[size=18pt] Tobechi Onwuhara: The king of home equity fraud[/size]

Almost all of Onwuhara's co-conspirators were indicted and pleaded guilty. Precious Matthews was sentenced to 51 months in prison. Daniel "Orji" Orjinta got 42 months. Abel Nnabue had his sentence reduced to 27 months after cooperating with prosecutors. Paula Gipson and Ezenwa Onyedebelu helped prosecutors and had their sentences reduced to 15 months and 14 months, respectively. Only Henry Obilo pleaded not guilty. He was sentenced to 88 months in prison.

This one is even on CNN and Americas most wanted

One_Naira: Most times I see topics like this in USA, it's always una. Biko nu stop, I dey beg. Everywhere in USA, people see Nigerians as nothing but scammers and fraudsters.

Dude even this your post makes no sense. People go to the USA most wanted list when they are difficult to capture and when there crime crosses along state line which tobechi was guilty of. By the way, he's not the only Nigerian to be put in the most wanted list in USA.

Jessica Tata from PH was one
http://www.usmarshals.gov/investigations/most_wanted/tata/tata-cap.htm

Evbigie Edos from Edo was another one
http://www.africanoutlookonline.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=526:477

And there have been SW in the most wanted list. The topic even made it in Nairaland it seems https://www.nairaland.com/138739/18-most-wanted-nigerians-usa

This is why I said most, I didn't say all. I'm not the only one that said it and if you think we are all lying, I dare you to come here and see it for yourself. I am not even trying to be tribalistic right now, it similar to if we go to Asia, yes there are some non-Igbo found trafficking drugs over there too but most found are of Igbo descent. I am not going to try and sugar coat anything right now because una feel offended, it needed to be said and begged to stop.

Balkan or whatever u call yourself, I look at my life and I don't see anything that makes me poor John. I have a bigger goal than trying to acquire the whole of Lagos. Am not less than a Yoruba man cos God made all men equal. It's ur race that always think they're superior and when I check there's absolutely nothing to boast of about being ibo. Find out where am from there's Igala, igbira, and of the Yorubas you mentioned I won't disclosed that to you! I think you should be bothered about knowing the origin and history of a race with no known ruler or cultural heritage other than what you see in things fall apart.

IYA NGBALI: They can't own Lagos,it's just a wishful thinking,it's like NIgerians having a lot of property in Los Angeles and now claiming that they own the place,it is not possible and IT CAN NEVER BE POSSIBLE.
It won't work only if the yorubas stop folding their hands.
Take a look at PH they are also laying claim to that place at the expense of the ikwerres they literally own PH. I think we can stop them using the power of Nairaland let's start a thread "YORUBAs beware, Ibos plans to acquire the whole of Lagos in 40 years time" you know government officials know dis website it will go a long way in stalling their unsatiable lust for Lagos and the South-west. Lagosians have failed the yorubas but its never too late to stop this strange race!

Out of the 32 people involved, 22 are Nigerians. Too bad, the name of this our great nation has really been dragged to the mud. And most of the culprits are below 30 years of age. Quest for money. I pity this Country.

you cannot stop a moving train. Most Yorubas don't take Igbo as tenants, they always tell you only Yoruba tenants wanted. You see that particular house will stay waiting for Yoruba tenants that will never come for years. They are very poor that they can't afford to pay rents. You have few super rich Yorubas . But on the average the purchasing power is in the hands of Yorubas will steal from the government and the end giving it to the Igbo man in the market. In building materials, cars, wears computers name it. The world hate the Jews but they are the most powerful and most prosperous. Go to Abuja, Igbos own 50% of the properties there. Hotels plazas it's not by magic but hard work.

Yoruba mechanic will labour all the day working on gear box looking dirty and get peanut after work, the Igbo man sells one gear box and make a huge profit in one transaction.
POOR-JOHN. it's already too late for you guys.

You are so ignorant about your environment. They record are there. It's time for you task around you. We don't need to be President or minister to be what we are. Does it not surprise you that we made all this progress with just €20 ?

You just a poor pitiable fellow. If you like hate Igbos it does not change anything. You will just end up with high BP

There was a man,

his name was Rich John.

But he was not rich.

Far from it, he was poor.

Poor like a church rat.

Well, that, i don't know... its just a guess.

But what I do know, and am very sure of-

is that he hates the Igbos.

he sees them prosper

he sees them flourish

he sees them move to western nigeria,

and through their hard work and labor, blood and sweat, discrimination and envy,

(from non-Igbos and even the government at times)

they succeed - and the painful part is ...

they send their profits and riches to family in the east;

they visit from Lagos in brand new cars;

and Rich John just can't take it,

he just cant.

Strange?

Well, there's more.

If Rich John found a bottle or rat poison,

and opens it (for a drink) - and at his surprise -

a genie appears.

If he had 3 wishes -

even if it was just one wish...

Rich John would ask the Genie

to make all Igbos disappear from Lagos.

But the joke is on him.

The Genie is Igbo.

and before the Genie allowed him to take his drink like his forefather, Wowo Awo

The Genie said to him ...

"What God has blest... no man can curse.

What point is there to be envious of someone's success? One would wonder.
but this is Nigeria, where hate, backbiting and all manners of evil pervade.
May god help us all... aman

I'm sure its you (Rich John) that was a while back tried to start some sot of campaign for all Yorubas in Lagos to fire their Igbo employees! rofl!

In your dreams did you see an Igbo man working for a Yoruba.. in Nigeria.

We know why it stillpains you guys (the triablist Yorubas on here) so much, so bitterly, that our hero did not surrender to Obasanjo.
it "pains" y'all so bad that your only solace is to make fun of him "running" away to Cote D'Ivoire. Typical attitude towards a girl or job or whatever it is that one tries to get, but fails --- belittling the object helps the person deal with the disappointment.

In that your a

ttempt to have Igbos fired, you wanted to "lead by example" and said you were going to fire the two Igbos you employed... that was so laughable who knows if you have a job, your oga at the top might even be Igbo. Anu mpam. ewu ohia. Ishi okpoo.
and as a school mate in highschool would ask a "misbehavant" (lol) ... or rather comment ... "(O di ka) eji azu amu muo gi." If you have any Igbo friend, ask them for its meaning... but seeing your hate on here... you probably dont, so unless a nairalander interpretes it for ya... nevermind it then...

well ... on a second note and thought ... it means ... "You make me laugh and thats a good thing!" grin tongue
