The Igbo crime culture
Fredrick Nwabufo in On the GoTop StoriesViewpoint


In the sweltering heat of a serial lynching and killing of Igbo citizens in Asia in 2013, I wrote an article entitled, ‘The Igbo fallacy’. In it, I appealed to the Igbo to de-emphasise the culture of profligacy, decadent opulence, debauchery and vanity which fuels the pursuit of crime by their own.

I am compelled to revivify the article here, but with a few adjustments. I say it again; the Igbo take the inglorious front row in certain crimes – drug peddling, armed robbery and kidnapping – at home and abroad.

In August 2016, an Igbo drug dealer was guillotined in Indonesia. But his funeral in Anambra was a shin-dig of celebrations. He was even described as a “hero” by his kinsmen.

Once again, an Igbo kidnapping lord, who unleashed barbarity and savagery on many Nigerians, has steadied attention on the “special” crime proclivities of the ethnic group. I will not dwell on this; I will zero in on Igbo criminality abroad, and take a slight detour home.

As a matter of fact, a good number of Igbo youth in Asia are into crime. It was reported sometime in the year that the India police said all Nigerians – Igbo, of course – in their country were drug dealers. Although, this is questionable, it cannot be entirely repudiated.

Arguably, the reason for Igbo sojourning – to even the remotest of places in the world – has been attributed to their much vaunted entrepreneurial spirit. The truth is that this claim is enclosed in heavy, meaty layers of fallacy like the entrails of burger.

Inasmuch as the “entrepreneurial sojourning” thread cannot be utterly pooh-poohed, it is judicious to explore other reasons why the Igbo are peripatetic. First, in Igbo ethology, it is a cringing evil for a native, man or woman, to commit a “stigmatised” crime (Alu) such as armed robbery, drug-dealing, etc at home. This is not an obviation of abhorrent crimes committed at home by some unabashed Igbo criminals. The truth is, the “home” Igbo criminals are a hopeless and shameless horde whose self esteem and sense of shame are terribly at their nadir, and as a result purvey crimes at home. Inter alia, for any stigmatised crime committed at home (Igbo land) there is a stern reprimand implicit in the cleansing of the crime. The sacerdotal process of cleansing the land of a crime or an abomination is called “Ikpu Alu”. However, “Ikpu Alu” (cleansing of abominations) does not extend to crimes committed by Igbo sons and daughters in places outside the native dome. It is therefore not surprising if some Igbo persons commit heinous crimes in obverse places, and come back home to take chieftaincy titles. As a matter of fact, in some morally weak Igbo communities it is a brave thing to traffic in drugs abroad. Drug barons are gleefully celebrated as Ndi kara Obi (lion-hearted people). Such is the pantomime of the Igbo and crimes.

It is therefore indubitable to posit that an unenviable number of Igbo persons with innate criminal manuals travel outside the Igbo enclave to pursue crimes. This confutes the general idea that the sojourning of the Igbo is driven solely by entrepreneurial inclinations and motives. To a large extent, the sojourning of some Igbo is driven by a morbid aim of shielding their evil trades from the peering eyes of their kinsmen. Their names are protected as long as they do not traffic in crimes at home. The important thing is to be successful in crimes abroad; successful enough to build vulgar mansions at home and throw lazy cash about.

To animate my argument further, what is the entrepreneurial inclination or motive of the Igbo in India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, South Africa, and other countries peddling drugs? Is the entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo only awakened abroad? Why should the Igbo entrepreneurial spirit find its host cozily and lopsidedly outside Igbo land? Is there a marriage between Igbo criminality across the world and Igbo entrepreneurial genome? These are questions that defeat the long, tired argument of Igbo entrepreneurial “peripatetism.”

The fact is the “entrepreneurial” beat-up logic and reason for Igbo sojourning is a bored excuse.

Analogously, Igbo sojourning atavism is also effectuated by pride, ego and vanity. A typical Igbo person will want to prove he is successful in anyway. It is wickedly mortifying to be seen as struggling in Igbo land. This underscores the reason many Igbo persons smuggle themselves out of Nigeria, and because it is thought that any person in Obodo Oyibo (white man’s country) or even anywhere outside Igbo land is “doing well”. Those Igbo persons who are “cursed” to be in Igbo land are seen as struggling and as such do not deserve the courtesy of admiration and respect. It is a proud thing for an Igbo father to say, “All my children are in the abroad”; even though “the abroad” is Gabon. Such a father courts the respect, envy and admiration of other fathers in Igbo land. This is the awful linkage between Igbo sojourning and base vanity.

In all, there are Igbo persons in the scrawny good number whose sojourn in foreign countries is not tainted by any evil intent or base vanity, but it is a bleeding fact that the singular Igbo entrepreneurial logic for sojourning is one big smorgasbord of fallacy

IgbosNIGHTMARE:

OSU ipob pigs retadds always bringing tribalism to everything
That's why they have remained backward in their own land

As an American I love Nigerians they bring business and life to an area

The Caucasians and the house niggers in South Africa keep the South Africa poor as dirt

Have you seen the areas reserve for them They gave them the poorest land and cut them out of every resource

It's still that way for the poor South African youth oppressed in their own land in the richest economy in Africa

They leaders give them the Nigerians to hate because Nigerians showing them how to create your own market

JBoss25:
you're a bloody fool, you're not worth my time.

9gerian:
This makes sense and deserves deep soul searching for all that are affected by this mindset.

Every criticism is an opportunity for improvement...

Igbos are good people. So are Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, and other tribes. We just need to borrow from each the good attributes (because we know them, even if we are too proud to admit it to each other) and desert the negative cultures.

Just look at what hate and animalistic arrogance made you choose as your username MADmohammed , not only is Muhammad the most popular name in the world, it's also a name to an Islamic prophet similar to saying MADmoses to spite jews or MADJesus to spite Christians..... and if you face a terrible repercussions or punishment from the over billions of Muslims you try to spite, your family turn around to claim racism xenophobia and terrorism.
Look man if you get an opportunity to leave in another man's land stop you silly "na me smart pass " "na me hustle pass" "no man's land" mentality

Nne when u post endeavor to add the tribe.
We are posting for international viewers not NIGEIRA... Nigerians already know how everyone is.
AFONJAS want to bring the game international and make east look like the devils den before the world..
They think only them has monopoly of tribalism.
So let the games begin.

This would not have happened if their own country was conducive to live. So far between 2015 , Nigeria has become another thing. it's really difficult when you don't select the right leader or you don't have the right leader to select. Even after the vandalism, they won't still return to Nigeria because the hope of rising again or doing better over there is still higher than in Nigeria. Nigeria has continued to feature at the top of every bad index from the United Nations. From poverty capital, to the most hungry, to the unhappiest people and the likes. Yet, the rhetorics is they are fighting corruption and we are doing better. Should doing better not be the verdict of the people or how do you participate in a match and still ref the match....
