Hmmm . . .

That was how Nigerians celebrated Invictus Obi as an inspirational, young billionaire entrepreneur . . . until he was arrested abroad in 2019.

Arrested by FBI and convicted for serial fraud

I guess we can be proud that our EFCC has stepped up over the years. Very good news to start my day.

Most of their so called billionaires have questionable source of wealth. It's either they are into drug trafficking, Armed robbery, and other illegal businesses. They convert the proceeds of their crime and establish businesses to make it look legal. These are the same unfortunate people that keeps tagging the President as drug smuggler whereas almost 70% of their people are involved in drug trafficking. What pains me most is that you will never see them condemn their people but are always quick to attack other regions caught in the act. Whether you're from the East, West, North or South and you're engaged in illegal businesses that involves killings of your fellow human or tarnishing the image of the country through drug and human trafficking, the long arm of the law will surely catch up with you one day and you'll regret the day you venture into such.
