Are you trying to say the Igbo people have been associated with crime since the 1950s...

That is 65 years ago. Somethings never change.

I bet you, out of that 17,000, Anambra share alone go be like 14,000.

Looking at this statistics made me cry,
No wonder Nigeria is not developed. The developers want to develop this country for past 70 years,yet u r not allowing them to develop u.

Appreciate Freedom

Number 3 shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
...in Tuface's voice: 'e don tey no be today'

The only tribe that go to another mans land to commit crimes in Nigeria are Ibo

You say they commit all manner of crimes. But they want to leave Nigeria and have a place of their own to finish themselves with crimes.

Yet you say NO, they won't leave.

lol
See lie.
Well,not all Ibos are criminals.My pals are not.

The so called crime: Resisting British rules in Igboland.

I wonder if they have this type of record-keeping in 2023

Talk about retrogression

What about the Yorubas out of the numbers 7,000 will be certificate forgers 😂😂

How did the Igbos welcome the colonial masters and what was the reaction of the colonial masters to the sort of welcome they received from the Igbos? Did any of those reactions include incarceration? Let's begin from there.

We can also have a conversation about how convenient the British found it to imprison any Igbo person at the slightest hint of a conflict without hearing them out, but let's keep that for another day. The numbers don't lie, so do the facts.

PS: Adults are supposed to be capable of complete thoughts, but if all adults were, there'd be fewer cases of idiots growing old too.

Men and crime are like 5 and 6.

APC Yoruba Moslems are funny.. but when the population of igbos in 1956 was shown here, they were arguing the figures, that it was incorrect, now they chose to believe the one of prisons... Lmao....I wonder what they serve you apc Yoruba Moslems

Igbo was more than half of the population of southern Nigeria.

They will not believe the population of igbos in the 50s and 60s, they will not believe that the eastern economy was the fastest growing economy in the world in the 60s buy they will believe the prison statistics of the 60s.


What a pathetic people

2023 demographics of Asian jails....Developers are 80%.

Nigerian jails - 95%

In fact United Nations has recommended their language be lingua franca of jails worldwide.

Raskimonojendor:

No. Things change. They had 61 % before. Now they are at 95%.

Wow see online obsession for igbos…Some Nairaland monikers have reduced themselves to online slaves to igbos …wailing in bitterness as a result of Tinubu using starvation to teach them politics

Men I have never laughed this hard since tinubu became president


Looking at the figures

But the SW has the most congested prisons in the country and SW has 90% yoruba majority.

Do the math.

Crime is in their DNA

Data speak volume and identify the criminals

The Igbos were republican and stubborn against colonialists, they were known to rebel against any man who tries to lord over them, unlike we feudal and monarchical yorubas who invited colonialists to invade our land.

Read the Aba women riot, read about the Ekumeku war (the longest war between the British and any African tribe), read about Igbo landing and read Achebe's Things fall apart.

Rebels are not usually liked by the white colonialists, so it is not unusual that they will make up the most of their prisoners.

Sorry to burst your bubble, my dear yoruba brother. Truth is bitter, but must be swallowed..

Back then they dominated local prisons but now they represent 80% of Nigerians in prison outside these shores

Criminality is cultural for them and they are taught dishonesty from infancy

Op share your source abi you day fear all these daft yellow bars sef
