she has a good chance at the 'Miss world' level.
she comes from the same town as Agbani Darego

pls stop hating Miss Nigeria is beautiful!
thats just not the best picture of her

afam4eva: Not even many. Rivers women that don't marry their fellow rivers men usually end up with Igbo men or Ibibio/Efik or those eastern Nigerian tribes. Infact, i don't think i've ever seen a rivers/Yoruba couple before that's why i told you to name one.

like i said In d past, Rivers women married mainly from Rivers n Iboland,
u hardly ever see a rivers female /Yoruba male couple back in the day but things are changing. .you might not think many but trust me yoruba guys n rivers women union is getting really common....
Maybe its yoruba men chasing rivers girls all the time or rivers girls marrying yoruba men because many yorubas in rivers state have money(oil workers) in Rivers state.

but u hardly ever see Rivers men/Yoruba female couplez tho

well known rivers women n yoruba men.. ..https://www.nairaland.com/478074/post-pictures-traditional-weddings/5#6387707

alj harem: Are you also going to marry a Yoruba man If you are available

afam4eva: Just name one and show me a link. Mind you, you said all rivers women. I think that an 1diotic statement to make. Don't let your mouth perform before your brain. Fi ara buruku bale.

no need 2 be rude. I meant many rivers women obviously not all.

afam4eva: Please can you name one rivers person you know that has married a Yoruba. I'm not saying there aren't but the bolded reeks of 1diotic genralization.

They are many Rivers women getting married to Yoruba men. No need to mention their names u wldnt know them

Yoruba men are taking over the east n south south ...Many yoruba men are getting married 2 Igbo, Rivers, Calabar women

In d past, Rivers women married mainly from Rivers n Igboland, but things have changed. all the rivers girls these days are getting married to yoruba men hmmm

stillwater: I'm the girl here, I'm more likely to interact and discuss with many Igbo girls. The girls who are bent on marrying an Igbo man mostly grew up in the East.

yea very true!


Apart from Igbo men, Igbo girls tend to marry Rivers men n the same for the men

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A Canadian man accused of masterminding one of the largest high-tech bank robberies in U.S. history was sentenced to nearly 18 years in prison Monday following a years-long investigation into fake debt collection agencies that prosecutors say stole the identities of about 38,000 people.

Adekunle Adetiloye was accused of organizing a scheme to open nearly 600 fraudulent bank accounts and bilk 22 major banks, potentially costing credit card firms and banks up to $5 million. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nick Chase in North Dakota, where the case was handled, said the 40-year-old had an "insatiable hunger for other people's money."

Defense attorneys had argued that their client, the only person charged in the case, was a "marginal and minimal participant" whose role was to handle mail and withdraw money from ATMs. But prosecutors and the judge believed he was central to the scheme.

Investigators said Adetiloye incorporated two different companies in Delaware - Syspac Financial Services and Commet Consultant Inc. - that claimed to be debt collection companies. He gained access to commercial data providers, including large-scale outfits LexisNexis and ChoicePoint that only allow access to law enforcement, financial services and debt collection companies.

With access to those data providers, Adetiloye and others obtained the personal identification information to about 38,000 people, most of whom were medical professionals, and used that information to open credit card, debit and checking accounts, prosecutors said.

Those data providers said it was only the second such breach of that scale.

"Characterizing this fraud scheme as massive, if anything, is an understatement," Chase said in court documents.

Investigators' interest in Adetiloye, a native of Nigeria, was piqued after figuring out he was unemployed and receiving welfare yet living lavishly, complete with a Range Rover vehicle, extended trips to England and an expensive condominium. Then there were two credit cards tucked away in his wallet the each bore different names - Donald Douglas and Vincent Andriole - that seemed to confirm suspicions that he was up to something nefarious.

The complexity of the scheme - which took five years to investigate and litigate - was highlighted in a sentencing phase that has lasted nearly a year and included numerous hearings and briefings, and some 12,000 pages of court documents. The case wound up in North Dakota after U.S. Bank's customer service center in Fargo intercepted calls by Adetiloye and others.

U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson handed down a 214-month prison term and scheduled a Feb. 15 hearing to discuss returning nearly $1.5 million in losses to credit card companies and banks. The judge has said losses may have been as much as $5 million.

Defense attorney Richard Henderson had asked for a sentence of fewer than 16 years for his client, who pleaded guilty to mail fraud charges. Henderson said any prison time is more difficult than it would be for American citizens because he has no family in the United States. No decision has been made about whether he plans to appeal, said Neil Fulton, lead federal public defender for North Dakota and South Dakota.

"The sentence imposed today should send a strong message to those who would seek to scam the citizens and businesses of North Dakota and the United States," U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon said in a statement released Monday. "We take the growing problem of foreign financial fraud seriously here and seeking justice for the victims of such crimes is a priority for our office."

Greg Krier, lead credit card fraud investigator for U.S. Bank, testified during the sentencing phase of the case that it was the most complex case he had ever seen. His company, which has its own fraud unit, launched special training sessions focusing on the case in hopes of catching the culprits.

The lead investigator, one of 25 people who worked on the case, put in 2,000 hours, authorities said.

Investigators initially said the operation accessed information of nearly 16,000 people, about 500 of whom had their identities stolen for the purpose of obtaining credit cards. It's alleged that more than 100 commercial mailboxes were opened under false or stolen identities.

But further investigation showed that the scheme actually accessed personal information to some 38,000 people. The government said Adetiloye went so far as to mask his handwriting after a judge ordered a test of his calligraphy.

Erickson, the federal judge, said in court documents ahead of the sentencing that the evidence "indisputably demonstrates" that Adetiloye was a leader or organizer of the scheme. The judge calculated losses to banks at about $1.5 million, but said it could have been as high as $5 million if credit limits had been maxed out.

The trauma cannot be measured, Erickson said.

"The non-monetary harm to the victims was substantial," the judge wrote. "They lost sleep, they lost time with their families, they lost time at work, and they lost their sense of security. Some victims spent hours trying to reclaim their credit record and their identities."

Court documents show that U.S. Bank suffered the most number of tainted accounts, at 130, for a total loss of about $76,000. The companies alleged to have lost the most money were Citibank, at about $271,000, and Discover, at about $248,000.

Brett Bogan, the security investigations manager at Reed Elsevier, the parent company of LexisNexis and ChoicePoint, told the court that data breaches of this type are extremely rare and knew of only one other case like it. He said the company sent out notices to more than 32,000 people whose personal information was compromised by the scheme.

"With their combined extensive and nationwide perspective, those entities place this fraud scheme at or near the top of their historical lists in terms of size and complexity," Chase said in court documents.
