Visa Racketeering And Nigerian Ethnicities: Yorubas are in charge here

The highlighted part of the above response is wishful thinking. You mean Yorubas travel more than Igbos? Are you kidding me or what? For starters, visit:

To see those who mostly represent Nigeria in Europe, and also

For information on the ''quality'' (whatever that means) Nigerians in Germany.

As the Secretary of the Nigerian Association in the state of Germany where I live, I can tell you straight ahead that Igbos make up 50% of Nigerians in the state, and this statistics is not different in other German states.

My man, it isn't that difficult to figure it out; I will allow you to do the maths.
I consider Visa Racketeering as a nationwide problem, while the Igbo made 419 represents worldwide problem that continues to drastically damage the great image of Nigerians.

FYI: We are not getting anywhere by trying to point fingers at the demons; let us put our heads together and quickly discover an effective way to clean up our image as Nigerians.
Well educated Nigerians are now starting to have problems finding good jobs, Nigerian businesses all around the world are suffering enormously and Nigerians in general are also no longer proud to claim Nigerian Identities; all because of these greedy pigs.

Mr. Germannig, stop comparing apples and oranges; you will never win. The sky high records are out there. I will advise you to exhibit a fully developed mentality and be more productive by only recommending solution.
Folks in Europe or America or Asia do not ask if whether you're Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba before labelling you as a criminal, just because you're from Nigeria.
We are all Nigerians; believe it or not, whatever affects Igbo will also affect Yoruba or Hausa.

Visa racketeering: SFU beams searchlight on American Embassy  | Print |   E-mail

  — Arrests couple, 8 others

THE Olayinka Balogun-led Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of   the Nigeria Police is currently beaming its searchlight on the American Embassy following reports of mass invasion by visa racketeers.  Already, a man and his wife and eight others are presently cooling their heels in the Unit’s custody and may be prosecuted if a prima facie case is established against them.


Speaking with Crime Guard at the Milverton office of the unit,  the Police Commissioner said that the SFU was poised to cleanse the entire country of corruption and fraudulent practices. According to him, “the onslaught against visa racketeers followed series of complaints from the American Embassy.

This is yet another opportunity to warn members of the public to be wary of dubious agents who claim to be able to procure visas especially, American visa, for unsuspecting or gullible members of the public. Potential applicants are also warned that they not only risk losing money in the process but may also face trial which may lead to imprisonment.”

Giving a lowdown on the arrested suspects, the Police boss said: “ On January 8, 2008, one Mrs. Islamiyat Olaronke Agoro, a female visa applicant went to American Embassy for a visa interview.When the embassy’s record was reviewed, it was discovered that the suspect had previously travelled to the United States, using another identity. It was suspected that on July 30, 2007, the suspect entered the US with a UK passport No. 0944480424 bearing the name Salimot Agoro.

This was confirmed through fingerprints and physical recognition software. At the end of investigations, it was also discovered that the suspect actually travelled to the US using a UK visa bearing Salimot Agoro, belonging to her sister with whom she shares some physical resemblance. The said Salimot Agoro presently resides in the UK and efforts are on to reach her for questioning.

“Another suspect is Hadijat Olasunbo Balogun. The suspect also applied for a US visa and was invited for an interview. On close scrutiny, her documents were discovered to be forged.  Further investigations by detectives at SFU showed that her husband, Kehinde Balogun, conspired with her to forge the documents.

We got him arrested equally and recovered a West African Senior School Certificate, Lagos State Certificate of Occupancy, a deed of agreement, a UBA and GTB statements of account, Corporate Affairs Commission certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Article of Association and Yaba College of Technology certificate from them. Kehinde Balogun made useful statements admitting that he paid one Ojolo Oluseyi the sum of N200,000 to procure the forged documents.  We then went after the said Ojolo and got him arrested also.  He admitted collecting the money,  but claimed he in turn paid one Dide of Benin Republic the sum of N75,000 for the documents. We would arraign the suspects in court at the end of investigations.”

“Similarly,” continued the Police boss, “another suspect who identified herself as Adebisi Olusola Ogunpola was arrested following revelation that the visa found in her possession was forged. Like every other applicant, the suspect attended a visa interview at the American Embassy, but a close perusal of her Nigerian passport showed Chinese and Turkish visas which were unarguably fake. When interrogated, she confessed that she hired the services of one Musibau to forge the visa for her at the rate of N50,000.  This was to enable the passport appear used instead of the fresh passport that it was. 

“Another diehard suspect is one Babatunde Akindele. This suspect appeared at the American Embassy to review his visa. A scrutiny of the records revealed that the suspect had been using various names at the embassy and we were promptly alerted. Interrogation by my men led the suspect to admit to having perpetrated several scams in a bid to get an American visa.

He confessed that in 1999, he travelled to the US on a British passport No. 003306622 bearing the name, Dare Akinola, which was procured for him by one Adedeji Johnson. He used this passport to travel to the US but was deported at the point of entry.  In 2001, he also applied for a US visa using a Nigerian passport No. A1080618 bearing the name, Babajide Johnson Adedeji. This was also detected and the application was refused. He re-applied in 2001 with his real name, and his application was successful until he was detected at point of renewal. He is one desperate and unrepentant racketeer and we are spreading our dragnet in other embassies for people like him.”

Other racketeers with similar offence, the CP maintained, would be thoroughly investigated and would face the full wrath of the law.

hmmm,NO COMMENT. Let's try to move this Great Nation forward. Religion or tribalism will keep drawing you backward. NO TO TRIBALISM! ONE NIGERIA!!!

Anotha pathetic tribalism thread!

Haven't you heard. . .according to some people, Northerners are the root of all that is wrong with the world. Yep, somewhere in Kaduna. . .Katsina. . .Kano. . .Satan is chillin', just waiting to pounce on the souls that have been led astray by the. . .you guess it, NORTHERNERS !!!!! ^{Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!}

And people still wonder why Nigeria is the way it is.

All una wey talk say na Yoruba's dey racketeer visas n things ,  una no get urselves no be all these visas dem get 4 ya ppl dey make dem dey send money give all u nicompoops 4 western, moneygram n other means

hw many ppl from other tribes fit get visa without all these means ,
Please let us be sensible n ojective b4 we start to dey open mouth like water wey dem pump comot from kainji


Lagos (Ilu ogbon ) u must wise up 4 lagos

I rest my case,

A breath of fresh air .

Let them keep pointing fingers while the damage keeps spreading.


Travelling with or without documents is not a preserve of the Yorubas . The Igbos also contributes a sizeable percentage.  419 is not perpetuated by just the Igbos. The Yorubas are also making thier names heard. Remenber the Yahoozee artiste?

Bottomline is that these two tribes have a huge bearing on what ever Nigeria would be tomorrow.

Woman, i didn't say other tribes has no hands in crimes, i'm only saying the level of criminality by westerners are more,
western Nigerians are terrorising other Nigerians with all forms of criminal acts. If it's not Otumba Bode George stealing today, it will be Shino Rambo with AK47 chasing Nigerians on the street.

  Exactly, so what is your point?

Atleast Yorubas can do fraud /// for unselfish reasons (ask these ppl who were caught in the act n c if they av no story to tell!) Yorubas have to be really pressured to commit silly offence if you ask me they weigh their actions before they commit, atleast they dnt go as far as killing their wives, mothers and children for money Rituals!

The only reason Ibos are unheard of in Govt is b'cos of their ego. Igbos hate to be controlled so they'd rather do it alone in some dodgy way and bare the consequences alone thereby dying a shameful death.

And infact 419, is ;arge;y perpetrated by igbos so exactly wat is your point abeg

Enhen

I hereby rest my case.

i said it about them long again,
i wish Bode George  stay in Jail for life. Tell me how a country can progress. THIEVES

There is no group in the world as ignorant as the Yoruba. People who do not know the capital of Edo state.

Sharrap there, Yoruba harlot

your mama the harlot you mean

Just want to know if Yorubas are still Committing this Crime of Visa Racketeering. I learnt that Police are out for them now.
