A lot of Nigerians deserve to suffer! This man called yahaya belloo should be ostracized in a sane society!

I only pity small thieves in Nigeria. If you wanna steal, make it big and unimaginable. The bigger your theft, the more respect you attract. When they see you and hear the amount of money you stole, you command fear and respect instantly. Again, I pity small thieves.
