Why Do Over 75% of Nigerians Arrested Abroad For Drug Trafficking Come From One Region?

Sadly, many men are driven to commit crimes by women who call them stingy because they are managing the small amounts of money they have. Take a country like Nigeria. If you look at the state breakdown of where Nigerian drug traffickers are imprisoned abroad, the states where parents demand the highest bride prices feature at the top, whereas those where families request no bride prices are found at the bottom. Is this a coincidence?

Let us invest in reforming our culture. Some need this more than others, because abroad they do not know Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba. They see you as a Nigerian. And in some places, that is a stigma. When you have a country like Seychelles, having more Nigerians in their prisons for drug offences than their own citizens, you must accept that there is a problem.

It is not racism that makes the queues for Nigerians long at foreign airports. For the most part, it is pragmatism.

And when something like 89% of Nigerians in prison for drug trafficking come from one region, and 68% of that 89% come from two states, one beginning with A and the other starting with I, you must consider addressing the cultural practices that make these men desperate to make money at all costs.

I deal with facts. There are data with names and places to back up my assertions. If the Federal Government wants them (that is, if they do not already have them), I am happy to provide these details to them.

That is why I have maintained that if these states refuse to pass laws restricting how much can be demanded as bride price or used to bury parents, then the Federal Government must step in and enact a federal law, the way the Supreme Court stopped the practice of preventing women from inheriting in one particular region, which may or may not be the same region where the bulk of Nigerians imprisoned for drugs come from.

People are not naturally greedy. There is no greed DNA, in the same way we have genes that cause obesity. Greed, just like hate, is learnt from the prevailing culture in an environment.

When you are young, and you see your community disrespect your aged father and respect a young man simply because he has money, your brain is being rewired. When your sister is being given away in marriage to a complete stranger, simply because he can afford the exorbitant bride price they demand, your brain is reengineered.

The traditions of a society subliminally drive the culture of that community. Unless you have an exceptionally strong and stubborn personality, your morals, values, beliefs, and even your most private thoughts will be dictated by the culture in your society, which has emotionally scripted you from the day you became self-aware.

If we do not address this scourge at the cultural level, we will continue to experience the devaluation of the Nigerian passport and our reputation.

If you frequently travel abroad, you know what I mean. The 'look' you get when they see your green passport. You are presumed guilty by association. Everywhere is not like Thailand, Kenya, and South Africa, where they have pinpointed the actual set of Nigerians who have a higher propensity for such crimes.

In most of the world, you are just viewed as a Nigerian, meaning that your perception is that of a person more given to crime than the average person. It is wrong. I know. But guess what? Perception is reality.

Things like location and nationality affect perceptions. For example, if you are seen with a cow at a church, it will be perceived as an offering. However, the perception is entirely different if you are seen with a cow at a shrine.

Nigerians are suffering from that perception. Many large firms with access to people's private data, such as ID and credit card details, are hesitant to hire Nigerians abroad, because of the perception challenge we have. You and I may not be drug pushers and romance scammers, but we pay the price for sharing the same passport with syndicates and cartels that engage in these practices.

Reno has a question for y'all

Reno could be your father oo.
I heard more than 53% of your people do not know their fathers

$10,000 on the table

Dear Esima,

Thank you for your feedback. There are no "recent statistics for pertanity (sic) fraud in Nigeria." What there was is data from Smart DNA, a leading DNA testing centre operating in Lagos.

Their data showed that 53% of those who got tested self-identified as Yoruba. It did not say that 53% of those who failed the test were Yoruba. I pledge to pay you the Naira equivalent of $10,000 if you can show me where the data said 53% of those who failed the test are Yoruba.

For example, if a DNA testing laboratory in Enugu gives a list of their clients, the majority will be from the ethnic group dominant in the state. Ditto for Kano.

Smart DNA is based in Lagos, which belongs to the Yoruba people of Nigeria, though others have falsely laid claim to solely developing the state. So, of course, most of their clients will be Yoruba.

In case you do not know why Smart DNA has such a high volume of clients, it is because they are one of the few DNA testing laboratories certified by embassies in Nigeria, and to get a visa for your family, you mandatorily have to perform a DNA test.

But much as you would like to twist the narrative, the data did not say 53% of those who failed the test are Yoruba. Most visa applicants to the US Consulate in Lagos are of Yoruba origin. It therefore follows that most clients to a US Embassy certified DNA testing laboratory would invariably be Yorubas.

Please fact-check me, but the National Bureau of Statistics revealed just recently that girls and young women from the Northwest and Southwest are more likely than those from the other zones of the South to keep their virginity until marriage and have low body counts.

Again, $10,000 to you if I am lying. Don't you want to make money, Esima?

Also, common sense should tell you that paternity fraud is likely to be higher in places where social malaise, like baby factories, are prevalent. Wouldn't you say so, Esima?

Anyway, thanks again, and may God bless you.

Reno has a question for y'all

In Anambra there is a well established drug mafia that coerce and recruit desperate people to smuggle drugs for them.

They use their dibias to prepare charms as a pyschological protection for their mules who will then think the charms will protect them.

The mafia are the ones who don't care about the lives of their mules

I read of a case of a young boy who was trafficked to Pakistan by a drug mule agent who posed as a football club agent promising to get the young boy a club spot over there only for the supposed agent to give the naive teenage boy drugs to smuggle . The boy was arrested at the airport , charged to court and sentenced to death. The judgement has since been carried out.

The moment they begin to clampdown on these drug mafia in their midsts instead of celebrating and elevating them , that's when all this nonesense will stop.

But you can rest assured this will never happen as most of them idolise their drug kingpins.

You are a fool because you already know the reason.

They have seen how successful the man you are working for now is and they want to be like him.

So things like this do not happened in SW abi!! Bros stop trying to tribalize this, it is a problem that cut across everywhere, you guys are just to dense abeg.

There's a community in Anambra that every single well to do person down to their chief is even a drug kingpin.

One thread here discussing about an executed drug kingpin from same community who was executed in far away Thailand but later buried in his compound , saw some individuals from same community posting on same thread that "at least he put something for ground for all to see". They care less about the individuals . To them is all about materialism.

COMRADES, Omokri always online for the inaccurate information

Deny Fc tribe will deny the fact
Like we all don't see them being arrested for drug trafficking almost everyday

Its like one tribe makes more money in crime than the other...
The other is known for rituals and "waste" human beings, but its like the so-called wealth is not really coming..
The is known for drugs, but may have "richer" people through drugs.

All crimes are evil; whether local or international.
Stop crime today and follow the right way.
