbo

Actually, I suppose rather than counting manually you could write a script to do this for you.

If anyone has the time and interest, please write this script, run it, and report your findings.

Rhinoceros I asked a pertinent question here. Can you answer it?

foolish tribalists!

Lol. I may or may not be a supremacist, but nobody has taken me to the cleaner's in this thread.

If anything the opposite.

Then again, we cannot expect much sense from ACM10. . . was this not the same guy crying about Kats?
