Seven young men were, on Thursday,arraigned before the magistrate, Mr Olufemi Isaac, of a Lagos magistrate’s court sitting in Ikeja, on a three-count charge bordering on stealing, conspiracy and the kidnap of a man identified as Charles Ehirim.

The men were Shittu Idris (23); Sodipo Abiodun (23); Oyewole Olabode (23); Adegboyinga Adetola (23); Ajayi Isaac (22); Bakare Lateef (25) and Obera Solomon (41).

According to the police prosecutor, Barth Nwao-keye, the accused had, on February 24, 2012, at Ifako area of Lagos, robbed Ehirim of his Nokia phone valued at N4,500 and a pair of shoe valued at N10,000, all totalling N14,500

Nwaokeye alleged that after the robbery, the accused also kidnapped the victim and demanded a ransom of N2.5 million for his release.

One of the charges read: “That you Shittu Idris (m); Sodipo Abiodun (m); Oyewole Olabode (m); Adegboyinga Adetola (m); Ajayi Isaac (m); Bakare Lateef (m) and others now at large, on the same date, time and place in the aforesaid magisterial district, did arm yourselves with gun and kidnap one Charles Ehirim (m) and demanded the sum of N2,500,000 and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 269 (1) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011.”

The seven pleaded not guilty to all the charges and were granted bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Mr Isaac also ordered them to deposit N25,000 with the Chief Registrar of the Lagos High Court, while the case was adjourned till tomorrow.

After all these googling, my conclusion; Drumming ain't bad afterall.

^thats weak bro compare to those one that your cannibal brother did. Blood sucker from east

Yoruba is really a shameless tribe.

Aigbofa:


Let us assume they are Yorubas, drumming is a honourable profession, you don't even have to pay them and they won't dip their hands in your pocket. There is a reason why ibos don't beg, and it is not because of their pride. It is because of their aggressive and impatient nature. An ibo man starts begging on Monday, by Wednesday, he will be forcefully dipping his hands in the pockets of passersby, by Friday, he will be robbing them with a weapon.

ROFLMAO

Please o, Im not denigrating anyone, but this has got to be the funniest thread Ive read in ages!

Four Nigerians (ibos ) saved from hanging in Malaysia.

Begging is in their nation.

I'm not a yoruba but I believe that there's some truth in tpia@ statement about yoruba drummers and what they put on.

With the kind of security and dignitries at ojukwu's burial, I doubt that those hungry men in that picture won't get anywhere near the gate.

Finally, there were yoruba drummers, but though I wasn't opportuned to attend the show to know what kind of attire they were putting on, I believe that they would have been properly dressed. So the picture is a scam.

Obviously they are yoruba performers/drummer.

Certainly not begging but busking.

Ojukwu wife Bianca still on offer?

I spit on this thread.

@tpia
Your argument is lame. Those men especially the one by the right is Yoruba. Isn't it obvious. Must they wear a hat? Is there a rule that says all Yoruba drummers must wear a hat?

What a shame.

Of the 4, 3 are wearing hats, 2  of which are typical Yoruba hats. I have no grain of doubt that all 4 of them are Yorubas.

There are different grades of entertainers in Yoruba social events -

1. musicians
2. native griots
3. freelance drummers

In the event that the occassion is a burial of an important and famous person, as Ojukwu is, then musicians will be there to entertain the family and the vips and all other dignitaries and attendees generally.  They are not discriminative in their performance, any and all are welcome to dance.  The griots are different!  They drum too.  They are there for the family, for native sons and daughters and known and familiar dignitaries. The griots know the praise poems/songs for the bereaved family, for other native families and for certain improtant visiting dignitaries.  Griots are specific and don't praise anyone but nobles.  Freelance drummers are just there working the crowd and playing tunes to cheer and lighten you up with melody in hope you will appreciate their effort and tip them.   They do not beg, but they look for tips from people who appreciate their entertainment. 

In this photo, these people are definitely freelance drummers and I cannot say which tribe they belong.  If this is Yoruba trade, then I will expect that whoever is making money from the craft will equally present the Yoruba facade and try to fit in well for the success that it might bring.   This is where tribal marks help. . .there would have been no contention!   

Hey, OP. . . these drummers are looking for tip and not begging at all.   

Example. . . if griots were here I would expect them to perform the Ojukwu family ancestral praise, if the family has one. Then visit where the governors are seated and praise each governor by his ancestors praise song, then go to the Chief of Army staff and perform for him with his ancestral song. . . . go to Ado Bayero, even though he is a different ethnic and visiting. . . .if he has one, trust me, Yoruba griots know it and will perform it. They will greet Rawlings with the drum and give accolade to his leadership but not sing a praise for him.

Nchara shut your trap. . . who ask you?
