As a Nigerian and as far as money is involved, there is no way there could be a "mafia" that could control things across Italy on the scale of which they speak. We are simply just not that organised, that is literally the fundamental fault of our country.
If you know how secret cults work in Nigeria you'll know it's not impossible what this video is portraying. I've heard Nigerians also control drug trade in some parts of South Africa. We're not quite as disorganised as you think, at least when it comes to crime.
15:37 All Nigerian men, women and children in Italy are just over 200,000. The Italian police force alone is nearly 300,000. Italian military plus reservist are some 200,000 personnel with access to state of the art weapons and equipment. Even if every Nigerian man, woman, child, student, worker took up arms, they would be delusional to take on an army of half a million troops. To tag them as more sophisticated than the Italian mafia is just unbelievable.
That guy was saying that the Nigerian mafia has more muscle than the Italian mafia, not more than the police force or the military. I mean, either way the statement is questionable (probably just straight up absurd) but I wanted to clarify.
Remember that story a few weeks ago of that farm worker who was working undocumented in Italy and had an accident and was left to die on the street by his employers?
So....who wrote the green bible? How did the guy know it would be mailed between Nigeria and Italy? Did people confess to crimes they didn't do and an organization that doesnt exist? so many holes in this story.
60 percent of human trafficking based in Torino every people knew Believe me mafia Nigeria is real and they work with Mafia Italiano together things is happening not joke
They can't become a mafia. They can only organise themselves in smaller groups as criminals cuz even the Mafia Boss cannot trust that many people to be loyal to him.
That's not just fair... this is pure racism, prejudice and injustice as we witness it every single day as african migrants living in Italy. BENVENUTI IN ITALIA
It’s sad, pathetic and grossly disappointing that Nigerians gets this inhumane treatment in Italy and the Nigerian foreign affairs ministry stood afar with arms folded and not taking fierce diplomatic actions against the Italian government.
This happens worldwide -- countries open their borders to myriad immigrants all over the world but when African/ Black/Afro Caribbean immigrants come there is a visceral reaction against them that sparks anti- immigrant sentiment. For example, in the 90s the US consistently returned Haitian immigrants coming on rafts and dingys but gave Cubans coming on rafts asylum. In the early 2000s to the mid 2010s, France and governmental factions rioted and protested the growing African immigrant presence, and now this example in Italy. Same story different day... it's just what it is and probably always will be...🤷🏽♀️
After going through the full video and understanding everything I can say this was pure racism.All these accusations was due to stereotypes and poor policing policies.
@@randychris5031 Perhaps the word "mafia" been used was the wrong word in your view, it suppose to be cultist right? heartless cultists who operate like a Mafia.

THEY DID NOT THINK, THEY KNOW THESE ARE NOT MAFIAS THEY JUST DON'T WANT BLACKS SO THEY COOK UP DIFFERENT CRIMES AGAINST AFRICANS. MANY INNOCENT BLACKS ARE ROTTING AWAY IN ITALIAN JAILS. UNITED NATIONS SHOULD INVESTIGATE

The term" Nigeria Mafia" was coined by the Italian far right to gain political popularity/sympathy from the Italian people. The political campaigns recently is solely of migrants particularly of the African decent. But won't speak of tthe Italian system which is confusingly bureaucratic and corrupt .
there is a reason why stereotypes exist. and yet i agree with you that you can not put everyone in the same box but you know what....imperfect and bad human behaviour is hard to get off your back. and that is something we all have in common. it goes both ways no matter what and where you come from.
in the early days asking a member of underworld in italy and especially in the south about mafia they used to respond that there is not such a thing and they are inocent hard working people, the story repeats it self. The problem is that they are involved in criminal activitys or how they called?
Ah yes Italy the orgin state for the most ruthless mafia organizations in the whole world now wants us to believe that Amateur Nigerian agans are more ruthless LOL
This is one of the reasons i stopped making friends with my Nigeria people, you can easily be arrested for having a normal phone conversation with persons under investigation believe to be committing crimes, you would be arrested and tag as mafia group, after the arrest with no proper evidence, you would be asked for a please bargain for a lesser sentence for a crime you didn't commit in the first place. 🙄🙄
When people do crimes elsewhere they like to cite Africa as a whole. No that's not correct. Each person must answer for themselves, instead of dragging innocent Africans into it. Most countries can make laws to protect their citizens whether it's fair or not.
in italy they very organized family gangs that are institutionally adapting to Italian standards enough so that they are highly respected in a very ethnic world view. the camorra the mocro the Albanians the ndraghetta and cosa nostra all respect.
"Mafia" is an informal term that is used to describe criminal organizations. Camorra, Ndrangheta, Solncevskaja bratva, La Eme, Sinaloa Cartel, Yakuza... Criminal group + rules + organization = mafia.
Its not just how well one example can represent the whole, it's not just simple racism. The issue is immigration policy and tolerances. It's too much, too fast and from too many sides. Arrivals wont integrate with the local values. Instead they bring their own and with them some of the bad actors bring their strife. We want to help, we want to share in this great life we have. But the boat cannot hold this many people, especially when some of them seem to be punching holes in it...
@@dalton54123 People shouldn't be entering italy illegally and people shouldn't be jailed without due process. Also, the Nigerian minister that was arrested was not even in Italy,
Italian mafia groups are very sophisticated and widespead. And the police and state have many years experience gathering evidence against them. However for the Nigerians all they have is one man's testimony, a dodgy bugged meeting (which revealed nothing) which looked like a seminar and a book they bought online? Like anywhere else individuals and even small gangs in migrant communities are involved in certain crimes. But to this scale? To prove organized crime nationally its useful to show how a group is actually organized which this doesn't. Where's the money trail? And there are Nigerians in other European countries, you'd think police forces, Interpol etc. would be aware of this 'mafia' too. But they're not. Sounds like they're just a convenient scapegoat so certain politicians can exploit the situation.

In japan too but they working together so not Nigerian mafia if not work with Italy mafia ok same in every country and government is the boss any where
Its sad that every country they go to, they are involved in bad things. They spoil it for other hard working Africans and genuine Nigerians. Such a shame
