About few years ago, I applied for a visa to Sao Tome and Principe, with a group of white people.

It was via email.

My visa was delayed for over two weeks, while the white guys got theirs in two days.

On query, the visa officer emailed me and said the Nigerian ambassador had requested them not to let in Nigerians of Biafran origin.

I kid you not. I still have the email.

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.
Boss thanks for liking my summation in the matter...

But two wrongs don't make no right.

If you like my summations and follow me you would see that I try to be as objective as possible.

I'm not for this...or that. I just try to be as objective as I can be!

As you said they are just about the same. We just mostly have to pick the best of the devil's!

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

https://www.thecable.ng/23-anambra-indigenes-on-death-row-in-indonesia-for-drug-offences-says-soludo/
This simply shows that you lack comprehension.
How is what Soludo said the same as what Abike Dabiri is doing?
Did Soludo say that people from Onitsha or Awka are responsible for most of the crimes in Anambra or in Indonesia?
Did he say that people from Anambra State make up the highest number of inmates in Indonesian prisons?
Did he single out a particular community and label all of them as criminals?

You keep looking for excuses to cover up criminality instead of looking inward for solution. Is it Dubai that protested last week that she was talking about? She was recent happing, but you go and drag expired Dubai case that even the offender is about to finish his jail term. Do you know how many of biafrans that have been locked up in the prison since the Dubai case you are referencing? Stop covering criminalities! Open your mouth and expose it. Since 1960, biafrans have been leading in both domestic and foreign criminalities for Nigeria, and your leaders are not taking serious actions, but you want us to keep covering criminalities. No! We will not cover up criminality from anywhere it comes from.

sreamsense:
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
The truth is that if successive governments had not systematically denied Igbo youths opportunities to thrive in the country, they wouldn’t be seeking greener pastures abroad where a few of them turn to crime.

Crime is part of every society.
There are criminals in every ethnic group; in fact, there are even more criminals outside the Igbo tribe. So why single out the Igbos alone?

Anyone with basic education should know that if Igbos make up the largest population of Nigerians in a particular country, it is only natural that they would also be the highest in all statistics including crime, success, employment in that country.

If Abike Dabiri is not a bigot, she should publish the names and ethnicities of all Nigerians in Saudi Arabian prisons or London prisons.

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.

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.
She is occupying a public office paid for by the taxes of all Nigerians including the Igbos and she chooses to allow ethnic sentimentality to blindfold her and you as a supposedly educated person see nothing wrong in it.

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.


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 any attention to their ethnic identity.

Anyone with basic education should know that if Igbos make up the largest population of Nigerians in a particular country, it is only natural that they would also be the highest in all statistics including crime, success, employment..e.t.c in that country.

If Abike Dabiri is not a bigot, she should publish the names and ethnicities of all Nigerians in Saudi Arabian prisons or London prisons.


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

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.


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 and progress for decades
Desist from further speading FALSEHOODS and deliberate disinformation here while playing the victim. This is why Governor Soludo is a great man for speaking the truth about the fact that 99.99% of those arrested in Anambra State are his fellow Ibo kinsmen NOT outsiders.

The UAE Government had already released the names of those South East of Nigeria criminals arrested to the whole world before Abike Dabiri-Erewa even mentioned what was already available in the public domain.

Watch the 2014 video BELOW of a Thailand Police investigator accusing South East of Nigeria people of being the BIGGEST CURSE to Nigeria and Africa. This was in 2014 when Goodluck Jonathan was the President of Nigeria. It wasn't Abike Dabiri-Erewa speaking in that video BUT a Senior Police investigator in Thailand in 2014.

No, your problem is with the messenger and not the message. It's quite disturbing that many Igbos commit crimes abroad and governments across the South East region don't see the need to enlighten the people to desist from committing crimes and tarnishing the image of the country.

You guys need to stop covering criminality with marginalization. For those from the South East who don't commit crimes abroad, aren't they marginalized too? You also generalize that every tribe commits crime. Yes, that's true. But what efforts are making to stop yours considering its negative impact on the country? Why do you get angry when you get called out for something you know so well that you do?

Can you people for once admit that pushing drugs is wrong and tell the people to stop destroying the country's already battered image?

It seems you people want to get to a point where these countries can actually identify the tribe behind the crimes and stop issuing them their visas before you understand the damage you are doing to yourselves.

You are rambling on and criminally defaming the well-respected NTA veteran journalist, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa for saying what the whole media outlets in Nigeria and around the world had already published based on what the UAE Government had released to the public even BEFORE Abike Dabiri-Erewa spoke back then. The newly signed "Cybercrimes Act law is already in effect. I will NOT warn you again.

What she said was a repeat of the FACT and you are being highly IRRESPONSIBLE for even trying to accuse her of wrong doing!

Second, Asari Dokubo ALSO said in a video in 2023 that when he traveled to Vietnam and South Korea, he was asked whether he is Ibo. This is based on the FACT that many South East of Nigeria people were being arrested for crimes with Anambra State indigenes being in the majority.

Third, the SAME thing is going on in Ghana where South East of Nigeria people have been arrested for over 20 years and their names were fully published in the media. Even the recent armed robberies, kidnappings for ransom, hard drugs trafficking, human trafficking, products counterfeiting, money counterfeiting, are done by these elements from the South East of Nigeria. This is what finally triggered the protests in Ghana further compounded by the disrespectful activities of the fake Eze parading himself around.

The popular leading Ghanain opposition leader Dr. Hassan Ayariga who once lived and schooled in Nigeria himself said on live Ghana television that the South East of Nigeria people were causing problems in Ghana based on those arrested in the past. He bluntly said in the same viral video that the Yorubas and Hausas have been living in Ghana for centuries WITHOUT causing problems for Ghanaians till date and this is a historical FACT!

Hassan Ayariga was the one that led the series of recent protests against the crimes being commited and against this illegal Eze.

You are warning who?
Take your scare tactics elsewhere.
I dare you to do your worst.

All these long epistles are unnecessary.
Abike Dabiri was appointed to protect the interests of all Nigerians and to project a positive image of Nigerians globally.
There is nowhere else in the world where a government official would go on national television to condemn an entire ethnic group or blatantly accuse them of crimes, effectively setting them up for hate and attacks.
She should resign immediately

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?
Inconsequential opinion!

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

https://www.thecable.ng/23-anambra-indigenes-on-death-row-in-indonesia-for-drug-offences-says-soludo/
You are right somehow. Igbos do a lot of drug things and it's bad. All this quick money syndrome dilutes the effort of hard working and entrepreneuring lgbos

But can this Yorubas political office holders be more responsible in handling issues.

It shouldn't be her singling lgbos out. She has been accused severally of tribalism and l have ave seen a lot of imbalance post she made on X.

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.


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 any attention to their ethnic identity.

Anyone with basic education should know that if Igbos make up the largest population of Nigerians in a particular country, it is only natural that they would also be the highest in all statistics including crime, success, employment..e.t.c in that country.

If Abike Dabiri is not a bigot, she should publish the names and ethnicities of all Nigerians in Saudi Arabian prisons or London prisons.


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

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.


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 and progress for decades
you people should stop committing certain crimes because out of 1000 arrested for that particular crime, 1001 of them are Igbos, is that not true so stop the crime and stop the backlash, when Una go begging shouting money na water, you nor dey complt

The truth is that if successive governments had not systematically denied Igbo youths opportunities to thrive in the country, they wouldn’t be seeking greener pastures abroad where a few of them turn to crime.

Crime is part of every society.
There are criminals in every ethnic group; in fact, there are even more criminals outside the Igbo tribe. So why single out the Igbos alone?

Anyone with basic education should know that if Igbos make up the largest population of Nigerians in a particular country, it is only natural that they would also be the highest in all statistics including crime, success, employment in that country.

If Abike Dabiri is not a bigot, she should publish the names and ethnicities of all Nigerians in Saudi Arabian prisons or London prisons.
There is no iota of truth in what you said. You are only looking for excuses to cover criminalities that are well exposed to the world. List the opportunities that successive government had denied you off. Out of 250+ tribes, it is only biafrans that are single handedly denied, right? Off course, you know you must be joking and making mockery of yourself for saying that. After all you called yourselves all billionaires and others are not. They even have brown roofs while you don't have single one.

How come those with brown roofs and 250plus other tribes you associated with poverty are not being caught in the web of criminality worldwide like biafrans? Successive government deniance is what make you go into baby factory businesses to sell your children and other children stolen, right? is it the same government deniance that make you to go into drug trafficking and spoil Nigeria name abroad on daily basis, right?

But when you find greener pastures you are looking for in another countries, what push you again into criminality or successive Nigeria government still follow you to India, Thailand etc to push you to criminality, right? You better stop covering up criminality so that Biafran leaders can quickly find lasting solution or why are your leaders running away from addressing it? Are they trying to cover up too instead of facing it once and for all by enacting law and joint enforcement that will put lasting solution.

Population of those serving jail abroad alone should be more than that of proposed "Adada" state, but yet you are still covering it up in this contemporary era of civilization and digitalization. Blow the trumpet of criminality around you, don't ever cover it up. Poverty or government neglect is never an excuse to lure you into criminality. For the fact that you even have money to travel abroad means you are better off than many millions from other tribes that are not committing crime

Una no like when people tell you the truth sha. It’s too much with the drugs. An education of the youth should be done. When the ashawo export too much for Edo, everyone was screaming too. Government put effort on that side, I remember it. We need to curb excesses not matter what because it affects us all. One thing is SEners suffer from this the most, but they don’t like to have a stain on their name. Well if you don’t like stain, do something about the overwhelming number of bad eggs.

When these guys are up for execution, it’s still the same Abike and government that have to be promising these Asian governments what is not necessary to save their lives. When it’s this uncontrollable greed that got them there and thousands see the news but still planning to go!

Your entire submission is built on stereotypes, misinformation and emotional outbursts, not facts.

Criminals exist in every tribe, every country, every race. Singling out Biafrans (which I assume you mean Igbo people) as if they have a monopoly on crime is not only false, it’s deeply prejudiced and intellectually lazy. Go and check prison statistics globally, you'd find Nigerians from various ethnic groups represented not just Igbos because crime is not tribal.
Selective outrage shows bias, not justice.

Now, about your question: What opportunities were denied?

Let’s list a few:
Systematic exclusion from key security and federal positions despite merit


No Major Oil and Gas Infrastructure is located in the east.
NNPC headquarters in Abuja
Oil companies headquarters are located in Lagos
Main refineries are in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna but none in the South-East.
No functional depot or refinery in Igbo states, despite proximity to oil-rich areas.
Igbos are cut off from direct access to oil sector wealth like exploration licenses, depot rights, downstream logistics.


Infrastructure Projects
Railway...Lagos–Ibadan railway built.
Abuja–Kaduna railway built.
Kano–Maradi (Niger Republic) railway built.
Yet, no federal railway project runs through the South-East.
Roads in the South-East are some of the worst maintained, despite being economic corridors.

Deliberate underdevelopment of the South-East in infrastructure and federal projects.

You talk about Biafrans spoiling Nigeria’s name abroad yet ignore that it’s the same Biafrans who build businesses, excel in academics, dominate medicine, tech and engineering across the world. Why must your only contribution to global relevance be tribal jealousy?

More than 5 years lol

You are not telling the truth
I live in the UK for looòooòoooong
60% of cars. Are petrol

So spare parts is the only thing that can be exported?
That is YOUR LEVEL
Ask those who know road to show you and stop this Ibo stronghead attitude of I too know

Last year Nigeria imported £6 billion =12 trillion worth of goods from the UK

That is more than the budget of all the Ibo states combined

Nobody said All Ibos do drugs but they do more than all other Nigerians combined and other Nigerians are tarred with the same brush
So Nigerians are right to call them out

No matter any hatred we are brothers

If a brother is arrested for shameful acts the disgrace affects the whole family

Why is that so hard to understand
