There you have your Biafra. I bet you these are the core of Nnamdi Kanu followers. They believe in an Eldorado whilst they are evil personified.

ABA is a jungle compare to Onitsha and Lagos

Freestainworld:
Even as an Igbo guy, Onitsha is one hell of a place, I remember my phone being snatched from me while I was sitting in a bus traveling to Aba from Onitsha, I laugh each time people talk of Lagos agberos, try and come to Onitsha or Aba, compare them, you will know Onitsha is the worst, even the security agents are working with them because they could be close by but will just pretend as if they didn't see anything because of the kickbacks they receive.

My worst travel stories are from transversing the east. The place is a cesspool of money-grubbing criminals. Once your cash enters their hands, customer service flies out of the window.

Why do you guys always have to quote long messages like this before saying what you have to say?

Can't you just reply without quoting what OP typed?

Rubbish and spices.

Nigeria Democracy, seems to have made a lot of people lawless and above the law. If it were to be a military regime, the level of high-handedness we see this day, you won't see them. All it would have taken OP is to move up to zik round about and report to the soldiers there.

Pardon my errors

I traveled yesterday from the southwest to attend a wedding in Owerri. I got to onitsha around 12 noon because of the vehicle. I have been directed to take keke to peace park. I took keke from the park, but the keke guy took I and the lady with me to another pack. On getting there, I was still confused because I didn't see the name 'peace' there. The guys there cut the ticket and wrote 2550 to Owerri... As I was trying to tell him No... Some guys came trying to harass the lady... Creating fear by trying to hijack her bag... So, she ran and said we should pay for the vehicle... The guy took us to the vehicle in disguise that he was trying to protect us saying onitsha is now bad... We paid and met some people in the vehicle.

To cut the story short... That same keke and another kept bringing people for them and they harass them that way. Once u enter that park... U can't go out... U will pay for the ticket under duress. We left there past 2pm....It was later I discovered the driver and vehicle was hijacked too... He was given 1k and they took the rest. The keke guys were positioned for it. They collected double money from some women, made them cry and they paid again. They vehicle was going to owerri, they took bayelsa and Portharcourt passengers and collected huge money but will not go with them.

One of those criminals said they can't be reported to the police because police is a syndicate too... In fact, I discovered that all the people we met in the vehicle were part of the team of criminals. The name on the ticket is 'All Roads park'.

I have not had this experience before... Lagos is not as worse as this from my experience. There is a big park beside this people, and nobody is rebuking them from this evil. They extort, hijack and make women weep. It is a terrible business...

How many of us have encountered such?

Help move to FP to inform newbies in that area


The driver is part of them, I experienced them coming to lag from onitsha , one I got to that park , they dragged my luggage from me and put in their vehicle that the bus is going to lagos, I almost accepted but the manner in which they collected my bags and even threatened me made me decide I won't go. Thats where the problem started, on top my luggage they where fighting me , made me pay 6k in duress, even d driver collect slap join from this touts, the funny part is they put some people in the bus to look like the bus is almost filled up but all of them are touts including the lady there.

I met the driver and told him my mind is not willing to travel with them that I need to go, the driver insisted I will go with them, before I had to make a call to my brother who happens to be a soldier in onitsha, he told me to put the phone and loudspeaker and told me to collect my money from them or he will come collect it himself, to cut it short , they gave me 5k instead of 6k. I just enter bus to asaba to follow God is good. Never in my life will I go to onitsha again

Onitsha motor parks are notoriously populated by touts. I know cause I did my NYSC there. Your experience is correct. I learnt hard way when I was coming back to Lagos after orientation camp and got there around noon. Didn't leave till 3pm. When I came back, my neighbor told me never to enter Lagos bus in afternoon or go to Asaba to board. Since that day, i only go to Asaba to board Lagos bus. Too many touts in Onitsha. Fake conductor, fake passenger, fake pastor, fake cops,

Problem is that even if you arrest them, nothing will come out of it.
It’s common practice with Nigeria motor park especially in Onitsha unless you are a military man
Not common with all Motor Parks Mr. Onitsha is worse of all states when it comes to petty thieves.

If you don't cry the first time you visit Onitsha, then it's not Onitsha you visited.

Whether you be Igbo, yoruba or Hausa.

Inside the electronics market, same thing. Driving in your own car, same thing.
