Nogen:

Famous or notorious? Famous is positive. I think notorious is more like it.

dayokanu:

Yes I have. A thief that terrorized my town in the early 90's and was killed by a mob

ladenz:

why was he scanning the crowd for your dad's mother

sCun: There were Igbos, but you can't come up with any names. Your hatred for Igbos will kill you, just take time to go through your posts.
Even the hard core criminals of today are still Yorubas, Abbey Godogodo and the likes.
Goodluck in finding Igbo names, I doubt if you'll find any.

coogar: i love urban legends - oyenusi was a legend. each time i have culled an elder to tell me about him, they all had spine-chilling things to say about him as the most notorious armed robber in the history of nigeria.

The Top 5
• dr. oyenusi
• lawrence anini
• derico
• shina rambo
• kayode williams.

nollywood producers should gather intelligence & do movies on the stories of these urban legends & share the proceeds with their known victims. that's how it's done in the developed world.

elampiro2:

Coogar, please explain the legend aspect. In Nigeria there is nothing legendary in robbery, it is a total thing of shame.

coogar:


urban legends are incredible stories – sometimes scary, sometimes funny – which have a tantalizing bit of plausibility to them. urban legends contain many folkloric elements and they spread quickly through a community or society.

the tales are usually told dramatically, as if they are true stories that have happened to a real people, although they may in fact be fictional. local touches are often added to the legend. urban legends often carry a warning or have some significance that motivates the community in preserving and propagating it.

St. Edwin:


I am sorry but I do not agree with you on this. There's nothing legendary about someone who decides to carry arms and terrorise other citizens, killing those who go about their daily living. There's nothing legendary about such people. If you believe they are legends, then you are inadvertently encouraging someone out there who can't live above his means to take up a gun and go on a spree killing.

Neither does encouraging nollywood producers or actors to act the script of such notorious psychopaths a worthy act. If you want to help the victims of these criminals, there are better ways of doing such like organizing a fundraiser, et al and not eulogising these criminals and asking the proceeds of such acts be given to the victims.

Please don't call an armed robber an urban LEGEND. You are simply bastardizing that word 'Legend' and in the process placing evil in the midst of good......

There are people who have made significant and amazing contributions to humanity and are called LEGENDS and I don't think placing criminals in the same class as these people is the right thing.

coogar:

legend = the story being told about famous or infamous people generally. they don't have to contribute positively to be legends. a serial killer is a legend so is a freedom fighter like mandela. you can google it & confirm. whether famous or notorious - as long as people talk about it en masse - a legend is born.

the dictionary defines legend as an unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical or a person whose fame or notoriety makes him a source of exaggerated or romanticized tales or exploits.

so whether you like it or not, derico, anini, oyenusi & shina rambo are all legends.

Maybe in your own little stratosphere. You might as were build images and statutes of them and idolize them.

shadrach77:
nope, there was one more you didn't add the legendary ibadan rober Mufu Oloosa Oko. So popular a film was released about him recently. And the write up by the op did not do justice to Oyenusi. He was heavily fortified via charms and so many legendary stories abound about his exploits

coogar:

you are a bush man.
robin hood, britain's most notorious robber is a legend. countless movies have been done about him. then you have billy the kid, adolf hitler & even bin laden are legends. why don't you verify these statements instead of letting your emotions get the better of you?

misterh: GOSH!!! This post just turned my stomach. WTF?? Everybody is a sinner but some sins weigh more than others. So a murderer should be left off the hook because the judge is also a sinner? Most adults stole meats from the pots when they were young but does that stop them from punishing their own children if they steal meats from the pot? If we are to follow your logic, the world would be inhabitable. Damn!

This is what happens when you try to convince a neanderthal. I made my facts and reasons point and clear.

dr dams: When we say an act is legendary or some one is a legend ; it doesnt neccessarily means their attributes tends towards positivity.

With you assertions thus far, I will like to say your Naivety & Superfluous Emotional display is Legendary!!!

IBB who killed Dele Giwa is a Legend, Abacha, Osama Bin Laden, Clifford Orji, Ojukwu are all legends ih their respective ordeals!!

coogar:

phlame:

He meant Oyenesi's Mother you I*d*I*O*T
