Just saw a picture of his fiancee, precious matthews. She's soooo Pretty!

i just hate it when ppl come here and make comment about tribes,there's nothing as being ibo,Yoruba or Hausa in crime if you criminal minded you simply are,where you from dont matter,i happen to know alot of people in this tobechi rings because i have live in newyork before even though they're the younger ones when i was living in newyork my point is there are also alot of yorubas and other tribe that have been arrested on this same wire transfer level and if you know what it's you'll know that awhole lot of them made mad money from this scam and tobi wasn't the only one and they all use the same method,tobi was only lucky and smarter maybe, so again i dont like when we start condemning our own not saying it's justifiable but when Italians,Irish,Russia,Indians etc do crime like this we call them mafias and all sort of names to praise them,they even have blockbusters movie on them, plus they get lesser times in jail,so why do we totally condemn ours, the truth is there are good and bad citizen everywhere in the world and we equally have our own share of that plus the government is not even helping matters, look at the Arabs they have oil and have used it to better their countries and their citizens,we have little of everything and nothing to show for it, i think we should address this much more than looking at people that has failed because their country has also failed and everyone is left to survive on their own with their family, We youth have also failed because we lack the courage to demand for our right.

This is ingenuity at its best.

igbos admire criminals? whats the logic in defending this dirty igbo thief

Another slowpoke

And its also amazing how a lot of us will quickly condemn people in abroad engaged in crimes when we have all our legislators and executive stealing everyday from the Treasury of our country i feel those are the real criminals but no we celebrate them,we praise and envy the children and they will also come out and call theirself creame de la cream of the society ,papers and magazine will carry their praises and all this at d detriment of giving us good governance but we'll rather crucify the common criminal who went caught can only pay for his/her crime without affecting me and you, BUT the bastard that has drained our economy get praise or even when allerged get no time because we run a failed system of government,institutional break down country,

the illterate can be taught, the diseased can be cured, hoewever an igbo will always be an igbo, an ignorant and crude bushman, tell your brothers crime does not pay and when you stop celebrating criminals in your villages maybe then opinions change

Thats y you are still backward, idiot

@namfav - ^{he is a criminal, but apparently its part of a culture to certain bush people to admire criminals}

A criminal is not worth celebrating. He/she can come from any part or ethnic group in the world but the fact that you are pointing fingers makes you so dull and clueless.

I don't think i have seen anybody so far supporting this young guy.

@Topic,
Impressive. But I think Emmanuel Nwude, Anajemba, et al, those cats that took the Brazillian banker for $180m or was it $240m, were tighter.
Nwude even bought a stake in Union Bank. Scammed his way to the board of a major Nigerian bank, now that was impressive.

That's right! He broke the bank, literarilly.

^ Dont forget Maurice Ibekwe who was also in the national assembly. I remember the good days of Victor Okafor (Ezeego) and Anajemba, Fred Ajudua, when people claimed those guys made money from rituals and blood money (Nigerians and superstition) because they were dying randomly. People were too daft to figure out that these guys were scammers and maybe their co-business men were eliminating them. See how these guys would just be spending money all over naija. These guys were legends when i was a kid, you would just see them all over newspapers with city people profiling their houses with glass chandeliers and 10+ bedroom mansions. Funny, I was so envious and wanted the same type of life they did not knowing what they did to get it.

Let us be honest (Nigerians glorify robbers- not just igbo). See how some of these scammers have nice chieftaincy titles

But here we are with many hailing his ilk as a genius.

Am however certain that had anyone of us here been scammed and in the process lost all our life savings and more, I doubt if
we will still be lionising these social psychopaths.

i don't know which nigerians you are refering to because in my culture thiefs are not celebrated

They should circulate clearer pictures of the guy so that if people see him, they can turn him in. $25k will go a long way for an honest person that is trying to make an honest living without these cretin's spoiling it for them. If our own people know this bad behavior is frowned upon, and that their own people will not sheild them they will stop! We need to start fighting back to redeem our name. I am disgusted by the praises for this guy here. He is not a genius, just a low life criminal. He kept getting caught and was addicted to the life. So what genius? Smoke the rat out make evrybody rest abeg.

U sure? Rich people are celebrated in Nigeria. Having money is the goal of most Nigerians. Its not about thieves per se but the fact that the only achievement in Nigeria we glorify is making money.

How many chieftaincy titles does chinua achebe have? How many do these scammers get?

Just like your people praise these terrorist and had Nigeria labeled a terrorist nation. Mehn you people have brought nothing but shame for Nigeria. At least the most famous Nigerian in the world is an Igbo man, by the name of Chinua Achebe. No one you northerners have, can even compete with that man. His name is the most recognized name of any African. So that speaks volumes.

I think it is disgusting to celebrate people like these thieves. They are the reason why Nigeria is so rich and yet so screwed up. There is enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed- (Ghandi)

The biggest thieves in Nigeria was done by Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani. What this young Igbo man was able to do is chump change compared to the money stole by Abacha and OBJ.

And at least the young man stole from oyibos who continue to rape Africa. Our "leaders" stole from their own people.

A thief, even if as smart as King Solomon, is not deserving of any honour, including having a film made about him. What message would you be passing to the young ones by the time you are making a film about a common thief. How many films have we done about our heroes dead or alive, people whose contributions to our part of the world have made life more comfortable or more understandable to us?

This is the problem I have with some of you ibos, a thief is a thief no matter what. If you catch a Yoruba man trying to rob you, I swear, I will join you in beating the daylight out of him.
ibos are not like that, all the thief have to say is nna, biko and he is no longer a thief, but your brother!

This man did not steal from his own people. He stole from the oyibos who continue to steal from Africa. You think I have any pity for them? No. These oyibos already do not give the black man any credit. They probably though he learned this nefarious act from an oyibo man.

achebe the most famous nigerian?   the most recognizable african name?   , get over yourself bush boy, he is not even the best writer in nigeria, let alone the whole africa, climb off your high horse bush boy

What difference does it make? Do you have any evidence he never stole from Nigerians. Stop making excuses for criminals a beg.

I have to agree. Seems people tend to absolve people from their crimes based on ethnic group. I am sure Ezeuche would not make the same excuse for yoruba 419-er. A thief is a thief whether he stole from his people or he stole from oyibo, you still hurt lives. The people that this young guy stole from, did it occur to you that he must have wrecked some people's lives?

People who have nothing to do with "African oppression" have had their children college funds and bank accounts wiped out because of 419 fraud. I have nearly gotten scammed at least twice by my "brothers" abroad. They no look skin color before they were sending me  emails that I have won $1 million dollars or that I should give money to some african prince. There is no justification for it.

What about Mrs Chidi recently arrested by the ministry for pilfering N1billion every month for the past 5 months or so. Is she Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani?
