Guys in the hazmat suits, can the hospitals have them back, please? We're in the middle of a pandemic and they're very important for protecting healthcare workers. Now's not the time for this "look at me"  nonsense. 

I guess there's more than two in the country.......

Well, you might wanna tell the medical professionals here suffering from shortages. A truly ignorant comment for cheap laughs.

From the story, looks like he paid mules to do the transport.  Probably always stayed in rooms in some stupid girl's name.

Don't forget, up until a year or two ago, it was easy to fly under the radar for long overstays.  There was a maximum fine of B20,000 and no blacklist.  You could overstay 10 years, pay the fine and re-enter the next day.

But they were not pointing at anything. Epic fail of a Thai Police photo shoot. You need to point at the guy or the drugs.

Just did a bit of a check and alcohol and related issues kill more than illicit substances, but on average year you are probaly correct between virus and substances.

Let's just say and in a very mild and sheepish way that most, if not all, Nigerians and other african nations that are staying in this country don't have a good reputations of being a law abiding visitors/stayers... 

It is nauseating and shameful for you to stereotype all Nigerians and Africans living in Thailand. Many Aussies, Americans and Europeans have been caught for more than 15 years of overstay in Thailand but it didn't elicit such profiling and condemnation from you and your ilks. What do you have against Africans? What about those who are working tirelessly as teachers, lecturers, businessmen etc. contributing to the growth of Thai economy in their little space? Don't they have good reputations of being law abiding visitors and stayers too? Have you ever wondered how they were able to stay that long without being caught for such a long period of time? I think honest answers to these question will go a long way in addressing the problems by the authorities concerned. We are in 21st century and rise above your petty hatred and racism.

Really! You can't think of any reason why the cops were never able to 'find' him? Really!  ????

Bet you cant see him in the selfie they posted? He wears an invisible suit. LOL, 9 years easy.

[bkkgriz]

Gammara? How did they capture him? He's one bad customer.

I knew the Nigerian's brother.  He is a prince and I get emails from him about an inheritance in Nigeria and I only need to send some banking information to him to collect a large sum of money.

that’s a great post. I find the lack of reaction to it rather telling tho.

 

just shows how ignorant people are. There has been a large West African business community here for years, lots of long established shipping companies etc

 

mind you, if you walk into any expat bar in Thailand you never have to wait long before and Ignorant bigot starts loudly mouthing off

That's correct.

But at least posters should take the time to read the full article, and not only the headlines, before committing another act of Thai Bashing.

Nope just looking at the photo was more than enough! ????

[Number 6]

Is it just poorly worded? How can he be on decade long overstay if he snuggles ice outside country?

 

Anyway, another case for banning outright Nigerians. All west Africans.

I don't know how an African fella could have evaded suspicion by police and locals for 9 years. Perhaps he never left home.

A long time 'self isolating' 

[Iron Tongue]

He was probaby some sort of organizer or the head of the network, not a drug mule himself.

No way he could get through Thai Immigration so many times, and it'd be impossible to get through Japanese Immigration.  If you're an African trying to enter Japan, they don't hide their prejudice.

There are or were, lots of shady Nigerians lurking in BK up to no good.

[BobbyL]

Who authorises a press conference like that with what is going on at the moment?

 

Like school kids playing dress up. 

[bristolgeoff]

i also wonder how he was not caught or known about.now he is finished for his stay to thailand

No he didn't manage to do that, read the OP properly.  Fidelis, the one with the 9-year overstay, (or "Fedderlix or Gamara"), was not the one doing the traveling, the OP very clearly states that he was the ringleader that the traffickers led the police to.

 

Your comment is much more telling about the ability of comprehension of some members than it is of "how poor Thai Immigration officers are".

Many here have the Joe Bidden problem,and i don't mean about the wandering hands.

Almost certainly used some other passport. Would be interesting to know how many trips, when the "original" fingerprints entered the database if at all.

[sapson]

Sad thing is they fail to understand how bloody ridiculous the photo looks and nobody advises them.

 

But guess they dont care same as images of hundreds of westerners at immigration offices forced to do pointless 90 day reports etc when social isolation and only important travel advised.

 

However if you want a real insight and a laugh have a look at the independent newspaper on line article about how one chap is spending his time attending to his flock of subjects during the world pandemic and worsening crisis here.

 

Google is an eye opener! A suprise its not banned in Thailand.

Do you really need 12 people for a press conference in the current climate?

 

I'll answer that: NO!

 

Egocentric idiots!

It's for the photo. Pictures are extremely important here in my experience. I've no idea what they did before they had cameras.

If  you read the article he was the ring leader and one of his runners was arrested and led the police back to the ring leader.

Eighty percent posters in this forum lack reading/writing comprehension and they also suffer from Dunning Krugger syndrome. I bet they will all fail in GRE reading/writing comprehension tests. I based my 80% using the famous 80/20 rule.
