How come I don't see people saying that Soludo should be voted out for saying the same thing?

Why do you prefer to focus on the messenger instead of the message? If you are not embarrassed that Igbos go about pushing drugs around the world, you are most likely doing the same thing or benefiting from it.

You people must learn to condemn criminality in its entirety. I don't know what parents teach their children these days. Parents are terribly failing at parenting!

This is Soludo saying that 23 Anambra indigenes are on death row in Indonesia and nobody called for his head

As a public official, Abike Dabiri-Erewa holds a position that demands neutrality, tact and a commitment to national unity. She is expected to defend the interests of all Nigerians in the diaspora not inflame tribal tensions or exploit her office to score political points.[/b]

What she has done is not merely embarrassing it is dangerous. Her rhetoric will provoke hate, social stigma and even physical attacks against innocent Igbo Nigerians abroad many of whom are law-abiding professionals, students and entrepreneurs.

Abike Dabiri-Erewa has demonstrated that she is unfit to represent Nigerians in the diaspora especially when a significant portion of them can no longer trust her to advocate on their behalf without tribal bias.

She should resign or be removed from office immediately. Her continued presence only deepens Nigeria’s fragile divisions and reinforces the double standards that have hindered the nation’s unity for decades

If I tell you na Obi's fault will you believe me? You can't eat your cake and have it. Obi should have been calm, work with Atiku and climb his way up from VP. But greed won't let him and ended up splitting votes!

Obi, not Wike was Tinubu's greatest 'asset' in the last election. And do not get me wrong. Check my previous posts, I am Obi's fan but not a blind fan like most of his followers. He should be told the truth.

Also you do not have to mention hushpuppi as an example. He is the exemption in a million normal. It's simple maths and it's called probability. A thousand white pebbles in a sack with five black pebbles. Maths says if you draw out a random pebble, the probability that it would be a black pebble is near impossible, each time. If you however draw out a black pebble it would be a jackpot! 😮 you Gerrit?

Oya, tell the Nigeria online president to use his capacity to sack her..

Those blackmailing, gaslighting stopped working since 2023.

If truth is too bitter to you lots to swallow, na to dish out more bitter truth and let's see if that can cause a running stomach

If you are waiting for emilokan to sack his co conspirator you will wait for too long.

Tribal bigotry and hatred for the Igbos is the major stock of emilokan apologists

Abike or whatever she is called is an unrepentant Igbo hater and bigots in chief it

lol...go and sack her now as the Supreme leader of Nigeria.

Some of you guys are funny

The first people to be shouting 'FULANI HERDSMEN' are complaining lol. 😁

Abeg didnt Soludo say 99.9% of people committing crimes in his own state are of a certain tribe which he belongs to? Is it also tribalism? When Sanusi Lamido Sanusi said the North is the most backward region in Nigeria riden with poverty and illiteracy? Is that also tribalism?

The question is, do they have evidence for what they have said in public? Until we become objective devoid of sentiments we won't be able to solve our problems.

The day they will start taking responsibility for their own actions is the beginning of finding solutions to their accumulated issues

That is your cup of tea.

I am igbo but I support Abike on this totally.
If we are doing good like in educatuon business etc we shout Igbo amaka here n there now that we are dealing in hard drugs we must shout the same igbo amaka.

There must be no hiding under others Nigerians because we do not hide under other Nigerians if we excel in educarion sport etc my 2 cent.

Even though I'm Yoruba by tribe but I support this 100%.

Stale and dry.

I saw that her statement also...

I just shook my head because it wasn't necessary.

By the way she has been the chairperson of that committee since 2018 during buhari's tenure (if I am not mistaken) isn't it time the office gets a new chair person?

Her time has had its fair share of controversies!

You guys still have many years ahead to wail and cry. Abike Dabiri should be sacked for saying the raw truth.

Every day we have news and pictures of people from a particular region doing the same thing and you expected everyone to look away.

Just few years ago, I and other patriot here warned monikers from your region about the consequences of Nnamdi Kanu actions, you guys mocked us, cursed us, fight us and even reported us to the supermod but today you're all seeing the result.

Allow Dabiri to talk so whenever any Nigerian is denied India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand visa they will know the region that caused it.

It was very necessary infact she has achieved her aim of mentioning that in her speech at least we are now seeing reactions which of course has not been able to falsify her because she stated the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

There used to be a point in time in this country which if you mention Italy you already know the state that represents Nigeria in committing the crime of prostitution there.

And when it comes to fraud, we know the part of the country that is most involved in the crime of fraud in foreign lands.
Moreover these are the people who are quick to shout 'FULANI HEARDSMEN' even when Gov Soludo has dispell their name calling as a lie.

It's not necessary for a top government official to mention the statistics.

What is the aim of the statistics?

They are Nigerians. Simple and straightforward.

No need to start pointing fingers and causing ethnic tensions in an already bad situation.

If it was done in the past it doesn't mean it should continue that way. Times change and we ought to learn to change with the times!

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the current Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has consistently demonstrated ethnic bias and a lack of professional discretion these traits disqualify her from holding such a sensitive and nationally symbolic office.

Her most recent actions singling out Igbos in connection with crimes committed abroad not only breach diplomatic decorum but appear to be a deliberate attempt to scapegoat an entire ethnic group, with potentially dangerous consequences for innocent Nigerians living overseas.

Dabiri-Erewa has made it a pattern to highlight crimes allegedly committed by Nigerians of Igbo descent, while deliberately ignoring or downplaying similar offenses committed by other Nigerians, particularly those from her ethnic group.

[b]For instance, in 2023 she publicly named and shamed Igbos in Dubai involved in gang-related violence. She failed to provide full details, ignored due process and used inflammatory language that branded entire communities abroad with guilt by association. Yet, in the same Dubai Nigeria’s most notorious internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, also known as "Hushpuppi" was arrested by the FBI. Abike Dabiri-Erewa did not highlight his Yoruba ethnicity or use the incident to generalize about his ethnic group. Instead, she issued an official statement through the Commission urging the public to refrain from stigmatizing Nigerians in the diaspora and emphasizing that the actions of a few should not tarnish the reputation of the majority.

That statement described the arrest of Ramoni Igbalode (“Hushpuppi”) as no justification for generalizing about all Nigerians abroad or using the case as a basis for ethnic stereotyping.

When drug traffickers of other ethnic backgrounds were arrested in Saudi Arabia or when Nigerians were caught for internet fraud and other crimes in Malaysia, India, or Indonesia Dabiri-Erewa either remained silent or issued vague, diplomatic statements, without drawing attention to their ethnic identity.

This pattern of selective outrage betrays a deep-seated bias and worsens ethnic divisions both at home and abroad.

Why not go and sack her
Nonsense people brining shame and dishonor to the Country

But the culprits have been the same for years. There is nothing bad in shaming them if that what would make them to have a rethink of committing crimes outside Nigeria

Did you also give this advise when Soludo stated 99.9% crime committed in the SE are perpetrated by the Igbo.

If 20 out of 21 prisoners in Indonesia is from one state in Nigeria, what does that tells you.

Those pointing fingers at them...

I hope they know it's hypothetical to insist on one Nigeria and keep accusing them or pointing fingers at them.

If you can't accommodate them as one Nigeria or as a single entity or country then let them go.

You can't insist on being together with them as a country and be quick to point them out when you feel they are out of line!

It tells me that Nigerian there are commiting crimes...

What else should it tell me?

If you can't accommodate or tolerate them as Nigerians then let them go and create their own country.

Simple!

I hope she can survive the repercussions.

Tribalistic derogatory statements just to prove loyalty.

A newscaster/journalist at that. Who worked in NTA a Federal Cooperation for decades does not need to be told how to communicate or speak on sensitive issues.

The World is watching.
The internet does not forget.

Digital footprint is real.

Who is stopping them from creating their country. There are guidelines to this and instead of pushing it, their REPs and SENs are asking to be indigenes of another state

When SOludo said it, you didnt shake your head, but when Non-Igbos said it, you shook your head

See h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e from Delta

SHE MUST SHOW BIGOTRY AND HATE.,





IT IS THEIR WAY

Truth be told, I sincerely appreciate and love your summation on this matter. But then again, I am thinking things like this has become like a second skin to people who think they are above everyone in running narratives. Just imagine a Peter Obi and Obi Ezekwesili who rightly both go about individually, or separately, crying at the highest pitch to the heavens when there's massacre and carnage of human lives in all other geopolitical zones (and ethnic groups) but wrongly and suddenly develop a deaf, blind, and dumb organs when the same kind of evil happens in their home. I begin to think, and these are the same people that wants the youths to die for them.
Honestly, the youths need to wise up and unite against this people. They're all the same in most cases.

Stop commiting crime and spoiling Nigeria name abroad. If you don't commit crime she will not have anything to report. Out of 250+ tribes in Nigeria, only one is too much and known with criminality. Don't cover criminality, report it, expose it. So that solution will be provided. All your covering since 1960 never solved this problem, change the tactics and expose criminality. There is no tribe without element of criminality, but Biafran own are too much at 99.99% and they even export it to the world. Other tribe don't do it daily, but biafrans over do their own to the extent no day goes without committing crime at local and international arena. She has not done bad, you are the one that should change for better, it is too much
