Any that wants to downplay this is doing so from the standpoint of pure, undiluted Jelousy, like Riley will say,
"you are just mad cos u didn't think of it first"

Ranoscky:

Dumb criminal ? ? ? . . . .WONDERFUL !!!

This is where you made your almighty believable FBI look 'cheap and silly' in searching for a "Dumb" criminal for more than 4yrs, when the so called under-rated NPF can track down a non-dumb criminal in less than a month!

Wake up girl.
Lolz.
TOTO NA TOTO abeg, forget story jare!

mama-gee:

Are you Tobechi or his family relative or something?

Whether you believe it or not he's dumb, the FBI are having a problem catching up with his dumb butt because[b] he's a Nigerian immigrant and from a village such as Abia which makes it highly unlikely he'll be caught.[/b]

But, let truth be told, he's just very lucky to have left the U.S. soil before his evil schemes was exposed, his american accomplices have been caught and are all in jail right now except him

This days, it's really hard to catch up with a criminal who is foreigner especially one from west africa but one thing is for sure if the FBI catches him or not, he'll pay for his deviant acts one way or another.

Whats wrong with that?

These are not Naija puccys, we are talking about international puccies here.

I dont mind paying 100000 dools for those puccies

My guy, if you sef see one of those puccies, you go fear.

he is an american as he was born there and has an american passport.

mama-gee:

Nope!

He wasn't born in america, he only immigrated to america.

If he was born in american, he wouldn't have been known as an immigrant to the authorities.

How Tobechi Onwuhara Masterminded $44 Million Bank Fraud in America , Born in Houston, Onwuhara was sent to live with his wealthy father in Nigeria . ,

FBI agents say Onwuhara was born in Houston and sent to live with his father

His father, Doris, was an
entrepreneur, one of the first
people in Nigeria to import satellite TVs. He built the first major hotel in Abia's capital, Umuahia. Visitors came from miles away to dance in the hotel's nightclub. As Umuahia expanded and land values appreciated, so did Doris's influence. He moved into politics, held office, and managed a successful campaign for a governor of Abia.

Onwuhara's mother, Katherine, was equally accomplished. A lawyer and literary critic, she served as chairwoman of Abia's board of education. The four daughters she had with Doris would go on to be nurses and ministers. But her fifth child, her only son, would be different. He would be American. Katherine was five months pregnant with Tobechi when she left Nigeria to attend school in Houston. "Tobe" was born there in 1979. Katherine returned to Nigeria when Tobe was still a boy, leaving him with an uncle in Houston.

I'm convinced that some people must have failed English comprehension woefully in school. And yet they argue so blindly.

Is mama gee a robot?

Aigbofa:

Weren't you here a while ago, also defending another ibo criminal who "miraculously" found an oil well inside his factory? I bet that one was also a genius.

How much brain power do you need to pull off a scam if you had worked in a bank ( as a loan officer ) and know how the system worked?
All you need is a criminal mind, and that is never in short supply in Nigeria.

In it, Onwuhara does a pitch-perfect impersonation of a middle-aged white doctor calling in a prescription to a CVS (CVS, Fortune 500) pharmacy. The prescription was for Valtrex, a herpes medication. The patient was Tobe Onwuhara. At last, investigators had a name. They pulled a Texas DMV photo of Onwuhara. It matched the image of the man in the hoodie from the Verizon video.

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.

Bobajo:

On what basis has EzeUche made this assertion. The last time i checked, it was Wole Soyinka who won the Nobel Prize. What exactly has Chinua Achebe done to make him the most famous Nigerian (writing Things Fall Apart), or being an economic/political refuge in the US all these years. Please dont write nonsense in the quest to defend a tribal positions. 'Facts milord, Facts, or forever keep your peace'.

MandingoII:





He got the vapors

Bobajo:

So indulge us. State side by side the works they have done. State the statistics, the academic papers you culled this assertion from. Don't for the love of Uncle Ezeuche make such a general statement. You have to convince me (us) with the facts, otherwise you are just blowing hot air.

EzeUche_:

. Chinua Achebe is Africa's most well known author.

EzeUche_:


Things Fall Apart is the most widely known book of African origin that has been translated in hundreds of language. Do research before you make ignorant statements. And enough with the hate. Chinua Achebe is Africa's most well known author. No one can deny this. His book is even taught in the oyibo curriculum.

fstranger1:

So what!

That said, i was in a local library is the middle of America where only the Whitest of the Whitest of the Whites live, and I was shocked to see Things fall Apart on the shelf in the local library. And, to add to my state of bewilderment, I saw too Oyinbos reading it and completely enthralled by it.

I was a little surprised, some-what proud, but innately wished it was Soyinka's book, and not Achebe's, with such global appeal and acceptance.

bk.babe97y:

. . . . and you noticed cause u Nigerian!

Would you have noticed if they were reading, say, Diop's "Antériorité Des Civilisations Nègres", or Mahfouz's "The Cairo Trilogy"?

No? But a Senegalese or Egyptian probably would, right?

Exactly! Man, these freaking Ibo chest beaters kill me!

EzeUche_:


He is not known as an Igbo man though, he is known as a Nigerian.

EzeUche_:

Chinua Achebe is in a league of his own. His novel was the FIRST novel, to look from an AFRICAN perspective. And it was answer to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. A novel in which I was forced to read to read as well.

Achebe paved the way for thousands of AFRICAN authors.

And BTW, Cheikh Anta Diop is someone who I admire as well. He does not get the recognition he deserves.

fstranger1:

Are you serious?

I thought that honor went to Amos Tutuola?  Care to elucidate?

Anyway, have you seen the list of the best 100 African books?

Amos Tutuola was not the first African novelist in the English language - according to how you define a novel, that honour probably belongs to a Gold Coast writer called R.E. Obeng for Eighteenpence (1941) - but he was certainly the first to attract international attention
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-amos-tutuola-1256304.html

Perhaps Amos Tutuola's most significant and valuable contribution
to modern African literature is that he is responsible for focusing
the eyes of the English-speaking world on the new body of literature
emerging from Africa. Tutuola's first book, The Palm-Wine Drinkard
(Faber and Faber, 1952) marks the beginning of a literature that is
both uniquely African and that has literary merit. The Palm-Wine
Drinkard,was the first African work to receive great critical attention,
especially in England, and was such a unique work of art that
Western critics began to look for further efforts from Tutuola and
at her modern African writers. Unfortunately, there was also a great
deal of confusion and misinterpretation that went along with Tutuola's
introduction into the non-African world, for some early critics saw
his language as the beginning of a neo-African English, which it
clearly is not.
