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.


Another mumu and personified zombie spotted!!!

Which region is controlling the entertainment(nollywood) and sports industry again

Which region is controlling the business sector in the country again

Which region is controlling the manufacturing, import and export sector

I can go on and on to school your illiterate, deluded and bigoted mind, but i have no time for such frivolities.

Meanwhile can you list the states that are part of the oil producing states (NDDC) in Nigeria again My local government in Abia state alone produces more crude oil than cross river as a state.

"Allow Igbos to secede", but you get jittery and scared whenever you see/hear any news related to IPOB.

I condemn in strong terms what the few of my misguided brothers are doing, but i'll forever remain proud of who i am.....I'm proudly Igbo!!

You think it's to sit in your enclave somewhere in Oshogbo or Ibadan and spew rubbish online.
Go and get some education bro!!!

No cause for alarm.

The pics attached by the OP shows that the bank is a miserably capitalized one, with a branch in a grocery store.

There remains thousands of locations in the US from which western union transfers can be made to Nigeria.

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.

I see the picture you're painting.
But guess what, given the state of affairs as they currently stand..
It will be an innocent bystander or victim of political witchhunting that will be the unfortunate recipient!!!


As long as there are people in the corridors of power that are known to have exceedingly very dirty hands, that remain untouched, this remains a pipedream!!

Sorry u forgot to include ritual killing and adultery under south west..

I am deeply depressed when people failed to sympathize with the Igbos over the situation that caused this stigmatization. The rituals you mentioned above is very high in that region, only Ebonyi is clean, very clean. I agree with adultery in south west but that is nothing compared to prostitution which your ladies called hustling. I am so shocked to see them in large numbers in Mali, Ivory Coast and even in Senegal.

The reason is the courage of very hardworking, determined and intelligent people who have been frustrated and cheated by the Nigeria system. They are not happy in Nigeria but Nigeria enslaved them. They cannot beg or live a parasitic life, so, they want to make it at all cost. Whenever I visit Onitsha main market, Ariara (Aba), Alaba and ASPAMDA, I always salute the courage and enterprising spirit of Ibos. No tribe in Africa have such spirit.

It is the survival tendency and competition among age grade that made the IGBO to go the way of crime. The Igbo's create wealth, the Nigerian system creates injustice, they have to look for ways to survive.

The age long duplicity of political system in yoruba land has not allowed one strong body like Igbos to evolve. Until there is a body with an agenda similar to Igbos in yoruba land, revolution or secession cannot be possible.

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!!

This will not stop any xmas stuff. Dat has become part of our culture. But Honest and hard working ones surpass criminals across. Show off will still happen. Younger ones and youth will still be amazed and without solid opportunities, some will promise to make it at any cost. Dont forget most of the igbos that own store in your city market do just that..buying and selling and growing their business through cost effective labor of apprentice system.

I will be really amazed if Western Union (not freaking HEB whose biggest revenue stream is selling grocery/food!) stops dealing with Nigeria! You know how much profit Westo have pulled in fees, etc. like Transfer Fee, Official Exchange or lower rate... I stopped dealing with them years ago. Thief company. The most they will do is adjust ID requirements, wait time for more security and verification, etc. If not, the smaller companies win big time and continue to vastly replace their services.

But yes Igbo has been over the news recently and it is just Bad! Eziokwu!

It's unfortunate that the majority are saying there are other options. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean. You don't know the stick the bank or supermarket is currently taking as a result of past deals done there by fraudsters. Do you know some people only send/receive money only through that option for years. You want to do a normal ordinary transaction and you are denied because you are Nigerian. They call and call and check and check and authorize and authorize for something others will get done even without ID. When they start asking for documents as if you want to apply for Express entry or B.Sc in foreign university. You don't know how frustrating and stigmatizing that is.
