Truly this Igbo man son "BUY am"
ReplyDeleteIgbo are always with dubious things.Even if Biafra is granted to them,it can not last for a year.
ReplyDeleteYou are very stupid
DeleteNigerian Eye, or whoever it is that has coined this topic has not done justice to this nation. It would have been better if you had not added "Igbo man" to the capture to this news article. A crook is a crook irrespective of where they are from. Help save this country by your writing. Am not igbo for the records.
ReplyDeleteNigerianeye, is this how you give report? Why writing Igbo man instead of a man? By the way what is the name of the man you termed as Igbo? You are one of the promoters of ethnic hates.
ReplyDeleteNa Chijoke Eze b him name! If Na Hausa or Yoruba or a Muslim now, you will no problem with that. Abeg wake up, that's your stock in trade....419, drugs smuggling, kidnapping, ritual killings etc biafraud indeed!
Deletebad caption for a good report, portraying the igbo ethnic group in a bad light thereby deepen the rift of ethnicity. this reporter and the paper should cover their heads in shame, for for fostering ethnic divide through their print media. the right caption should be "Man arrested for trying to bank with fake currency in lagos."
ReplyDeleteGod help nigeria.
Igbos in Nigeria are known with greediness. I'll come to think of it how many terrorists groups are emerging from their midst. I swear if government should grant them biafra today tomorrow entire igbo land will burned down. Bastards ambode was right to get rid of you from our beautiful eko.
ReplyDeleteIgbos are synonymous with anything FAKE. (Fake money, Spare Parts, Drugs the list is endless) Every time you also hear about "Baby Factories" it is the Igbos involved, Any Nigerians arrested abroad for narcotics and drug trafficking it is the Igbos: Nigerians sentenced to be executed in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, its the Igbos. For every 10 inmates currently in prison in these countries for drug related offences 7 are Nigerians and all seven are most likely Igbos.
ReplyDeleteThe Igbos are generally mischievous, Crafty, Dishonest and will cheat you at the slightest chance or opportunity without blinking an eyelid. This tribe will do ANYTHING for money including human for money rituals (Okija Shrine, Otokoto and Clifford Orji). The calibre of Igbos involved in human for money rituals ranges from the ordinary Truck Pusher and Shop owner at Ariaria, Ikoku, Orile, Alaba Intl, Kano Main etc, etc, to State Governors from the East and Senators. The Igbos because of lust for money AT ALL COST would readily Kill and sacrifice their beloved mother or siblings for money rituals.
Wherever markets you find Igbo traders, There will ALWAYS be a fire outbreak in the Ember Months leading to a crescendo in December. The Igbos are arsonist who set every markets they trade from alight rendering everyone back to poverty level (this could be a requirement from the deity they worship for money rituals every year). These brief analysis may anger many and shock some, but it is the bitter truth. Let's call a spade a spade and nothing else. Those who are constantly giving Nigeria a very BAD name and Image all over the world are mainly the Igbo tribe just because of money. Their culture does not ask where and how you become a Millionaire overnight, instead what comes out of their mouth is that " The boy has arrived" meaning he has finally made it. But where and how is immaterial so long as he can spray foolishly at parties as if money is going out of fashion. You just need to watch the videos of Igbo parties either home or abroad and see how they "spray" raw cash on celebrants and musicians and most immoral stamping and walking on the money sprayed on the floor. But they will turn back and insult other tribes and call our country Nigeria a Zoo. Let them (Igbos) carry out a referendum starting from their states for a Biafra country and will discover that what is currently happening in South Sudan (inter tribal Genocide because of resources) will be a child's play to what they will experience. Ka Chineke Mezie oku.
It's like igbos overpowered you with money and took away your girlfriend from you. Sorry oo
DeleteI am not Igbo, but NigerianEye has absolutely no reason to state the tribe of the criminal. We do not have to identify a criminal by his tribe. There are criminals in every tribe.
