What is the problem with most igbos here on nairaland. Any small issue,they have like this,they will claim to be tormented by the yorubas.

EgunMogaji:
Why can't she go back to the us and wait to reach retirement age?

True that, this is why l dont trust anybody in Nigeria, it is better to be on ground to see the construction of your projects, be in tune with the family that sold land to you and just make sure you do due diligence all the time as much as you can, the poverty level in Nigeria has made some people to be the devils advocate, l feel for the woman

UIA04:

REFINED igbo WOMAN like I said, I've seen Yoruba women do this, without any harassment

Op, that woman story is even a tip of the iceberg of what some people abroad have encountered in trying to invest back home. My uncle is a travel agent. I've overheard his conversations with most of his clients where they narrate their ordeals in trying to invest back home and also telling him, they've got nothing to do with Nigeria anymore.

My brothers and sisters. Nigeria still has a long way to go!

Schwartz:
Very sad story. I personally know a woman facing same issue too. She is still a nurse in US. She decided to invest in Nigeria. She was sending money home to her own blood, her nephew to help her buy the land, construct and build a befitting edifice. For those of us abroad we understand better what it means to work, pay taxes,and all the bills and then have a little left to save. To save money here is not so easy. Yet she saved for years and sent this money home. Her nephew with the naija mentality that everyone abroad is swimming in money swindeled this lady. I mean her hard earned money of many years all gone!
The guy used the money and built a place for himself with her money. After spending many years abroad she decided to inspect her building because based on her calculation the building ought to be finished. Lo and behold this guy not only barred her from entering, he fixed all documents of the house in his own name. I mean from the land, to all reciepts of building materials used were in his name. Frustrated she dragged him to court. This case has been in court for many years. Each time there is a court case this poor lady leaves America, pays her flight ticket plus other expenses. Sometimes she needs to appear several times a year. Just imagine the waste of money. There is still no headway till now. Our judiciary system of court adjournments makes things even worse. But the frightening part is her nephew stood on the podium looked her in the eye and said she never sent him any money

So in ur wrapped view,it's only the refined igbo people that are always harassed right.
Continue spilling how u have no clue.

Bro, if upon further verifications her story holds and she still has some proof, I can mobilize myself and some colleagues to give her legal representation, pro bono, if she is still willing to pursue justice.

You can DM me anytime on this, please.

UIA04:
This is sad. My mom owns properties too and I wonder how it would be if such was done to her. Humans are wicked. The annoying part, is that the kids of these evil people are probably schooling abroad enjoying and these woman's kids, are suffering overseas scared to return to their homeland.
I pray help gets to her immediately. And for those evil cab driving men tormenting her, may they continue doing that job till they die. The reason they torment her isn't cause she is a woman, but cause she is a REFINED IGBO WOMAN. trust me I've seen an alhaja doing this in my area with no harassment at all.
I wish the Lagos State government can do something ASAP or some human rights lawyer.

UIA04:

I will not insult you, but I'm actually referring to the park she works. Half of the men there are semi illiterates who have never traveled out of Nigeria
And here comes a WOMAN, who has lived and worked abroad for a long time and to top it up she is ibo
Like I said my Mom owns properties, and we live in a predominantly Yoruba Street where she is the only landlady with a storey the other landlady the house was an inheritance.
I've witnessed the cold shoulder we've received time and again most especially from women like her though, now it is a bit better.

Exactly!!! Their victim mentality is sickening. My mom's two plots of land, in two different locations in Lagos were sold to other people by the same people that sold it to her. We wanted to fight it, but when we saw how bloody those guys can go, we let it go. Omo onile in Lagos are ruthless...it doesn't matter what part of Nigeria you are from, most of them will still cheat you...so the OP needs to not make this a tribal hate thing.

opedaydydx9:
u started well but at the end u sounded like a fool in quote ... I felt sory for her anyways.. I wanted to acquire some properties my brother advised me to be very careful so I won't fall victim for God's sake am yoruba and still scared of whatever might happen... Sprry for the curse though

ejamahrandy:
oga itk. dude am a fan of g unit. and I clearly recognized 50 cent, Lloyd banks, tony yayo, young buck when I see them. OK.

BlackMaria:

Leave that idiot to be wailing and screaming tribal nonsense as if omo oniles gives a fvck bout ethnic identity.

EXCUSE ME, I DONT BELIEVE HER STORY THAT (1) SHE HAD A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO HER, ALSO (2) THAT A COURT IN NIGERIA DELIVERED A JUDGEMENT IN HER ABSENCE-- THAT IS A LIE===NO COURT IN THIS WORLD WILL EVER DO THAT.==THIS STATEMENTS FROM HER HAS DAMAGED MY RESPECT FOR HER=== AND RATED HER AS A JUST A TAXI DRIVER JIST. FULL STOP.

dumo1:

so you and your mum just let it go like that. The money she spent on the lands nko? didn't she collect receipts from the said people she bought it from at least she should have tried to get her money back from those thieves she bought the land from. Money is not easy to come by, m sure your mum worked so hard to get her money to purchase the land.
