Oh! That place and this transport company IZUCHUKWU my advice don't enter night vehicle there, after all the stunt, the will pack somewhere before ijebu ode, tell you something happened to the vehicle, if you can't wait till tomorrow go to the road, if you decide to stay, you will be robbed that night because it's in the middle of nowhere, the next morning the driver will tell you he was robbed as well, but we all know it was a planned work. (This is not friction but fact, run from that transport company) If you are unfortunate enough in that situation, leave, don't mind the cost, take a bike to ijebu ode, get an hotel or find your way to Lagos. 6 Likes 3 Shares

Sorry for your ugly experience. I live in onitsha and had never experienced such harassment. One thing about onitsha is that you have to deploy your common sense always. If you are coming from bridge head, don't enter Keke drop, most of them are criminals. Enter the normal small bus with every other person, avoid anything that will show them that you are new to the town. When you want to make enquiries, ask people inside shops, you are safer that way 6 Likes |

I no longer keep Ibo guys as friends because all my former Ibo friends are self centred and trickish.They want to collect from me either by tricks or as friendship but they don't like to render help for free.Even when I go to the market to buy stuff,I don't keep Ibo business men as regular customers.They are cheats.The only reason I want Biafra is because of the inequality, nepotism,ethnic cleansing,bandits and jihadists going on in this country.One region feels power and not good governance is théir birthright. 8 Likes 1 Share |

sparko1: Ironically, these fools think they are being smart subjecting their passengers and customers to misery. They are the losers. Once bitten, twice shy or as we sat in Igbo...Uzo di mma, agaa ya ugboro abuo...if the road/pathway is good/accessible, you’ll walk/drive through it again and again. Those dodgy companies are ruining their businesses with these shady and unprofessional attitudes. A passenger with a bad experience would never come back. That’s one customer lost and many others who would’ve heard about their operations. 6 Likes |

Alliteration: I had this experience at Onitsha in 2006, it was a terrible one. People will be passing bye and they will mind their own business otherwise the boys will attack them. The Igbos who often talk about agbero in Lagos are aware of this and they won't talk about it. Upper Iweka is a den of hoodlums and daylight robbery 2 Likes |

MARKone:Military regime was not different.If you were born in Lagos you will know.Touts would cut your gold chain in broad day light at Oshodi and nothing would happen.pickpockets and purse snatchers was rampant during the military regime at oshodi,mushin and other parts of Lagos. |

Alliteration: On Sunday, they'll all go to church for mass and continue the cycle of evil from Monday to Saturday. That's your introduction to Igbo land and culture. Only a few days ago I recollected, as if it was yesterday, an experience I had as a 16 year old. I genuinely wanted to purchase my first pair of jeans trouser. As I arrived Oyingbo market, a bunch of middle-age Igbo shop keepers lured me (as I would later realise) into a shop and forced me to buy from them. I told them I wanted to see what's on offer in other kiosks before making up my mind. I was literally told that I either buy from them or won't make it alive out of the closet. I paid for the item and left. By and large, the Igbos are desperate for wealth and it really doesn't matter how you make it. Before you start calling me Yoruba n gbati, my both parents are Igbos. I was raised partly in Kano (0-14) and later in Lagos (14+) 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Lagos as a whole a den of armed robbers. Motorpark touting has its headquarters in Lagos. Even traffic robbery is a Lagos thing. Something you can never find in Onitsha focus7: 2 Likes |

Alliteration: Honestly speaking, as an Igbo guy the kind of theft going on in Onitsha is very shameful and embarrassing. I didn't believe that such a thing will be happening in any part of Igbo land. Was thinking it's only in Lagos until they did same thing to me the day I was traveling from Onitsha to Lagos. I realized that Lagos is safer than Onitsha. In Onitsha, no matter your gender you can't walk both day and night freely without being robbed openly even in crowd area, and nobody will blink his or her eyes. Last two months ago, i went to upiweka to enter bus that will take me to Lagos. As I was heading to the park, one man was following me asking me if where am going, i told him am going park where I will get a bus to Lagos. He told me that I should come to their park that is 5000k, that there is no road as I can see that every where is blocked and there is no bus. He told me that other Park is charging more than that , but I don't want to agree with him as i already conscious of the happenings around the area. So he followed down to park, immediately i got there, another man who was act to be conductor approached me and was telling to enter bus, i asked how much is Lagos? He said 8,500k immediately he bring out ticket and was given it to me, so i turned to ask the other man that said is 5000k why they are now saying 8500k, to my surprise two other guys rushed me, before then I had already put my hand inside the pocket where I put my android phone. Immediately one of the two guys put his hand inside my pocket to collect the phone, but couldn't get through cos i had already blocked it my own hand. So the man who was giving me the ticket was telling them to leave me alone, they started beating the man. Then the passenger that was inside the bus, was telling me to enter the first or else they will Robb me. I entered and paid the said amount. I was inside the watching them do the same to other passengers. I later learnt from the passenger that is what they do to collect money from people, that they work with those bus people after they will collect their own share! Actually, Lagos is much better than Onitsha. You can't be robbed in public on a broad daylight in Lagos. Something need to be done about it, is getting out of hand. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Denko2721987: Sorry 4 ur experience bro but in all honesty it has no tribal connotation.We Igbos comprise 99% of the victims.The snag is don't appear to not be familiar with the environment.U know Onitsha is a big commercial town with tens of thousands of visitors daily. If you had observed carefully you will see police vehicles and checkpoints everywhere around where you were extorted. Report them to the police,police will tell u to go and pay up,you can confirm by reading backwards on this thread where others shared their experience. Unfortunately, Onitsha is a very big commercial town with the attendant no-man's-land characteristics. Do you know that when unknown gunmen started evangelism and sacking police stations, crimes reduced to almost zero in Onitsha, d few that dared were roasted like goats? Ask any person who is an insider in police matters,POLICEMEN PAY HUGE BRIBES TO BE POSTED TO THE SOUTHEAST especially Onitsha cos of this. A policeman prefers to be on the streets of Onitsha than inside an air-conditioned office in Abuja. In d early days of Obiano,these same touts dare not even greet you good morning cos police will arrest them immediately.It was said Obiano told ppl his 1st ever car was snatched at Upper Iweka so the place must be like a church premises.I don't know what changed along the line. I'm not absolving the locals from blame but everybody will attempt to breach the law for financial gains if there are no repercussions eg d way the hitherto honest northerners suddenly went full scale into kidnapping,cattle rustling,banditry etc. I apologise for your terrible experience once again. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
