If you allow women(bad women) determine the ideal man you will be, you are lost. As a decent and moral human being you must have the conscience to distinguish from bad and good women. Ladies that make bad decisions in their lives cannot set good standard for you, unless you want to make bad decisions too.

If your ideal is just to have sex and live an irresponsible life then by all means emulate thugs. If you want to be responsible and intelligent person then think again!!!

ubunja:

The multitudes of girls losing their virginity to bad boys and becoming baby mamas to thugs will beg to differ.


You don't get it do you?? You don't determine what an ideal man is, women do. Just like women don't determine what an ideal woman is, men do.

Believe all you want but the type of man you describe here as ideal, women only choose him for retirement, with 2 kids from different daddies. Good men finish last with women. That should tell you something.

OP Ubunja's post is the red pill (subreddit that has been banned). Is just a copy pasta. Is actually for adolescent men that have reached sexual maturity but not psychological maturity. Is the partial truth and not the whole truth. You can read to have an insight in psychology of the game.

An ideal man is a man that is positive to his wife, to his children and to society. A man that is attractive to women but still remains with one woman. A man that is courageous and not timid or naive. A man that has the capacity for danger but still remains civilized. That is a man that can protect himself, his family and his society. A man that has his eyes open, that is a man with high self-consciousness and awareness.

dapo456:
I saw a guy ranting about Ubunja and how his post messed him up so I decided to check up on the guys topics, I picked the "imprint" after 20mins I was considering marrying a virgin which is almost impossible. So I quickly closed the page. I can't imagine reading the complete write up, i was just on paragraph two...lol, i know i will be completely messed up at the end. Now i understand why one guy is complaining about ubunja... Please i'll advice you not to start reading that guy's posts ooo. Its better you remain blind and be happy, the truth will mess you up believe me.

To discourage smuggling we are going to close our borders. This country is a joke that write itself.

So you are leaving no option but smuggling in an anti-smuggling effort. The importation of rice from another country is not smuggling. You can label and outlaw it, if you want to. But it is not. Food is not and will never be contraband. Wicked people.

My mood all this week

NNPC Please now!!!

Vested Interest.

GospelEAPiano:
I knew someone who had been against this government, even right from the inception, but since he came back from the interview, he would quarrel anybody that talks against 'his' president.
On a good day, he would speak against the judgment yesterday, you need to see how happy he was.
I hope he won't read this ooo...
I no mention name ooo, make him no go lock my piano

That will be my worst nightmare.

pflourish:
Just imagine APL coming in batches just like the TP fare alerts. It won't be a funny one though

Easymoneysniper has missed his shot. To all of us with renewable energy we shall go again for the next target. I am fully aware that this is just a public forum. It seems like NNPC have kept this process sealed. It gives me hope and despair at the same time. Everything shall come to pass.

Hold on mates, one day at a time. We shall be there by God's grace.

They do sound alot like dooms day cult. Another fact is the arrogance. They believe that humans have the capacity and knowledge to control something as complex as climate. We can predict hurricanes for example but our best bet is to move out of the way. That is why I focus on the prediction aspect more. I want them to develop a climate model that can help us anticipate these natural disasters they continue to spew.

Flosmythbert:


The Climate Change Brigade is a cult. The same cult that changed their mantra from global warming to climate change after being thoroughly exposed. The same cult that swore on their collective graves that all glaciers would have melted and all coastal cities submerged by 2014. The cult is an agenda driven scam. The biggest problem we have on this planet is all the plastic we keep pumping into the oceans, and China is the ring leader in that regard.

Yes. But current theory goes: Increase in emission of CO2 from use of fossil fuels is specifically driving climate change at a very fast rate. And that is indisputable. Some are even talking about methane from cows (side note: methanogenesis is one of the amazing things that I have read. Is like a billion or more year old. Is believed to be among the early metabolic pathways in living organism.
My opinion is simple. CO2 emissions need to be curbed irrespective of the climate(not through a ban or prohibition). Technological advancement towards an energy source that is more efficient than fossil fuels is an overall progress.

BenFlash:


"All smokers are liable to die young" did not stop Fela from smoking his 12 inches long weed. So what's your point sir?

Climate change is evidently affecting the world; for the fact that humans have not been able to predict exact increment level or timeframes does not negate that fact.

About rising sea levels at the equator, is there an accurate prediction of increment of the level and time-frames? Is there any map of the region that will be submerged? They are building Eko Atlantic City in Lagos now and other artificial extensions into the coastal regions like Palm islands in Dubai, what is wrong with them? Sinking billions of dollars in something that will submerged in maybe a century?

ofelix15:

Climate change has both negative and positive effects depending on how it affects a nation or group of individuals economical.
A perfect case scenario is Russia which have seen climate change as a blessing because of the opening of the Arctic trading sea route. Russia is very please with climate change because they have more to benefit than lose financially.
Countries against climate change are mostly those at the equator or close to the equator, they are opposing because of the rising sea level.

No. That is not summary. I am skeptical of climate change especially man-made climate change and a strong supporter of sustainability for economic reasons.

4gunners:

In summary, you believe climatic change is an hoax just like Mr Trump.

By the way, who knows our president stand on climatic change.

Good morning local men and women. It's APL DAY. Hurray!!!!

1. Your point about CO2 makes the issue more complicated than the way I presented it. That is exactly my worries too. Climate is a very complex system and at the same time a very sensitive system too. As humans we are right to worry about emissions of CO2 at the scale it occurs today. But our worries should not be gripped by anxieties, that it hinders skepticism.

2. All I am asking those experts is for their models and theories to make accurate predictions and confirmations. I don't like their post-facto hypothesis.Slight variations in climate from year to year or decade to decade has always existed on these earth.
3. Because of the complex nature of the climate I always favour predicting it's pattern over trying to control it's pattern. This is because I believe adaptation is usually easier and more inconsequential to the overall planet than control. That is why I strongly support sustainability. In the matters of complex system interventions are infinitely more likely to make things worser than better.
4. The more I read about the climate change, the more i want to read about it. I end up with more fears than conclusions. Because, I can imagine catastrophe better now. Is all I keep doing.

DanXplore:


True.

I don't understand what you mean by the bolded, care to explain? Is CO2 the only factor responsible for plant growth and health? One could argue that the increment in CO2 levels would result in more reflection of terrestrial radiation to the earth, consequently raising its temperature (global warming), and therefore increasing the likelihood of fires especially in the tropics. Secondly, if there is a corresponding increase in vegetation from increased CO2, then this could also correspond to increase in O2 (that supports combustion) because plants release O2 also via photosynthesis. More also, an increase in vegetation lush appears to translate to more fuel for fire during the dry seasons. An increase in potential for all the 3 parameters of the fire triangle to cause more fires could be adduced from these scenarios.

The premise of the suffocating effect of CO2 as used to support your argument (albeit implicitly) seems to be flawed from my point of view because I don't see how a CO2 of 0.04% by mass in the earth would prevail over the corresponding 21% oxygen to the point of minimising the incidence of fires in the biosphere.

Except you've got sufficient and objective data to simulate these scenarios, one could only speculate but not say with certainty as you have, what the combined effect of these variables would be.
These individual processes have so much uncertainties in them to determine if they could balance each other out. The best one could attempt to do is to estimate the net effect of these two opposing processes but then all other ecological would suffice.

LMAO. Some theoretical physicists think these are just educated speculations, conspiracies and/or vendetta against oil guys.

6. Climate change hysteria and attribution of disasters to climate change reminds alot of superstitious belief where natural disasters are attributed to evil of mankind. It just feels that way to me.
7. I am stronger supporter of sustainability because of economics. That is, I believe that we have finite resources on Earth hence we should strive towards a model that utilize our scarce resources efficiently. The key for me is the free market system. It is best system we have developed as humans for the allocation of economic value in our lives.
8. The pursuit for technological development and better theories is among our keys for having a better relationship with our environment. The bottleneck for solar power and wind is battery power(Highly inefficient). This because they have variable outputs depending on natural causes. At the extreme of both the north and south hemisphere, solar is basically useless.


Nuclear power is relatively safe and the probability of accidents have been greatly mitigated even as at now. But however small a likelihood of accident is, an accident could still occur and the effects are just so bad that they could transcend through generations. Also, people are worried about the various political and military applications.

Thank you sir. What are the exact predictions of it's consequences? A very good scientific model should make good predictions.

moogoogaipan:
Having studied Envtl. Health & Mgt. for 7yrs & 3yrs practice in the field of environment, i can tell you for a fact that climate change is real, though overflogged but then you cannot deny it, AAMOF, No one should deny it cos it's visible to the blind & audible to the deaf.

I read about Climate change from NASA's website. I came up with more questions than answers sir.
1. Anybody with knowledge of meteorology knows that predicting climate over the short time is not an easy thing talk less of trends. Based on the factors mentioned by NASA's website I am not convinced?
2. I saw a graph with a spike in the CO2 levels in the 1950s, I am not an expert but that spike is not enough to explain a drastic climate change. Remember a single variable cannot shift climate. Everything is in balance
3. Increase in CO2 (CO2 even though greenhouse gas actually suffocates fires) will not cause more wild fires but a spike in vegetation growth. Increase concentration of Oxygen however is far more likely to account for more Forest fires.
4. The fact about melting glaciers and high snowfall in record numbers is more of a balance in my opinion than contradiction.
5. The tilt in the axis of our earth as it's orbits the sun is far much more of a risk than CO2 to our climate. So far that is not predictable. A methodology to predict that is of utmost importance.
6. Climate change hysteria and attribution of disasters to climate change reminds alot of superstitious belief where natural disasters are attributed to evil of mankind. It just feels that way to me.
7. I am stronger supporter of sustainability because of economics. That is, I believe that we have finite resources on Earth hence we should strive towards a model that utilize our scarce resources efficiently. The key for me is the free market system. It is best system we have developed as humans for the allocation of economic value in our lives.
8. The pursuit for technological development and better theories is among our keys for having a better relationship with our environment. The bottleneck for solar power and wind is battery power(Highly inefficient). This because they have variable outputs depending on natural causes. At the extreme of both the north and south hemisphere, solar is basically useless.
9. I still believe the key is in nuclear power. Developing nuclear power to be safer, smaller and acceptable might be the future.

Lecture Title- THE TRUTH ABOUT BIG OIL AND CLIMATE CHANGE

In America, the world’s largest economy and its second biggest polluter, climate change is becoming hard to ignore. Extreme weather has grown more frequent. In November wildfires scorched California; last week Chicago was colder than parts of Mars.Scientists are sounding the alarm more urgently and people have noticed—73% of Americans polled by Yale University late last year said that climate change is real.

The left of the Democratic Party wants to put a “Green New Deal” at the heart of the election in 2020.
As expectations shift, the private sector is showing signs of adapting. Last year around 20 coal mines shut. Fund managers are prodding firms to become greener. Warren Buffett, no sucker for fads, is staking $30bn on clean energy and Elon Musk plans to fill America’s highways with electric cars.

Yet amid the clamour is a single, jarring truth. Demand for oil is rising and the energy industry, in America and globally, is planning multi-trillion-dollar investments to satisfy it. No firm embodies this strategy better than ExxonMobil, the giant that rivals admire and green activists love to hate. As our briefing explains, it plans to pump 25% more oil and gas in 2025 than in 2017. If the rest of the industry pursues even modest growth, the consequence for the climate could be disastrous.

ExxonMobil shows that the market cannot solve climate change by itself. Muscular government action is needed. Contrary to the fears of many Republicans (and hopes of some Democrats), that need not involve a bloated role for the state.

For much of the 20th century, the five oil majors—Chevron, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, bp and Total—had more clout than some small countries. Although the majors’ power has waned, they still account for 10% of global oil and gas output and 16% of upstream investment. They set the tone for smaller, privately owned energy firms (which control another quarter of investment). And millions of pensioners and other savers rely on their profits. Of the 20 firms paying the biggest dividends in Europe and America, four are majors.

In 2000 bp promised to go “beyond petroleum” and, on the face of it, the majors have indeed changed. All say that they support the Paris agreement to limit climate change and all are investing in renewables such as solar. Shell recently said that it would curb emissions from its products. Yet ultimately you should judge companies by what they do, not what they say.

According to ExxonMobil, global oil and gas demand will rise by 13% by 2030. All of the majors, not just ExxonMobil, are expected to expand their output. Far from mothballing all their gasfields and gushers, the industry is investing in upstream projects from Texan shale to high-tech deep-water wells. Oil companies, directly and through trade groups, lobby against measures that would limit emissions. The trouble is that, according to an assessment by the ipcc, an intergovernmental climate-science body, oil and gas production needs to fall by about 20% by 2030 and by about 55% by 2050, in order to stop the Earth’s temperature rising by more than 1.5°C above its pre-industrial level.
It would be wrong to conclude that the energy firms must therefore be evil.

They are responding to incentives set by society. The financial returns from oil are higher than those from renewables. For now, worldwide demand for oil is growing by 1-2% a year, similar to the average over the past five decades—and the typical major derives a minority of its stockmarket value from profits it will make after 2030.

However much the majors are vilified by climate warriors, many of whom drive cars and take planes, it is not just legal for them to maximise profits, it is also a requirement that shareholders can enforce.

Some hope that the oil companies will gradually head in a new direction, but that looks optimistic. It would be rash to rely on brilliant innovations to save the day.
Global investment in renewables, at $300bn a year, is dwarfed by what is being committed to fossil fuels. Even in the car industry, where scores of electric models are being launched, around 85% of vehicles are still expected to use internal-combustion engines in 2030.

So, too, the boom in ethical investing. Funds with $32trn of assets have joined to put pressure on the world’s biggest emitters. Fund managers, facing a collapse in their traditional business, are glad to sell green products which, helpfully, come with higher fees. But few big investment groups have dumped the shares of big energy firms.

Despite much publicity, oil companies’ recent commitments to green investors remain modest. And do not expect much from the courts. Lawyers are bringing waves of actions accusing oil firms of everything from misleading the public to being liable for rising sea levels. Some think oil firms will suffer the same fate as tobacco firms, which faced huge settlements in the 1990s. They forget that big tobacco is still in business. In June a federal judge in California ruled that climate change was a matter for Congress and diplomacy, not judges.

The next 15 years will be critical for climate change. If innovators, investors, the courts and corporate self-interest cannot curb fossil fuels, then the burden must fall on the political system.

In 2017 America said it would withdraw from the Paris agreement and the Trump administration has tried to resurrect the coal industry. Even so, climate could yet enter the political mainstream and win cross-party appeal. Polls suggest that moderate and younger Republicans care. A recent pledge by dozens of prominent economists spanned the partisan divide.

The key will be to show centrist voters that cutting emissions is practical and will not leave them much worse off. Although the Democrats’ emerging Green New Deal raises awareness, it almost certainly fails this test as it is based on a massive expansion of government spending and central planning.

The best policy, in America and beyond, is to tax carbon emissions, which ExxonMobil backs. The
gilets jaunes in France show how hard that will be. Work will be needed on designing policies that can command popular support by giving the cash raised back to the public in the form of offsetting tax cuts. The fossil-fuel industry would get smaller, government would not get bigger and businesses would be free to adapt as they see fit—including, even, ExxonMobil.

PS: This isn't my handwriting. initially, I thought it was a joke or something lol..I have no idea what to write as I'm frying some personal beans rn, so I decided to share this beautiful article I read on "the Economist" sometimes ago. it's a lecture anyway it shouldn't be restricted to Nigeria alone. I hope y'all enjoy it too.

As I have said it before, what a wild ride!!! It seems we like we are very close to the climax. For me I just want to remark on the process. For a parastatal of FG, the entire recruitment was very orderly and well organized. There were some hitches, but the attitude of the staffs and personnel in both the CBT centers and the Towers was commendable. It was reflection of professionalism and authenticity of the staff and process respectively.

Local men and women I believe an example and standard has been set. I hope other government agencies, boards, parastatal, civil service, e.t.c will follow such examples. Because meritocracy WORKS and nepotism always fails no matter how long it takes to manifest. There is no substitute for competency and responsibility in this world, any culture that values these two shall prosper. The blessing to realize the value of responsibility and competency is the blessing to be chosen by God.

More Love to my local men and women here. You made me addicted to this thread (if I get APL, I hope it doesn't disqualify my medicals). Please continue to share if nothing happens tomorrow( RIP @easymoneysniper, I know they will come for your head). Please share & share. As enjoyed this thread with you guys so I hope to enjoy the atmosphere at NNPC too by God's grace.

Long live AOLMAW!!!!!

Rest in Peace Mugabe. At the time of your demise I will take my time to reflect on leaders like you. Leaders that are posers, that care more about appearance than effectiveness. Strong men that only have the strength to destroy but never a strength to build anything. Moral men, under whom regime corruption and bigotry is legitimate. Defenders of ordinary people, who share their sentiment and also ensure that they remain ordinary or in most cases worse. Men that are fearless, except against ideas and opinions they don't agree with.

All I hope is that we Africans read your history thoroughly (not the legends perpetrated by propaganda) and learn from these mistakes.

Ahhhh. Just like that. Is it artificial insemination or something?

jaiye4love:
@ladyjane5657, please are you single and beautiful? Abeg I wan start they look for someone to put belle as APL dey drop next week..preparation mood activated...meet you on top of the NNPC towers...

To all the people that have sauces please continue posting. Please don't mind people that complain. You are only relaying information you know. This not an Official NNPC page but a public forum for voluntary participants.

Some of the sauces are sweet, some peppery, some salty, some bitter, some umami. It is a buffet, serve yourself what you can chop or mix it to your taste. For me I am enjoying it. To much sauce, to much juice....

Human beings have always wandered and settle somewhere. Whether is intra-continental or inter-continental. When the Dutch settled at the southern Africa, it was a no man's land. Remember the concept of a nation state not kingdoms or hermits is relatively modern idea. Have you seen the size of South Africa? There was no kingdom of that size before Advent of colonialism in Africa at that location.

liberalchick:
You have to be kidding, but I am going to play.

Indigenous, a native originating from a place. The Dutch, INDIGENOUS to Europe, came to South Africa and SETTLED there. Even the Spaniards that settled in the Americas way before the Dutch did in SA, everyone knows they are NOT indigenous to America. Indigenous Americans are called Natives.

The Fula people are highly nomadic they settled in West and Central Africa. No one knows where they originate from. Are they indigenous to present day Nigeria? NO!

Your comparison though? So you want to compare African tribes that migrated in the BCs to a whole other race from another continent that took ships to settle/subjugate another race in another continent?

May his soul rest in peace. Was he the tallest one in the amphitheatre?

Ladyjane5657:
OMG!!!!!!!! curiosity took the better part of me...and I went digging for the details of the late Nnpc staff!

Omg!!!! I never knew he was the one! This guy was joking with his colleague concerning our account numbers... The other volunteered to borrow us his account number in case anyone didn't have and he was telling us not to listen to small thieves! We all laughed.... (5th 7A.M batch ,don't know if anyone remembers?)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh this world is nothing! Such a healthy and vibrant young man... Who would have believed Kaiiiii this is toooooooooooooo sad!!!

Rip sir.... Mr Aye Bawari ...may God console those u left behind...

What makes someone indigenous? By your Logic Fulani are not indigenous to Nigeria.

liberalchick:
Settlers from Europe? Yes. Indigenous? No.

The Afrikaans. They are natives. There ancestors build that nation from the scratch. There were not colonialists. They were settlers.

liberalchick:
I agree with your sentiment, I think people should fight for what is right wether it benefits them or not. However, I crossed out the “white indigenous South Africans” because those does not exist.

I am not Igbo, neither do I live in Lagos.

I hope you have the same view when Yorubas start shouting Igbos must leave Lagos. Cause that sentiment is strong too now. [quote author=liberalchick post=81891044][/quote]

I hope you will have the same view when yorubas start protesting Lagos is not for Igbos. Because that sentiment is strong too now. [quote author=liberalchick post=81891044][/quote]

This a classic they "They came for the bla bla but I didn't care because I was not bla bla......... Finally when they came for me, there was no one left to defend me."

They first came for the White Indigenous South Africans and every body shrugged. Now they are coming for other Africans.

Economic grievance whether in South Africa, within Nigeria, is never a justification for violence against a certain nationality or ethnic group. Period!!!!!

If you want to hold the south African people responsible, you need to hold the government accountable. There is a clear difference between private enterprises and Government institution. Protest at the SA Embassy not businesses.

Unless you have another malicious intent at heart.

First time post on this thread. The emotional rollercoaster I experience reading this thread is just unbearable. I hope it ends with a climax though. Good luck to all of us. Bless your hearts for the updates, debates, banters, trolls, confessions, visions, jokes, proverbs, insults and compliments. Such a wild ride!!!

Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo.
Alhaji= Pilgrim
Mujahid= Striver or fighter in Allah's cause.
So just take a seat. Asari Dokubo is not on your side. Idiot!!!

stefanbanach:
Go and sit down.

The north has waged an economic war against the southerners who they refer to as infidels.

That is what jihad is, an eternal war against the kafirs. To constantly pressure them until they accept Islam and prophet Mohammed as the one true prophet. You cannot come and preach peace to us when the north holds such poisonous evil ideology. Nigeria can never be one because Islamic doctrine divides humanity into two. The muslims and the inferiors(kafirs). There is division already even without we disliking ourselves physically.

I have read the quran and the hadith and I can tell you that the problem of Nigeria is the north and their obsession to subduing the south and converting them to Islam.

Islam is cancer to humanity.

Thank you!

Toh. If you like listen. If you don't like, no listen. That is the truth. Own up your hardship and your struggles. Never let anyone represent your misfortune in life and turn them into his fortune.
Jesus died on the cross to redeem all of us from the original sin. He didn't build a palace, he didn't build private universities, he didn't gather tithes and donations, he didn't let any of his disciples die for his cause. He beared the Cross himself.

So bear your cross and not just wear it. You shall be redeemed.

Whew!

All these frausters should give the masses some rest abeg

Today is government that's scamming the people
Next is Police
Next is Yahoo boys
Next is fake people's activists/freedom fighters

No true People's generals in Nigeria
Don't be deceived
Everyone of them is fighting to personally acquire power and resources control

The beautiful ones are not yet born.

Don't be bamboozled by alarmist. Know your facts.
1. The oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere happened long before plants evolve.
2. The Ocean is the Earth's lung.
3. Forest fires even though ugly are sometimes natural and beneficial to forests. (Not every natural disaster is a calamity. E.g A volcanic eruption is very dangerous but that is how land is formed)
4. If the wildfire is threatening human life and settlement, it should be quenched.
5. The Amazon is not under any significant threat. Our Forest in Nigeria are more threaten than the Amazon.

You have spoken the truth my brother. They say "Grievance dulls the conscience". That is absolutely true. The Igbo problem is similar to the Black American problem in the U.S. A ghetto culture that glorifies thuggery and hustle(scam and fraud) but blames it's problems on racism and marginalization. While if you look at their history, their grandparents that experienced real slavery and prejudice outperformed them in all essential statistics.

I am somebody that is proud and celebrate the industriousness and the intelligence of the Igbos. I think they are highly self-reliant and strongly individualistic culture. That is why they easily integrate and perform well in the U.S where entrepreneurial spirit is valued.

MetaPhysical:


In the heat of the lynching of Igbo citizens in Asia in 2013 over alleged criminality, I wrote an essay entitled, ‘The Igbo fallacy’. In it, I appealed to the Igbo to de-emphasise the culture of profligacy, decadent opulence and vanity which fuels the pursuit of crime by their own. I also suggested the need for value re-orientation – a task that must be actuated by all groups – the age grades, unions and traditional institutions.

Really, it is enervating for me that my kinsmen are taking the inglorious front row in “money crimes’’ – drug peddling and internet fraud – abroad.
In August 2016, an Igbo drug dealer was guillotined in Indonesia. But his funeral in Anambra was a rambunctious shin-dig. He was even described as a “hero” by his people.

I have skimmed through the list of alleged online fraudsters indicted by the FBI, in what is regarded as the biggest scam bust in US history, and I could see familiar names. It is heartbreaking for me. The refrain that criticising your own people for shortcomings is an act of sanctimony is obtuse. Crime has no ethnic face, but does that imply condoning or rationalising a persistent ill?

I have said it before, we have a problem. The Igbo have a problem. Out of the 21 Nigerians on death-row for drug peddling in Indonesia, 20 are Igbo – from my state – Anambra. Personally, I feel violated by this.
A few months ago, some armed robbers of Igbo origin launched an attack on a bureau de change in Dubai, but they were arrested. It is painful, instead of exporting the durable products of Aba, we are exporting crime and violence. That Nigerians are a pariah in South Africa is partly due to the activities of some Igbo drug cartel.

But what happens when these drug gangs return to the south-east? A bazaar of bloodshed. A few years ago, there was a massacre at a church in Ozubulu, Anambra. The killings were linked to a drug war between rival gangs in South Africa. The gangs took their battle out of the turf to native soil. Really, we are baiting the hurricane.

And now, out of the 77 names listed for online fraud in the US, 74 are Igbo. We have a problem. We cannot solve this problem by living in denial.
I agree, there are millions of us doing great things in our fields, but we must condemn the activities of these criminals among us. They do not represent us, but their actions are capable of making an execrable impression of all us.
One drop of dirt is enough to make a basin of water impure. We must have serious conversations on this atypical criminality.
The argument that the Igbo are marginalised and that they are deprived because of the civil war, so very few among them are forced into crime is puerile. This is a terrible way to rationalise a problem that dents the entire group. There is no excuse for crime.
We have a culture that glorifies ‘’money’’ crime – ‘’ego mbute’’ – the culture of money grubbing and worship, as the-be-all and end-all of everything. It is a pervasive culture, not limited to the Igbo though.
We need value re-orientation, and this should be actuated by all groups – age grades and traditional institutions. We must stop celebrating people of unknown fortune. We must name and shame those with illicit wealth in our communities. We should upbraid them instead of giving them chieftaincy titles and front-row seats in church.

What exactly do we discuss at annual August meetings and town-union meetings? Enough should be enough. We cannot keep ignoring this filth.
We have a problem. A crime culture.
