When will they release full list of Nigerian politicians that laundered our money to the USA

How about the fact that not even a single Nigerian elected official is free from corruption? Yes, not even one! Right from the top down to the local government chairman, each and everyone of them has taken public money that he/she did not earn as salary or allowance. Even Okorocha said it while still in office that no Nigerian depended on salary. Their stealing prevents employment opportunities for the common young Nigerian that has no godfather to place him/her in the scarce government jobs. However, I do not in any way support the action of the so called 'yahoo boys', but I will forgive them before I forgive our elected officials.

The US should please desist from calling these criminals Nigerians. They are not. These are citizens of the United Republic of Criminal Biafra under the command of the Lunatic Kanu. The Nigerian peaceful Igbos who are in the majority cannot allow themselves to be enmeshed in such diabolically recklessness financial criminality.

Well done for qualifying to be on this list. I hope the world can now see what we are dealing with in our country. May God help the rest of us who have to carry the burden of these scumbags!.

Vote an Igbo man in 2023 as president of Nigeria, Allah ya yakiyaye

Kai kai kai Igbo ! na wao they think say den go do wetin they do in naija in America too, mumu Everyone knows them from BIAFRAUD to FRAUDSTERS all of them no EXCEPTIONS. In classroom during exams they caught an Igbo man cheating just yesterday in USA, cheating in Banks, elections, schools everything and everywhere from Malaysia to Dubai, from China to Australia, in US, UK, Germany even Brazil and Mexico, the world got to see what we are going thru in Nigeria with this lawless people.

Agreed. Well said can you tell your elite to allow us go. Lets go and continue with our fraud life. Just give us 8yrs and is our return.

It's quite disheartening ... when you see these guys spend money at the night clubs , you will be wondering what you are doing in this world. I am not rich but I will never be in a hurry to get rich by dubious means .

Herdsmen media! Why are most of the names from Igbo race. I smelled rat!

FBI provided the LIST pls check and see if you name is there Ukechukwu lol, your people are brainless fraudsters

When a known certificate forger is the president what do you expect? He does not appoint those he does not know personally, so he knows about Buruji, Kemi Recession, Rotimi Amaechi, Fashola, Buratai and went ahead to hire them to forge figures and names of people.

continue dreaming. you entire ibo clan go dey sleep in america prison. dey don catch one billionaire

Biafrans destroying Nigeria's name! Wish the referendum is done already.

Hmmmm! smelling rat here. This list may be from Buhari o? lol!

Anything is possible in the zoo.

No! It can only happen in your tribe where u have zero regards to elders and leaders!

Hahahahaha!!! Omo ale!

entire ibo clan in america

Entirely not a single igbo man is America is clean, run away when you see an igbo man

you are a lunatic

Later they will be wondering why Nigerians are denied visas by the droves. When they release their immigration status, you will be shocked that majority of those already captured in the US overstayed their visas.Even Pelosi and her cohorts that want illegal aliens to take over the US will fringe at the scale of this fraud. But these our "blothers" are very "industrious".

yes yes industrious like obiwanne okeke. biliionaire go sleep in america jail for 20 years. hhhahahah

Hmmm. I tire for this generation of Nigerians o. Nobody wants to do something meaningful and legitimate to earn a living any longer. Nobody wants to work hard legitimately. It is worse with my Igbo brothers. 95% of names listed here are Igbos. Ikegwuru oo!!! Country hard country hard, why won't country be hard when even the led are rogues. Leaders thieves, followers thieves. God forbid bad thing.

THESE ARE NOT NIGERIANS.....they iPod or biafraud!!! FBI need to be educated on this! Omo YIBO..that's the only thing they know how to do! Yet they always believe they are the most enterprising - useless/cursed race!

It is indeed embarrassing for a preponderant majority of the suspects above to be from a specific tribe. Quite unfortunate.

lol, why so solemnly ?

Problem with the Igbos is bondage to their culture - culure that expects too much material achievement. When young people come of age,, and ffind they can't meet that expectation in a legitimate way, they look for it by fraudulent means. That's the root of all the armed robberies and cult and stuff like this. The Yoruba have a similar culture. In New Jersey, New York and Minnesota many Yorubas have been arrested in the past few years for credit card fraud. In the U.S. those two ethnic groups, Igbo and Yoruba, waste thousands of dollars to do parties each weekend as if there's no problem where they come from. Even some hold parties for no reason, just so they don't look like they are too poor. It is a spirutual bondage that can only be overcome with the Spirit of Christ.

In so much as 80 people had been fingered in this crime, majority of them coming from a particular ethnic group of the country, one cannot make a sweeping generalization, as is found on this thread, to the effect that all persons from that ethnic group are involved in that crime. That is quintessential lazy thinking and analysis.

Mor0n, but you all hated Northerners and all herdsmen for the crime of a few of them. All muslims too were guilty of he crime of Boko Haram from your point of view.
Olodo, you all Biafrauds are CRIMINALS !

Truth is ,this is just one cell of fraudsters. Not just ibos, you have yorubas, edos/deltalites, etc, who are actively in this scam all over the world.

Way back circa 1999, the emergent class of 419ers, email scammers, money doublers, and sweetheart scammers became active in Nigerian urban centers and schools.

Any Naija guy aged 45 at least, and is educated, on the average, knows one person who was a classmate in the university or college or lived in the neighborhood who is into this scam. So, lets stop the profiling. If the country gets better and conditions improve, more Nigerians will pursue legitimate livelihoods and find scams less inviting.

I share your sentiments but sadly most people don't realise that crime is global and not in the exclusive preserve of some ethnic, tribal or religious group.
As we can see in the corruption scandal in Nigeria, all ethnic nationalities - including minorities have been complicit in the looting of our commonwealth.

Before we start getting sentimental about this news, can we first ask ourselves what percentage of Nigerians make up the entire correctional institutions in states across the US and then the entire USA.

We will do ourselves greater good by condemning this criminal act and not allow the Western Media to allow us to get at each other's throat while they laugh us to scorn - crime is crime. Nobody asked what state Bernard Maddorf came from when he got jailed for the Ponzi scheme!

Nigerians (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and minority tribes) are doing well and contributing heavily to American economy in great number which explains why the remittances figures are higher than the foreign aid the country receives year-on-year.

That said, let us begin to examine ourselves and go back to the basics, let us admit that value systems are important and uphold them rather than just mind our business.

Let us speak against members of criminal enterprise, question their source(s) of wealth and publicly shame them - this includes politicians, civil servants and looters of our commonwealth.

God bless Nigeria!!

Igbo kwenu....

Please let us give them Biafra...the shame is getting too much

What about the Yoruba boys doing rituals to make money? Does it mean that the entire Yoruba nation are into Yahoo plus? The ones carrying cocaine nko? How about the prevalence of Edo indigenes in Europe prostituting? Does it mean that there aren't other tribes prostituting in Europe? Does it mean that the rest are also prostitutes?

Too bad.

Move on -- No News Here!

The FBI deals with thousands of cases every year involving foreign nationals across the world, but you never see newspapers in any other country writing a lengthy news report giving a list of names of their nationals. Only lazy and clueless Nigerian journalists do this.

There are 36+ states in Nigeria, yet we hear little about life and events in them. Instead PT frequently feeds its readers copy and paste news reports of crimes committed by Nigerians abroad -- as if only Nigerians commit crimes. Further perpetrating the myth that Nigerians in the diaspora are all criminals. Well, here is the breaking news!

Nigerians in Diaspora Remittances Rise to US$25 Billion in 2019

You lazy journalists at PT also want to see this:

President Buhari presents US$28.8 billion budget for 2019

Ibos are big time fraudsters.

They are 419ners...ritualists..thieves...everything evil about money is igbos...what is it...
Honestly I support we give them Biafra...and ship every one of them to Biafraland..
They are shaming our country

I manage a business at Yaba and 90% of the Yahoo boys that come there are Yorubas. Sometime last year, a white woman travelled down to Nigeria to get some Yoruba boys who scammed her arrested. That the list is predominantly Igbos doesn't make Igbos bad. The same way I have always stated that the fact Boko Haram claim to be Muslims and kill in the name of Islam, doesn't make Muslims bad or Islam a bad religion.

My broda, I am not sure you get the point of the outrage here. How do you expect to run a business located in Yaba and wonder why Yoruba boys are the majority attending?. Can you open a branch of your business somewhere in Imo, Anambra or Ebonyi and lets talk after?. The sense of outrage here is, this is coming from a foreign country where there are other Nigerians from all the different States of the country, how comes the list is so populated by these people?. This is not the first time remember, we have seen the names of many Nigerians in foreign prisons for one reason or the other including those executed in countries like Indonesia etc. The proportion of these same people always caught in foreign countries is alarming, what does this do to our image as a country?. Again, I am not saying all Ibos are like these criminals actually I do not know many but, the few that I know have cheated me one way or the other, to put it mildly, they have abuse my trust for them and I am not alone as a fellow Nigerian!.

Piss off!

Truth pain you...ha ha ha

This is unfair, how can they just reel out names of the most enterprising, educated, industrious Ibos ? Is this how Trump want to repay them back after celebrating his victory, why is it that there is not a SINGLE Hausa or Fulani on the list?

Until you see the list of Terrorists and Bandits in Nigeria.

Can we stop the tribal baiting? No doubt, PT wants readers to start tribal flame war -- it sells newspaper, but causes more division amongst Nigerians.

Would you have commented as above if the names are from other parts of Nigeria, especially Hausa, 'Foolani' or Yorubas? Some of us always warn you people that when you point one finger at a person, the other four are pointing back at you. Shame!!

My broda, this is the hypocrisy with which we tackle issues in Nigeria and no wonder the country is falling apart. A spade should be called by its name and until we accept this we shall not make progress. You can't see 'white' and insist on saying it is 'black'. Thank God this is coming from another country, if this indictment came from Nigeria, it would have been called 'Marginalization' you name it. Many of them have been executed in Indonesia for doing what they do best, the world saw their names whenever they were going to face the bullets. As we debate this right now, many are in prisons across the globe for the same reason be it Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, all over Europe and Africa. Instead of saying enough is enough to Nigerians who drag all of us into the mud, some are busy providing senseless unscientific analyses. Just obey the laws of any society you find yourself, do not be pathologically gullible and greedy, you will be fine!.

I totally agree with you, if you can't Identify the problem, you can't solve it. Our problem is everyone is defending their tribe instead of defending the truth.

I know know...Trump must be an Afonja..or a Cow who wants to marginalize biafra..from getting rich quick

WHY ARE OUR IGBO BROTHER TARNISHING NIGERIANS IMAGE IN THIS MANNER.
99% IGBO...
VERY SHAMEFUL.
GOD HAVE MERCY ON OUR COUNTRY.

Out of every twelve people, there must be a Judas.

The Igbos make up 90% of the Nigerians in the United States. Is it then surprising that a 86% of the Nigerian Medical Doctors in the US are Igbos? Will anybody be surprised to know that 92% of the Nigerian Attorneys in the United States are Igbos? Do you know that 96% of the Nigerian Engineers in the United States are Igbos? Finally, will any of you be surprised that 80% of the Nigerians in the US Prisons are Igbos?

And then this recent FBI bust. Are you shocked to learn that 99% of the Fraudsters they arrested are Igbos?

And talking about Nigeria, and the wisdom of all of you, Every one of you look around you. Don't even stretch your necks to see what is happening in the United States. Just look in your backyard and here is what you will see:
Local Government council Members............... CRIMINALS, LIARS and FRAUDSTERS
State House Of Assembly ............................... CRIMINALS, LIARS and FRAUDSTERS
Governors ........................................................ CRIMINALS, LIARS and FRAUDSTERS
National House of Reps. .................................. CRIMINALS, LIARS and FRAUDSTERS
National Senators ............................................. CRIMINALS, LIARS and FRAUDSTERS
President .......................................................... IMBECILE, LIAR, THIEF, FRAUDSTER AND CROOKED

We are not surprised that some of your rotten eggs came to the United States.
