It was banned a long time ago.

Nigeria is a useless country...nobody implements laws here that's why nothing works.

Good grief, I could have said I give up, but actually we have to fight this scourge to the very end.

Stop respecting and honouring 'rich' thieves. Help the security forces fish out all these yahoo boy miscreants.

I think it's high time Federal Government allow Igbos secede from the federation. They contribute nothing if not crime and hatred.

In federal Union, each region is expected to contribute something meaningful such as natural resource or raw materials but igbos contribute nothing to the federation and yet they'd not allow other Nigerians to rest.

At least each region brings something to the


federation table except igbos.

North - Crop production and livestock

South West - Timber, crude oil and shipping ports

South South - Crude oil and shipping ports.

South East - Crime, hard drugs, prostitution, scam, fake products such as medicine etc. And now they've come up with a new system of committing crime and pin it on Fulani herdsmen.

Yes, the North engage in terrorism but it mostly affects them and it's internal which most countries are battling with. It has not stopped foreign firms from transacting business with Nigeria. It's a global issue.

Yes, South West engage in fetish monetary ritual but it starts and ends with them. They don't go into other regions to carry out their fetish act. And hasn't stopped foreign firms from transacting business with Nigeria.

But Igbos combined all the negatives other unit of the federation are known for ( kidnapping and armed robbery, money ritual etc). Even the trending internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo) 80% of them are igbos.




Well, I don't really blame the US bank for not transacting with Nigeria because even me as a Nigerian I always think twice before I engage into any business with igbos and with caution as well.





Ur type is the reason why Nigeria is in a mess. Am an Igbo man,a proud one for that matter. I appreciate God for making me an Igbo man cos I do not need to disturb him for wisdom.

What invictus did is evil before man and God and condemnable before any court of law in the world.
But in all of this,ur generational hate for the Igbo tribe will hasten ur down fall and cause u to derail.

Consequently, I will advice u to eschew this kind of hasty generalisation about the same people that have developed every part of Nigeria including ur father's Land.
The reason I chose to reply u is because we have good Igbo men around the world including here in Nigeria,just like we have in other tribes.

So,respect ur age and stop being silly.

I honestly feel very sad right now with this sad news. Everyone will sit tight once a criminal (public figure) is sentence to either long term jail like 50yrs behind bars or public beheading. Court and Nigeria justice system need overhaul restructuring. The only ones who can do this are Houses Senate and Reps not the president but president may be able to use veto power to influence many things. But unfortunately senators and reps are the problems. I don't think I have seen successful persection of govt officials in Nigeria. This is a big shame.

Nigerians glorify riches and elites. Until they get this trash off their attitude Nigeria is going nowhere. What's even funny is, you will be surprised to see many oyinbo people want to live like Nigerians. They think Nigerians way of life is more free than theirs. Indeed there are too many laws and restricted in Western world but unfortunately that's the only way things could work. There is nothing like absolute freedom.

Nigerians seem to have more freedom than Western people but at the expense of regulations.

We actually voted Buhari thinking he can restore things, although one way or the other he's trying his best, no thanks to the previous leaders of the two houses that gave him tough time in implementing a lot of things, thankfully he's got his allies in the houses now, we await another blame game he's going to put out. I really wish he could do something about the situation.

It's called negative energy

There's so much of it in Nigeria

No country moves forward with negative energy.

This country is deeply polarized...we just use religion to cover our crime meanwhile a typical Nigerian is full of evil.

Rational people who know how bad things are in Nigeria know that the country is finished.

Shouting online cannot change anything.

Nigeria has two solutions:

Division or revolution.

If either of the two doesn't happen, we will keep running round in circles

U are talking trash. Stinking trash.
The yoruba people dislikes d Igbo
The Hausa/Fulanis hate d igbos.
The other tribes tolerate them with contempt. They don't benefit from d govt and how else do u think they should live? They do not subscribe to crime by nature unlike d Edo people,
They do not subscribe to terrorism and crime against humanity unlike d Hausa/Fulanis. Lemme remind u that Ibos don't hide their Identity and that's why other tribes in Nigeria will do a lot of sh!t in Ibos name. But Ibos don't care! Continue with ur crap. You are full of sh!T. Anofia.

Either solution you've provided will not provide the result


The psyche of the man on the street is quite disturbed with a slant to criminality.. There's no vacuum in any system. Taking off the leaders is like taking a snake or 2 off Medusa's head. Worse people replace the empty spots.
Regarding the division, where is the seasoned polity or structure that will stand.. None. One after the other, purported leaders have been shown to be lacking in the area of discipline, rule of law or simply public engagement.

There are a lot of outside interests so either of your solutions will result in the creation of chaos/ war zone with huge loss of life and livelihood, affecting generations yet unborn, whilst our resources will be milked away by mercenaries who have no longterm vision for us.. The more divided we are, the greater their cartel reserves.... Look around Libya, Central African, Yemen, Syria etc

In addition, the prevailing public opinion will suggest that nobody is ready to be the sacrificial lamb.. Definitely not... in a situation with no long term plan in place.

revolution will only work if it starts at micro level. Meaning, start crushing traditional rulers, local govt officials, state govt before you take on fed.

Taking your revolution to fed will not work without first working on locals. This is why this so called revolution failed

There's a difference between the rule of law and a few people behaving in ways that depict gross inhumanity and is definitely illegal.

So you sayin Nigeria is hollier than the US and UK..

Not only are they corrupt, the provide a safe haven for money laundering! Where did all the moneys stolen from our national treasury go to?

The USA, U.K stifle the economy of underdeveloped countries without any recourse, isn’t this corruption of the highest order? They introduced IMF during the 70’s or so and that was the end of the Nigerian naira... the naira never bounced back till date!

Go to Pakistan or Russia, they have the most sophisticated scammers/fraudsters.. But they never make front pages, but when it comes to Nigeria, it becomes public glare in order to tarnish the images of hard working Nigerians home and abroad all in vain to stereotype them!

Read the news and see how almost 8 Britons smuggled hard drugs into Australia.. they do this all the time and they never get stereotyped!! Why must the black man pay for the sins of the whites?

Why must the average Nigerian pay for the sins of the political elites in this country? Your answer you can find in George Powell’s ANIMAL FARM!!

fine. But public heading im talking about is not jungle justice but euphemism for saying a very harsh judgement should be handed down for criminal upon conviction even if it takes public beheading. You do this once and you get to sit everyone behave positively.

Yes, there will be public outcry but it will be shortlived. See Iran, china, Saudi. They execute criminals upon conviction. If Nigeria is able to do to a politician, you get to see a new Nigeria.
