IFELEKE:

Have you seen the film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN before?
That's a classic example of how to integrate notorious criminals without offsetting any balance,
The film showed how a notorious criminal who specialized in impersonation and financial fraud was captured and effectively transformed into someone that specializes in catching others in the same trade,He was working for the FBI while still serving term for his crime.
The author of this article is not saying we should thrust the responsibility of economic transformation into the hands of these Crime kingpins, he is rather saying we should effectively utilize their negative skills,

Frank Abagnale became a consultant for the government on paper hangers and mind you his first job after leaving prison was voluntary because no one will employ him due to his conviction record. He went to a bank and volunteered to help them in identifying paper hanger tricks for free and insist they must refer him to other banks if they feel his service is worthy.That is a soul desiring to change. What would a Nigerian have done, he will blame does who won't employ him and go straight back to the life of crime.
You see, from my understanding of the Nigerian person, crime pays because if you are caught justice is neither served nor enforced. See the corrupt governors walking free now after a courtesy call to EFCC as clear examples.
So, these leaders are indirectly mentoring a generation of youths and professionals into believing that whatever crime you commit in Nigeria, all you need is know person and you will be home free and we are seeing the realities.
Ask any Yahoo Yahoo guy, he will tell you he's collecting slave trade reparations back from the foreigners and I guess the corrupt leaders who sold his ancestors into the slave trade are still around mortgaging his future.
Mentoring is a factor here and the mentality of the criminals as well.

Hey Tpia, get a life.
Who the heck do you think you are that other NL users should be avoiding any post you are like plague?
So, indeed delusion is not location-specific.

Yeah. Lets go back to Fanny Kayode.
Money laundering is the issue there and they ALL do it.
Another useful usage of Mistresses by Naija politicians.

Thats assuming Tpia is a she.

@ Kobo:
I am here to decompress but this Tpia will just predictably make my day. Sure, I remember the Post Office thread and as you can see she still making a nuisance of herself; here and there.
We see these things regularly in Naija and have learnt to give them their 360 degrees.

Yeah right.
He tried after the order of Concord and Kabo airlines?
Naija needs serious politico-moral-spiritual stocktaking.

I have said it; when a clay idol wants to display its folly and get disgraced, it will ask to be put in the river to dance.

tpia:

so what I've been doing on this thread is Yoruba solidarity?

are you smoking ganja or what 'cos you're not making sense.

What y'all stand for is wronger than what other tribes stand for, doesnt excuse your extremely illbred comments about Yoruba women. Neither are you the only so-called Yoruba who has made similar frustrated statements based on their frustrations in life. Even if multiple Yoruba women took your money, beat you up, jazzed you to Mars and gave you 200 koboko lashes while doing so, you're still out of line when you start making generalized statements WHICH YOU KNOW ONLY APPLY TO THE HOOCHIES YOU SLEEP WITH. Fani Kayode is a typical mugu of your type. When they're dancing palanga on your head you dey laugh not knowing the extent of your muguness.

Not to mention you're lying through your teeth. When Yoruba men were referred to as vulgar, werent you the one carrying dagger for the Yoruba men's cause?

As usual, missing the whole point and trying to subject all to your opinion.

He will spend the next 2 years to deploy it and 2nd or 3rd term to actualize it.
Wicked _leaders rulers.

A-reeking Air

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-32741.0.html
Maybe, this is the reason Arik Air is doing bad well now.
The conscience of all will haunt the few that subverts responsible governance.

Pataki:

Femi Fani Kayode is an utter idiot. You have a woman at home but you prefer frolicking around the world with a Zoologist, who understands how to sucks animals like you dry.

Can't just stop laughing at that comment. Thats the point.

Kobojunkie:

Roflmao!!!

Yeah right. MIA.We have all been busy as the economic depression is not touching Naija, one has to plan ahead.

Tpia;
Don't get your knickers into a storm or burn your calories on my posts.
I state things the way they are in Naija and if your staying down under has tainted your understanding of the hard sad realities on ground, so be it
There is no oversabi anywhere. Just don't turn yourself into an internet nuisance that exchange harsh posts with people here because you think you know it all.
You always remind me of our rulers leaders.So disenfranchised with realities.

tpia:

the lousy ones have landed!!!

oops, I meant posh vulgar

geez, there are so many seriously messed up Yoruba dudes as demonstrated by this and other threads!!

Just wondering about this.

Indeed I think Tpia has issues as someone mentioned earlier on this thread.
So,everyone with a different non-subjective opinion has become a Yoruba person to you?
If I recall from your post on other threads, you seem to know it all and forgot that you are not the only Nigerian living or that has been to Aotearoa.
Is that how you see Maori people too? Cuz I mingled with them before and know they have serious tribal problems like any other on this planet.

@ igbogolo:
Long time, no post. The issue has been revisited here

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-241755.0.html

and as you can see, I have every right to be as passionate as I want about a service I am paying for.
I mentioned it in my post that the Nigerian demon has clipped the wings of Nigeria, as you can see now, its moving up to its brain.
So long crisp world class disservice.

igbogolo:

I am glad to announce that i flew arik to nigeria and i got hooked. the plane was crisp with world class service. and yes the plane was filled to the brim. only few spaces in the first class section.
the air hosts were multi racial( like in emirates), with very very very polite nigerian air hostesses. the economy section which i sat had more leg room than BA world traveller plus.

Yeah right!
When I posted here:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-212628.0.html

about the treatment I received from Arik Air,all hell was let loose when some pro-Nigerians see me as anti-Nigeria when they are supposed to focus on the solution that will prevent such nonsense in future.
As you can now see, when an injury is not treated properly, it festers.
My people say; Plantain is becoming rotten, they is its ripening. THAT is the classical Nigerian case.
Welcome to Naija!!!

This is not a news anymore.
We all know the drug dealers and criminals among us.

Fani or was it Fanny-Kayode got what he deserved in that purple scarlet carrier.
The lady will soon learn too that; what goes around, follows the sender to deliver the result.

Obinna, if you know the history of chaos that Singapore dealt with before they got to where they are now, you will know Nigeria could have changed if we want to but the basic things we need on ground before we start touting ourselves as a good country is lacking, the reverse is the case in Singapore.
Crime and corruption are punishable by law irrespective of who you are in Singapore; have you heard the litter bug story?, not in Nigeria.
So, we can compare and aspire to change like Singapore but the change must start within. You can only brand what you have; realities.

~ ~

yeah right!

Oh God.
These scammers are just foolish; its simple that these people are from Nigeria because they wrote the email and requested that the soft loan be sent to J. Straw in Nigeria. Please, drop all those ip hiding nonsense.
These guys hardly operate from cafes any longer; many thanks to dial up service providers and even the area policemen and bank workers know them when they come for the Western Union and if/when they are caught, its 50/50 with the law enforcement people.
Nigeria this, Nigeria that; this is not an IP address issue but where the request for the money is coming from and will go to. Its our moral turpitude on the line.
Naija; lost wallet indeed!

Of course, why should he resign?
Because, most people in this country will rather die in office rather than exit alive and learn from the experience.

Yeah clothing line indeed.
Why are we denying the obvious? Simple! we all have the propensity to do the same if all opportunities present itself-its a Nigerian thing and our leaders rulers in Abuja can prove it. This Wear It All guy is clearly using the clothing business as a cover, he is either a 419er, Cocaine Pusher, Blood Money Maker or something really unclean.
Half of Hollywood rappers are into drug business and they also have multi-platinum albums, apparel brands and whatever can cover the real source.
But, clearly, we all know the real deal. Crime is crime and you can't cover it forever. Just ask Adewale Taiwo!

abi oh!
Teacher teach them nonsense!

Bottom Line: another way the money that could have helped develop the failing Nigerian education system goes abroad
We are just misplacing our priorities and milking ourselves dry in the process;
Politicians= Offshore Accounts, Kids schooling abroad, Houses abroad
Civil Servants= same as above
Others= same as above- stolen funds

Poverty of the mind clearly amplifies congenital avarice.
Crime is a crime, whatever lingo might be used to package it.

Sky-walker:

Its not a shame to Nigeria.Its a shame to the adewale family. Did anybody condemn USA when madoff did his own(the biggest 1 ever)?

Yeah right. A lot of people are condemning the US for the Madoff affair and its in the mainstream media as one of the underlying reasons for their collapsing economy.
Of course, you can only hear what your ear is attuned to and for God's sake, this is about a young, promising and foolish smart Nigerian.

Thats just the problem.
Any small thing that Nigeria has to get right, we point to the US while the stark reality is that we are so far behind the US developmentally. Ghana and South Africa is there for starters, even Namibia and Botswana.
Lets not allow mediocrity or blissful ignorance that will boomerang damage us all.
