They begin on the streets, in universities, confraternities, cults. They spread terror, corruption and fear throughout the globe, bringing their obsession with money and power to every nation on earth, increasing violent crime assault murder and bribery and causing damage to society, but most of all spitting on the image of Nigerians with their actions. I am talking about Nigerian drug-dealers.

They are everywhere.

These people have completely tarnished Naija's image to the rest of the world. Statistically too. In Switzerland, the average Nigerian is over 600% more likely to commit crime than the average native Swiss German, and over 95.5% of Nigerian immigrants to Switzerland were involved in organised crime. Because of the economic situation in Nigeria, the majority of Nigerians who ever leave the country are generally drug traffickers and barons, and this has had a catastrophic effect on the countries they enter and ruin the image of Nigerians to the rest of humanity.

Personally I think a big part of the problem is the fetishism of aroba gang violence and drug culture, how it is seen as "cool" and is encouraged in raps. There are connections between subculture or popculture and people's motivations, aspirations and activities - e.g. after Breaking Bad aired on TV, there was a huge rise in the number of applicants to Chemistry degrees at US universities. People wonder where these drug barons come from when little kids listen to aroba bullshit before they know how to 3x3. Of course there's also the more affecting factor of the fact that these people come from the slum or violent neighbourhoods, but the baron overlords have no such excuse.

Nah, I doubt it

They are sponsored and backed by top men in d society... Most of these politicians and so called importers are all drug Lords... D ones being caught are merely their runners

Notice how this well tailored thread didn't make FP? But useless Tonto Dike rumours. That is part of the problem
