You knows nothing. Just exposing your ignorance by saying onitsha and aba is the headquarters of hoodlums. Mumu.

Your overhyped Lagos is the headquarters of thugs, agberos and hoodlums! You forgot that agberos are the one running Lagos. You Lagos is one of the worst cities to live in the world.

If you going to Lagos . On arriving to Lagos. You will see a big signboard which says" This is Lagos, shine your eyes" Just to show you that the city is filled with criminals and deranged people looking to scam and cheat you at any moment.

South East is the safest and people region in this country. We know the east have security challenges but it is more safe than other region.

What about the ritual killing that happens in ogun, osun or other Western States. Or the militancy, oil bunkering and piracy in the Niger Delta. What about the terrorist killing of Boko Haram and bandits in the north ?

Every region in this country have their own security challenges. But you guys make it look as if the east is the worst.

Most of all this things you guys write about onitsha is exaggerated! Even some people that have never left their villages are also commenting because others are commenting.

Total rubbish.

The majority of inhabitants in onitsha are crooks. I can't forget my experience there.

Kindly share my love

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?

Pls next time, just be totally rude to any of those Onitsha agbero park, don't even allow any of those bastards to touch you or your luggage be extremely rude, they are criminals i tell you, they always want to try that sh*t with anybody if you give them room.

Benzemma:

Take it or leave it, Lagos is far more better than Onitsha both day and night.Some part in Lagos is safe to stay. But the whole of Onitsha is dangerlously dangerloss!

But the backward shithole Owerri is more dangerous than Onitsha and Lagos put together

collagiatepaper:



They collected TP from us and we waited for like 2hrs inside the bus. We were just 3 in the bus. They pretended as though they were looking for more passengers and disappeared from there. It was as though it was jazzy things

Then what did you do next?

From the start I knew the purpose of this thread was for ethnic war.

Read the story again if you are a very smart person you will get alot of untrue parts.

You are very stupid. From page 1 to this page I've seen more than 5 people that have shared their experiences amongst them Igbo, but all you can see is ethnic war. People like you are actually part of the problem. I pray you fall into their hands soon.

ogbuefi677:


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.

You are very correct. Didn't mean to add an ethnic connotation to it. I was obviously wrong about that as many of the victims are so Igbos too.. Its just sad it's been an occuring for a very long time without resolve.

Non-Easterners don't dwell in the east, except you are in one of the forces or forced there as a corper. Even to just travel there is a tale full of woes.

The same way non southwesterners don't reside in yoruba enclaves like oyo, ogun, osun, ekiti, ondo. Living in those jungles of mud houses is risky due to ritualist

You are very correct, I had the same experience in February at the same spot

ignis:
I had a bitter experience at Upper Iweka Park the last time I traveled to Onitsha. I crossed the road only to be rounded by some agberos claiming I have broken the rule by not using the pedestrian bridge... Meanwhile several people were crossing the road same way I did, I called thier attention to that, and they said they have no business with them.
I started shouting angrily at them, but they were adamant that my fine is #5,000... I ended up giving then #3,000 with abeg abeg..

Experienced this same thing in 2017 on my way to Ebonyi for NYSC camp.
This same strategy in Onitsha,it was disgusting and annoying.

Tydarl:


I have actually not typed a single word about Onitsha as I have never been to the hell-hole. My best friend is from Ekwusigo and almost lost her life to the touts in Onitsha.

I can imagine that rage and bigotry won't let you think straight. You are so angry at this thread that you have typed Lagos a hundred times.
Let people learn from Ops experience and stop being a wicked person.

Calm down odenni.
What he is saying is ppl shouldn't make it and Igbo thing as there are crimes of even worse proportions in every corner of the country but you see ppl posting on this thread "Igbos are terrible, Igbos need to change their ways " bla bla as if the rest of the country is Eldorado.
Where I work in d north Central,we're always packing corpses of Okada ppl every morning cos okada thieves will prefer to stab the rider from the back and steal his bike rather than disposses him of it through force or threat.
An Igbo armed robber will rather block the road with logs and rob d passengers while in that place they open fire on the driver and passengers then rob the corpses after the car crashes.
I know you won't still understand.

CharisEleos:
So with [s]all the upheavals going on in the east you still went ahead to risk travelling there?

Well, most people here including me from the East has never and will never encounter such because I chose to stay safe in my house.

I was also shocked on Tuesday when a colleague told me she would be traveling to the east for the summer. I tried to dissuade her but she waved it and told me nothing is happening. Ok!

which fictional upheavals

Upper iweka is hell!! Many youth Corpers keep suffering year in year out. I was a victim.
I have pictures of those idiots men/ scammers.
