Igbo Culture:A Support For Fraud And Illegalities. by Shaftrod(m): 8:29am On Jan 04, 2016 |
I read somewhere that man is a 'Culture bearing Animal' and have often wondered whether this truism has not found its rightful place in the minds and hearts of my brothers from the SE. Or how do we explain their appreciation for everything despicable and illegal provided it's committed by one of theirs? Dasuki, Dokpesi and a host of many others were alledged to have been beneficiaries of an illicit largesse of public funds illegally authorised by Jonathan and my Igbo brothers are raising all manner of absurd excuses to justify the indecent behaviour of treasury looters. I also read that after the court's pronouncement in Abia,sacking the incumbent Governor some Igbo women took to the streets protesting that the sacked governor who fraudulently came to power be reinstated. Do we need to say more to prove that the Igbo culture acts as a direct opposite of anything honest? Where have the shame of my Igbo brothers fled to? 9 Likes |

Mentally deranged persons prowling Nairaland. Who among Dasuki, GEJ, Dokpesi, etc is Igbo. There were also protests against electoral judgement in Kwara, Plateau and Taraba. Few years ago, supporters of Bode George came to court in uniformed aso-oke, complemented by praise singers. Why didn't you say that Yoruba culture promotes vices. 24 Likes 1 Share |

You got it wrong in the bolded. Igbo's are republicans. They believe in the legitimacy of the rule of law. One of those law is of the one thats says that the accused remains innocent except discredited by a competent court of law. If they accused is found guilty no Igbo man will raise a tip of his hands nor whine his mouth. I also read that after the court's pronouncement in Abia,sacking the incumbent Governor some Igbo women took to the streets protesting that the sacked governor who fraudulently came to power be reinstated. Should I also tell you that not every Igbos partake in the said protest. why are you generalising it?, what about the Igbos that supported the court ruling BC it favoured them. and didn't see any need to protest? Are they now excluded from your acclaimed culture you are imposing on the Igbo? That's hypocrisy. Again Igbos are republicans. That's why everybody are to be free exercising his franchise on human right. Igbos can never be against anybody exercising his or her right.
This is the height of it all. The stupidness and adapt foolishness to someone that will go at any length to discredit the wonderful and unique people of Igbo nation. Above all you are entitled to all you've said. And is left for people to criticise it or not. 6 Likes |

Whlie I agree with your observation, I don't agree with your conclusions. Your conclusion if accepted without qualification suggests that fraud and illegality is inherently part of Igbo nature which is unfair and untrue. I have traveled far and wide and interacted with enough people to know that the propensity for criminal behaviour is not defined by a person's ethnic identity, rather it is more complex than that. Things like poverty, peer pressure and desperation can make an otherwise decent person to abandon his principles for the sake of survival. In the case of Igbos, I can say that many of them suffer a kind of persecution complex which drives them to be ethnocentric even to the point of supporting their fellow Igboman who is accused of wrong doing, no matter what he may have done wrong, as long as they believe tribal politics is at play. 5 Likes 1 Share |

CSTR2: You want to go, I want you to go. Is that not saying the same thing but using different words? It's only a dishonest person that would agreed that you've not been part of ruling in Nigeria since the 60s. I will leave the members of this forum to judge that. |
Re: Igbo Culture:A Support For Fraud And Illegalities. by CSTR2: 10:27am On Jan 04, 2016 |
Eledan:You really don't know what you are talking about. The last igbo head of state was before thge civil war. The SE receives by far the lowest federal allocation, has no decent international airport. Everything the SE has accomplished has been through community help. The ruins of the civil war was left to the SE people to repair while billions from the FG is being allocated to the north-east for rehabilitation. So in the entire Nigerian project, the SE have benefited very little and lost too much in the overall scheme of things. Imagine if biafra had come to pass in the 60s, i am sure it would have gone far by now. Asking them to go is not my concern with you. Blaming them for your epic fucckup of a nation is my bone of contention with you. 7 Likes |

@Truthurts. I really enjoy the orderliness of your thought. But then how do you respond to a conversation I had with an Igbo friend who told me that it's a curse for any man from his town not to become rich either by hook and by crook? Even going by most views expressed by some here, it's difficult not to become convinced. |
Re: Igbo Culture:A Support For Fraud And Illegalities. by Eledan: 10:35am On Jan 04, 2016 |
CSTR2: If at your age, you still claim that Igbos have never been part of the ruling elite in Nigeria since the 60's then you have a problem. Ekuweme less than Nine years after the civil war. Ume-Ezeoke All the Senate Presidents during OBJ tenure. You have the largest ruling elite during GEJ tenure, down to the MDAs, you were everywhere. But suddenly a Northerner that you all wished never rule Nigeria is there for less than ONE YEAR and your noise is far more than the noise you've made since Nigeria attained independent. Just be rest assured that those people will pay your hatred back in double measure when the time comes. I still find your assertions ridiculous when we read here of how the SE is by far the most developed region in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Lying propagandist of a juju-infested tribe, to educate you and keep the records straight read this excerpt by one of your own - Waheed B. on HOW YORUBA TRADITIONAL RULERS CONNIVED WITH ABACHA TO ROB MKO ABIOLA OF HIS MANDATE: Traditional rulers have lost the political authority that they hitherto enjoyed. They are now mere ceremonial rulers. Except for the semblance of royalty and obvious opulence associated with some of them, it is not out of place to say that some royal fathers have become obvious embarrassment to their subjects by desecrating their royal and ancestral stools. The Yoruba have not forgotten in a hurry how some of their traditional rulers connived with the military junta to ensure that the annulment of June 12 election victory of late Chief MKO Abiola was not reversed. Some of them did not fare better, under the late General Sani Abacha, probably the most enigmatic and despotic ruler to have ever piloted the affairs of Nigeria. Under his reign, Nigeria was in political and military quagmire. Even his deputy at a time, Gen. Oladipo Diya, was caught in Abacha’s web of bestial conspiracy following his alleged involvement in a hoax coup. Diya was on his way to the Golgota. To drum up support for his evil machination, Abacha needed the support of Yoruba monarchs to nail Diya’s coffin. Quite a number of them were invited to the seat of power to watch the video of how Diya knelt, cried and begged Abacha, who was the protagonist, in the theatre of absurdity, to spare his life. Diya, according to some Yoruba monarchs, was the obvious mastermind of the coup. It was a case of dog eating dog. Abacha achieved his sinister aim using some Yoruba monarchs. Many years after that portentous Abacha era, Lagos monarch, Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, had revealed the role he played as a commissioner of police in the alleged bribery of some Yoruba monarchs by Abacha to frustrate the actualisation of the mandate given to Abiola. Bloody, greedy history distortionists! |

Here is a list of some of your greedy kinsmen who looted and ruined the fortune of this country. And this is your idea of 'One Nigeria' where you persistently rob Peter to perennially pay parasitic Paul, and still continue to spill innocent blood to maintain the status quo in the polity. simtosul post: The question here really is the role these men and women played in the current state of Nigeria. The List of Top 20 Most Corrupt Nigerian Leaders (dead/alive) below: 1. Oluesgun Obasanjo – He stole $25 billion from 1999-2007 ($16.4 from power sector alone) 2. Ibrahim Babangida – He stole $15 billion from 1985-1993 ($12.4 billion from oil wind fall in 1990) 3. Abdulsalam Abubakar – He stole $9 billion from 1998-99 4. Sani Abacha – He stole $7 billion from 1993-1998 5. Ahmed Bola Tinubu – He stole and continues to steal from Lagos State treasury since 1999 till date. It’s estimated that he has stolen $6 billion so far. 6. Muhammadu Buhari – He stole $2 billion from NNPC accounts in the ’70s and the money was traced to Midland bank (now HSBC), London. Under his watch as PTF Head, N25 billion got missing according to PTF Situation Report submitted to Abdusalam in 1999. 7. TY Danjuma – He fraudulently got enriched through oil blocks from the Niger Delta worth $20 million in the 70s after the counter coup. Those oil blocks worth billions of dollars in today’s value. 8. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi – He stole $1.2 billion as CBN Governor from 2008-2014. 9. Bukola Saraki – Through his father, Olukola Saraki, their bank, Societe Generale and as a governor of Kwara State (2003-20111) he stole $1.1 billion 10. Nasir El Rufai – Before he was made the FCT Minister, El Rufai was broke, homeless and was looking for loan to import taxis from the UK. After he was made the minister, he seized landed properties that belonged to Nigerians and resold them with huge profit. It’s estimated that he stole $1 billion from 2003-2007. 11. Tunde Fashola – He is the poster boy of Tinubu. Boht of them looted Lagos dried and left it in debt of about N1 billion. Fashola, among other thing built his personal website for N78 million, drilled borehole for over N100 million per each and built a kilometre road for N1 billion. He stole $900 million from 2007-2015. He’ll soon be a minister to continue the looting. 12. Chubike Rotimi Amaechi – From 2007 to 2015, he stole $700 million and $150 million from that money was used to sponsor Buhari and APC. 13. Atiku Abubakar – When he as asked by our reporter how he made his money, he simply said “he was always at the right place at the right time.” Atiku is an astute businessman, but through shady deals, he stole $500 million from 1999-2007. 14. James Ibori – He stole $150 million from 1999-2007 as governor of Delta State. He’s serving his term for money laundering in the UK. 15. Amina Mohammed – This woman was the founder of Afri-Project Consortium (APC) that was in charge of all PTF Projects during Abacha’s regime. About $125 million was stolen from PTF accounts from 1994-1998. Buhari has just nominated the same woman as a minister to continue to stealing. 16. DSP Alamieyeseigha – He stole $120 million and was arrested for money laundering. He pleaded guilty and long served his term. 17. Sule Lamido – He stole $110 million between 2007-2015 and out of that amount, $50 million was found in his sons’ bank accounts. He was arrested and detained for days together with his sons. 18. Rabui Kwankwaso – He stole $100 million as a governor of Kano State. EFCC has arrested many of his aides and they are “singing” how they siphoned the money 19. Kashium Shettima – this governor has stolen about $80 million and still counting. 20. Rauf Aregbesola – he has milked Osun State to the tune of $60 million. 21. Kayode Fayemi – this former governor stole $40 million and stashed some part of the loot in Ghana. He was reportedly bought a bed for N50 million.
