Naming and shaming is one of the old methods that worked years ago because we had smaller societies and no one protected criminals. It’s a larger society now and various interests come into play. Still it may reduce the criminal tendencies of some people.

Right now we have a huge problem on our hands with our people running foul of the law all over the world. Lost values, an ineffective judicial system and greed are at the root of this misbehavior. Sadly all Nigerians will pay for the misdeeds of a few. We are all Nigerians as far as outsiders are concerned. Besides tribal analysis is irrelevant because there are criminals in every tribe.
Actually with social media boom naming and shaming will be a much stronger tool than it was decades back

Don't forget to remember that 23 Yorubas are awaiting execution in Saudi. I rather be a US prisoner than a Saudi prisoner. A living rat is better than a dead lion. I am even hearing that US prisons are better than Aso Rock. Hahahahahahaha!

Whatever the case, the 77 Igbo brothers must bear their cross by themselves, just like the 23 Yoruba brothers. After all, they did not give me a dime from their corruption booty. But one love; nothing spoil

What is the role of specific communities in propagating crime in Nigeria due to blatant glorification and exhibition of wealth? Here, I am going to be blunt - at least by half (since I am not calling out the particular states. At least not yet). At least two states in SE, two-three States in SS, and three States in SW come particularly to mind in this regard. Unbiased Nigerians can agree this culture of get-rich-quick is less apparent in Northern Nigeria. This, however, does not exonerate the North in any way. Kidnapping, extortion, murder, armed robbery and domestic terrorism are the forte of the North, more so than other parts of Nigeria. Agreed, some of these are also get-rich-quick signs, and even more. However, they come from a different twist than the South.
This one is BOMB OH!. But can anyone guess who the 3 states in SE, SW and SS are? I think I know them. They are those whose indigenes think they are smarter than othersgrin grin grin grin grin grin
CrimeIs Naming & Shaming To The Family Level A Solution To The Crime Culture In Nig? by Adelaide2(op):
Copied from Facebook, with permission. Not my opinion but I tend to generally support it.

Do you think naming and shaming crime perpetrators can curtail the crime culture in Nigeria? Have your say.

So, 80 individuals with Nigerian names were arrested or indicted for cyber crime by the FBI, and the "Nigerian world" is supposed to crumble? No way!! As an American with Nigerian heritage, I can never feel guilty for the crimes committed by other Nigerian-Americans (or residents), just like the American with European heritage does not feel guilty for the mass murder committed by another American of same heritage. I will feel guilty for a crime committed by me; and for that committed by a member of my family for which I either benefitted, or could have prevented. It smacks of inferiority syndrome to wallow in collective guilt, unless somehow one partook/benefitted in the crime. We know Nigeria's culture in its pristine form frowns at corruption and inordinate desire for filthy lucre. Unfortunately, somewhere few decades past, things went awry and that beautiful culture began eroding. Rather than wallow in guilt for crimes committed by other Nigerian-Americans (or any other Diasporan or home group), the good Nigerians should work for themselves to restore their culture back to that pristine point. A couple ideas to that end: 1. A campaign of unbiased name and shame. We need to know who the families and associates of all Nigerian crooks are, including their towns and villages. Many close relatives benefit from these crimes; in fact, some relatives goad their wards into this get-rich-quick mania. 2. Strategic property confiscation and disposal - seize all ill-gotten wealth. Don't destroy, but redistribute among the poor unrelated to the criminal. 3. A revolution in governance and citizenship. Both Nigerian leaders and followers alike are guilty of the culture erosion. These criminals end up becoming leaders. Thus, there must be accountability among leaders and followers alike. 4. A ban on public spraying of money. 5. Intense look into what religious leaders are doing in terms of sources of funds they display, and their role in this corruption culture. 6
If you are honest, stay away from folks who have no verifiable source of income. When they buy a drink for you with crime-derived money, they will rope you in when caught. Who wants to go down alone? 7. Massive investment and training in cyber technologies to nip these crooks in the bud. Any solutions to return Nigeria's culture of honest living have to be drastic; no sugarcoating anything. Are there advocates in Nigeria to take this task on?
What is the role of Nollywood movie industry in propagating crime culture in Nigeria?
What is the role of musicians (examples, I go chop your dollar; 30 billion for the akant ooh!) in propagating crime culture in Nigeria?

What is the role of Nigerians in Nigeria in the crime culture in terms of the pressure that Nigerians abroad are put to meet certain monetary demands back home?

What is the role of Nigerians abroad in propagating crime culture where they live, due to need to show off undeserved or unearned wealth to folks back home?

What is the role of religious leaders in propagating crime culture in Nigeria? Years ago, I was at a church service in Port Harcourt and during offering we were asked by the pastor to raise our hands and open our palms with our offerings so that God will see how much we were offering him. It turned out that everyone else was looking at what everyone else had in their open palm. That alone could cause a poor but impressionable person to steal money for next Sunday's offering in order to please the pastor/other congregants. I hear now that many churches are POS-enabled; so, they can take money from your account during service.

What is the role of government in not putting conditions in place to stem corruption?

What is the role of Buhari in the corruption culture, in terms of recycling leaders who have criminal cases with EFCC - example, Godswill Akpabio, now a Minister?

What is the role of ordinary citizens in voting in corrupt leaders into power? Example, Rochas Okorocha, Orji Kalu and T.A. Orji stole their states blind. All are now senators, voted in by citizens.

What is the role of law enforcement (Police, Customs etc) in being themselves blatantly corrupt and incapable of enforcing the laws? Example, somebody like Tinubu, arguably the most corrupt and crooked Nigerian ever, runs around with bullion vans corruuting the electoral process and being protected by the law enforcers.

What is the role of the Press in failing to ask the right questions and make the right demands of Nigerian leaders and followers?


What is the role of specific communities in propagating crime in Nigeria due to blatant glorification and exhibition of wealth? Here, I am going to be blunt - at least by half (since I am not calling out the particular states. At least not yet).

And yes, we need to start naming and shaming.

PoliticsThe Politics Of Exams - Look Who's Passing Exams In Naija by Adelaide2(op):
From a facebook post

The geographical pass trend depicted in the photo is historical (with slight adjustments every now and then among the top 5) dating back since the country's independence. See how those who have governed Nigeria the most are those who fail exams the most. Any wonder why nothing works?

While no one is really inherently dull 'upstairs', environmental conditions, mindset and preparation do matter. If you do not prepare to succeed, you're preparing to fail. By every known data, Northern Nigeria is preparing to fail. Unfortunately, it is dragging the entire country with it.

Osun and Oyo have become embarrassments. They now compete with the North. Ogun is 19th. Also quite unimpressive.

luxy44:
Ibos love to deceive themselves, feeling like they know how to do business. There type of business is the reason the economy is not growing, it is one of the reasons the naira keeps losing value. Trade can never be balanced with their type of business hence the perpetual loss in the value of naira. They import all the nonsense abroad because of their extreme love for money. If not for crude oil, they would have killed the naira totally. Hausa/Fulani aint lazy, they are farmers , not even peasant farmers like your folks, they are mechanized farmers. 80% of all the cash crops that are being exported out of Nigeria are found there, 80% of the mineral resources too. They are not interested in the media. They face their business and do it well. Do you know the number of trucks of cattle, yams, onions, ginger, etc that get to Lagos per day. I am sure no. Asari and uninformed southerners are not aware. Farming; crop and livestock is a legacy that can be passed to the next generation. Owning of shops to sell battered metals (spare parts) and second hand clothes aint a legacy and will die naturally as Nigeria develops. Don't get carried away with your unstructured businesses.....

They keep saying they have businesses abroad, i live in Europe, i don't know where the businesses are here. Yea they travel to China for substandard commodities and bring them to Nigeria to sell. What is igbo man business in Malaysia?? Lol

somegirl1:
I read the silly comments about SE's IGR with amusement; Nigerians are on average too unintelligent to evaluate factors that have an impact on IGR or to evaluate anything at all. In the absence of data relating to political and economic factors, demographics etc for each region and assuming a uniform distribution of tax eligible jobs and businesses, doing the basic math based on population would reveal that SE generated the 3rd highest revenue per person after SS and SW or 2nd highest after SS if Lagos was excluded from the SW's computation.

NC
Population - 20,368,918,
IGR - 378.7b
Per person - 18,592.95

NE
Population - 18,984,299
IGR - 351b
Per person - 18,515.30

NW
Population - 35,915,467
IGR - 546.5
Per person - 15,216.29

SE
Population - 16,395,555
IGR - 340.1b
Per person - 20,743. 43

SS
Population - 20,320,869
IGR - 1102b
Per person - 54,229.86

SW
Population - 27,722,432
IGR - 877.8b
Per person - 31,663. 89

Population (excluding Lagos) - 18,608,827
IGR (excluding Lagos) - 376.6b
Per person - 20,237.71

Clearly the SE isn't the least productive region.

It's actually the most productive. No doubt

Unfortunately you got it all twisted. It's not about population but about productivity. Switzerland population is far lesser than Nigeria with higher population. Hope you now get what I am saying.
What type of productivity are you talking about? Are you suggesting that other zones are more productive than SE? That would be a big fat lie. IGR is directly linked to population. You cannot levy on one person two person's taxes - it's always one man one tax. Therefore, SE will always be lower in IGR, given its lower population. Hey don't forget that SE is not the parasite in chief in Nigeria. They receive the lowest monthly allocation from the federal government based on lowest population. In life you cannot eat your cake and have it. You cannot give SE lowest allocation based on population and expect higher IGR based on same population. Does it make any sense to you now?

The entire GDP of Switzerland ($678.89 billion) is greater than that of Nigeria ($375.77 billion); so don't even go there. Nigeria is how many times bigger than Switzerland in population?

Lol Mumu! Every region is a parasite to Nigeria. What is the monthly allocation to states in Nigeria? SE get's the lowest monthly allocation consistently over the last decades, which means it is actually the less parasitic region to Nigeria. North West and South West get the highest. They are therefore, the true parasites.
