A person who invites his brothers to invest in real estate and business with a very intricate and detailed presentation only for them to find out that there was no such investment and that he has moved to another part of the country, threatening to file bankruptcy to avoid prosecution...he is a DOROBO.

There are two known types of DOROBOS, the specialist and the generalist.

Get the dorkboy mug.A clever fusion of the words "Doro" and "Bucci" first used and then popularised by one of Africa's foremost Music Producers, Don Jazzy alongside his Mavins Crew.
"Bucci" describes a thing or activity that is pleasing and fun. A fantastic or awesome person, thing or moment.
"Doro" is a personification of these attributes of awesomeness, fun and pleasure. Doro is all round perfection.
"DoroBucci" is then safely concluded to mean the very essence of "Human" perfection. The suggestion that "DoroBucci" refers to some god or is a comparison to God is thus misleading as The Mavins throughout the song used the term in comparison to Worldly things and attributes.
