While I do not & will not support anything that does not glorify my name as a creative writer that I am. I take it personal when people try to play Jesus on an issue we all know they're equally as guilty or even more guilty.

So
I only want you lots to reckon that every evil facet of this country had been pioneered by the yorubas, thus it is a height of hypocrisy for you lots to come back and point a finger at anyone when the four others point directly at you.

I have been on this forum for sometime now and I see exactly what's going on here. Not that I am not aware of the hate or envy that some of you hold against us, but coming here have really shown me that the bitterness especially from yorubas against igbos is much more pronounced among those who claim to be educated.


Thus I have taken it upon myself to stand for my people Ndigbo in good times and in bad times.

And whenever I come across a bigot I shall employ all my knowledge to put such fellows back to their deserved state of misery.

Good day.

Are you saying all the Unazis on facebook are originally Igbo?
And are you implying that two yorubas executed in Indonesia were Igbo or sent my Igbos? How ridiculous
Can you tell us what Unazi means in Igbo? If you can't, quit making up stories.

bofoy:
never you try to mentioned calabar again that name is not frm calabar

somegirl1:


You may want to take it up with the Unazi guy on facebook who put down where he's from on facebook as Cross River, not with me.

bofoy:

Do you understand English?

LastProphet:



am an igala from Idah in kogi state, I have lived in ibo , Yoruba and many parts of Nigeria, my hometown is 77kms from nsukka and needless to say u shud know that there are IBO's that are even igalas and its on record that no single IBO resident was attacked in the whole igala land during the war. so I hope u see that am not Yoruba or holding brief for any group even including igalas. I say what I see and I have no time for bigotry, check my past posts u will see where I condemmed the wrong igalas are doing in kogi, so pls drop the usual I-am-hated-or-envied sentiment of IBO's and face reality.

no but i speaks English

well,u might be right...how was ur night?

IYou have provided no proof not to speak of proof that out-weighs mine. Unazi is mainly a Benue - Idoma, Tiv surname.
Besides, Igbos don't bear two English names officially. There would usually be a Igbo first name or middle name.
The two yoruba men executed looked yoruba.

If the world goes by your proposition to treat Igbos as guilty of drug dealing until otherwise proven, we would also have to treat yorubas as guilty of paedophilia, ritual murders and incestuous relationships until otherwise proven and northerners as terrorists until otherwise proven.

Drug dealing can be blamed on a nation that has failed its people. Paedophilia, murder and in-cest are inexcusable.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

MeandSum:


Here we have someone complaining about unfair treatment of Igbos. You should go back and read all your past post. Look at the one above, Yoruba is always written in small letter while all the other tribes you mentioned are capitalize. Sounds like a girl disappointed with a Yoruba guy... and it seems very personal(performance or timing issue?).

whether we like it or not, we all have, maintain and expand on our stereotypical perceptions of others. This is well explained from the standpoint of evolutionary psychology. Prejudice, some claim, is embedded inside our DNA to provide advantage over others.

I can see you're trying to justify drug dealing by claiming it's a result of government failure. Have you seen those at the other end of the drug trade? the thousands of families effected by some idi.t's decision to make a quick buck or the millions of kids whose lives are destroyed?

It is so unfortunate that this lady is going to die. I remember when we visited Nigerians at the Sunga Bolul ( dont know if that is the right spelling) prison in Malaysia on a routine prison visit with the my friend and embassy official on my last trip to Malaysia 2 years ago. I really pity her cos her case stands out and was the only female Nigerian prisoner accuse of drug in the whole of Malaysia. i read must comment here and i pray that people dont judge us wrongly for what we were framed up for.

her story, she was married to a Nigerian guy that resides in Malaysia and after dating for sometime and the guy lavishing a huge amount of money on her. They decide to relocated to Malaysia and live as husband and wife, of course the guy have to go first to make preparations. He got admission for her in one of the mushroom schools attended mostly in Malaysia by Nigerians just to have a student status permit. when she was to meet him he made her believe he has ask someone to give a better traveling bag to make the trip for her convenience, the bag arrive via a friend and the bag man even called the hubby in Malaysia in her presence after which she also spoke to him on the same phone . all was set and smooth until she was arrested on arrival at the KLIA in Malaysia.

She is a very beautiful fair lady and you cant stop liking her when you see her and how friendly she was, we knew she had a very difficult case as she was a novice and had already made some statement and gave names plus pics of the guy and friends that he has. so who will come for her rescue? the supposed husband number couldn't be reach and his address and name were fake. he must have been using a different name in his passport cos the name she gave was not in any system. her case was helpless and there was nothing anyone could do but hope.

left after two weeks, but she was always in my mind. i was just laughing at comments here on how even her tribal men and women denied an innocent lady because of her name. of course we all know the tribe that runs the Drug trade in Asia. the fact still remains that an innocent lady is going to die because of the greed of a brother. she was deceived but the law is blind.

somegirl1:


Sarcasm......I thought it was evident.
I never complained about unfair treatment of Igbos. We are not at yours or anyone's mercy.
I only wanted to establish that not all non-yoruba. non-hausa names are Igbo names and hopefullly communicate that the issue is not just an Igbo issue. The part of your comment alluding to disappointment etc., stale.

MeandSum:


Not quite sure where your dirty mind went about disappointment or timing. And yeah, I know it's stale.If I see a news about ritual killing, I automatically suspect it was done in the west, pedophilia I think of the north and incest I think of the east(most people from the east only marry from their village which creates a close loop of bigotry as we can see). Drug dealing (from hard drugs to fake paracetamol or that fake cough syrup) also goes to the Igbos... same thing with cannibalism.

We can go on and on and on. Bottom line, I know very well the short coming of my tribe. Please accept yours and try to fix it.

ehispapa:



The pics wont come up with out his real name or finger print. Malaysia isnt as sophisticated like the US and other developed countries. Do you know that Nigerians make new passport and travel back just to change identity in Malaysia? if they dont get your finger prints they can figure you out. I feel for her

hustla:


Wow! Nawa for Nigerians oo, always spoiling everything

j1mmy:


STOP saying "Nigerians" DRUGS in ASIA is a predominantly IGBO crime!

hustla:


Shut up
I am Yoruba and they see us as the same thing at International Airports

I remember being the last person to be checked in at customs in India. They just whisper 'Nigerian' to themselves and delay me some more
Just checking and rechecking my passport and luggage for no reason

Better wise up and stop this tribalism stupidity

Bye

j1mmy:


maybe you look and behave like IGBO, I never get checked like you described. They ask me what part of Nigeria...you are IGBO, IGBO person Have something in luggage, some powder??
...and I say does my name look like IGBO and they look at themselves and say ok different!
That has been my experience in Malaysia, Indoneseia, Vietnam, Thailand.

I was told that mallams working in NDLEA have educated interpol and many drugs destination countries about IGBO nijja passport holders!

On the Streets on these Asian countries, the police and local people know IGBO.

I think you should shut your mouth if you don't know what you are talking about!

somegirl1:


Such a liar.
I've holidayed in Asia more than once. I've never been asked what part of Nigeria I'm from.
Reserve your story for ignorant people.

j1mmy:


Well you are an ignorant person!

You are either an IGBO or behave like one. I know over a dozen people who were asked that question and I know that on the streets of Thailand the same question is asked, it was asked in Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.

I am one of the people who brought awareness to local police, people, immigration and customs in Asia about it and I know it is effective. If there are a few airport officials who are still not aware or want to stigmatize Nigerians then perhaps... but by and large it is starting to take root in Asia that the ethnic group from Nigeria dealing drugs are IGBOs.

NDLEA, Nigerian Ambassadors in those countries, diplomats, and many law abiding students and businessmen made sure of that.

I don't care what you think, IGBO people are not going to use drugs to destroy Nigerian passport for law abiding Nigerians and make their lives miserable without some of them doing something about it.

any IGBO person I see at the airport or on the streets of Asia doing drugs will be reported and made to face the firing squad and it will be reported as an IGBO statistic!

Bro, I have actually considered that prospect, and it scared me!! Imagine trying to defend yourself in the face of skepticism and prejudice? Tamuno pasisi!!

I was outside the country a few years back, and a Nigerian woman in the same hotel with my family got friendly with us, and asked us to help her carry some luggage because she had excess luggage and we seemed to be traveling light! I forbade everyone in my party from any attempt to be sympathetic! Certainly, the women with me begged and implored that we should help, but I was adamant!

Can something be as crazy as unwittingly being someone's drug mule? If you succeed, you get a "thanks for the assistance"; if you fail, you go straight to jail or the gallows! After all, who will believe you didn't know?

As expected, the Nigerian woman was pissed, but I didn't owe her any apologies; her boisterous and chatty nature even scared me more!!

somegirl1:


give your self a round of applause. I hope you at least get paid for your efforts.
I see Igbos being very terrified of you.
Until the passport is changed. We are all seen as the same.
Continue in your delusion. I shall be travelling to Asia again late this year or early next year. I'll ask the immigration officials whether they aren't forgetting to inquire about my ethnic group.

j1mmy:


Do you know why Thai embassy requires Clearance Certificate issued by N.D.L.E.A?
Because NDLEA flags IGBO passengers to the Thai even if a VISA is issued that IGBO person is marked.

NDLEA have and will always tell you that 99% of DRUG dealers are IGBO

NDLEA made interpol, ASIA, Middle East countries, South American coountries aware of the ethnic group involved in this crime.

Since then the detection rate and arrest of IGBO drug dealers have gone up!

That policy started in the period of General Musa Bamaiyi, I know that because the mallam made it his tenure policy to finger IGBO drug dealers.

So for your info, if you know any IGBO drug dealers tell them they will be checked specially even if the customs people at the other end just says "Nigerian".

somegirl1:



Wouldn't they first have to be able to identify Igbo names? That's the tricky bit.
I'm guessing you know all Igbo names and Igbo name formats. Did you not just incorrectly guess that the subject of this post is Igbo when in fact Unazi is a Benue name. Can you tell whether someone with the surname Osa is Igbo or Bini, Olumba igbo or Cross River, Okoro Igbo or Urhobo, if their first names are English? I'm sure you would think Ochigbo is an Igbo name or Ola is definitely not Igbo . If you don't know, how can you educate others? That's assuming that these people actually care to differentiate among Africans, not to speak of Nigerians.
I doubt they'd subject non-Igbos to less checks than they would Igbos.
I haven't been given special attention on any of my asian trips because I'm Igbo. Perhaps it only happens in your neighbourhood.
If you truly want to mend your image abroad, join the movement for peaceful secession. As long as we hold the same passport, we are in the same boat.
